Here are some notes from the original poster:
Taken from KBFH broadcast recording. Inspired by the huge commercial success of WHAT WERE ONCE VICES ARE NOW HABITS album, the band delivered such a powerful and tight performance throughout the states. It's a tremendous loss for them (and US!) not to release the live album from this period officially... Enjoy!
Note: This show is commonly mislabeled as coming from The Showboat (Memphis, TN), Oct. 31, 1975.
(See additional discussion below regarding this error.)
Notes from the original poster:
This is perhaps the ULTIMATE Doobies show to have in one's collection. (Not sure I agree with this statement from the original poster, but it is a great show to have on ones collectionn) In fact, many of us already have this show and can vouch for the QUALITY of both the sound and performance.
Artwork is also included.

Tom Johnston (who IS the Doobie Brothers) was NOT participating at this show. Listen to China Grove on the mp3. Pat Simmons is singing lead. Tom had personal issues and had left the tour to go home and recuperate. Michael McDonald was brought in to bolster the line up during the 75 tour of the 'Stampede'.

I have this as 10-08-75 and there is a picture of the poster for this show in the ART of ROCK book, 10-31-75 was most likely the air date

You are correct raksharoo. The date of this show was 10/8/75 at the Memphis Mid-South Coliseum. After the show they had a tour celebration party for invited guests at The Showboat. The KBFH air date of the 10/8/75 Mid-South show was 10/26/75. The Doobies played New York Madison Square Garden on 10/31/75 with Poco & The Outlaws.
Enjoy or not!
