The Doobie Brothers bring an infectious groove with every song. The bass and drums are just always on, and the rhythm guitar is just icing on the cake. They're one of my guilty pleasures from the 70s era.

[@ToddSauve]

There is nothing "guilty" about it. The Doobies are one of the greatest rock bands of all time. Period.

[@bminturn]

@@ToddSauve just not something that most people in their 40s will claim. We're in the age group that was trying to kill 70s music =) Some of it was good though.

[@ToddSauve]

@@bminturn I'm 64 and I listen to rock and the blues almost every day. There is nothing as good as it. Well, there is a South Korean Gospel singer named Sohyang who is the best vocalist in the world. I listen to her every day, too. Here is a sample of how great she is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWfMeZtqrqeredE

[@thekingcobra63]

One of my favorite songs by the Doobs. Pre Michael McDonald Doobs was pretty awesome, and once McDonald came on the scene they were different and still awesome.

[@neilmccomsey9550]

Same!

[@TranslateToEnglish]

I read an article where they said that they don’t like to be called the Doobs. You must’ve missed the article.

[@chadheckman2693]

I liked the pre-McDonald songs the best.

[@RiverRat1953]

Truly a hard core biker band!

[@dr.strangelove7788]

Yeah I definitely prefer the pre-MM music

[@algallego]

Down around the corner Half a mile from here You see them long trains runnin' And you watch them disappear Without love Where would you be now? Without love You know I saw Miss Lucy Down along the tracks She lost her home and her family And she won't be coming back Without love Where would you be right now? Without love Well, the Illinois central And the Southern Central Freight Got to keep on pushin', mama You know they're runnin' late Without love Where would you be now-na-na-now? Without love Well, the Illinois Central And the Southern Central Freight Got to keep on pushin' mama 'Cause you know they're runnin' late Without love Where would you be now? Without love Well, pistons keep on churnin' And the wheels go 'round and 'round And the steel rails are cold and hard On the mountains they go down Without love Where would you be right now? Without love Ooh, where would you be now? Mmm, got to get you, baby, baby, won't you move it down? Won't you move it down? Baby, baby, baby, baby, won't you move it down? When the big train run When the train is movin' on I got to keep on movin' Keep on movin' Won't you keep on movin'? Gonna keep on movin'

[@waynethera2712]

Excellent work Thanks

[@13_13k]

A G --- thanks for the lyrics.

[@grogueQ]

Did they say anything about trains in the song?

[@JohnNewkirk1]

@@grogueQ 🤣🤣🤣

[@alanmusicman3385]

@@grogueQ I think they may have mentioned one or two or twenty things....! 😀

[@surlechapeau]

Brad & Lex, you'll love their "Jesus Is Just Alright" and "South City Midnight Lady"!!!

[@larryoneill7432]

Actually, “Jesus” is a Byrds song, but I get what you’re saying

[@debjorgo]

@@larryoneill7432 Actually it is an Art Reynolds Singers song, written by Art. The Doobie Brothers had the biggest hit with it.

[@readhistory2023]

They were my first concert back in '76. So many doobies.

[@Sandyg1961]

Same here in ‘78. Many doobies on stage and in the audience.

[@tyronesharp401]

Saw them then too.

[@ralphfiligenzi6180]

I wish I had seen the Doobies, my first concert was Bad Company (1979).

[@tyronesharp401]

@@ralphfiligenzi6180 Great way to start.

[@cindykirby8687]

My first concert too! At the Coliseum in Edmonton.

[@mvellis3863]

Tom Johnston - lead singer and guitar here. He pioneered the rhythmic guitar figure on this and other Doobie Brothers songs, still known amongst musicians as the 'Tom Johnston shuffle' - described as a 'laid-back staccato'

[@ginalolajupiter2942]

Crazy amount of talent in that band. Consistently good for decades.

[@frankpentangeli7945]

Hands down the Doobies' all time best song. What a groove!

[@persephonebonner5733]

One of my all time favorite songs. I just love the groove and musicality. So glad you checked it out!

