First there were motorcycles
Wow, what a night. I don't know how to do this without giving a set list or spilling any surprises. I can say that I had a great time at the Canyon Club last night. I finally got to meet people who have, until now, just been names on the list. From the motorcycles to the encore the guys were fantastic. The new songs are all even better live than they are on SR. Two years is way to long to go between Doobie shows. It will never happen again. Thanks to Lori for for everything that she did for us. I'm sorry for being so vague, but I really don't want to give anything away. See everybody in a couple of days.

Re: Thank God for the Doobie Brothers...
Now wait a minute, I just saw Bad Co. last week (they were as much Free as they were Bad Co., just Rogers and Kirke) and they did Alright Now. It had everybody on their feet. It may seem insipid now, but back then it was pretty daring. O.K., i'll give you the guitar solo. I still like the song though.

Canyon Club
Well, I finally gave in and got Canyon Club tickets. Three days before HOB. So I will really be in the mood for the convention. My son went to a batting cage out in Agoura. My wife called me from the box office at the club and asked me if she should get tickets. What was I supposed to say, NO?

Re: Doobies Musical Tastes
That is from Delaney Bonnie Friends around 1969 or early 1970. The band also included Dave Mason, George Harrison and Rita Coolidge among others. So it is very possible that Eyes of Silver was done with that in mind. It would be interesting to find out. I will try and ask Tommy next month at the convention if I get a chance to talk to him. Chris --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It's really interesting that Eric Clapton should come up in this discussion. A few weeks ago on the radio I heard a recording of Clapton in concert covering Dave Mason's Only You Know and I Know. I don't know how old the performance was, but it sure did sound a lot like Eyes of Silver (I came in after the song had started and at first thought it was the Doobies from the sound of the guitars). Made me wonder if he had taken a cue or two from the Doobs. Maybe there's a mutual admiration thing going on? ;-) John, the lurker from Jersey _ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe doobiefans-list in the body. _ Sign up for FREE email from ARROW 93 Radio at http://www.arrowfm.com _ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe doobiefans-list in the body.

Re: Non-Doobie/A message to the new members
You will also find postings that seem off topic, such as the toy drive, blood drive or various benefits for the NVF that are not. These are causes that are important to the Doobies and we have tried to do our part to help. Some people (who shall remain nameless but her initials are Cinderella) post things that have no purpose except to be strange and amuse people. We look forward to them. We are just here to have fun in a Doobie kind of way. If things get out of hand (as they sometimes do) our fearless leader steps in and puts us back on track. Sit back and enjoy the ride. Chris --- Rick Santangelo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Let's keep it Doobie - oriented, y'all. This is getting ridiculous. Before this gets out of hand I'd like to speak for the fan club if I may. Ron, I know what you're saying about keeping it Doobie oriented, but you have to realize that many people on this list have been here for years and this list is more than just a fan club. Occasionally there will be posts that are off topic, but they are usually posted with good intentions by people who care STRONGLY for their friends on this list. There is no way to keep it 100% Doobie oriented when you have the type of bonding and the special friendships that have been formed on this list. This is not like your typical average Rock 'n' Roll mailing list. It's very unique and to be a part of it you have to endure some off-topic posts to find the true gems that you won't find elsewhere. The depth of knowledge of many of the members here is stunning! The news and information you get here can NOT be found anywhere else on the Web, period. Just wait until there is another Doobie Birthday. You'll see posts like: Happy B-Day Tommy! And then someone else will post: Yeah, Happy B-Day Tommy! And then before you know it, you've got 50 messages in your in-box telling Tommy how much we love him. It isn't going to stop but you WILL hit the delete key and stay on the list because of the contributions by the people that know this band MORE thoroughly than some of the members of the Doobie's themselves! Please try and understand where people are coming from and know that you can't enforce rules about what should and what shouldn't be posted on a mailing list. All you can do is hope that it's kept to a minimum and enjoy the ride. There is much knowledge and happiness to be found amongst the off-topic stuff on this amazing list.

Re: Trading anyone?
Not that I wouldn't love to hear some of the shows I've been to again. But, this isn't a trading list. It is a fan list. As far as I know the Doobies do not support taping or trading of shows. Just ask Rerun. Chris --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm new to the list - so hello all. If anyone is interested in trading, please contact me off list. I am dying to get some more Doobie shows.

RE: Doobie Double Bills
One that hasn't been mentioned yet. The Dodgers used to have what they called Rock Around the Park. They had a free concert after games a couple of times a year. One of them was The Doobies and George Thorogood. Another was Joe Walsh. Unfortunately they also had KC and the Sunshine Band and the Village People. My son loved it. It was hard to keep myself from running screaming from the stadium.

