Chicago and the Doobie Brothers Reviews

Kevin from Denver, Colorado

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.

DOOBIES GREAT CHICAGO SOSO

The first time I saw these two together was in 1974 at Roosevelt stadium in Jersey City. That was amazing. Since I've seen Chicago in Phoenix and that show was also amazing. But I have to be fair. The show last night was not amazing. To me they changed the format of their songs and although the horns make every song great, outside of that it was a mess. The new guy wasn't up to the standards Chicago has always kept. He was pitchy at best and sqeeky sounding. They could've did a better job in a replacement. I also do not understand why they changed the arrangement of some of their iconic songs???? The acoustic arrangement would have worked with someone that could keep a tune. Again as usual the horns were the show with the drums. I have to give the night to the Dubbie Bros. I have forgotten how great they are. They only played for 1 hr 10 min and I wanted another 2 hrs. They are a great band a great sounding band that will go on as long as time will allow. It was well worth the money.

THE DOOBIE BROTHERS SHOULD HAVE HEADLINED

Overall the show was great, but I only gave 3 stars because Chicago didn't earn any. Bottom line here,....The Doobie Brothers ROCKED a packed FORUM and Chicago put everyone to sleep. When the Doobie's were on stage, everyone was out of thier seats. When Chicago came out, everyone was sitting and there was simpley no energy. Chicago, although very polished, were not attacking thier instruments. It technically sounded great, but there was somthing missing. Horn players were wearing blazers and ties with the exception of the super high energy trombone player who was killing it. The first 10 minutes of Chicago was the deathnail. They spent so much time trumpeting in thier arrival, they were not aware that the put the audience to sleep at the same time.
