[edit] Personnel

The Doobie Brothers:

Patrick Simmons - guitar, vocals
Tom Johnston - guitar, vocals
Tiran Porter - bass, vocals
John (Little John) Hartman - drums
Michael Hossack - drums

Note: New 2nd drummer Keith Knudsen replaced Hossack during the recording of VICES. Hossack was thus credited as a guest musician even though he had played drums throughout the album. The band is seen from the back on the front and back covers of the album, so it's hard to tell which drummer is with them, but it is in fact Knudsen. Knudsen's only actual contribution to the album was to sing backing vocals.
