Songs I Want to Play - Live | Michael McDonald Special
Minute By Minute | Sweet Freedom | What A Fool Believes

After initially being involved with the Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan (to name but two) he later blossomed into one of LA’s "go to” session vocalists, for power ballads, soul, R&B, and pop - as well as developing an incredible solo career filled with hit records.
Here we are performing a selection of his most celebrated tracks in our Live Show at the New Adelphi Theatre, Salford in November 2022.

Wow ' great copy " Bravo"
Doesn't get any better. Fabulous, band and singer. More please. Mal
Excellent guitar too.
Great work covering such Pages. Impressive Ole.
I’m very impressed
congrats guys i like it
cool nice band
This group is the Best! Singer and musician is fabulous
Soooooooo Nice Groooooooooove!!!
Excellent version ! Solid arrangement ! (may I suggest that, in the verses, be played D7b5b9 and not Dm7b5... as in the original recording...)
Wow wow wow wow. Maravilloso cover!!!! ❤❤❤
What a nice voice!!! I like Jill and Angie, but those young ladies take "Soul" to another level. I can't take this performance out of my mind!! Good job!!!
Very well executed cover of a classic composition.
Ole Borud is DA MAN!
Pretty good, A bunch of overdubs in disguise. I'll take it -
This is really good....
Songs I want to play too, but I cannot play this good! This is soo high level! Unbelievable!
How the heck did I just find out you guys existed?!?!? Every single one of your covers are somehow relevant to my tastes, specific tracks I've spent years listening to. Thank you so much for your work.
sorry… zero energy on stage just put back vocal in the middle to be lead vocal…… that would be good start……
excellent cover!!!
Mostruosi.....💖
Yes, yes, yes……..fantastica cover!!! Bravissimi tutti, ma il lavoro del bassista è superbo!!!
Great work
It’s strange to see Pages remembered, especially with such enthusiasm as this. Most people only know Richard for his “Mr. Mister” stuff. There was a whole world of incredible songs, arranging, performing artists and producing before that, though. I was a huge Graydon follower in the 70’s and this stuff came up when I stumbled across a promo EP simply labeled “Pages” (which I still have,……somewhere) . Man, I played the s#!t out of that EP and eventually realized that all of my heroes were playing on the tracks. So, now I’m inspired to go dig it up. Wish me luck. Nice work, Ole & Co.
impressive job on an ambitious song. I cover it as well alone at 71 years old, check it out at 1mikera and tell me what you think
クセがスゴイVer. 最高🎉
Suddenly, not my sort of music, is my sort, on listening to this video. The whole package is sheer genius!
Awesome job on my favorite Gino song! I'm very impressed and I think Gino would love it!!!!
What can I say you guys nailed a Gino Vannelli classic. Great job!
I discovered this cover during that pandemic... And this is just pure treasure to listen to. A jem. .😊
Redescubriendo al gran Gino. Absolutamente mi favorito de los 70s.
Bellísima versión. Magnífico vocalista.
Great job on this unique classic by the great GV!!!
Bellísima versión❤
Beautyfull
Оле Боруд невероятный музыкант, талантище❤🤩🤩🤩🤗👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏 4:18 переход класс💃🎙🎶

🎉🎉❤💞🎵🎶💎👏👏👏 wow! That s the way ! Greetings from Uruguay South America 🇺🇾🇺🇾

Really cool.
Great performance, nice horn arrangement
Sweet. No diss but I still like Patti Austin's vocals.
Well done cover, for sure. But the subject line is misleading - I expected this to be Gino.
Marvelois❤
Wow, absolutely fantastic!!!
Good!
Magnifico!
❤❤❤Awesome
WHAT A VOICE! What a Band.
