first time hearing | Eli's Coming 1975 - Three Dog Night | Reaction!!

[@denisetowe895]

Any Three Dog Night song will leave you happy and not disappoint. They were everywhere in the 70’s and we loved them! I’m still listening to their music!

[@mstewart109]

This is my favorite song of theirs. The blending of 3 lead vocals was amazing. This group was underrated in my opinion. I grew up listening to them in the 70s. Please start digging up their music.

[@JohnLennon99791]

Corey Wells had Soul 🙌

[@joannholmes8726]

And now we are in OUR 70s!!! Love it.

[@GrannyZanna]

Mama Told Me! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@RockChick63174]

​@joannholmes8726 some of us are in our early 60's. 😉

[@blanetalk]

Great band. You should listen to "Never Been To Spain", "Mama Told Me (Not To Come)" or "Shambala" as all are classic examples of why these guys were on the radio so much back in the day.

[@alchemy-oi8xf]

Excellent choices, Blane, that seem to be right up Polo's alley.

[@Cchan53]

And "One"

[@Cchan53]

The one with the mustache ,Chuck Negron , was my favorite. Ashame in later years he succumbed to heroine addiction, lost his fortune over it i believe..sad

[@greendayzd6728]

All mentioned songs above are perfect. Never Been to Spain is a bit slower than the rest. Mama Told Me is humorous. And if you want to be in a good mood you have Shambala.

[@marymackie559]

❤😊

[@johnsteve2377]

Three Dog Night was enormous in the 70's...hard to get across how great they were.

[@riccottrell7179]

You're getting into my era with this. Some other great 3 Dog night songs (3 lead singers) Liar, a remake of Otis's Try a little tenderness, Out in the country, are some very good care that don't get heard as much. I'm also a huge Grand Funk fan, anything from the Closer to home album or E Pkuribus Funk which is stamped on the back of US coins, the album was packaged in a silver coin pressed cover is one of their best rockers. Love your channel & when I'm done spending too much money on getting healthy again. I'll be buying you a few coffees & blow your mind!

[@cherieblizzard9585]

What is that silver rectangle with an arrow in the black space in the corner of your thumbnail picture?

[@johnsteve2377]

I don't actually see that on my end. That may be an indication for a response by KZbin.

[@DeeDeex2]

LOVE me some 3 Dog Night!!! I grew up with them. You should listen to One (is the loneliest number). It's fantastic.

[@joannholmes8726]

AGREE!

[@mikejimaccont1809]

In my iTunes

[@lindanorris2455]

ME TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

[@gandalf970]

Boy this is a rabbitt hole to go down. Joy to the World, Black and White, Momma Told me not to Come, Never been to Spain.

[@ClearlyBlissful]

Yay! A classic with three lead singers. Check out “One”, “mama told me not to come”, “An old fashioned love song”, “Black and White” and many more.

[@michaellockhart554]

Written by the incomparable Laura Nyro, she wrote many songs that other made hits, Stone Soul Picnic, And When I Die, Wedding Bell Blues, and Stoney End amoung others

[@GullyF]

She recorded/released her version of this song which is awesome in its own right.

[@PennYanTV]

So underrated

[@marielaveau5321]

Laura was the shit. The hippies knew long before everyone else. 🤘

[@michaellockhart554]

I heard a story where she was the girlfriend of the bass player for Blood, Sweat, and Tears, showed up to practice one night with pizza, asked David Clayton Thomas if he'd like to hear some of the songs she had written, sat down at the piano and played Eli's Coming, Stone Soul Picnic, and And When I Die, needless to say BST soon after recorded one of those

[@bettyrose959]

This band right here was gold for many of writers. How couldn't they be with those three up front. I still say they're the greatest cover band to ever exist. Bet they had writer's looking at the originals saying, 'That's what I was talking about.' These guys were amazing, didn't always get along I've heard, but when they were on, they were on it. I enjoy watching people actually see what they are doing live. Studio stuff is better after a witness.