[@grantlavine1121]

One of my favorites by them is “Another Park,Another Sunday”

[@mokumboi19]

It's always a joy to hear Lex's imitation of the lead singer's vocal quirks. :D

[@DivaInTheWoods]

I'm one of the people that love the Doobies pre and post Michael McDonald. I just saw them in July for the 50th Anniversary Tour, and they're still rockin' and groovin'! Of course, you can't perform for 50 years and not be awesome!!

[@jerryadkins5418]

This is "funky" classic rock. I love it.

[@hog7203]

The album this song is on, The Captain and Me, is a classic. Every single song is great.

[@somersetcace1]

This one is really wrapped up in the question "Without love, where would you be now," but apparently the music for this song was already long established and they had been jamming to it at shows, with and without on the spot lyrics. Finally, they decided to write lyrics for it and the train thing was already established so it became like an analogy for the way life keeps on moving like a train. Some songs are like that. They come to be in strange ways.

[@JohnNewkirk1]

Didn't know that, but makes perfect sense.

[@doughbafett]

My favorite tune of theirs. Kicks ass from the first note and never lets up.

[@dickcnormis1444]

They said the Illinois Central and The Southern Central Freight…..you guys need to look at the lyrics as you listen, it will be a better experience.

[@jdbuscemi8181]

I was really blessed to grow up with this type of music

[@vickieray]

“Another Park Another Sunday” is a real gem from The Doobies or “Without You” 🔥🎤🎸🎶♥️

[@farmerbill6855]

Illinois Central and Southern Central were both railroads. "The steel rails lie cold and hard". It's all about trains. And love.

[@williambarrett3223]

One of the greatest albums ever made

[@chrisb9577]

Doobies are much like Steely Dan in that they bring a lot of elements into their songs: blues, funk, jazz, soul, rockabilly, and straight out guitar rock.

[@auralfixxation6702]

This song just gets from the very beginning with that guitar riff. Then those harmonies.., bluesy funk vibe.

[@13_13k]

Doobie Brothers -- great music that crossed genres and broke musical stereo types. They were on the rock stations, the r and b stations, the pop stations, and a lot of people were surprised to find out they were mostly white musicians. They appeared on Soul Train and a sitcom called " that's my mama" which was basically an all black cast that was on television in the mid 1970s. Having a band, any band, perform on a sitcom was unheard of, pretty much but a few shows did around that time to lure viewers and raise ratings.

[@fredselbman3319]

The doobie brothers are one of my favorite bands, I’ve seen them a few times in concert ! 🤘😎

[@angier5775]

The Doobs are one of my faves!!! Top 5! They’re doing their 50+ Anniversary Tour right now! Try out the first song we heard from them Jesus is Just Alright. You’ll get hooked like we all were 🎵✖️

[@shawnmcgowan6405]

I just saw them in ATL and wow they sounded great.

[@duanemcfate3119]

Bad ass band another of the greats to see live peace✌️

[@ToddSauve]

The Doobie Brothers are one of the best bands in rock and roll history. They could and did play anything! Rock, country, blues and funk (soul) were as easy as falling off a log for them! That album is 50 years old, so that should tell you a lot about them! 🤔💘😎🎸

[@vellaropedart9190]

You should really check out their rendition of "Take me in your arms (rock me a little while)". It's powerful.

[@rickjames420]

This was my high school bands main song to play after a sports event. It got lit 😂

[@TheBuzzard1209]

Its about love and how it helps getting you through life!, You two are something else.

[@joepaskowski9091]

Man-you guys are getting really good at picking out the vibe of songs the very first time you hear them!

[@42Mrgreenman]

Indeed, Brad got the meaning with only about a minute of analysis and not hearing most of the lyrics...lol...the whole song is about trains in relation to love, the part about Ms. Lucy, who ended up walking away down the tracks because she lost all her loves. Her love keeps her going but she won't be coming back...unless she can catch a ride on another "Love" train...

