The 70's was jumping we all jammed on this group, I'm a black guy who grew up in the 70's jamming out to this song

[@lisarousseau788]

Love this song too was born in 1963 and the 70's were so incredible

He came to the Doobies looking for Michael McDonald and found the classics before Michael. ❤️

I think mooing McDonald ruined their music

[@clannad99germany70]

Me too, absolutely !

[@janeenbarker4851]

If I was a betting person, I would bet all my money that Harri played this again when he finished his reaction and danced his feet off. Go Harri go.

[@stevenyoung1687]

No doubt!!!

[@malkamusik]

Imagine if he heard China Grove? He'd explode. Lol

[@89801wink]

Or "Without You".

[@mattshaw6180]

Next by the Doobies: "China Grove" for a rocker, or "South City Midnight Lady" for mood piece.

[@marthahanley6650]

As a guitarist and vocalist with The Doobie Brothers, Tom Johnston wrote the kind of joyful rock that is truly classic: "Listen To The Music," "China Grove," "Long Train Runnin'" and so much more. In 1975, an illness forced him to take some time off, which is when Michael McDonald joined the group.

[@muskykingjoe]

The official video of "Long Train Running" is great with the trains spouting steam like the old West. Can't see it enough.

[@oliveramilicevic1669]

Your next Doobie Brothers station should be song "Jesus Is Just Alright".

Tiran Porter on bass is a wonder!

[@todddanforth8853]

Yes!!! He may not get any notoriety on the "great bassists" lists, but he should!!! Tiran Porter was all over that bass with original, irresistible and unforgettable lines!!! 💖💖💖👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏

Tom Johnston has such a great voice. Very unique. He's one of the great lead singers in rock.

Absolutely!

[@muskykingjoe]

without a doubt a gifted voice. not another like him. Saw them at Bethel Woods a few years ago and still brings it.

[@beeseewill2407]

There is no other song like it.This era of music will never come again.So enjoyable.

I grew up with them!!! They are great, aren’t they? I have SO many memories attached to The Doobie Brothers.

[@ptrlxc]

Must listen to: Jesus Is Just Alright. It’ll blow you away even more.

[@crowredeye8066]

Love early Doobie Bros! Your reactions are a joy. Thanks for realising the artistry of music I grew up listening to.

[@davecisneros5285]

Man the Doobie Brothers are an American Institution. Hugely influential and was a staple of the 70s soundtrack. They have a ridiculous amount of fun, groovy music. Up there with the Eagles.

[@skyblue9515]

Go Harri, love the way you really get into the music. The Doobies were so huge back in the 70's, such a great band.

[@theodoreritola9758]

WE were OVER SPOILED 70s Brats

[@jeannettesimpson9778]

Yeah! That guitar intro and then the bass kicking in. So smooth. So funky.

It’s always great to see someone really enjoying themselves while listening to good music

[@johnrichards2365]

Check out "South City Midnight Lady" beautiful!!! peace and love

[@elgonwilliams7624]

Yep. It was an outstanding, well-produced album with several hits and plenty of tasty deeper cuts. Next do China Grove, South City Midnight Lady, Rockin' Down The Highway, Dark Eyed Cajun Woman, Another Park Another Sunday, and Jesus Is Just Alright. All are pre-Michael McDonald.

[@massaglia]

Oh! And Eyes of Silver. 👍🏼

[@rigelmoon9030]

[@ememnicholas565]

I just love the early Doobie Brothers. Soundtrack of my high school years! I saw them in concert in the 70's two nights in a row (once just wasn't enough). Almost 30 years later to the day, I took my son to see them. It was very special.

[@islandiron]

I enjoy watching reactions to the music I grew up with in the 70’s.

[@walterpanovs]

Their early-'70s hit "China Grove" has that same chucka-chuka guitar sound.

[@markcornish2519]

Been listening to the doobies since 1975, this is probably my favorite of many great tunes they have

[@abmqa]

I'm Proud To Say That There Are Many Doobies Tunes In The Soundtrack Of My Life 🎶🎸🎼💥🎸🎼🤩

[@paulprendergast3184]

Some of the original brothers (and a different bass player) put out some really fun versions of Listen to the Music and Black Water, Covid style. Called Doobies in isolation. Fun stuff!

[@dunismith3045]

Wish I could give this 100 thumbs up! Your reaction is 🔥! Doobies are phenomenal, nice to watch you discover them.

[@susanbenson4201]

Without love? It sucks some days, but I have music 🎶! Not a physical cuddle, but still the ultimate comfort. The music doesn’t leave you for another. Don’t be calm! The feels, man, the feels!! ☮️❤️

[@lindasalvaterra1304]

You’re right! It is ridiculous! The amount of great music we had back then. We took it for granted cause it was so prevalent. What happened to music?

[@jamiepeers5119]

Best Michael McDonald Doobie Brothers "What a Fool Believes"

[@qthelost]

Guitarist/singer Patrick Simmons wrote and sang "Black Water." Guitarist singer Tom Johnston wrote and sang "Listen to the Music" and "Long Train Runnin'." That's why they sound different. Patrick has that smoother sound and Tom has that more rockin' sound. They put out their first album in 1971 and released 5 albums (and a lot of great songs) before Michael McDonald joined in 1975.