[@jdubs712]

The most recognizable first line of any song “Jeremiah was a bullfrog”. Gotta love Joy to the World

[@maryrosekent8223]

@@jdubs712 Outstanding point!

[@stephenreiner1523]

Actually Laura Nyro sang this in 67. Of course Three Dog and company were astonishing in their way of presenting this track.

[@hoodlifter23]

LN wrote and sang it iirc.

[@stephenreiner1523]

Yes, thank you

[@marksilverman4537]

Most mellow groove from Three Dog Night is their song Out In The Country.

[@MacBailey]

Basically they had three lead singers. This was the radio when I was growing up. Astounding next year will by my half century HS Reunion. Interesting you were blowing up a smoke cloud in you studio exactly when they were rolling the smoke on the stage.

[@joanlajara3939]

Three Dog Night was IT in the 70’s! Crazy good with soul and voices!!❤️

[@SilasBeau123]

😢 We lost Cory 9 years ago today. He was doing concerts a month before passing and was still amazing! So talented and kind. I'm so thankful for their beautiful music!

[@deniseadkins9668]

One is the loneliest number! Great song by them

[@conniehiggins3406]

My favorite!

[@laciesmith4242]

Big favorite!

[@kelleyheon9833]

I grew up in the 70"s amazing music in that era!

[@DianeGardner-i8d]

Three Dog Night were big when I was in highschool - have always loved them

[@TheDivayenta]

Another great hit of theirs is the ballad from “ HAIR” - How Can People Be So Hard? ❤

[@Asiram323]

I’d love to get polo’s reaction to the end of that movie.

[@ruthjohnson4380]

Easy to be hard. Love that!

[@jenniferwintjen3687]

Such a great version. I have trouble not hearing their version in my head when I listen to Hair.

[@judyd6414]

No one could sing like Cory Wells and Chuck Negron in the 70's ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@tmcmurdo826]

Oh man, I remember those polyester shirts and platform shoes! Bet they came from Thom McCans.

[@llschnitz]

Three fantastic lead singers- Cory Wells (this one), Chuck Negron and Danny Hutton. They had about a dozen top ten hits from 1970-1975. Songs included "Joy to the World" (also known as "Jeremiah Was a Bullfrog", "One is the Loneliest Number", "Just and Old Fashioned Love Song" , "Black and White" and "Mama Told Me Not to Come".

[@mikehotovy4222]

21 Top 40 hits from "69-'74. They owned the pop charts back then.

[@darleendionne6403]

Great band! Great reaction! My favourites are "Mama told me", "Joy to the world" and "Shambala".

[@Lea-zf7lm]

I loved, and still do, Joy to the World.

[@lindanorris2455]

ONE is only number.

[@mottjones2876]

Their drummer back in the day was a dude named Floyd Sneed who passed away last year. He used to wear pants and suspenders onstage made out of Holiday Inn towels. No shirt. 😂😂😂

[@TheDivayenta]

Written by the iconic Laura Nyro who also wrote Stone Soul Picnic; And When I Die ; Wedding Bell Blues- check her out!!!!!! I believe Eli is the Prophet Elijah. Also- 70’s whyte artists were very different! We all kinda blended together musically.

[@taragreenetarotastro]

yes Laura was my heroine along with Joni Mitchell. I named my firstborn son Elijah because of this song.

[@mollyhall2954]

We heard all kinds of music, every day, on the same radio station, in each small town. I think that's what made the difference back then. Years and years of that. What do you think? It certainly didn't prevent or erase the racism and sexism of my youth--I'm 69 years old, but when it came to music I think people of all ages, in general, were used to listening to a wider variety of music and at least in music we were more open to each other in a lot of ways. I don't know exactly when things became so divided musically, but they did.

[@NCSusie]

Love 3 dog night! Grew up with these guys!!!!

[@maryrosekent8223]

Yep! I’m 68. You?

