The Doobie Brothers have the one of, if not the most, feel good vibes from any band I've covered on this channel so far. Really enjoyed this song.

The Doobie Brothers music has stood the test of time. It's worth it to explore their catalog. Like other have said, "Black Water" is a gem.

[@lionheartroar3104]

Black Water was originally the b side of one of their 45's. Deejays flipped the record and made it a national hit!

[@jeremyshelman9716]

@@lionheartroar3104 That's an amazing story. Can't imagine ever putting that as a B side.

[@dagmar.6954]

The Doobie Brothers are an American rock band that have been around for 5 decades. They covered many genres of music over the years. They had so many great songs such as "Black Water", "Jesus Is Just Alright", "China Grove", "Takin' It To The Streets", "The Doctor", "It Keeps You Runnin'", "Echoes Of Love", "You Belong To Me", "Take Me In Your Arms" etc.

[@JeffMartinEquinox]

left out Long Train Running...

[@williamscoggin1509]

Everything about the Doobie Brothers music is uplifting and happy. That was basically their mission. 🎉👍🏻🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@farmerphil22]

My fav of the Doobies is by far "Black Water", but I would listen to a couple others of theirs first, because to me this is their best. Can't go wrong listening to the Doobie Bros.

[@kevinkilduff2064]

For my money the Doobies are America's rock band. For over 50 years this band has stood the test of time, producing great music and iconic songs that are hummed, sung and danced to my millions. BTW, these greats are still rocking and still sound damned good, even in their early 70s!

[@JeffMartinEquinox]

I have to say i like the studio version of this quite a bit better, but this was fun seeing them.

[@brentgunderson1349]

Agreed. Almost without fail I prefer recorded versions over live.

[@jamesjay7499]

Watch "use me" live by Bill Withers and then listen to the record version. There are some really great live performances but you never know what you are gonna get! Also Van Halens version of the Best of both Worlds " live is phenomenal and I can't listen to the studio version anymore bc Eddie just gets his flare going and the whole part gets a little more feel! Highly recommend

[@mattshaw6180]

The Doobies' song "Black Water" will introduce you to a whole new flavor of 1970s groove; don't miss it.

[@traci4187]

It is really fun watching you discover music that had so much influence on future music. So keep doing what you're doing!

[@jasonremy1627]

"Black Water" is a great song. It features Patrick Simmons on lead vocals, and it's so vibey. It puts you in a place...

[@sylvanaire]

I‘ve loved their songs for decades & this is the 1st time I‘ve ever seen their faces, lol.

[@chelsea6804]

Yaaay! This is one of my favorite bands from my childhood. My mom took me to a few of their concerts when I was super little, so their music always makes me smile. And sing along. Thanks for the reaction!

[@juliewolfe168]

Huge smile! This song gives me happy feet from the very first note!!! Love the Doobie Brothers!!!

[@juliewolfe168]

Hi

[@juliewolfe168]

I don't know how to add you as a contact on telegram.

[@rebeccalipps23]

The Doobies are a feel-good group. Not showy or flashy but, oozing with talent. "Black Water" & "China Grove" are my favorites.

[@SC-gp7kt]

With just a handful of exceptions, always always ALWAYS make your first listen of a song the original studio/radio edit. On this one, in particular, you would've been able to hear an aspect of sound travel predominantly from one ear to the other (I'm sure there's a technical name for this effect, but I don't know it), among other subtleties, not present in this live version. I'm not mad at ya, just some food for thought.

[@jamesedwards9544]

Great reaction!!! Stevie ray vaughn Texas flood live from elmacambo HAS to be on your bucket list!!!

[@izzonj]

That rising bass line really gives that feel good feel

[@greekadmirer2204]

Classic 70,s …What a gem ❤❤❤

[@kmwwrench]

Loved this way back in the 70's. Such a happy song. Now it's in a tie with the Home Free cover, which I know you've reacted to. So glad you're discovering all the fabulous music from the 60's and 70's

[@bearballin]

When I first heard LTTM on the radio, it sounded like rock music w a country flair. The added banjo on the studio version will take you there. Overall it's a feel good song... If you give a listen to their song "Black Water" they dive deeper into the country sound w a fiddle solo and barber shop quartet harmonies/vocals.

