It's a Doobie delight as members of the veteran group's different eras convene for Rockin' Down the Highway, a 20-song concert recorded in '96 mainly in New York. The show features all three of the band's principal singer-writers: guitarist Tom Johnston, who fronted the early, hard-rocking hits like "Listen to the Music," "China Grove," and "Long Train Running" (all performed here, of course, to rapturous audience response); keyboardist Michael McDonald, who replaced Johnston in the mid-'70s and whose superb voice and blue-eyed soul influence resulted in perhaps their finest single hit, "What a Fool Believes" (included here as part of a segment recorded in Nashville); and guitarist Patrick Simmons, who provided a more folkie-acoustic influence (à la "Black Water") and spanned both the Johnston and McDonald eras. The Doobie Brothers' harmony singing is spot-on, the playing is righteous, the band rocks, there's plenty of interview material between songs (and a music-only option for those who prefer to get right to the point)... and to top it off, some of the proceeds of which go the Wildlife Conservation Society. So what's not to like? --Sam Graham

5.0 out of 5 stars a rare view of what may be the best American band ever
Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2008

The Doobie Brothers is a eclectic collection of superb musicians who get together from time to time and play the widest variety of music of any band in history - with the possible exception of the Beatles. But while the Beatles played tributes to early American rock and roll, the Doobie Brothers cover the modern era from motown to to Hawaiian, with special emphasis on outstanding saxaphone, guitar, and percussion.
This album has some of the best of the Doobies, captured in the sterile environment of a studio in New York - and there have been some criticisms of the audience and the environment, and there's no question but that there is a difference in the feel and emotion that comes from a small studio audience compared to the stadium size audience at Wolf Trap. But the music, and the talent, are top notch - and it captures the widest variety of Doobie talent, since it includes Michael McDonald.
The technology used in this mid 90's video is not up to the standards of the Wolf Trap video, and you have to make sure you have a fast DVD player to get the music synched to the video. In Wolf Trap the editor had tools that made it possible to jump cut perfectly in synch with the music - and the video cuts are done in perfect rhythm with the drums and the guitar notes - making for a visually and audibly satisfying experience that is not quite captured in this video. But any criticism of the venue or the audience in this video misses the mark - this is a rare glimpse indeed into a happy moment in American musical history when great musical talent came together with extraordinary arrangements. The Doobies play a wide variety of musical styles - with energy and enthisiasm that puts a smile on the faces in the crowd. My advice is get this DVD, also get the wolf trap video, and also get the audio cd's of each of these CD's, as well as the Best of the Doobies audio CD's so you can hear the studio versions of the live performances. The closest thing that compares to seeing the Doobie Brothers in these videos, was the moment nearly 20 years ago when Michael Jordan and Charles Barkely, playing in the NBA championship game, were caught by the TV camera, looking at one another and smiling from ear to ear, laughing really, revelling in the glory of the moment, of being at the top of their game on top of the world. This video has some of that spirit, less than the Wolf Trap video, but enough to make it worthwhile.

WOW...the Doobies probably at their best! The rendition of 'Without Love' is worth the price of admission alone in my opinion. But the whole DVD set is just great. Yes, the NY audience is a bit 'faculty lounge' at first...but it picks up and they get up and party. The section where they bring in Mike McDonald at the Nashville concert is a great insert and blends well with the main concert in NY. The in between interviews adds a lot too, telling stories and what the Doobies are all about. Like Mike McDonald says... "Once a Doobie, Always a Doobie".
The close studio set up in NY is a plus in my opinion as it really gives an up close and personal feel. Great camera work and sound. Great song line up. An awesome live performance of all their great great songs.
TALENT TALENT TALENT!
....You will not be disappointed!

The Doobies in concert is always a treat. Tight vocals, musicianship at its best, multiple guitars, double drums and percussion, and a double DVD offering to boot !

I bought this DVD a couple years ago and have really enjoyed playing it over and over. Shortly after, I picked up their latest CD World Gone Crazy which was fantastic to say the least.

You can always expect the unexpected from the Doobies during a live concert performance. The signature sound, the mystical lyrics, are typical vintage Doobies.