[@NCSusie]

@@maryrosekent8223 the same! 😘

[@tomgribbin9531]

Saw these guys back in the day, no autotune, no stage monitors, just pure talent knocking your socks off

[@steedlee3997]

I'm 65 loved this group, loved my bell-bottoms and silk shirts. Oh and also platform shoes.

[@belowfray5251]

What a time it was to be young !

[@kishka7]

Joy to The World, AnOld Fashioned Love Song, Mama Told Me Not To Come, Shamble -- that's a good start!!!

[@AnneliesHes]

My eldest son was 3 at the time and whenever he was happy he would hum that intro. Including the bird like sounds

[@markyow5720]

Went to one of their concerts in the 70s, loved most all their songs: Shambala, Into My Life, Singer Man, Let Me Serenade You, and Mama Told Me Not To Come were favorites of mine.

[@jennymujica1937]

Also, they were a fun band.

[@PaulThoresen]

70s truly were the golden age of rock. As you said, magical

[@petersmall1574]

I grew up listening to TDN, but I had never heard this live version of "Eli's Coming", so thank you for presenting that. I agree with you that the introduction was outstanding. All three singers have real vocal chops. You don't sustain a note like the second guy did without having had some serious vocal training. You should also look up Laura Nyro, the song's composer, whose work has served as a major influence on many other great songwriters.

[@danacasey8543]

Three Dog Night was very popular in the late 60s and 70s. Songs from my high school days. Thank you for bringing those memories back!

[@Linnylou1990]

The best 3 voices and showmanship!! I could listen to them forever. Underrated band and should be in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame! How I miss the 70’s!!!!

[@vickieray]

Imagine, I was 13 & these guys were my very first concert way back in 1973!! 🔥🎶🎤🎸🥁 They have a very deep catalog worth checking out. Just pick a song, no misses 🥰 Great reaction! Love your channel!

[@JanetGibbons-dl3yy]

Very lucky

[@K.LynnGrey]

Never Been To Spain is my favorite song by them. It starts out slow and builds.

[@jeffreyratliff4685]

Three dog night ruled the early 70's. Very underappreciated now.

[@riverrunner-7]

At 13 I received their double album for Christmas. Live at the Forum. I was blown away! That’s an album I wore out. 3 Dog Night was ridiculously talented on harmonizing. Almost up there with The Bee Gees ❤

[@davidish9083]

Out in the Country! Great song.

[@kathieovercash8414]

I love everything they sang. Never had bad song. Shambala. Black And White. Never Been To Spain. Family Of Man. One. Joy To The World. The Show Must Go On. Celebrate.....

[@richardhenderson9767]

Polo... Love your channel...❤❤❤ A good singer/songwriter, J. D. Souther recently passed away on 9/17... He dated Linda Ronstadt and was considered the "6th" Eagle of The Eagels .... He co-wrote some of The Eagles' great hits... The song "You're Only Lonley" by J. D. Souther is a needed reaction for your ears... The song was on the charts in 1979, but it takes you to a totally different decade... One I am sure you will add to your playlist... Much love Polo...😀❤

[@belvagurr403]

Notice the audience are taking it all in, no one screaming or rushing the stage. When you hear and feel the music.

[@nancychestnut8928]

Don't know why, but I've been revisiting music from that era. Being 73 now, I realize I got to experience some of the best music and musicians my whole life. No fireworks, no dancers, just damn good music.

[@nancyleo3987]

No light show. No pyrotechnics. No dancers. Just fabulous singers. What the heck happened to music. I'm an old fogey of 74 and our music was and still is the best.

[@russswanson3820]

Can’t recommend Laura Nyro enough. Check out her original of this song.

[@oldsoulsheart]

High school all over this song. Takes me back.

[@pamelahughes341]

And graduation, then off to Myrtle Beach!! Ah, yeah, good times!!!

