Doobie Brothers - Long Train Runnin' (From "Live At The Greek Theatre 1982" DVD & CD)

Recorded at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley, California in 1982, this concert was the last date on "Farewell Tour". It was an emotional night and would be the last gig for 5 years. The set contained all their best loved hits and they were joined by founder member Tom Johnston for the last two tracks, with former members John Hartman (also from the original line-up), Tiran Porter and Michael Hossack coming on stage for the celebratory finale of "Listen To The Music". The band are in fantastic form and rise to the occasion magnificently, they can rarely have delivered a better performance throughout their distinguished career. An album called "Farewell Tour" was released by Warners in 1983 but this featured tracks recorded at several different concerts across the tour. This is the first time the audio of their actual final concert has been available.

On CD format, four additional tracks from the concert have also been reinstated as bonus tracks. On the DVD format, the Bonus Features offer five tracks from the concert that were cut from the original 1982 film: "Little Darling (I Need You)", "One Step Closer", "Dependin' On You", "Real Love" and "No Stoppin' Us Now" plus interviews with the band members and manager.

Down around the corner half a mile from here
see them long trains run and you watch them dissapear

without love where would you be now
without love

though i saw miss lucy down along the track
she lost her home and her family and she won t be coming back

without love where would you be now
without love

well the Illinois Central and the Southern Central Freight
you got to keep on pushing mamma you know they're running late

without love where would you be now
without love

well the Illinois Central and the Southern Central Freight
you got to keep on pushing mamma you know they're running late

without love where would you be now
without love

when the pistons keep on turning andt he wheels go round and round
and the steel rails are cold and hard and the moutains they go down

without love where would you be now
without love

RIP .... Cornelius Bumpus. You killed this performance brother

[warrensegura]

Once upon a time there was real music played by real musicians

[nickwride]

REAL musicians, playing REAL musical instruments, making REAL music.

[yuvarajn]

When are we going to see real music played by real talented musicians like this again...!

[leonardoluc]

All bands can go home and retire as they never close as this the absolute diamond.

[jackieguccione]

Im 65 rock geek but i NEVER KNEW this was an African American singing LEARN something new every day of your life no matter how OLD they WE'RE good but one of my favorite groups

[greenzombie]

Pat's guitar solo starting at 2:45 changed my life. melodic!

[nml]

Amazing how the Doobies kept on rocking no matter who was oe was not in the band.

[michael]

The original recording is epic... but this live version bows it out of the water... very rare indeed... wow!

[jgra]

keyboard & vocalist = Cornelius Bumpus was a great man. He also played saxophone and later in his life lived in Morris County NJ. He gave sax lessons in Summit, NJ at a small music shop and I was fortunate enough to have him as my teacher. He was a really a cool guy and may he rest in peace... or maybe with a little rock n roll in heaven!

[garyclark]

I saw them live twice 1972 and again in 75. Still ranks as 2 of the best shows I've ever seen. Nobody rocked harder or better than these guys. Nothing today even comes close!!!

[murrayadam]

Love these guys! Pat Simmons really nails his guitar solo...its perfect! There isn't a weak link in this great band. Rock on forever Doobie Brothers!

[overtimefreak]

Best version ever of this song....the keyboarder is magic

[reinecke]

Cornelius Bumpus - that man had music running through his veins. He played sax for Steely Dan too.

[darlalong]

WITHOUT LOVE
..WHERE ARE .. "WE"...Right Now??? 🤟

[angelinasuazo]

Can I say that Patrick sure did alot of moving around on the stage here!
And at the end, the sporty way he took a running leap!

[carlosmondaca]

Cornelius Bumpus, excellent and different voice, he sings as if he were in his living room, calm, strong and clear, like the best rocker

[Roundhousewilliam]

Wot a
I never get fed up of listening to the Doobies. A REAL class act!!....in any incarnation!

[angelinasuazo]

Every time I see this video, I have got to smile, and wonder what Patrick Simmons was doing during this time in his life?!
Look at how energetic and spunky he was in this!
Almost randy in his behavior.
I am intrigued.
Frisky!
💜

[jerrygrasselsr]

The Doobie Brothers are one of the best bands ever.
