[@JD_Cool]

I repeat: I can name 20 acts already in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame who don't deserve induction over Three Dog Night. Pure, charismatic charm.

[@homebrew2070]

The lyrics “I’ve never been to heaven but I’ve been to Oklahoma” is on the ceiling of the main entrance of the Hard Rock Casino in Tulsa. Brings a smile every time I go there.

[@Kim-hc5si]

Ayyyy 918!

[@lantose]

We got our Tulsa 918 ac in 1964! Hard Rock has some great concerts and have been to many. Have a great day!

[@michaelpinto9531]

I love that line.

[@ironmen77]

It was written by Hoyt Axton and he was born in Oklahoma. Another 3 Dog Night song to listen to is “Eli’s Coming “

[@karenduell1027]

That's so cool!

[@mattshaw6180]

Three Dog Night is a very deep catalog, and was a big part of the soundtrack of the early 70s. The live performance of "Eli's Coming" should be next for you: that one is a full-out tent revival in 6 or so minutes.

[@robertacolarette1594]

I love Eli’s Coming.

[@markramsey4640]

Yes to this! ⬆️ It's awesome.

[@jeremyshelman9716]

Yes!

[@maryk446]

Have you heard the version of "Eli's Coming" by Laura Nyro, the song's author? I think her version was the best, although Three Dog Night did a good version of it also.

[@jtaljl]

No lies detected!!

[@otisdylan9532]

The most popular Three Dog Night song that you haven't done yet is "One", and since it was written by Harry Nilsson, who you like, it seems like the inevitable choice for next Three Dog Night reaction.

[@Critical_Thinker858]

I wish I could give this 100 thumbs up. Totally agree. "One" is the next Three Dog song to hit.

[@TheCybertiger9]

I thought Eli's Coming was. no ?

[@otisdylan9532]

@@TheCybertiger9 I think that "One" is their most popular song that A&A haven't to yet, with "An Old-Fashioned Love Song" in 2nd place.

[@kimrivera5302]

Too schmaltzy for me.... "Easy to be Hard" is one of my faves.

[@tb6791]

Again as I've said before, they dominated the pop rock scene there wasn't a day in my childhood during the early 70's you didn't hear them on the radio 📻.

[@lesterstone8595]

True

[@antarcticorb9197]

I can attest to that. I sang and hummed this song in highschool while waiting for my hot English teacher to stop rummaging through her desk.

[@bethdealmeida6789]

They had their tv show too! I remember as a kid always watching!

[@xmoomoo9158]

Yes… my first concert!! Saw them many times! Chuck Negron was my crush😁

[@robertg1556]

Best band of the '70s

[@markfinch1838]

Legendary Nashville Songwriter. Hoyt Axton wrote this this song for Waylon also gave it to Three Dog Night. Honestly can't remember who recorded it first. "One" is an amazing song , but if you want more " DIRT" , check out " Liar " . You won't be sorry.

[@cranmeister2365]

Yeah "Liar" is excellent , "Pieces of April" is mellow but really good.

[@Straydogger]

Axton's most lasting contributions were songs made famous by others: "Joy to the World" (Three Dog Night) and "Never Been to Spain" (Three Dog Night, Elvis Presley); "Greenback Dollar" (the Kingston Trio); "The Pusher" and "Snowblind Friend" (Steppenwolf); "No No Song" (Ringo Starr); and an array of others, covered by singers such as Joan Baez, Arlo Guthrie, John Denver, Waylon Jennings, Jonathan Edwards, Glen Campbell and Anne Murray. Axton also sang a couple of duets with Linda Ronstadt, including "Lion in the Winter" and "When the Morning Comes" (a top 40 country hit). His composition "Joy to the World", as performed by Three Dog Night, was No. 1 on the charts for six straight weeks in 1971, making it the top hit of the year. He named his record label Jeremiah after the bullfrog mentioned in the song.[2]

[@werkjiw]

Hoyt himself was the first person to release the song, earlier in 1971.

[@richarddexter7641]

I love "Liar", but I think "Eli's Coming" (which is a Laura Nyro song) is better in that regard.

[@jenniferrogers2492]

They have to do “Eli’s Coming” next! That’s a banger & a half. “Try A Little Tenderness” is REALLY soulful!

[@ronnelson7828]

I like how the guitar goes into full on country style when he starts singing about Oklahoma.