[@sherribearden6096]

I grew up in that era, in fact I was 23 in 1975. In that time frame we didn’t get to see our favorite groups perform unless we had the money for tickets to a concert that might be in town. We got to see rare performances on tv which were few and far between and very controlled. I would have loved the internet back then. I didn’t realize how super talented 3 Dog Night was until I saw this live performance. Live performances definitely showcased how truly talented they were. I am obsessed with live performances now, because I rarely got to see them during that time.

[@maryrosekent8223]

The 1970s had some truly great bands!

[@thelmaplett5762]

Always amazing, Joy to the World, my favourite song of theirs. I loved Three Dog Night in the 70's and I still love them.

[@chris...9497]

Back in the early 1970s I had a press pass to their concert (I was working at an underground newspaper). They do a lively, wonderful, passionate concert. I was up on my feet with everyone else in the audience, dancing, jumping up and down, singing along to their song "Celebrate". The song ends, we all sit back in our seats... ...except I hopped back into mine and instead of the seat cushion, my rear end hit the armrest. Broke my coccyx. Couldn't sit for a week. It eventually healed, but in an 'L'-shape. I will always remember attending their concert.

[@classicrocklady6288]

Mama Told Me Not To Come is a fun one. Grew up with these guys. They are amazing! Three, THREE great singers to front one band? Unheard of. Enjoy the ride!

[@taragreenetarotastro]

Pay homage to the Woman who wrote this, Laura Nyro. Please listen to her. She was a super successful songwriter in the 1960s, writing many popular hits like Stoned Soul Picnic, Wedding Bell Blues, And When I Die, Save The Country and this one. She performed in the '60s but didn't like the fame; she was a millionaire at 21 from songwriting and continued to write. Unfortunately, Laura died much too young from breast cancer like her mother; she has an amazing voice, too; check her out. You will be amazed. Eli and the 13th Confession is one of her masterpieces.I named my firstborn child Elijah because of this song.

[@PennYanTV]

Her Frist songs were so ahead of the times . She played the piano so passionately and New York Tendaberry was also a masterpiece. Especially Map To The Treasure and Under a Chinese Lamp

[@JimiBurleigh]

Three Dog Night songs were part of the soundtrack to my life and times. Here are some of my favorites: "An Old Fashioned Love Song" "Never Been To Spain" "Black and White" "The Family of Man" "Out In the Country"

[@mbh2743]

I'm a child of the 60s born in 1952 all the music you're listening to was the music of my life. I had an LP collection of over 500 albums all of them are my favorite and still I didn't have all the music I wanted from the 60s and 70s and early 80s

[@marthagavey9321]

Me too! 1952, very good year, lolI! have stacks of albums, and would run up to buy 45's for $1. each when they came out! 😂 We were so lucky so much great music!! ❤❤❤

[@Akamai2HI]

Yeah, me and my friend would play their 45s on blast when we did sleepovers. I was just hitting my teens when they were popular.

[@Lorib19592]

Me too

[@ReJoyce456]

✨Love Their Vocals❕✨💖✨

[@badbob6689]

I saw 1975 and thought " I loved this son in Jr high and graduated high school in 1975." The performance was in 1975 but 3 dog night came out with their cover of the song in 1969. I still listen to this song. 3 dog night had 3 great lead singers who could harmonize.

[@donaldwilson2548]

AH, the memories! Every one of their songs was incredible. Take a listen to more of their music, especially, 'Out in the country'.😊

[@james7972]

So happy to have found your videos - reliving the music again thru your ears. It is the music of the boomers lives and mine😎

[@belvagurr403]

This was taped in 1975, when I was still free and had the right moves!!! Even getting up on the stage with our local band when they played Wilson Pickett’s Land of 1,000 dances. I’m 78 now and have such wonderful memories of the music of my time of life.

[@vickiadkins9844]

Im 69 now. I saw these magical men when I was 17 in concert , again saw them last year , the were phenomenal!!

[@JanetGibbons-dl3yy]

Saw them live in 1996. They were just as good. Met them also. No bad songs. Great guys.

No lip syncing or auto tune! They were good individually and together. Check out the other lives from this show!

