Doobie Brothers Rocker, 76, Gives Fans Exclusive Glimpse Backstage on Tour
The iconic 70s rock band The Doobie Brothers are currently on tour - and founding guitarist Patrick Simmons gave fans an exclusive glimpse backstage at their latest stop, the Co-Op Live in Manchester, England. The band played the venue on July 15, and that day, they took to their Instagram stories to share a video of Simmons, 76, walking around backstage before posing with a drawn version of himself featured on a poster for this particular show on the band's current tour, titled the "Walk the Road" tour. In the video, Simmons - who plays guitar and banjo, as well as providing vocals, for the group - can be seen smiling and making silly faces as he poses for what appears to be some photos. He even took his round glasses off for some shots to better match his drawn counterpart, who features on the poster without spectacles like Simmons sometimes wears. The Doobie Brothers are currently on tour in Europe, traversing the United Kingdom and Ireland for another week before bringing the tour back home stateside for August and most of September. Their next gig will take place in Birmingham, England at the PB Pulse Live Arena on July 17 and their last scheduled date on their website is at the Budweiser Stage in Toronto, Canada on September 18. The band was formed in San Jose, California in 1970 with an original lineup of Tom Johnston, Patrick Simmons, John Hartman, and Dave Shogren. In 1975, Michael McDonald joined the group to sub in for Johnston while he was dealing with health issues - but McDonald, 73, ended up being a key component who would stick with the band until 1982. He returned to the band in 2019 and is playing on the tour alongside Simmons, Johnston, 76, and John McFee. The band released their latest album, Walk the Road, early last month.

They'll be joined by Margo Price, Billy Strings, Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats, Trampled By Turtles, Waxahatchee and more. You can grab single-day Farm Aid 2025 passes here. Neil Young set list According to Set List FM, here's what Young performed at Forest Hills Stadium at the concert The Post attended in May 2024: 01.) 'Cortez the Killer' 02.) 'Cinnamon Girl' 03.) 'Scattered (Let's Think About Livin')' 04.) 'Like a Hurricane' 05.) 'Don't Cry No Tears' 06.) 'Vampire Blues' 07.) 'The Losing End (When You're On)' 08.) 'Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere' 09.) 'Powderfinger' 10.) 'Love and Only Love' 11.) 'Comes a Time' 12.) 'Heart of Gold' 13.) 'Human Highway' 14.) 'Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black)' Encore 15.) 'Sedan Delivery' 16.) 'Rockin' in the Free World' Neil Young new music On June 13, Young and the Chrome Hearts dropped 'Talkin to the Trees.' The record, The Godfather of Grunge's 48th (!), clocks in just shy of 38 minutes and finds the versatile Canadian virtuoso returning to his folksy-country roots. Things get underway with the deceptively simple yet exceedingly heartfelt 'Family Life.' From there, the 79-year-old turns on the aux and busts out the garage rock 'Dark Mirage,' so sweet it'll make you cry 'First Fire of Winter' and plodding, harmonica-heavy 'Silver Eagle.' Highlights on the back half include the melty, drowned-out bass-y 'big change' which Young warbles in a flat yet haunting affect, syrupy title track 'Talkin' To The Trees' and bluesy barroom crowd pleaser 'Movin Ahead.' Young and the Chrome Hearts close with the dreamy 'Thankful.' The vulnerable tune is almost a reimagining of the classic 'Harvest Moon' with its similar chord progressions but is honestly so beautiful it stands on its own. To hear for yourself, you can find 'Talkin to the Trees' here. Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts members Curious who will be doing what onstage? Wonder no longer. Here's what the band will look like when you see Neil and co. live in '25: Neil Young (lead vocals, guitar, harmonica, piano, vibraphone) Anthony LoGerfo (drums) Corey McCormick (bass, background vocals) Micah Nelson (guitar, background vocals) Spooner Oldham (keyboards, organ) Classic rockers on tour in 2025 Young isn't the only star who took the world by storm in the '60s and '70s (and '80s and '90s!) performing live this year.