[@ChrisLawton66]

Right?

[@troilusand]

I could unpack all day why you guys are THE best first time reactors out there, and I've sampled A LOT. I will briefly say for now; you (almost always) listen to studio versions you never pause the song to comment you remember all your thoughts and feelings after the song is over Thank you for the continued ride.

[@andyandalex]

Thanks so much! We seriously love putting these videos together, glad you’re enjoying them!! ❤️

[@fredinaz]

Agreed!

[@troilusand]

@@andyandalex I admire and envy that you've found and pursued something that brings you JOY! Your passion shines through to us in the audience.

[@joshhencik1849]

I would add that they have musical backgrounds, so they pick up stuff musically, technically and stylistically that I would never get.

[@Willie_McBride]

@@joshhencik1849 Without a doubt. And that musical background also gives them a major leg up on most other reactors. Not that many of them don’t put out enjoyable content. As far as stopping, not stopping the song etc… I don’t know if that has anything to do with KZbin rules, reactor’s preference, copyright violation or what. I’ve seen different reactors handle this differently, all the time.

[@michael7191]

Eli’s Coming beats everything you’ve listened to so far. Great cover of a great Laura Nyro song.

[@PK1971PK]

Yeah, if they want nasty this beats "Mama Told Me Not to Come" all over the place.

[@papabones6307]

Liar is another banger.

[@guaporeturns9472]

Nope.. Shambala is the best.. but they are all good

[@jtf2dan]

"One" is one of their first hits...its a banger. "Old Fashioned Love song" and "shambala" got a lot of radio air time when I was in High school, you would like al three songs.

[@sharoncarlisle9453]

I freaking love Old Fashioned Love Song!

[@fan123casual8]

“One” was written by Harry Nilsson.” 😊

[@nanschafer9999]

I’m 71, Three Dog Night was huge when I was young. I loved their music SO much! The songs, lyrics, voices. Thanks for the memories!

[@-Ricky_Spanish-]

Written by the great Hoyt Axton, who also wrote "Joy to the World", as well as many other big songs like "The Pusher" (Steppenwolf) and "Greenback Dollar" (Kingston Trio). He also was a fairly prolific actor, probably best known for his role as the inventor Randall in Gremlins.

[@hallewis389]

Host Axton version of this song is really good, worth a listening. Of course 3DN version is the best. I knew you guys would get it.

[@bobg8378]

The Pusher? God damn that's a great song

[@-Ricky_Spanish-]

@@bobg8378 Yeah, written autobiographically by Axton about his own struggles with cocaine. I will say Steppenwolf's version is decidedly better.

[@patches1589]

I did not know this! Each of the songs you mentioned have special meanings in my life. Like I will say over and over on reaction channel comments, I always find hidden treasures of info. Love it!

[@-Ricky_Spanish-]

@@patches1589 And they were autobiographical, for better or worse. In "Greenback Dollar" he talks about his mother telling him to "sing what must be song", and when you consider that his mother co-wrote "Heartbreak Hotel" for Elvis, it makes it all the more impactful in how much those words must have meant to him as a child. Always glad to share knowledge. Also by any chance is your name taken from the song "Patches" by Chairmen of the Board? Clarence Carter's version is one of my favorite soul songs of all time.

[@surlechapeau]

A&A, Their "Black And White", "One", "An Old Fashioned Love Song" and"Eli’s Coming" are next for you!! edit- Never Been To Spain song written by Hoyt Axton, Cory Wells on lead vocals.

[@joannasunday]

Didn't Laura Nero write "Eli's Coming"?

[@surlechapeau]

@@joannasunday yes, Laura Nyro wrote Eli's Coming. I clarified my comment. thx

Eli's Coming and One are a couple of great ones, too. Try A Little Tenderness is a cover but they put tha TDN yreatment to it and it bangs, even for a blues cover. Thanks guys! Peace!

Yes! Eli, One, Try a Little, and Mama told me are the four BEST Three Dog Night songs!

[@jhamptonjr]

@@terryroberts2062 I thought of one more...Must Let The Show Go On. Another cover that Leo Sayer had made a hit, but TDN made it their own!

Eli's Coming is a cover as well -- a composition by the late, great Ms. Laura Nyro from the album "Eli and The Thirteenth Confession"....

