We keep listening to Three Dog Night - Shambala (Reaction!)

Not only does the 70's have some of the best music, but also a generally positive attitude. Real hippies are hopeful.

As a hippie..or flower child if you will...we had fabulous music and amazing muscle cars...at 70 years old I remember it like it was yesterday...enjoy what your grannies left as a legacy...❤❤❤

Absolutely agree!

[@BluenoserJo]

The Three Dog Night rabbit hole is a deep one, my friend. If you want more positive Three Dog Night vibes try Joy to the World and Black and White.

Let us not forget about "Old Fashioned Love Song!"

[@karencox3235]

Yes! That one was written by Paul Williams who wrote SO many hits! GREAT song!

[@karencox3235]

Williams also wrote You And Me Against The World, Rainy Days and Mondays, We've Only Just Begun, Evergreen and The Rainbow Connection and MANY others. What a gem! His brother, Mentor, wrote Drift Away for Dobie Gray (and later Uncle Cracker did a cover).

Old Fashioned Love Song was one of my favorites 💕

[@melaniepatton2451]

I am 73 years old. I lived in Hollywood from 1954 to 1976. My brother Joe was 8 years older and went to school with Danny Hutton. I was inforst grade when they were in eighth grade at Blessed Sacrament Parochial School. They graduated and went on to Notre Dame High in Sherman Oaks, near Hollywood. They were close friends. I remember when Danny Hutton brought his first car over to our house. They graduated from high school in 1961. They kept in touch until my brother passed away in 2003. Every time I hear Three Dog Night songs it takes me back to my youth.

[@jeffreycaldwell8579]

Three Dog Night was HUGE in the '70's!!!! They had many huge hits...Joy To The World is one of the most known songs on the planet...Even today many children know Joy To The World!!! Huge, Huge Rabbit Hole to go down but it is worth the journey!!!

Three Dog Night. The days of my youth. Thank you for the memories!! Love these guys! RIP Cory Wells

[@scottgorski7931]

You CANNOT go wrong with Three Dog Night. A MONSTER hit machine on the radio in the 70's. Yeah, I remember hearing a lot of their songs for the first time on the radio after dinner while doing high school homework.

[@pauljtee9141]

This song came out in the summer of 1975 and I remember loving listening to it on my way to the beach.

[@richardbuchko4910]

One of my reasons for watching reaction videos is how enjoyable it is to watch the reaction of young men to music they never knew existed. Having grown up with it, live with it, I was shocked to learn that so many younger guys had not heard it.

[@ostar4evaz]

Corey Wells voice reached right out of the radio and grabbed my 12 year old ears... loved his voice since.

[@fondasarff9701]

There's something very satisfying seeing folks younger than me (an understatement) discovering music from a time when singers sang, harmony existed on vynal, and men didn't sound like screaming 12 year old girls mindlessly chanting. Keep exploring!!!

[@denisekeary8229]

Sebs - it would great for you to watch one of the live 3 Dog Night videos for Shambala. Cory is the lead vocalist in this one. The smiles on his face throughout this performance is magic.

[@robt7199]

The Sound Stage concert from 75 is great....

[@lindalou6105]

They always look like they're having a blast

[@danithompson8743]

Midnight Special performance

[@skentmar105]

I saw them in 1970 or 1971 at the Oklahoma Fairgrounds in OKC. Great concert; bell-bottoms, flaired pants and big-collared shirts everywhere. The first time I heard "Your Song" (Elton John) was a cover by 3DN (it was Oklahoma, what can I say).

[@snowdove0917]

We were all about peace, love and rock and roll. The seventies were an amazing time to be alive. The music was fantastic. We didn't care what political party or religion people were. The 70's had issues but we were happy. Far-out and groovy 😎 times. ❤😊

[@jodip699]

First time I heard it was on the radio. I yelled..."omgosh, that's Cory singing!!!" My favorite too, btw. Had to call my cousin and tell her that Three dog night had a new song out. This was the days before KZbin, MTV, etc. So we just had to keep listening until it was played again. So many other great songs that you'd live to hear!!!

[@MrZerakian]

I do not remember the exact day that I first heard this song, however I can say that for many MANY years (starting in the mid 80's) I heard this song (and other Three Dog Night songs) when my dad would bring me fishing. He didn't grow up "country," having lived in Pittsburgh his entire childhood so these were the songs I heard when we went fishing/hunting/camping. I was lucky to have him around for the first 32 years of my life and these reactions to the classics bring me back!

[@singluna888]

It's fun to see young people appreciate the music of yesterdays.

[@kengoodsmith5437]

They got dissed for performing other people’s work, but they had a great sense of what they could do with material, and executed it flawlessly.

[@dawnackley2160]

Yeah, they ultimately decided to focus on other songwriters' music because they squabbled so much about their own.

[@amiinsc7775]

I love watching your videos as you discover the great music I grew up with!

[@sedatedape315]

This is one of many song from that era that when it's played at a gathering/party someone from across the room always hollers "TURN IT UP!"

[@johnandrews3151]

Three Dog Night/Pieces Of April😮😊 Arguably their most mellow hit record❤😊

[@terri2494]

I keep forgetting that “Pieces of April” is a TDN song. It has more of a Bread feeling, except that the voice is not David Gates. It is a beautiful song.

[@richschuster1097]

[@genabourassa7962]

[@genabourassa7962]

[@LoisChisholm]

The first time I heard "Shambala" was at a Three Dog Night concert (1971 or 72). They were introducing some of their new songs that would be coming out on their new album that was about to be released. That audience got to hear it before it was ever aired on the radio. Everybody LOVED it.

