Free Trade Hall
16th January 1975

A great poster for the Doobie Brothers, Graham Central Sation and Bonaroo. There is a ticket uploaded for this gig too...

Says photgrapher Kevin Cummins;

"The Doobie Brothers gig was part of a package tour to promote Warner Brothers acts. Little Feat headlined the other night.
Towards the end of a great Doobie's gig, Elton John came onstage and jammed on the piano and sang with them for around 30 mins or so. These were the days when he was cool. Everyone went home convinced that this was a seminal piece of Manchester gig history, arguably second only to Dylan at the same venue ten years earlier, and that everyone would be talking about it for the rest of their lives."

Danny Hardman remembers;

"My wife and I made it to that concert; it was brilliant! Between the acts they showed cartoons on a drop-down screen, much to the appreciation of the audience, funny as it sounds there was uproar when the cartoons finished but we soon settled down when the Doobie’s came on. I remember Skunk Baxter and Elton John having a ball when he joined them on stage for the encore, that seemed to go on for ever."