[@Kate98755]

they came to our state fair a couple years ago, i had to be inna booth, their sound was incredible, like someone had put on the record, so soothing for us who spent our teen years listening to this

[@greenworm7915]

On of the best rock bands ever!! ❤❤❤

[@ChelseyWinnie101]

My favorite of the Doobie Brothers is this song ("Listen to the Music") and "What a Fool Believes". Both are awesome. Many good songs from them. They did a good job keeping this live version close to the studio version. I always like when bands keep the song sounding like the studio version since that's what we expect to hear. Great review.

[@sergebrunet4218]

Ya ! well i love the studio version ! that one was to promote themselves ! seems like they don t hear themselves as good here ! but they did it and they really didn t need to do that to make themselves popular ! really the original that we all know is an instant hit !

[@truckrboat]

The Midnight Special was the shower all stayed up on Friday night to watch our favorite bands of that era. The sound was typically terrible and most of them would come on and be a little flat. But we didn’t care because anyone who had a hit we could see on that show!!

[@danacasey8543]

Oh, reminds me of high school! Dancing in my room and on the phone with my besties!

[@cliftonparago4547]

Because the founders of the band were from the Gulf Coast area you heard some country and jazz influence along with country-rock (think Hank Williams Jr.).

[@terrystewart7675]

China Grove is a great hard driving song.

[@williethebeerman]

The Doobie Brothers is a very deep rabbit hole. Just search Doobie Brothers a pick one. there are SO many great songs!!!!

[@Hartlor_Tayley]

Great reaction. Maybe try their song “ Clear as the Driven Snow” or “Ukiah”. Doobies were a fine California band with lots of great songs.

[@donnaj9769]

Black water & Long Train Running are must listens & would recommend the studio versions first. Blackwater is my go to song to put me in a happy place! Hear it once & you’ll be able to sing along! Great reaction, as always welcome to a new rabbit hole. As others have said, Three Dog Night (Joy to The World…and that’s not the Christmas song…and Momma Told Me Not To Come) are also worth a listen.

[@kimclark4862]

OMG. How DOES he do it ?!

[@Lionize728]

Man these guys were good.

[@rk41gator]

Keep on Stummblin' and go with your taste. Can't go wrong.

[@landrelarose745]

There's another fact I'm able to type to you about. The person who played the banjo in the studio version was James Taylor.

[@dgator3599]

You should do the studio version first....for the really great bands, you appreciate the live performances so much better when you realize they sound the same as if they were in the studio. I saw them live in 1987; they are awesome!!

[@andrewvail5458]

Another great tune! 😎

[@dawncarpenter9869]

They are a great band. Three Dog Night is similar genre per se. I think you would like them too. Linkin Park song The End. If you want a switch up. Lol Your great. Really enjoy your channel.

[@billness7310]

Long Train Running at Smile Time Doobie Brothers favorite

[@noraelliott7304]

Taking it to the Streets, It Keeps you Running are 2more great one by the the Doobie Brothers.😊

[@grannymitch6707]

Love these guys, and glad you enjoyed them … but I agree with others here and prefer the studio version. They do live very well (they’re still touring, I believe), but the studio version really rocks. This sounded a little flat - and the absence of the banjo is very noticeable. Black Water is another excellent choice. As a side note (and since I’m a Home Fry and can’t help myself), you might check out Home Free’s version of this song. It’s (as always) amazing!

[@TrianglesAndCircles]

Happy faces everywhere!

[@supobostarman]

Hey I had a couple decades to learn and love these bands, so you won't do it in just a few years. But you've got a great start!!! I'm a bit jealous of the journey you're on was once mine ages ago it seems! Keep it up, you have so much I credible music yet to discover from the 70s and 80s!

[@robinarmour957]

You need to listen to the Album version. It's so much more polished.

[@chadheckman2693]

I also recommend studio versions of their songs as well. The quality is so much better. "Black Water", "Jesus Is Just Alright", "China Grove", "Takin' It to The Streets" Enjoy!