So much diversity, a representation of so many musical styles. Blues, Jazz, rock and roll. The Doobies ruled the airwaves back in the 70's and have returned full force recently with their World Gone Crazy CD. Let's hope they keep rockin' down the highway.

This concert DVD is a must for Dobbie Brother fans.

This video serves to remind you once again how incredibly talented these guys were and what great musicians they were. A very tight playing band, great vocals. Their sheer talent shines through. This concert will not dissapoint you. Quality was pretty good and the sound was great. If I had to say one negative thing it would be that the first half of this was a compilation of songs that I personally was not really familiar with but then the second half is all the much loved favourites. It might have been better if they had mixed it up a little. Other than that, use your song selection list and pick your fav's.

The three songs performed with Michael McDonald were wonderful to hear and to see them together (he made a point twice to say, "The Doobie Brothers" pointing to the band, almost as if to exclude himself from them). Tom Johnston's energy and enthusiasm was contagious (although sometimes over the top). They did all the hits and a few lesser songs, "Without You" a particular highlight. The editing leaves a little to be desired because every 2 or 3 songs the video would pause and then jump to the next song (a little annoying), not very smooth splicing of the video.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tremendous video, with one very minor niggle
Reviewed in Australia on May 23, 2020

The very minor niggle is the abrupt mid-video switch to a three-song set recorded in Nashville featuring Michael McDonald in the middle of a concert filmed in New York. Apart from that, if you're a Doobie Brothers fan, this video is everything you could possibly wish for. It was recorded at the "Wildlife" concert in New York (1996) before a relatively small house, and is a perfect example of the Doobies at their very best. They mostly perform songs from their early albums, interspersed with a few more recent numbers, and the result is nothing short of Doobies nirvana. Pat Simmons and Tom Johnston have lost none of their magic with the passing of years, and the reappearance of the versatile John McFee (guitar, pedal steel guitar, slide guitar, violin and vocals) after an 11-year absence from the band adds to the magic. Among the performers are the gifted Cornelius Bumpus (saxes, flute, keyboards and vocals) and Danny Hull (saxes, harmonica, congas and vocals). If you want to hear as tight a rock band as you could possibly hope to hear, these guys are it. The musicianship and vocals from all concerned are top-notch, and the guys have clearly lost none of their passion for what they do. About halfway through the video however the action detours to Nashville for a three-number set with Michael McDonald, which I felt broke up the continuity of the New York show. To be sure, McDonald is a highly talented performer, but I feel that it would have been a more immersive experience without the sudden venue shift (the video switches back to the New York venue after McDonald's set). Still, if you're a DB fan, I highly recommend this video. The McDonald segment aside (and it certainly isn't bad, just misplaced), you won't be disappointed. The camera work is excellent, and the sound quality is crisp and clear, as is the video. A must-have for Doobies fans.

I picked up the farewell show from 82 on DVD last month and was impressed but not blown away. The band was super tight and the songs sounded great but the spark was missing from some of the performances. It also focused more on the Michael MacDonald period of the band. With only one song with Tom Johnston. This recorded almost 15 years later has all the energy of a band at the beginning of their career. How the Doobie's pull that off I don't know but they do. The songs again here are tight but with a fire in them still. Great set list and excellent sound (but no DTS mix just Dolby Digital). It was shot in studio so the picture is amazing. I have not checked out the third Doobie Brother's DVD that is out yet but out of the two I own this is the one to get. The Michael MacDonald years are represented with a mini set in the middle whith MacDonald joining the band for that periods hits. I am not knocking MacDonald it just comes down to taste and I tend to favor the early years. But love tracks like Takin' It To The Streets.
If you are a fan of the Doobie's and want a DVD of them or you are like me and new to the party I think you will be happy you picked this up!

Kann mich dem Lob der vorherigen Rezensenten nur anschließen:
Ein Muss für alle Doobie-Fans! Für eine Aufnahme von 1996 ungewöhnlich brilliant - wie eben erst produziert!
+++ Brilliante Musiker, die voll bei der Sache sind. Man hat wirklich nicht das Gefühl, dass sie ihre Hits aus den 1970ern nur noch routiniert abspulen.
+++ Toller Sound mit einer hohen Auflösung der einzelnen Kanäle
++ Prima Bild
++ Interessante Interviews.