[@shanefrancis368]

Next up Steely Dan…anything from them

[@stevedoumas7701]

Aja for sure

[@eviekelpie1]

He's done heaps of Steely months ago

[@dianawhite637]

Chicago, Three Dog Night and The Doobies Brothers are so diverse. Very talented!

[@kualua6612]

Early Doobies is the best! Any song from the Toulouse Street, The Captain and Me, or What Were Once Vices are Now Habits albums is a banger! Check um out!

[@chrissiler6075]

Harri: Long Train Running was a JAM. The words were just what came to his head in the moment. Pat starts the riff and Tyron Porter took over

[@garyseven5791]

Yes this is a big song back in the day and we love you too Harri.

[@dantean]

The original band led by founder Tom Johnston! Much as I love Michael McD, Tom is the man and always will be!

[@jacobin1159]

Doobie Brothers "Takin' It To The Streets." MICHAEL McDONALD lead singer.

[@daleowens156]

They are still playing and sound just as they did in the 70s and 80s. I have tickets for 2022 for a show postponed from 2020.

[@ericanderson8886]

All them great Doobie songs. Don't stop before you get to China Grove.

[@reneerocha1796]

They NEVER DISAPPOINT!! Ever!! And yes, you have to dance. 😂

[@timcoffin6350]

This song was a jam that they used for sound check before concerts and someone told them "You should put words to that", so they did. Their record company signed them after just hearing a demo tape that came in their mail. He said nobody ever did that with a band but they were so good he didn't want to risk anybody else signing them.

[@letitbesummer6536]

It’s pretty impossible not to dance to The Doobie Brothers, especially this one!

[@alansmith7626]

Thank you so much! This band is part of my life since 1970....I absolutely Loved your react, was real and honest, love you long time brother, keep on! Thanks so much!!

[@gwshelton4875]

Saw them live at Virginia tech in 73.... changed my life. Saw everyone from Aerosmith to ZZ Top live once, but the Doobies, I've " listened to the music" live 28 times. Something about those guys and those songs. Have tickets for #29 in Charlotte next year. 3 lead guitars, 2 drummers, if they don't get u up outta your seat, you're probably DEAD. 3 generations in my family have seen them live and great grandson is dancing to your video right now. He's still too little so I'll be " rocking down the highway" with a fattie if I'm still breathing

[@charlesgarner2177]

I have always exposed my children to good food and good music. My middle sons first concert weekend was Fri the Doobie Bros and Sat was Shooter Jennings, 38 Special, and Charlie Daniel's. Hes turned out pretty good.

Grew up in the 70s......never ever get tired of this song.

[@BlackiePawless]

All Doobies album were produced by Ted Templeman who later produced all the Van Halen albums. Next up really needs to be Jesus Is Just Alright and then China Grove. After you get thru phase 1 of Doobies then move on to phase 2 with Michael McDonald. Very different animals.

[@ToddSauve]

Didn't I say the Doobie Brothers were one of _the great_ rhythm rock and roll bands of all time? Ha, ha! It is a joy to see someone your age discover how great our favourite music from our teenaged years was! 😉👌🙃💖🎶🎸😎😂 They had two drummers, plus congas. Often times three guitars and unbelievable harmonies! And like you said, Tiran Porter ought to be investigated. Or made illegal! Ha, ha, ha! Now you can understand why boomers don't listen to rap and hip hop. When you have heard the best, why settle for what is being peddled by the "industry" now? Keep in mind, that you _had_ to be able to play your instrument and sing back then. There was no Auto-tune and almost no guitar pedals, so you had to know your stuff inside out and backwards and be able to play your guitar _cleanly!_ Great reaction Harri!!!

[@rodneyhearne3405]

The pride of San Jose, CA. Still going strong! I have seen them over the years but I remember this song my freshman year of college. Great acoustic guitar opening. Nice reaction!

[@TheDivayenta]

I went to Leigh High with Pat! Jammed with him at our “ hootenanny”!

[@happymethehappyone8300]

THE DOOBIE BROTHERS "CHINA GROVE",, "JESUS IS JUST ALRIGHT" & "TAKIN' IT TO THE STREETS"

[@DK-001]

You REALLY get the magnificence of this song! It's perfection! ...and My God THE BASS!!!

