First Time Hearing | The Doobie Brothers - Long Train Runnin Reaction

[@stevenmonte7397]

China Grove, Black Water, Listen to the Music, Takin it to the Streets... Early Doobie Brothers hits!

[@Robbob9933]

Black Water just puts me in the zone.

[@jonfazzone5125]

Early Doobie Brothers is the Best Doobie Brothers. Lucky enough to have seen them Live back then. Great Outdoor Concert

[@mikemiller4715]

Let’s get going on some doobies mrlboyd….. stevenmonte listed 4 tracks above that you should be a little embarrassed not to know- let’s go!!!!!

[@stevenmonte7397]

@@mikemiller4715 well, one is michael mcdonald, but the old ones are classic!

[@brendaaymond9751]

We had the greatest music in the 70s. I love seeing your reaction.

[@dagwood00049]

My old man was born in 1930, fought in Korea, loved country music , hated most Rock but always got in a good mood when he heard the Doobie Brothers.

[@React2This]

Doobie Brothers were one of our towel-under-the-door 1970s dorm room glories. I get a mild flashback buzz just hearing anything by the Doobie. 😂❤

[@RachelDacusAuthor]

Doobie Brothers -- worth digging into their catalog, for sure. Some of the best of the period, which is some of the best music ever made.

[@johnwilkinson4683]

Glad you found this rendition of the Doobie Brothers... this is one of their best tunes... but honestly they are full of talent. Mostly from San Jose and Santa Cruz CA - they all can play multiple instruments.

[@joelanderos23]

my san jose hometown boys.

[@actuariallurker9650]

Jazz musician Cornelius Bumpus on Vocals, Piano, and Sax. Also was a session player for Steely Dan with Michael McDonald

[@franceshaas8255]

I think it is "When My Guitar Gently Weeps?" Agree about Prince's guitar playing in that video.

[@karinwolf3645]

Yes!! Listen to everything of theirs!! You'll love it!! 💋💖💋💖😆😆😆😎

[@stevenmonte7397]

WOW! That's not the original singer, but this guy sounds pretty close! Accurate performance of the original.

[@joelanderos23]

my hometown boys; san jose, ca. was listening to them in local clubs before they hit the big time.

[@joeleo078]

This has to be my favorite reaction from you by far! Great band, seen them live. They never disappoint.

[@chrissiler6075]

Pat started the riff and Tyron the bass player jumped in. It started about 1970 and Tom would riff the words every night. This was 80-84 era and I saw them live twice on this tour. What JOY live

[@Hobodeluxe960]

that entire concert is online and one of the best shows live I've seen. it was right before they broke up and were at their peak. worth giving a watch for the whole show.

[@tapduff]

The Doobie Brothers are great!! They are still performing after 50 years!

[@marel5932]

My very favorite band from the '70s. I graduated from high school in 1975 and they were the band to follow. Have been to many of their concerts since then and they NEVER disappoint.

[@marytreder8095]

This is from their 1981 concert in Santa Barbara - the whole concert is great, and Michael McDonald (mentioned below ) is with them at this concert. I love them, and it looks like you do, too.

[@looneygardener]

I saw them in 1977. Great band with great vocalists.

[@nrsvlda70]

Played the (the vinyl) this song was on until it wouldn’t play ‘no more’!! Doobies were so popular in the 70s.. I think this live performance is from the early 80s, and this is Cornelius Bumpus (keys and sax) singing. Tom Johnston was the original lead singer, and was who sang this song on the album. Michael McDonald joined them after Tom Johnston left in late 70s, due to health issues. Michael did most of the leads through the 80s, then Tom rejoined the band. They’re still touring.. great band with tons of really great music. Thanks for your reaction!!

[@Royal_BLT]

🇨🇦 This is early Doobie Brothers, later Doobies include Michael Mcdonald with things like "What a fool believes" ! Their history is long and distinguished, look it up !

[@franceshaas8255]

Have never listened to Doobie Brothers before. This was great ! Wow!

[@critterwatcher8009]

I love watching some of the live concerts as the group has gotten older. They still play hard, sound good, and seem to enjoy being on the stage. They are one of the bands who had (have) talented multi-instrumentalists.

