Once dismissed as pop rockers with a gimmicky name, over their 51-year run, the hard working Doobie Brothers advanced a deep catalog of classics, from anthemic gems like “Listen to the Music,” to the folky “Black Water” and Michael McDonald’s yacht rock masterpieces. With McDonald rejoining Simmons, Tommy Johnston and John McFee for an anniversary victory lap, the Doobies land on home turf Wednesday, following their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year, the declaration of their San Jose house as a historical site this summer and the release of their 15th studio album this month.
