“For classic Doobie fans, this album is possibly their most versatile album ever. Timeless works like "China Grove" and "Long Train Runnin" are just two of the great rock and roll songs worth hearing again and again. The variety and changing styles illustrate the talent inherent in the group. From the acoustic guitar on "South City Midnight Lady", one of the ten best songs of the 70's, to the hard rocking "Without You" demonstrate the extremes their music has taken. Much of this is due to the wonderful song-writing of Tom Johnson and Pat Simmons along with great performances by Drummer John Hartman and Bassist Tiran Porter. The album, beginning with "Natural Thing", "Long Train Runnin" and "China Grove" slowly ramps their rock energies up to a fiery conclusion and, to-the-ear, fits together as one piece. My favorite however, is "Ukiah" featuring Bill Payne of Little Feat on piano, Margouleff and Cecil (of Stevie Wonder fame) on synthesizer and Steely Dan's Jeff Baxter. This well may be the best album ever done by the Doobie Brothers, beautiful in sound, very tight in production and certainly worthy of a spot in ones rock and roll collection. This DVD-Audio doesn't disappoint. ”