[@DanielFrost21]

One of the best from the Doobies

[@chrissiler6075]

Lon Train Running started with the blues riff, then the bass is funky and the drums. Tom made the words up on stage for three years and Templton the manager said you have to write the words down so its the same LOL. Your right about the attitude

[@LynnThompsonAuthor]

One of the things I've always enjoyed about the Doobie Brothers is all the layers of parts going on in their songs. Different instruments, some of which you hardly notice when you hear the overall song, but they all add to the flavor of it, like a good stew. They all blend together to give the song its unique flavor.

[@chrisa4695]

This is quintessential Doobie Brothers from their earlier California Sound period.

[@cmortenson3647]

let me be the first to point out, there was a punk band from L.A. called X. they were pretty well respected among punk bands. they did a version of this song called "True Love". It's amazing. Long Train Running is great, But X's true love is greater. If you all would react to it, that would be amazing!

[@kathybwell]

Me and Doobie Brothers grew up in the same area- the Santa Cruz Mts, Cali 💖 Journey's bass player, Ross Valory, grew up there too, and the ranch that Neil Young sings about in 'Old Man' is in same mountains. Neil used to show up sometimes at open mike in Boulder Creek 🤩 California living!

[@thebrhinocerous]

Just a thought...if you start listening with a speaker instead of headphones, your little boy will get to listen along with you :)

[@chrino21]

“Is it funky?” I think so, but... I KNOW it’s a GROOVE.

[@alexanderbeta-werburghii6176]

It has to be said Lex's vocal impressions are hilarious.

[@charlespalacios8324]

He is equating Love...with a freight train 🚂💕

[@benshafer5198]

Lex with the top notch Tom Johnston impression lol! Lucky enough to see this iteration 3 X's during the mid 70's when was just a wee lad. Great memories. They had warm vibe and put on an excellent show. You may want to check out 'Listen to the Music' next🔥

[@LarryNtx]

The Illinois Central was the main passenger line from Chicago to New Orleans.

[@timtravasos2742]

Classic, unbeatable rock song. Full of variety and innovation.

[@rickjames420]

This was my high school bands main song at sporting events. Graduated in 2006 and I'll never forget how pumped we would get as players. Always brings back memories.

[@davemcbroom695]

Luv the bongos and the harmonica in this one! 🤘

[@Geerladenlad]

[@raywalker340]

Good job plenty of train references if you just listen close enough

[@pd4104lang]

They mentioned the train in the first verse. " "Down around the corner, half a mile from here, you can see the long trains run, and you watch them disappear."

[@markschroer5940]

Two weeks ago tonight, my wife and I were listening to this song live at the Doobie Brothers concert. It was a great night.

[@LoveBandit1000]

That's in the top five all time rock and roll songs in my book...

[@kilroy205]

[@rebeccalipps23]

Funky for sure, then that harmonica to rock you back & sigh.

[@peteseegiii3201]

This one of my all time faves. Totally a Classic.

[@moonlitegram]

This is definitely heavily inspired by funk which was also a fairly new and popular genre back then.

[@roydownes2458]

[@thomasjurgensen2086]

All the bars back in the early seventies usually be having a band playing this

[@williamweiss6128]

Doobie Bros had such a cool vibe out of the box. Had heard McDonald but prefer the pre- era.

[@stevenappleman]

That rhythm section!

[@WolfFX13]

Great Railroad song, made me think of another great railroad song that y'all should check out, Arlo Guthrie's 'The City of New Orleans'. I really think you guys will appreciate it.

[@gummball]

Doobie's were all class, everything about their music, talent and production. They had so many great songs...

[@edsherrod5216]

Welcome to the 70's - this is a great song! One of many the Doobie Brothers penned. They continue to write great music - even today!

[@c.r.alexander1117]

Great reaction, as always! Good song...one of the first rock songs I learned to play on guitar. RIP John Hartman, drummer/percussionist for the Doobies who recently died.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

I had forgotten how damn funky this one was!

[@JazzDrummer1946]

R.I.P. John Hartman (9/23/22) Co-founder, drummer of the Doobie's. He was 72.

