A Magical Night at Red Rocks

It was a rainy, chilly evening in the Rocky Mountains. We settled into our seats, perched high above the stage below. We were at the world famous Red Rock Amphitheater which is located near Denver, CO. If there is a venue anywhere in the world that combines acoustics, nature and design better than this place, I would very much like to see it. Even in our seats the music was powerful, and natural. In fact, I remember closing my eyes and it seemed like the band was right in front of my face. 

Even though this version of the Doobie Brothers was missing Tom Johnston they delivered a high-energy set that resulted in the best concert I have ever seen. Michael McDonald was in great form, vocally, as well as playing his Rhodes and the rest of the band was in fine form as well. We, as fans, kept pushing the energy higher as they worked through their set of hits. Here is the set list for that night:

I Cheat the Hangman

Take Me In Your Arms

Depending' On You

Minute by Minute

Keep This Train A-Rollin'

Real Love

No Stoppin' Us Now

Neal's Fandango

Sweet Maxine

Little Darling

Jesus Is Just Alright

Long Train Runnin' 

Takin' It To The Streets

China Gove

What A Fool Believes

Listen To The Music

And someone please explain to me how this band is not in the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame?