[@leosag816]

Doobies made your whole being want to get up and dance & sing along. They were pure magic

[@jmelio1]

My teen music :) Still awesome of course...The Doobie Brothers are greatness

[@ricknbacker5626]

Musicians playing in cover bands from the early 70's thru the mid 80's will attest that when you needed a full dance floor, the Doobie Bros were one of the go to bands to cover. Listen to the Music Long Train Running and China Grove were can't miss songs to get up and dance.. Tom Johnson lead sings on all 3 of these songs. In1974 (Skunk Baxter) and 1975 (Michael McDonald) joined the DB's. The bands sound began to change and a whole new following subsequently developed. A dividing line between the original fans and the late bloomers was real, but always friendly. Cos everybody loved these guys. The DB's are the most successful band to come out of San Jose California. The legions of us fans, who bought those first couple albums, are quite proud that one of our of a local bands made it really REALLY BIG!! On to China Grove Hari. You are going to absolutely love it. Cheers, RNB

[@terrimobley6067]

Early Doobies were just about happy .... They remind me of Sly and the family Stones song Everyday People ,❤️

[@kylebakke594]

Tiran Porter is that masterful bass player. 🤩

[@todddanforth8853]

I bought that album "The Captain and Me" back in high school in the 1970's. I was crazy about the Doobies!!! Even today in my 60's I can't sit still when I hear Long Train Runnin' or China Grove!!! 💖💖💖👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@lindasalvaterra1304]

Another great Doobie Brothers song! Love it!

[@RadCenter]

Believe it or not, I've heard this song hundreds of times, but never with headphones, so it's like I'm hearing it for the first time, too. So glad you chose this classic!

[@oldguyespo640]

Some don't know that the philosophy of the band was thought of as a "Family", meaning musicians came and went and there was never at attitude of "quitting the band", this I believe is what comes across in their music. I've been a fan since day 1. Even Michael McDonald came and went with no remorse or guilt, he at times would come back and perform with the band. MUCH RESPECT for a group that never let fame go to their head.

[@larryfisher2633]

Doobie Brothers live in concert is amazing.! They sound the same as a recording.

[@roymoore3156]

Who can deny the greatness of the Doobie Brothers? My two times at their show even turned out ok! First with TJ and next between TJ and the time Michael McDonald began as their lead singer. Tough show to be sure. 1974 I think it was. Loved the Doobie Brothers from day one!

[@KolozII]

I will gladly "overdose" on Doobie Brothers any day of the week. They have so many incredible songs. Definitely check out more of their stuff, all the pre-Michael McDonald stuff that have already been mentioned to death in the comments (I'm surprised "Nobody" wasn't mentioned. That's like sort of a cross between "Black Water" and "Long Train Runnin'"), as well as the stuff when McDonald was their lead singer, such as "Takin' It To The Streets", "What A Fool Believes", and "Wynken, Blynken & Nod".

[@joeimbesi5361]

Apparently, the song was just a jam without lyrics. Tom Johnston wrote the lyrics in an hour in the studio before the recording. True genius.

[@rebeccad.6248]

Wow, what a total joy watching your reaction to this song!! It came out when I was sixteen, and makes me think back on how wonderful music was back then!! ❤

[@SC-gp7kt]

Yes get up and dance Harri!!! 💜 So glad you found these guys.........great rabbit hole to fall into.

[@39thala]

After you've followed early Doobies music for awhile, the minute I hear that funky guitar strum at the beginning of one of their songs, I almost always know Tom Johnston probably has a part in it. It's sort of his signature style of playing for me.

[@larryhall2805]

Right on! A lot of egg head say Tom J is common, but if he were Jeff Baxter, Pay Simmons & Michael McDonald would not have stuck around.

[@ssacra22]

This brings back so many great childhood memories. They were such a great band!!! Love your reaction.

[@rogerkelly7988]

Saw these guys live in 73 with Ten Years After and Rare Earth at the end of the concert as an encore The Doobie Brothers came back out on stage with Rare Earth and they all jammed to Rare Earth's song I Just Want To Celebrate for those of you who know what I'm talking about are just like me old as dirt I am so grateful to have came up in the 60s wouldn't have missed it for the world great reaction thanks from a new subscriber

[@eviekelpie1]

I've got this same album. Bought it at 17 and used to play it at home with my parents, they loved it! Still sticking to older Doobies, Jesus is just alright, Take me in your arms and China Grove. Then Michael Doobies with Taking it to the streets, live in outdoor concert, it's such an awesome performance!

[@lisarainbow9703]

"Toulouse Street " for a more ethereal sounding early Doobie Brothers, Harri. Intertwining vocal harmonies, it's amazing.

[@nathanchandler6257]

I'm not sure what is better sometimes. Hearing an absolute banger of a song for the first time or seeing a reaction video like this. Not only do you relive the joy of when a song is heard for the first time but you also share that joy with someone else's reaction. You seem like a top guy and this is a one of my favourite reaction videos. Genuine joy from you comes through loud and clear.

dee deedee dee deehdahh dee deedee dee deedahh dee deedee ....that is the guitar strum Rythm of the guitar imitating the wheels on freight cars on trains striking the joints on the rails in rhythmic harmony....but moving fast...and a long train lasts as long as the song to pass one spot...."THE STEEL RAILS COLD AND HARD......" PURE POETRY FOR THE EARS....

The bass drives this song and the last one.

[@celainec2883]

Harri, this Doobie song, Listen to the Music, Black Water, China Grove, Jesus Is Alright, others --- are all Pre-Michael the original Doobie Bros. Michael joined after the lead singer got sick and left the group. Michael changed their entire sound dynamic. And it wasn't long following the change that the Dobbie Bros. faded away. Diehard fans just couldn't get into Michael's sound.

[@suzanneprock7286]