[@greggbarrett7117]

Eeeeeeliiii's cooooooomiiiiin'

[@kw99190]

Voting for "Out in the Country" by the legendary Paul Williams/Roger Nichols. One of their most beautiful, and recalls the days when we worried about "the ecology."

[@jdw5678]

Absolutely -- I think it's their best ballad (along with "Pieces of April"), and one of the best ballads of 1970.

[@focusstudios1296]

Definitely!

[@cherylstevens9914]

Totally agree. I would put "Sure As I'm Sitting Here" high on the list to do next. Those great lyrics by John Hiatt always stay with me for hours after hearing that song.

[@merlinsclaw]

Three Dog Night had the greatest harmonies. The late Cory Wells on lead, with the incredible Floyd Sneed on drums. Hoyt Axton wrote this gem.

[@skroy8671]

Hoyt Axton? Wow! That's interesting. I would have never guessed, but when I think about it and his writing over the years, I can see where some of these lines could be his for sure! Loved his acting as well.

[@robertacolarette1594]

Cory Wells sang this? So great. Chuck Negron had an incredible voice for lead too. I loved these guys. I remember seeing them in concert in Philadelphia when I was in high school. Fabulous sound.

[@gregsager2062]

@@robertacolarette1594 Negron had the high tenor. Wells was the bluesy, soulful baritone. Danny Hutton had a gruffer baritone that rested higher than Wells'. Thus far, A&A have reacted to three Three Dog Night songs on which Wells sang lead, and one ("Joy to the World") on which Negron sang lead. If they want to hear Hutton's voice spotlighted, they should listen to "Liar" or "Black and White" (both big hits), or TDN's cover version of Elton John's "Your Song". In "The Family of Man", in which each of the three singers takes the lead on a verse, Hutton's is verse one.

[@michaelgallagher3640]

Saw Three Dog Night & America 3 times, 2 of the best harmony driven groups ever. IMHO

[@mesawolff2233]

Hey Andy and Alex, you guys are the best, what I consider of the “younger generation” truly having a genuine interest and understanding/passion of all the older building blocks of music history.. I always watch and just wanted to let you know I look forward to your impressions and breakdowns of songs/artists. BTW, I grew up in laurel canyon in the 1970s and we picked up the guys from three dog night hitch hiking a few times😁 fantastic band. Thanks

[@bobangell1679]

Amen to that.

[@dawnknox4640]

I agree I have been watching for 3 4 years

[@RobinT-treehugger]

Their sound comes from the fact they had 3 lead singers. All 3 had unique powerful voices, all different styles, and meshed so well together.

[@kconway01]

"Liar" is underrated. Saw "Three Dog Night" a couple of years ago and they were still great.

[@xmoomoo9158]

Unfortunately there is only one of the original singers in the band now! Cory passed away and Chuck hasn’t been with them for years.

[@kconway01]

Yes, so sad.

[@moniphil]

Written by Hoyt Axton (born in OK). He also wrote Joy to the World. Both songs are on his 1971 album Joy to the World. His mother wrote Heartbreak Hotel, Elvis’ huge hit.

A much-needed 70s palate cleanser to chase away the lingering aftertaste of that bad 80s Kate Bush song. The 70s just hit different -- the soul, the real instruments, the whole vibe.

@@Live2swim - NO! That’s fine once you know the song, but as a first listen it’s an awful idea!

[@Live2swim]

I disagree.. Jamel loved their live shows. Because 3 Dog Night is great live. And Andy and Alex subscribers bitched about A&A doing Supertramp's Goodbye Stranger live, rather than reacting to a new song. It will be forever, if ever, before they get to the live version if they don't do it, instead. I've been asking for a certain live show of Fleetwood Mac's The Chain and they can't squeeze it in.

[@doplinger1]

@@Live2swim - nothing wrong with their live stuff. But it's NOT the same as the studio version, it's a bastardized version, worth listening once you know the song.

It's a crying shame TDN isn't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! They had hit, after hit, after hit, in the early 70's. Who really gives a damn that they didn't write their own songs? The music is what counts, and they had some of the best of that era. I recommend "Brickyard Blues", "Out in the Country", and "One".

[@n_beth]

I think its because they didn't write their own music 😕

[@johnsonsabc]

Same reason Joe Cocker isn’t in the Rock Hall.

[@Stoney_Snark]

I really love “One” an early Harry Niilson cover. But for a cover band, they ruled the charts for a while with great songs, and in their own style. Thanks guys!!