[@candacewillis4443]

I am a huge Doobie Brothers fan. I have never heard this version, but I loved it. Black Water is where you should head next. Great reaction as usual!

[@donnaneville192]

One of my favorite bands. Multiple lead singers, but all solid. A lot of people think Michael MacDonald was the best, and I love his voice, but really like the earlier songs like China Grove and Blackwater best.

[@DewayneGore]

Oh man, bro. The Doobie Brothers rocked my world growing up. Go down that rabbit hole :D And they sounded better live on stage that most modern "artists" do in studio.

[@chrissiler6075]

This is the golden era The Doobies, The Allman's, The Eagles & Santanna

[@markdavidson6831]

This Concert Was After Tom Johnston, The Original Leas Vocalist, Left The Group.

[@stevenmonte7397]

Maybe you aren't old enough to remember the episode of What's Happening when Rerun bootlegged a Doobie Brothers performance.

[@clemson1889]

I do!!

[@jodonnell64]

"Hello? Is this the Doobie Brothers? Which Doobie do you be?"

[@rogerfleming6354]

Harry Nilsson Jump into the Fire great drum solo.

[@jonathanwright9613]

They have a massive catalogue!

[@sharonchaput9705]

This is early Doobie Brothers and it was fantastic. Equally as good when Michael McDonald joined- iconic voice.

[@mstewart109]

I grew up in 60s 70s. I do not know this version with the percussion. Earl Doobie Bros was awsome. So many great single artists and groups to name.

[@MarkThomson-dl1uh]

The harmonies on the studio version are so much tighter

[@tinagarcia3571]

My teen years, Day on the Green San Francisco so many times. They rented a house in my hometown every year to write and record.

[@marcieharreld286]

Drum solos? Check out Neil Pert's drum solo!! He was the drummer for Rush!! Doobie Brothers are amazing!! Enjoy the journey through this rabbit hole!!!🎶🎼🎵🥁🎤🎸🎙🎹🔥🔥🤘🤘

[@jimnicosia5934]

I saw them live at Saratoga springs NY. My first concert.

[@clous081]

Lucky enough to see them live for free with Kenny loggins when I was too young to appreciate either

[@quinjesuis9187]

Awesome ❤️‍🔥

[@michaelhillmann3460]

This is early Doobies played in the Michael McDonald era . Tom Johnson was not with the band at this time. They were known to have two drummers and a percussionist.

[@michaelhoward900]

For a cool drum solo you can't go wrong with Santana at Woodstock.

[@scook5193]

You've got to listen to "Listen to the music", their signature piece. I dare you to count all the instruments you can hear in that song.

[@Anna-hl5zb]

One of my favourite songs from one of my favourite bands! As others have mentioned, multiple lead singers, over the top talent. Definitely dive into the Doobie Brothers, I think you will love the journey. As for other bands with drum solos, may I suggest Rush? Neil Peart, one of the all time best drummers ever.

[@williambill5172]

Have fun down that rabbit hole, my friend! Love your channel!!!

[@leonbosman690]

Them Changes - Buddy Mikes (drummer) from Carlos Santana. & Buddy Miles! Live!

[@peggyfitzmaurice4100]

Found you channel and boy, Doobie Bros bring back some great memories

[@stanley7785]

santana soul sacrifice from woodstock is great drum solo

[@hlawrencepowell]

Drum solos were big back them. And we even had some bass solos.

[@sourisvoleur4854]

Groove is what the Doobies do best. Try "China Grove" for an awesome rhythm guitar groove.

[@clintlandrum9498]

The doobies can rock hard, they had some MOR hits, they had some R & B and soul moments. They were multi instrumental and always featured strong harmonies. I recommend "Jesus is just alright with me" live. And "China grove," of course.

[@jimcarberry8262]

Drum solo Santana at Woodstock 1969 live long version Soul Sacrifice

[@MrMoon1953]

Add to the previous comment, a more recent hit, but with the sound of the original band, "Music is a Doctor".

[@MrJohnw2454]

Chicago live @ Tanglewood (any song) would rank right up there. Freddy Mercury w/ Queen (live) also.

