JustDave's Notes:
Everything I see says this gig took place on December 30, 1978. I have found 2 newspaper or magazine adds and 1 bootleg cover that shows this date. Setlist.fm and The Concert Archive show the date as December 30, 1978. Also most sources on the net has The Doobie Brothers playing Sacramento Memorial Auditorium, Sacramento, California on December 29, 1978. I will let you decide but the evidence suggests December 30, 1978. Maybe our friend Draftervoi has some information on this one.

I have included the news paper clippings I was able to find on the net about the date of the show. Enjoy this great sounding Doobie Brothers concert!

    1. The Doobie Brothers are one of the best live bands Dave ever took me to see...ranks right up there with Chicago, Steely Dan & Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush...Loud is the best way to enjoy a good Rock show!
