(Festblog 2012) Here’s the lowdown on Dukes of September Rhythm Revue.
Boz Scaggs, Michael McDonald and Donald Fagen have got a really good thing going. And that’s a really good thing for fans of the poppy, jazzy, bluesy, soulful hybrid styles of the Doobie Brothers, Steely Dan and Boz Scaggs that hooked us in the 1970s and stayed under our skin for 40 years.
The supergroup put on a fabulous 2-hour concert for 4,396 people at Musikfest’s Sands Steel Stage Wednesday night that felt a little like the big band revues of really olden days, but with music of a classic rock generation and a little less showmanship.
A terrific 9 piece-band with two female singers backed the trio, helping to bring some of the biggest hits of the 1970s to life – Boz Scaggs’ “Lowdown,” the Doobies’ “What a Fool Believes” and “Takin’ it to the Streets,” Steely Dan’s “Kid Charlemagne” and “Hey 19.”
The DOS will be performing LIVE @ The Interlochen Center for the Arts Saturday Aug 18th.