[@dustinbaugh601]

You should check out Joe Satriani's Made of Tears Live... No drum solo but the melody may indeed produce tears. Also Charles Berthoud does an amazing cover of a song you have probably heard before "Just the Two of Us", It used to play on the radio ALL the time roughly 20 years ago.

[@leonbosman690]

Favorite drum solos…Get Ready - Rare Earth long version & Beatles or Phil Collins - Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End.

[@maryschaffer3918]

Live these guys. I'm supposed to go see them Friday night if it doesn't rain

[@josephbishop3590]

Thank you sir! This is definitely an amazing song! And this is one of the best live performances of all time. This is a KILLER track...but... For maximum effect, you really need to have the studio version in your ears, at least once before you leave this mortal coil. Taking NOTHING away from this performance... Love, love, LOVE this band. Next from their catalog I CHEAT THE HANGMAN One of the best fade out/fade in transitions .... Similar to the full length version of Blue Oyster Cult's DON'T FEAR THE REAPER (I see for the first time in my 63 years this connection, thematically and titular...huh!)

[@swamihuman9395]

- Yes, MORE DOOBIES! :) - I'm partial to early years, but good stuff on offer from all incarnations. - Enjoy :)

[@karinwolf3645]

Drum solo... Inagada Davida from Iron Butterfly is great! I probably spelled it wrong, though.. 🙄🤷💋💖😎

[@christo-1234]

Listen to the music and Black water!!!!

[@marywatts149]

China Grove is my favorite.

[@beedeegee9374]

They have too many great songs for me to pick a favorite, but CHINA GROVE is in my top 5!

[@mrdontplay6256]

Allman Brothers are good too. Along similar lines

[@Proverbs--bm3fo]

China Grove, Jesus is just alright, black water, Captain and me are other early DB hits. Michael McDonald took over the group later in the 70s and gave them a much different sound.

[@The_Kiosk]

Doobies were one of my dear departed Dad's favorite bands. So many classic songs and some careers launched. Definitely check out more. 70s rock bands were hyper talented.

[@musicairplanes4884]

Led Zeppelin Moby Grape. One of the best drum solos you will ever see.

[@chrissiler6075]

Cornelius was so talented

[@charlesgarner2177]

Great drummers: check out Billy Cobham. His legendary album Spectrum is fire! It has Tommy Bolin on guitar, another legend. Listen to Quadrant 4, it will blow your mind! Guaranteed.

[@johnwilkinson4683]

I recommend checking out the updated version of the Doobie Brothers...kzbin.info/www/bejne/eH6boY2nnMdmsJo

[@dustinsamson4879]

Muddy waters is a great song

[@Hobodeluxe960]

you like drums? you should check out a little girl named Yoyoka.

[@gotrhythm1]

When you pause in the middle of a solo, is like your wife stopping doing what she was doing when she made you climax! I do love your reactions though!

[@matforsbon]

Only percussion solos make sense to MRLBOYD, Good to know, so after many times here this will be my last visit.

[@dannymoore6886]

The Doobie Brothers started out as a Southern Rock type band and they were great. After lineup changes and music direction changes they became an AM rock/pop rock band and they just weren't as good as they used to be. I had to let them go. They were more commercially successful then but I thought they sold out.

[@michaelhoward900]

For your next Doobie Bros. dive try Jesus Is Just Alright. You will love it. Guaranteed.

[@michaelhoward900]

And next China Grove.

[@cr16219]

You compare this to Snarky Puppy - Lingus? Lingus sounds like a funky,, ad lib jam session. Not bad. But this is cohesive, structured, flowing, sophisticated. Don't see your 'likeness' comparison.

[@chadengert7786]

Moby Dick by Zepplin.

[@SnowEfaust]

. where would you be right now

[@ryanhowlett3771]

Listen to the original

[@UncleCharlie111x2]

He didn't sing lead on original!

[@porflepopnecker4376]

Original version is 100x better. No idea who these guys are.

[@827dusty]

That is not the original singer. Try the studio recording if you want the real thing. Thanks

[@looneygardener]

Disco? No.

[@jeremymiller6830]

Just a observation sir, you don’t mind a vibe with other genres but you almost demand substance from rap. I don’t disagree but am I wrong?

[@sharonchaput9705]

This song and band are about as far from disco as you can get.
