Now here’s a seventies-rock match-up made in heaven.
My nephew Jeff just texted me from Kelowna where he saw Paul Rodgers perform two songs with the Doobie Brothers at their Prospera Place show tonight.
The legendary rocker of Free and Bad Company fame has a home in the Okanagan, so since he was nearby he joined the Doobies onstage for a version of Free’s 1970 riff-rock classic “All Right Now”.
Then he followed it up by crooning some background vocals on the Michael McDonald-sung title track of the Doobies’ 1976 album, Takin’ It to the Streets.
It wasn’t Rodgers’ first performance with the Doobies, however. Back in April of 2006, shortly after he’d performed in Vancouver with Queen, he played a couple of songs with them at Richmond’s River Rock Casino.

Dam. I was at that concert and left before he played. I thought the show was over. They did their encore. No one said he was going on
