The Doobie Brothers: Live From The Beacon Theatre Blu-ray Jun 28th

[elmer]

I'm guessing that this is the project that Foraging Rhino is talking about that is ahead of the Doobies Quadio Box.

I'm still optimistic, hopefully it's just a timing issue, and besides we don't have a choice.

Are there any other original band members on these recordings outside of Tom Johnston and Patrick Simmons? I’m not making a judgment; I’m just asking.

Any info yet on the audio specs in this set?

The stand alone BD~V is certainly cheap enough but wonder if it will be an ambience in the rears only concert. I'd rather have the originals in BD~A when the original members were in their prime.

John McFee replaced Skunk Baxter in 1978 and has been with band ever since. Also on the recording is keyboardist Bill Payne - who is a founding member of Little Feat

I pre ordered on May 8th.

Thanks. McFee is a well respected musician whose tenure with the Doobies goes back 41 years and Payne is, in my estimation, one of the greatest rock keyboardists ever. The answer to my question, still, is a simple "none."

Ya gonna have to wait to hear some samples of this set before I buy this one cuz musically it could be excellent.... And then again it could be pretty terrible.

My apologies for providing information you didn't request

No apologies from you are necessary or otherwise indicated. I’m sorry that my tone came off the way it did(though, in retrospect, I don’t see how it could’ve been read any other way).

I’m happy to hear that McFee and Payne are such solid, long time band members. I’m just hoping that some of the other original members did at least a cameo on the live recording. I would also be thrilled to hear that Michael McDonald was in on it. I really do want to have reasons to purchase this release.

No worries - I have no real personal investment in this particular release. I like the Doobies well enough and own enough of their music in both surround and stereo to be interested on a surface level. I only started this thread to provide other members with the information of its pending release and status as the probable delay for the upcoming quadio set. Thanks for the clarification though!

Ever hear of Time Travel, Pupster?

Most recent thing I have is the 2013 Live at Wolftrap BD and they sound pretty good to me. But yeah, I'd really like the originals on BD if affordable.

There are many, many people who would rather have a recent concert in HD than a classic one with some graininess to it. I'm not one of those people myself, but I understand why they would favor a release like this.
