Let the Music Play documentary film is the authorised story of The Doobie Brothers, from their beginnings as a biker band in California in 1970, to their breakthrough with ‘Listen to the Music’ in 1972, their line-up changes in the mid-seventies, and their change of musical direction and further success with Michael McDonald in 1976.
Worn out by non-stop touring and internal disagreements, the band broke up after a ‘farewell’ concert in 1982. There was sporadic reunions in the 80s before the band reformed permanently in the early 90s, and have continued touring and recording ever since. The new film features contributions from all the surviving key band members, their manager Bruce Cohn and long term producer Ted Templeman, to tell the full story of the band's highs and lows through four decades of musical evolution.