[@RaulMoreno-j8v]

Three Dog Night were amazing 3 great singers ,they dominated the 70's. The name three dog night was taken from an Indian term for a very cold night ,so you had 3 dogs to sleep with you.

[@anthonyblakely399]

Three Dog Night and this song was one of my first time hearing Rock n' Roll on the radio and I absolutely fell in love with the song and the band in 1968. Still one of my all-time favorite Rock band and my No. 1 "Blue-Eyed Soul" band!!!! I have seen them in concert 4 times and they are AMAZING in concert!!!!

[@dianawhite637]

Any song on that concert was amazing! Family of man also shows their individually and harmony!

[@scottdebruyn7038]

OK... I was lucky. I worked for a big tech company back in the 90's and for a great product release (a computer motherboard) that our 100+ people group knocked out of the park, the company put on a big dinner & dance to thank us. We all expected chicken or ribs for dinner and a DJ for the dance, but instead it was a sit down multi-course meal and surprised us with several hours of Three Dog Night live right beside the dance floor. My wife and I had one of the best times of our life! 'Listen to the Music', 'Mama Told Me not to Come', 'An Old Fashion Love Song', 'Never Been to Spain', 'Joy to the World', 'Try a Little Tenderness' and 'Black and White' are some of their best that we all got up and danced to on that very crowded dance floor. 😁🥰

[@jamesperine3472]

In the 70s your heard these songs driving down the road with your radio blasting. Too many great bands to even count let alone have a favorite band. At least for me!. My God what a time to live!!!

[@dancole1172]

From 1969 yo 1974 no band sold more concert tickets or albums than 3DN. They were the first band to command and get 6 figures for a concert tickets. Three outstanding vocalist, 21 straight top 40 records. Thanks for your reaction and you should watch there version of Try a Little Tenderness from that same 1975 concert.

[@mottjones2876]

Three Dog Night was the first concert I ever went to at 11 years old in 1969. As decent as this live version is, you owe it to yourself to spend the 2 minutes and 47 seconds it would take to listen to the original single. They were a singles machine from 69-74. One, Celebrate, One Man Band, Mama Told Me Not to Come, Joy To The World, Easy To Be Hard . It just went on and on.

[@annfevans6923]

I am in my 70s. I experience the most fantastic music in history. Saw Three Dog Night as well as many others in concert. An awesome time loved concert just have recently stopped going to mobility. Have experienced many wonderful times. First concert was Jimi Hendericks and the Animals open for him. Had Breakfast with Greg Almond and band after concert. And no I was not a "GROUPIE" . Seen all the Journey tours as well as the Eagles, Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship. What memories. Enjoy the music!

[@dianad4633]

Saw them in 1974. I was 15. Such a great concert.

[@MissAlabamaNobody]

People have mentioned that Laura Nyro wrote this song and have mentioned other Three Dog Night songs that were big hits. The other songs mentioned were written by Randy Newman, Paul Williams, and Hoyt Axton, to name a few. If you don't know those names, you should, and Laura Nyro originals would be great for reactions as well. They're all immensely talented songwriters and singers.

[@susanmurray7654]

My favorite of thier songs and I like alot of thier songs. I was 13 when this was out but I rocked out singing into my hairbrush! Saw them 2x 😊

[@LoisChisholm]

Oh, this was the Trippin' Version of this song! I saw Three Dog Night live twice in 1971 and 1972. Both times, the song started with the words "Eli's Coming"... the trippy intro came later, and they were just playing with the audience. They did put on a great show, without a doubt. They were my favorite band to see in concert. They have a boatload of great music.

Some great suggestions already. Also Jeremiah Was A Bullfrog was a good one, too! Or, One (is the loneliest number), and many more. Their name means it's such a cold night it will take three dogs to keep you warm.

Saw them with Buddy Miles in early 70's. Buddy opened. ...after 3 Dog Night finished...the audience just kept chanting Buddy!....Buddy!. He stole the show. What a night...
