The Doobie Brothers Tickets

This was my very first time to hear them in concert. They did not disappoint and sounded as good as when they first started 50 yrs ago. The venue was awesome. The band performed at the highest level even without Tom Johnston. They honestly didn't miss a beat. The vocals were tight and on cue! It was disappointing Johnston was out due to a back issue and he was missed, but the band still sounded awesome !

This was my 8th Doobies concert. There is no question about their abilities and showmanship - they are my favorite band. The sound system and acoustics were atrocious. Several songs that I’ve listened to for 50 years were unrecognizable until the chorus. I was very disappointed.

We were disappointed in the May 26, 2023 Doobies Bros show at Mahaffey in St. Petersburg, FL. We have seen the Doobies many times and are big fans, but this show was not that great. We learned during the show that Tommy Johnston would not be with the band this time. He is a founding member and his vocal and guitar are very important. There was an obvious and ineffectual effort by the other guys to cover his parts - which didn't work. Then, the sound was simply awful. I know Mahaffey is not a particularly good sounding room, but the sound for this high-priced show was unacceptable given modern technology. All in all - quite disappointed for high-priced and touted 50-year reunion show.

So sad that Tom Johnston was unable to perform. Hope he gets better quickly. Fortunately the person sitting next to me mentioned this fact prior to the show starting. A public announcement should have been made prior to the show's start by the promoter but was not. What, did they think no one would notice??? God Bless you Tom and hope you get well quickly! We really missed you! Pat, John, Michael, and the rest of the band did a great job and the show was good.

For the second time in three rock shows at Mahaffey Theater, great on-stage performances by super-talented and energetic stars and a great set list were diminished by a poor sound mix. In our excellent seats, we could see clearly our beloved band, but could not hear or understand vocals or lead guitar solos; instead, all we could hear was the bass line…..so disappointing. Many around us raised the same observation, just as they did at a prior Elvis Costello show. We kept hoping that the mix would improve, but it never did. Too bad….that may be it for us for shows at the Mahaffey in St. Pete.

What an amazing show!! My husband and I loved it and the musicality was truly awsome! Great job Doobie Brothers!!!!

Would go see them again. But Tommy Johnson is what i went to hear.

The legendary RnR Hall of Fame DOOBIE BROTHERS is on their 50th Anniversary Tour. The band made a stop at the Duke Energy Mahaffey Theater, May 26th and had fans from GenX to Baby Boomers on their feet all night long. Although founding member Tommy Johnston, the heart, soul and voice was not in the line up due recent back surgery, the veteran band was rejoined with Michael McDonald. Co-founding member Patrick Simmons along with long time band members John McFee, and John Cowan stepped up to the plate filling in for their missing commrade. The 2-hour playlist was chocked-full of Doobie Brother hits that kept their fans out of their seats and a lengthy encore leaving us rockin' down the highway!!!

The Doobies ALWAYS impress. They bring warmth and energy and to my knowledge played EVERY major hit. Only disappointment was when they first came out one important member was missing. Where was Tommy Johnston??? So I hit Google, and turns out Tommy J is having back surgery. Boo hoo. I gotta admit, I missed his presence. I missed his vocals. The band was still amazing and probably over 50% of the attendees never knew the difference. Pat Simmons also explained Tommy's absence later in the show. Overall it was a great night! I hope they never retire!
