THE TOUR
The Doobie Brothers' "Stampede Across Australia" concert tour in 1976 was a significant event in the history of the band. The Doobie Brothers are an American rock band known for their harmonious vocal arrangements and a blend of rock, pop, and soul influences. The tour was part of their promotional efforts for their 1975 album "Stampede." The album included tracks like "Take Me in Your Arms (Rock Me)," "Sweet Maxine," and "I Cheat the Hangman."
This tour marked an important step for the Doobie Brothers as they expanded their fan base beyond the United States. Touring internationally was a way for American bands to reach new audiences and grow their popularity in the mid-1970s.
The Doobie Brothers' lineup during this tour was Tom Johnston, John Hartman, Patrick Simmons, Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, Tiran Porter, Keith Knudsen, and Michael McDonald. Michael McDonald's contributions to the band's sound, including his distinctive vocals and songwriting, became more prominent during this era.
The tour featured performances of songs from "Stampede" as well as hits from their previous albums, such as "Listen to the Music," "China Grove," and "Black Water." These songs became staples of the Doobie Brothers' live shows.
Following this tour, the Doobie Brothers continued to evolve their sound, with Michael McDonald taking on a more central role as the lead vocalist. This shift would lead to a change in their musical direction and the release of albums like "Takin' It to the Streets" and "Minute by Minute."
The Doobie Brothers' "Stampede Across Australia 1976 Concert Tour" was a pivotal moment in the band's history, contributing to their global recognition and cementing their status as one of the prominent rock acts of the 1970s.
The support band, Pantha, were a short lived Australian pop rock band formed in 1975. The group released one studio album which peaked at number 43 on the Australian charts in 1975.
