On 27 June 2011, Eagle Rock Entertainment release Live At The Greek Theatre 1982 by the Doobie Brothers. This is a simultaneous release on DVD and CD formats [Cat No: EREDV887 and EAGCD446 respectively]. Live At The Greek Theatre 1982 features all their classics including: Listen To The Music, Rockin Down The Highway, Long Train Runnin, Black Water, Minute By Minute, What A Fool Believes, Takin It To the Streets, China Grove and many more.

Recorded at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley, California in 1982, this concert was the last date on Farewell Tour. It was an emotional night and would be the last gig for 5 years. The set contained all their best loved hits and they were joined by founder member Tom Johnston for the last two tracks, with former members John Hartman (also from the original line-up), Tiran Porter and Michael Hossack coming on stage for the celebratory finale of Listen To The Music. The band are in fantastic form and rise to the occasion magnificently, they can rarely have delivered a better performance throughout their distinguished career. An album called Farewell Tour was released by Warners in 1983 but this featured tracks recorded at several different concerts across the tour. This is the first time the audio of their actual final concert has been available.

On CD format, four additional tracks from the concert have also been reinstated as bonus tracks. On the DVD format, the Bonus Features offer five tracks from the concert that were cut from the original 1982 film: Little Darling (I Need You), One Step Closer, Dependin On You, Real Love and No Stoppin Us Now plus interviews with the band members and manager.

Live At The Greek Theatre 1982 is, simply, classic Doobie Brothers at the peak of their powers -with guest appearances by several former members. Not to be missed!

Where is Jocko? He'd love this news...while 1982 was not the peak (that was 1978/79 when Jeff Baxter was stll in the band), this looks to be very good.