Re: Hard Decision
Scooter, I don't think this is what Holly meant when she said wake up. I don't know the who's why's and how's of your situation, but we just went through this with another member a little while ago. If you think you need to go, I hope it will only be temporary. If I can borrow from another band for a minute. "You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave." You will be missed. Chris --- Scooter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've been contemplating this for two weeks now and I've come to a regretful decision. I was caught up in a behind the scenes fiasco, that I did not ask for, nor deserve. I handled it the best way that I knew how to, as was asked to by the sender. I was slammed belittled by an individual who stated that he had the backing of quite a few in the fan club, stating who he knew and how well he knew them and how much power he had because of his said relationship. I have enjoyed my time with the fan club up until this time but I feel uncomfortable with this situation, so I will be signing off. I had anticipations of attending the Convention in LA, but I don't want to start tension or make a scene, which I feel may happen in such a scenario. I was looking foreward to meeting so many of you. I'm sorry that it has come to this and I will miss the majority of you badly. Thanks for all of your compliments and support of my Doobie Site of the Day, while it lasted.

Ironic, isn't it
I entered a contest a couple of months ago sponsored by VH1. It was a trivia quiz about the Hall of Fame. The winner got a trip to the induction dinner. One of the questions was: Which of these classic rock artists is not in the Hall of fame? The answer, of course, was the Doobie Brothers. That hurt, but I finished the quiz anyway and sent it in. Yesterday I received a package from VH1. It turns out I won second prize. It was a $25 gift certificate to Blockbuster, an ATT phone card with 300 minutes on it and a really nice leather bound CD case. To top it all off I also got a denim jacket with a patch on it saying Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2001. I think I am going to sew an X over the patch and get myself a big Doobie patch to put on the back.

Re: LOS ANGELES/HOB vs SARATOGA/Who's Dano?
Well, we just had a little thing called Doobie Survivor that put the albums (umm, CD's) in order of must have. We don't all agree entirely with the order, but it was a consensus. So looking back over the past few weeks postings by Thor would give you a good idea. And yes, The Captain was number one.

Re: Who are the doobfans?
Gary you don't have to turn 30 if you don't want to. I've been 29 for years, just ask my kids. You just have to keep adjusting your year of birth. Unfortunately this means that as of next year I will have been a Doobie fan for longer than I have been alive. But hey, that's possible isn't it? Chris --- "Gary Banton" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: OK, my turn I guess My name is Gary Banton (a.k.a The Limey Doobie), I'm 29 years old (30 in about 6 weeks time! aaaggghhh!! help!!!) and I live near Epsom, Surrey which is just south of London in England! I was born and raised in Wimbledon, London (home of the tennis championships) and have a brother Paul (married/lives in Australia) and sister Debra (single/lives in London). I am single, though in a serious relationship with a very exotic beautiful half-Balinese 'Tia Carrera' lookalike called Linda! YUM!! I still don't know how I got her!!?!?! My fave bands include The Doobies (of course!), Chicago, KISS, REO Speedwagon, Steely Dan, Ambrosia, Queen, Alice Cooper, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Thin Lizzy, Atlanta Rhythm Section House Of Lords... I like most forms of music except hardcore dance/rap... I'm a semi-pro bass player in the evenings and I work in Music Copyright Royalties for PRS in the daytime. PRS is the UK equivalent of your ASCAP BMI. I play bass, as Gene Simmons, in the UK KISS Tribute Band 'Dressed To Kill' (see http://www.kissinuk.com/tribdtk.htm) which has enabled me to travel the world playing and firebreathing (!!!) at Fan Conventions and our own shows in Japan, France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Sweden Norway. I was also lucky enough to have a CD released with a band called 'Mystic Game' which I also toured Romania Poland with. I had always liked the songs of The Doobie Brothers but up until about 5 or 6 years ago I didn't really know who they were. I first saw them live with Foreigner at London Wembley Arena on a co-headline tour in about 95 or 96 and I was blown away by them! I immediately bought everything I could find by them and especially fell in love with the Tom Johnston period up to, and including, the classic Stampede. Tiran Porter's wonderful basslines instantly elevated him to my 'bass hero' status alongside Peter Cetera (Chicago) and Gene Simmons (KISS). The next time I saw the Doobs was at the Saratoga Convention 1999 where I had the pleasure of interviewing them all (including Tiran) and saw 3 great shows. They were all very gracious with their time and I would like to thank them ll again for their approachability. I returned about 6 weeks later for 3 shows of the Chicago/Doobie double bill (how could I miss this?!?) in Virginia Beach VA, Bristow VA Charlotte NC and had the privilege of Laurin Susie and Miles' hospitality during my stay. Most recently, I came over again for the 2000 Convention in Saratoga. Unfortunately, due to poor finances (I'm still paying off the last 3 trips!!) I won't be able to make this year's LA Convention, a shame as I'd love to meet The Skunk!!! I have met and made many good friends in the is fanclub including Laurin Susie, Miles Lumbard, Ed Contreras, Steve Wice, Marla, Marti, Doobie Dan, Doobster, Nancy, Steve Debbie, Rick Santangelo, etc etc (too many names to list but you know who you all are!!) and have had a dream come true by becoming very good friends with my bass hero... yes, the one and only Tiran Porter! I consider myself VERY priviliged and try not to take ANY of it for granted! Well, that's me... sorry it was so long...hope I haven't bored any/all of you..!