[@andrewpetik2034]

I remember hearing this on the radio all those years ago.....so many memories. The 1970s were filled some beautiful, hopeful music.

[@M_ondo]

The great singer and my favorite also is the late great Cory Welles. Definitely one of my favorite groups in my 60 plus yrs listening to music.

[@sharonlash3630]

I love seeing another generation interpret and appreciate this music.

[@southernbella6535]

We were just coming out of the "summer of love" mind set in 69 which spread on in to the early 70's . Hippies were studying different ways to express what they felt through mystical beliefs. I remember this song on the radio EVERY DAY as a kid 6-7 yo, my dad had the album and wore it out on the record player. These guys were just awesome singers and the live show is on youtube of this song. ITs longer play and worth the watch. TY for this one, always a favorite.

[@andynicoll8566]

I used to play in a duo with an awesome singer/ 12 string player. Sunday nights all the working musicians would hang at a local open stage. Mike and I started playing Shambala and by the end of the song we had a full band and back singers as they joined us on stage. It is one of my best memories of that time. Needless to say the song lasted much longer than usual. Thanks for the reminder.

[@nancygalusha3299]

I’m 60 and have seen 3 Dog Night twice in the past 8 years. They’re old but still fantastic!

[@williamtauriello1581]

Cory Wells and Danny Hutton of TDN lived in my old neighborhood of West Seneca,NY. Needless to say, they were our local rock stars. With that said, Shambala is my favorite song from their collection. Thanks for covering!

[@Qlassyone]

I never knew that. I grew up in Elma. Small world.

[@DawnSuttonfabfour]

The best covers band ever. "I've never been to Spain" is golden. The years they were most active they almost outsold The Beatles. Word.

[@KimberlyBrown-ud7wb]

That song make me want to go to Spain

[@pageribe2399]

I got to see them live in the seventies. Fantastic day, that was.

[@jollyrodgers7272]

These guys were a ton of fun - a cover band with THREE lead singers! They propelled a lot of obscure songwriters into fame and fortune by churning out hit after hit in the early '70s, like; JOY TO THE WORLD (Jeremiah was a bullfrog), NEVER BEEN TO SPAIN, MAMMA TOLD ME NOT TO COME, TRY A LITTLE TENDERNESS, ONE, AN OLD FASHIONED LOVE SONG, PIECES OF APRIL, BLACK AND WHITE .... I think I was in 8th grade first time hearing SHAMBALA.

[@ronstoner1823]

😂 I grew up in the country just outside of a tiny town of 1200 people, and I remember when I was in the first grade our bus driver would play this song on the 8 track player on the bus on the way to school. Love this song still!

[@beckysmith513]

Three Dog Night was my favorite musical group when I was a teenager. I listened to them all the time, had all their albums. I haven't really thought about them in too many years, but it's great to see them again and see you enjoy their music like I did!

[@Treasacello]

In 1975, my mother was getting her masters degree in music theory. The streets around campus were lined all around with huge old live oaks that cast dappled shade. It was always at least 10 degrees cooler under those trees that it was in the green spaces. We'd go to the print shop for paper for her to type her thesis and we'd get Flair razor point pens in a rainbow of colors. We'd wander around the edge of the campus where there were little shops full of different odds and ends that were amazing. No pressure, no stress, just melting ice cream and cobblestone roads... and this song. (there were others)

This format spreads a whole range of genres that are expanding our minds and our hearts! Awesome work you are doing!

[@janerkenbrack3373]

The concept of Three Dog Night was to have three male singers who could sing harmony but also sing leads. They had a string of top ten hits, with three number ones. Interestingly, they each sang lead on one of the number one hits.

[@hlawrencepowell]

What can I say that hasn't already been said about the music of the 1970s? Oh, one thing: the people like me who grew up with it were shaped by the many moral and ethical lessons, and the often upbeat and optimistic lyrics and music. We hit our stride in the 1980s but by then the next generation was on to something new that was more commercialism and materialism. Yes, we were rebellious and cynical, but we used it to push for freedom and justice. As a societal movement there has been nothing like it since.

[@ericoh123]

I was 14 when this came out. I'd already been playing guitar in a gigging band two years. 3DN has chart songs out the wazoo; Shambala set a most fitting and well-embedded ethereal vibe during early-mid '70's period with massive tons of am/fm airplay. 3DN was cool, yet also didn't offend our parents, unlike Black Sabbath's and Alice Cooper's stuff back then!

[@roxanneherrman2107]

Pretty good Rabbit Hole band, I saw them live in Lima Ohio about 15 or 20 years ago. Not sure how many members were the originals but the long haired guy was one of them. Sounded about the same as in the 70s. Two of my favorite Rabbit Hole bands where you just can't run out of great songs from them are Steely Dan and Supertramp. Two bands that pretty much define the word Musicians.

Just to give you a mindset of that era a girl could hitchhike all over the United States and never fear of being assaulted not to say she wasn't being flurted with but for the most part never feared being harmed it was actually a major means of youth transportation and when we had parties and gatherings everyone was welcome with open arms what we had you had and for the most part everybody got along just great there were those occasional times but for the most we were all just happy to be. And if you listen to the music from that era the majority was peaceful music loving music caring music we all sung about what we believed in it was a very peaceful time even though there was a Vietnam war going on and we protested against all the killings we truly did just want to see everybody get along and enjoy life to the fullest

[@xkrickett]

Three Dog Night has been part of my music memories as long as I can remember. Joy to the World is one of the first songs I can remember singing as a kid. Who isn't friends with Jeremiah the Bullfrog?