[@moniphil]

I wouldn’t really call them a cover band. True cover bands cover hit songs. Three Dog Night was more of an interpreter of outside songwriters’ work.

[@Stoney_Snark]

@@moniphil , yeah what you’re saying is more nuanced. But both this and Joy To The World appeared on the same Hoyt Axton’s album. He also wrote The Pusher, which Steppenwolf made famous.

[@moniphil]

@@Stoney_Snark I know all that. It’s just everyone I’ve known who was in a cover band and every cover band I’ve ever heard in a bar played well-known songs. I’m not trying to argue. I just think that term doesn’t fit very well in this case.

[@ziggymarlowe5654]

"Eli's Coming" is a good one; "Joy to the World" is fun and "One" is a banger. Their harmonies are outstanding no matter the song.

[@deborahstrickland9845]

[@davidburkett4005]

Ditto. Elis Coming is a great example of more harmonies and rock.

[@garyr8739]

I was also going to suggest Eli's Coming and also One. One may be my favorite but they are all good. I believe they already did Joy to the world.

[@davidschecter5247]

The vocals build because they have three lead singers and keep adding people. Next, "Eli's Coming" or "One." Both bangers. Produced by the brilliant Richard Podolor, who I tried to connect with you. Unfortunately, he was ill and passed away last year. One of the best producers of the era out there. If you want to hear a song that'll remind you vocally of Three Dog Night, try The Grass Roots' "Someone to Love" from their excellent MOVE ALONG album, on which they wrote a lot of the songs.

[@shanep231]

I’m sitting here listening to one of my favorites, “Liar”. Definitely a Three Dog Night song that holds its own. They have such a unique sound but each song it’s unto itself.

[@robertsaul234]

Hoyt Axton, the songwriter, played the dad in Gremlins. He wrote Joy to the World, and The Pusher for Steppenwolf, as well. My request from them is The Show Must Go On.

@@elgonwilliams7624 He also did an episode of WKRP in Cincinatti - I remember that because that was the first time I heard the deep bass voice of his.

They were a KILLER band. Excellent arrangements, funky, country, rock, soft. This band did it all with expertise.

[@pattyliedel6485]

That build is so organic, starts out low and mystical, ends up off-charts gnarly. Surprise, surprise!

[@Mubi333]

“Out in the Country” is another beautiful song.☺️

[@redsologlass8768]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!! Now you must listen to THE SHOW MUST GO ON. another huge BANGER.!!

[@paulharris8364]

The song was written and originally recorded my Hoyt Axton. He also wrote Joy to The World. Elvis Presley also covered this song.

[@jameskirschling7887]

Eli's Coming should be the next reaction. Andy wants a more rocking song and that song will deliver. Great reaction Andy and Alex.

[@ricksweney4260]

Hi Guys! I recommend “One” next. It was written and released by Harry Nilsson. Three Dog Night covered the song, and it became a hit. You could listen to both-back to back. I’d love to hear your reactions to that.

[@jeffchampagne5587]

When you were prejudging the song I had a huge smile on my face going okay guys just wait just wait… And I was happy to see that you did wait. This was the #1 “let’s smoke some pot” song in college because the opening lines are almost sung in a way that you could envision him having just exhaled before he begins singing.

[@shirleycollins6241]

Eli’s Coming Live (1975) was amazing.

[@marygoodson4920]

Their voices were so great.

[@gregv4741]

Eli's Coming is crazy! Also One is I think their first hit and it's fantastic.

[@bradlandis7]

A&A got it right. I Never Been to Spain is an A+ Banger! Just imagine doing this song at a karaoke bar and by the end the whole bar is singing! Next time I’m in Tampa, we should prove this point!

[@lisamorrison2149]

You hit it on the head. Three Dog Night are a force of creativity and charisma. Great execution. Check out their live version of "Shambala" from Soundstage, 1975.

[@joelhahn2501]

Heck, check out the entire set from that performance!

[@maceomaceo11]

Danny Hutton is on all the drugs in that video. He's high as a kite, drunk, on the ku-kain and probably trippin balls too. Zero in on him for that whole performance (hell, any live performance between 72-75) and it is hilarious to watch him. I'm sure his personal life was rough, but damn did he give it all and perform like a professional 70's rock star should.

