Superb!.......2007-05-13
This double CD set is one of the best greatest hits compilations I've heard in a long time. If you want Doobies to listen to and don't know what CD to throw on, get this one. You have all the hits and more right here. A must for any Doobies fan!!!!!!!!!!!
Great Collection!.......2007-04-25
Since I moved abroad and needed to rebuild my cd collection, the Doobies were a big gap. This collection goes a long way to filling that gap. My iPod has been set to play this almost continually the last week. It captures the variety of styles that the Doobies encompassed, from the California folk rock beginnings to the jazzier, rockier Michael MacDonald era.
All the hits, not enough of the misses.......2007-03-19
Without saying so, what this 2-CD set includes is every Billboard chart single the Doobie Brothers ever notched - something no other album (except their boxed set) can boast. That means that 'Very Best Of' collects songs like 'Eyes Of Silver' (#52, 1974), 'I Cheat The Hangman' (#60, 1975), and 'Wheels Of Fortune' (#87, 1976) that were never included on similar previous collections. It even picks up 'Wynken Blynken and Nod' (#76, 1981) from the Sesame Street LP 'In Harmony.' And, two key non-hits ('Rockin' Down The Highway' and 'South City Midnight Lady') get tossed in, plus some stuff from the group's latter day albums.
What you don't get are enough of the Doobies' great album tracks like 'Spirit' (1974) or 'Nothin' But A Heartache' (1977). For those, you'll need to upgrade to the boxed set - which nevertheless omits 'Without You,' a perennial favorite previously included on 'Best Of The Doobies' and 'Greatest Hits.' Go figure....
Listen to all of the music.......2007-03-18
The Doobie Brothers started out life as a greasy California biker band and took their name after a fondness for getting high. That ethic led to big riff rockers like "China Grove" and "Long Train Runnin'," but was lacking in the eventual slick sophistication of Michael McDonald's urbane soul. The original 1976 "Best Of The Doobies" included songs up to "Taking It To The Street," which meant that the number one "What A Fool Believes" was after the cut off date. This time The Doobie Brothers recognize the debut album a year before "Toulouse Street" by including one song, the acoustically flavored "Nobody."
Once McDonald joined, the band entered a second era and began to move more towards urban soul and Steely Dan jazz. Tom Johnston split after "Living On The Faultline" over the Doobies' new direction with Jeff Baxter and McDonald, and the resulting "Minute By Minute" bore little resemblance to the mellow hippy-vibes of "Rocking Down The Highway."
What this CD does is successfully chronicle both Johnston's biker bar band and McDonald's more soul dominated period. When the Doobies broke up after "One Step Closer," it put the band on ice until a 1989 Doobie Brothers reunion that yielded "Cycles" and a hit in "The Doctor." The band soldiered on minus McDonald, which meant that Johnston and Patrick Simmons were able to regain the steering wheel and make bar-band riff-rock once more. (Even if - IMHO - "Cycles" was pedestrian and "Brotherhood" worse, but "Sibling Rivalry" is OK.)
For my money, this double CD rates a full star over the 1976 set by virtue of the extra songs post "Taking It To The Streets" and remastered sound. But then again, I totally lost interest in the band when they started churning out factory made classic rock like "The Doctor." You will also get a few essential songs dropped from both single disc sets, like "Eyes Of Silver" and "Another Park Another Sunday" (the original A-Side of "Black Water"), and the two-disc set recognizes once again that "South City Midnight Lady" is one of the band's best. Short of the Rhino box-set, this is a solid representation of the Doobies.
Doobies at their best.......2007-03-09
The Doobie Brothers are one of my Favorite groups of all time and if your a fan like me. you have to get this 2 Disc set it is absolutely worth the price tag. I already own the Doobies greatist hits but decided to purchase this set as a collectors edition. you get remastered sound plus all thier hits!!go get it you wont regret it!!!

"Very Best" depends on your music taste........2005-07-19
Describing this album as the very best is a little bit misleading. The hits are here and so too a lot of other songs spanning the Doobies career pre-early 1990's. I personally found the Doobies to be at their best on the album "The Captain and Me" (see my review), and I don't rate the post-Tom Johnston era Dobbies as terribly exciting. There is a good mix of songs from both era's here which is why I only gave the album three stars. But for those wishing to sample the Doobies collection this is a reasonable start. Personally I think the album "The Captain and Me" and any of the "Best of" albums are all the casual Doobies fan needs.
Great Collection of Great Hits.......2004-02-10
I liked this Best of the Doobies collection even more than the American collection Doobie Brothers Greatest Hits. Most of the classic hits by both Tom Johnston and Michael McDonald are here in a single disc: China Grove, Long Train Runnin', Listen to the Music, Jesus is Just Alright, South City Midnight Lady, Take Me in Your Arms, Without You, Takin' It to the Streets, Minute by Minute, What a Fool Believes, Real Love, Little Darlin' I Need You. Even though this album does not contain the hits "The Doctor," "Dangerous," and "Dependin' on You," it is still a great collection. I liked this disc because it contained the full version of "Jesus is Just Alright" (the Greatest Hits collection has the shortened version). Also, another additional feature is the remix of "Long Train Runnin'", which sounds even better than the original version. Highly Recommended!
Best Single CD Collection Available.......2001-01-19
This compilation takes all the tracks from the U.S Best of Volume one plus the cream of Best of Volume 2 (6 tracks), and also adds a dance re-mix of Long Train that was a massive Eurodisco hit (who woulda thunk it?) and puts it all in an attractive package with excellent remastered sound and even some historical notes. An excellent one-cd sampling and typical of non-US releases by filling up the CD.
A not so great of an import CD collection of the Doobies!.......2000-03-15
This isn't much of a compilation for my taste anyway. Don't get me wrong great tunes on here. But I think The Best Of The Doobie Brothers is a much better music overview summination highlighted by all their original studio album recordings instead!
