I’ve seen the DB’s a number of times in concert and I have the DVD Live at Wolf Trap and you are hard pressed to find better guitar players both on acoustic and electric than Pat,Tom,And John.The Hawaiin slat key duo of Pat and John, one of the many great tracks not only on the CD but the DVD.Also Tom’s acoustic playing is a big reason why The Doobies are my favorite group and have been down through the dating back to the beginning.Should be in the Rock HOF.
