Description
Digitally remastered edition of this 1996 live album from the classic rock band. Rockin' Down the Highway: The Wildlife Concert is the second double live album by American rock band The Doobie Brothers, released in 1996. The concerts were performed to benefit the Wildlife Conservation Society, hence the album's title. The album marked the first appearance on a Doobie Brothers album of guitarist John McFee and drummer Keith Knudsen since rejoining the group in 1993 after an eleven year absence. Two other former members also appeared - keyboardist/singer/songwriter Michael McDonald performed on three tracks he had written and sung during his time with the group while saxophonist/keyboardist Cornelius Bumpus, who had been a member in the early 1980s, featured as a sidesman. Two tracks had not previously appeared on the group's albums. 'Slow Burn' was a new track while 'Wild Ride' had been on Patrick Simmons' solo album Take Me to the Highway released the same year.

I didn't chart in 1996, so I'm guessing not well, but it had been years since they released anything.

All I remember is it had 2 new songs and I believe Michael McDonald is on it too.

you are correct on both counts.

and thanks for the info, i kind of figured so, as i remember there were quite a few them doing the used bin rounds.

i do believe that things get re-released with no forethought in mind whatsoever, their first live album: 'farewell tour", which, if i'm not mistaken, has never been released in the U.S. would have been a much more logical choice, wouldn't it?

The Farewell Tour Album did get a brief release in 2011 as mentioned above, but wasn't remastered and is now part of the Complete Albums box and sounds very good (can't recall if that box has remastering from japan or not, but I believe it does).

That album is one of the "cleanest" sounding live albums ever, but I've always liked it.
