Michael McDonald with Ashford & Simpson & the Doobie Brothers - PBS Soundstage, WTTW Studios, Chicago, IL, 7-1-2003

Here's a PBS Soundstage concert starring Michael McDonald from 2003. 

But it has some significant guest stars too. First off, the soul duo Ashford and Simpson take the lead on two classic songs they wrote for the Motown record label back in the 1960s, and then return to sing backing vocals on a couple more songs later in the show. 

But more significantly, McDonald was joined on stage for the entire second half of the concert by Patrick Simmons and Tom Johnston of the Doobie Brothers. Simmons and Johnston were the main creative forces in the Doobie Brothers before McDonald joined the band in 1975 and basically became the main guy in the late 1970s. Johnston only overlapped with McDonald for one album in 1976 before leaving in 1977, but Patrick Simmons never left the band. The two of them were billed at the show as "the Doobie Brothers." Even though the two of them arguably don't make up the Doobie Brothers by themselves, I'm using that in the song titles and album title because when I tried using "Patrick Simmons and Tom Johnston" instead, some of the song titles got too long, causing some problems (like not being able to put them in zip files).

Generally, the songs here focus more on hits with the Doobie Brothers than McDonald's solo material. However, there's also a Motown focus, with two more Motown covers as the last two songs. That makes sense because in June 2003, right before this concert took place, McDonald released a solo album titled "Motown," consisting entirely of covers of famous Motown songs. In 2005, he did another Soundstage episode entirely consisting of Motown covers, with more guest stars. I plan on posting that one as well.

This album is an hour and 22 minutes long.