[@TrianglesAndCircles]

No matter how it's sliced, if I hear a loaf of congas and harmonica my ears will not be hungry.

[@randycollins7699]

it was a groove song.... the doobie's were a good band, but for me its hard to define them, but i always loved listening to them. they had so many other great tunes.

[@wheelinthesky300]

This song could have been written by any of the early black blues legends -Lead Belly, Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Howling Wolf.

[@robertzimmerman2513]

You should listen to The Doobie’s get their Motown on when they cover Take Me In Your Arms. First released by Motown legend Kim Weston in 1965. Great Holland Dozier Holland song!

[@williamwilburn7924]

Great reaction! I've always loved this song...funky just like Lex said. Brad, just for you, check out Weird Al's "Hardware Store". It's not a parody like most of his songs. Being a handyman you'll appreciate the lyrics, especially the speed in the 3rd verse....he could give Eminem a run for his money!

[@robertasirgutz8800]

Lex, you were born in wrong decade. Such a rock and roller.

[@frankiegreer6258]

I had that song on an 8-track back in 1977 you guys are behind the times but non the less entertaining. Peace ☮️

[@1bigrowdy]

Song started as a opening jam for their concerts.

[@jamesjohnston9225]

Good one. Their "Black Water" is another fav of mine, although it's a totally different vibe than this one.

[@richard_n]

Brad & Lex you guys so need to do a Funk Only stream. You need to learn more of that genre so you can relate to it more.

[@ArgonTheAware]

It is a useful perspective to shows how to be grateful for what you have to contemplate that question *Without Love where would You be Now?* Because the answer is most likely *Homeless, In Jail or Dead*

[@whatchutalkinbout]

I had this album on Quadraphonic Vinyl for my Quadraphonic stereo, in 1975. It took it to another level.

Sounds like a very good live rendition of the studio version..

[@sharilynbratton6476]

One of my top fave songs of all, I never get tired of it! I'm 60 and have rocked out to this for a LONG time so the title fits me now as well as the train, ha!

This song is just about life, using a train as a metaphor, why cant you see that?

[@oneisnone7350]

Listen To The Music is a MUST by the Doobie Brothers! I believe that was their first hit. Be sure to listen to the normal version. There are a couple that are sped up on KZbin.

[@alonzocoyethea6148]

1:57..Well, Lex, ya got a slick conga player in the background, a country-freid harmonica solo in the middle, and a black bassist (Tiram Porter) puttin' down a smooth line..Not what I call a funk tune, but a very good groove nontheless...When Long Train Runnin came out, Most everybody at my mostly black M.L.K grade school in Portland, Oregon sure loved it!

[@Neilsmu]

Love this. And live they are amazing. Two drummers smacking out infectious rhythms !!! Great songs.

[@SG-js2qn]

This song is like country and funk colliding. Those styles are not as different as you might think, and both styles are typically played on the same type of guitar: a telecaster. You use he guitar as a percussive instrument, making choppy strumming sounds (chicka chicka).

[@pooperpants4503]

9th grade freshman football and this song, just go together for me. Memories! Awesome song! Had a friend that could play the tune blowing into a glass coke bottle. So fun, sounded like a train whistle too..

[@mikeloomis687]

Brad doesn't admit this song got him grooving a little bit.

[@marybaillie8907]

This song is perfect in every way. Early Doobies, before Michael McDonald joined the band. The harmonica is crazy in this song, guitars masterful, and the vocals absolutely totally absorbing. Great reaction. Big Hugs from Canada ❤️ ❤️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦

One of my favorite doobie brothers songs

[@IYAMNI]

One of their biggest hits but not even my favorite song off this album. It's a pretty eclectic comination of songs from ballads to rockers all with their disticnt southern sound. South City Midnight Lady miht be my favorite of this album, but there also Dark Eyed Cajun Woman, Evil Woman (a rocker with a Zepplin worthy riff and a metaphor for heroin addiction I believe) Ukiah, The Captain and Me...oh and China Grove was also a big hit of this album.