[@canadianstudmuffin]

One of the most popular bands in the 70s. Yes, they did a lot of covers but they were a GREAT band. All 7 members. I agree to check out the live video of "Eli's Coming".

[@rorystorm4284]

Eli's Coming is a Laura Nyro song. I would *love* for them to learn more about Laura and her music. What a great, great talent! Many others had BIG hits with her compositions. Great singer/songwriter.

[@lisaharrod8386]

The whole tune is a crescendo...as it escalates, so do the fantastic vocal harmonies. The band jams along for the ride...the lyrics are tongue in cheek, clever, memorable... A classic in the annals of rock and roll.

[@philipfreedom2773]

Their keyboard player was exceptional! Try their song Liar if you want them sounding intense.

[@tb6791]

I was just saying that we all forgot about Liar... Except for you 🤘

[@kennethandrysiak4130]

Always great whenever The Dogs are coming out of the music box. All the suggestions below are worthy... Three Dog Night can’t be pigeonholed into any musical style. Every single demonstrated a different musical direction. Super talented vocalists and musicians. For my money... you must listen to ‘Liar’.

[@beauteoussounds1156]

Best way to listen to TDN is to watch them sing. It’s unfathomable those three voices are coming out of those three guys. Blows my mind every time I watch them sing!

[@IamMusicNerd]

The line “I’ve never been to England, but I kind of like the Beatles” would be normal nowadays, but keep in mind that when this song was written the Beatles were still contemporary, and had just recently broken up. So at that time, that line was interesting.

[@AjaxCaper]

👍 👍 👍 You're going to love them live. Check out Eli's Coming. The one with foot lights all around the stage.

[@TheConservativeinaction]

Yeah that statement is great. "Ive never been to heaven but Ive been to Oklahoma." You got to hit one. Its a nasty banger with amazing lyrics and his voice shines even more than mama told me. Their first hit and it was a banger. Its a must. Its a A+ or even S tier song. You wont be dissapointed. Never been to spain was such a fun song. Glad you hit it.

[@elainemarsh5170]

I never for one moment doubted how much you guys were going to like this. My absolute favorite from this group.

[@stuartalexander2657]

Written by the great Hoyt Axton. That gorgeous guitar solo drove me nuts for years until I learned that it was done on pedal steel guitar. One of their all time best.

[@cooldos679]

React to INXS. ‘Need you tonight’ ‘new sensation’ or ‘never tear us apart’ good places to start

[@doobiedave9686]

If you guys want to hear a couple of bangers by 3 Dog Night you have to check out Eli's Coming and Liar. 👍🤘✌️

[@RCP3Kids]

The guitar work made the song for sure. Grittty, toned-out and country rock mix was unheard of at the time

[@SpuzzyLargo]

"One" (written by Harry Nilsson) was their first hit, and deservedly so. It's GRRRREAT!

[@elizabethfranco1284]

A banger of a band one of my favorites

[@marybostick428]

I really hope you’ll hit “Liar”

[@mikeziegler7008]

If you want something heavy out of 3 Dog Night, give "Liar" a listen. There are several versions on KZbin. The sound quality on live versions are not nearly as good as on the studio versions...

[@jdw5678]

Ooh yes! "Liar" is such a solid, menacing tune that builds gradually and then punches out at the end. Great suggestion!

[@bryanschmalz4132]

Yes!

[@focusstudios1296]

Liar is awesome! The meters do a great, very different version of it too

[@jamesjrdollenmeyer8301]

@@jdw5678 The song about ex wives?

Also, One Man Band

[@sharoncarlisle9453]

I work at the University of Oklahoma, and I have an OU hoodie that says, "I've never been to heaven, but I've been to Oklahoma." It's such a cool song.

[@WMalven]

If you want nasty, check out "One" (written by Harry Neilson) or "Chest Fever" (written by The Band). Both are real BANDGERS!!! Both are spectacular and on the Live at the Forum album.

[@Wordsmyth8]

Probably my favorite 3 Dog Night song. It was so different for them. That steel guitar was so unexpected and I love it. Also love Eli’s Coming and One.

[@elvismansoncpa]

The live album is "Captured Live at The Forum". Amazing renditions of Chest Fever (The Band) Eli's Coming (Laura Nyro) and Try A Little Tenderness.

[@joannemoyer5525]

Stilll one of my favorite live albums
