Why see Chicago and the Doobie Brothers?
The veteran rocks once again team up in concert!

Agree Doobies should have headlined
The Doobies came out rocking and pretty much stole the show. Most play multiple
instruments at a virtuoso level. 3 can play lead guitar and do. Lead singer changes
throughout a song and they may be better musicians than they used to be.
Chicago was also very good, but should have opened stronger with a few upbeat hits
and closed strong also. We left before the last song as this concert was pretty tiring and
one of our party over-served herself. ... Read more

Doobie Brothers Chicago Boston, MA
Once again, the Doobie Brothers rocked the place from start to finish, I wish they could
have played longer. Chicago, is very good, but a few slow moments during their long set
quieted the crowd down. The new lead singer / bass player was good, but tried to hard
to sound like the previous members. Left before last song "25 or 6 to 4"
I was disappointed that the two bands did not finish the night sharing the stage, as they
have in the past. I'm sure I'll be back to see them next year, regardless of the billing. ... Read more

Chicago and Doobies blow the roof off!!
What a thrill to see two of the greatest rock bands of all time. The
Doobies song selection was spot on (even though only one Michael
McDonald era song was in the set), and displayed incredible
musicianship. Pat and Tommy still sound great. Their voices have
held up well over the years. McFee may have been the most
versatile guy on the stage, playing guitar, harp, violin and vocals.
Wow!! is all I can say!!
Chicago clearly had a tough act to follow, but were up to the task,
delving deep into their catalog, playing several songs that may not
have been familiar to the casual fan (e.g. Introduction, Wake Up
Sunshine, I'm a Man, and the entire "Ballet for a Girl From
Buchanan" multi-movement piece), but were thrilling to the ardent
fan's ears. The bands complement each other very well, and it was
clear the audience was thrilled with both performances.
The PNC Charlotte venue was great. Get there early, as traffic is not
managed as well as PNC/Raleigh. ... Read more