[@jackieperrydore8231]

If you have not done three dog night you must. So many to choose from but not to the world is a great place to start.

[@cazgerald9471]

I love double drummers the way I love amps that go to eleven 8-P

[@marilyn4917]

I’ve seen them perform this live and they had a few extra people up there with them and it was absolutely amazing. Much better than this appearance on the midnight special. This version is good but it’s a little stripped down so it doesn’t have the effect that it has when I’ve seen them appear live in other appearances or venues. There’s a few other videos out there as well Of this song with them performing it and I hope you get a chance to see if you more. I saw them tour a few years back with the group Chicago. Both bands have been performing for over 50 years now. And they sounded just as good live as they did when they were youngsters.

[@TheBergy4]

Check out Garth Brooks and Billy Joel singing New York State of Mind live in Central Park concert! Awesome!

[@stpnwlf9]

The guitarist on the left is Patrick Simmons who played the banjo on the studio version. Almost all their songs, at least in the early years, were written by Pat Simmons and Tom Johnston (the lead singer here). Both of them wrote songs that were big hits. Personally, I always like Pat Simmons compositions a little better but both musicians are excellent. Later, Michael McDonald would join the Doobies and his songs had a very different feel compared to the earlier work.

[@shezarae8827]

You need to listen to, South City Midnight Lady by these guys. Also, Black Water.

[@Felice369]

Studio version is so worth a listen. Lots of harmonies that you don't hear in this live version. Peace.

[@davidgale7384]

It Kees You Running What a Fool Believes These are when Michael McDonald joined the band just after he had been brought in to play keyboards and sing harmonies during the tour befor these songs.

[@sailinbob11]

If ya like the Doobie Brothers you should check out the Atlanta Rhythm Section.

[@williamharris7357]

They got their name from weed smoking that's what hippies in the 70s called joints doobies😎🤟🫁

[@landrelarose745]

Did you know that this song continues to be their absolute best? The studio version of it is better than the live version.

[@inukshuksixtyfour1164]

👍👍👍💓🎶

[@johnkemper1130]

Notice two drummers. There is a story behind that!!

[@senaparker5181]

Try "South City Midnight Lady".....very nice👌🏽🎶❤️

[@periwinkle1955]

If you're loving the 'feel good' vibes of the Doobie Brothers, two other rabbit holes you might consider are Three Dog Night ("Joy to the World" kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaqsYoJ_oqlqpdk) and Creedence Clearwater Revival ("Looking out my Back Door" kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5LIkIV-h9WniMk)

[@crowleybo]

👍

[@melissakhalar1842]

I feel old, I had a couple of their albums on 8 track. Lol

[@donmehl556]

The Doobie Brothers are very good. On a little heavier note, another California band you should give a listen to is Spirit. Either the Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus (When I Touch You) or the Family That Plays Together (either Aren't You Glad or It's All the Same). Very hot minimalist lead guitar solo by Randy on Aren't You Glad. Maybe 3 notes but excellently played.

[@mariesmith6494]

You should check out Home Free's cover version of this song. It's amazing!

[@dessashepherd1816]

The Captain and Me is my favorite all time album! Every song is great! Check it out!

[@timmypyron2830]

With big bands and their top songs you should always do studio version first you could always go back down the road and do live versions. Of course it's up to you but that would be my suggestion, It's just not the same

[@Kate98755]

blues rock

[@kmach1000]

Love them! But the studio version is much better, though.

[@kirbybailey607]

Did you notice they have two drummers?

[@steadfastmom5]

Black Water. You gotta hear Black Water.

[@extracaliber432]

I keep rollin I keep rollin I keep rollin and I can't stop, rollin and I can't stop, It's driving me out of my mind. (just sayin)

[@doorsofperception65]

You have to listen to CHICAGO to best guitar player ever!!!!!

[@jodij6280]

I grew up on The Doobie Brothers and this is a case where the studio version is better.

[@donaldromesburg1902]

I personally think the Doobie Brothers are better than the eagles. Don't get me wrong, both are fantastic groups and deserves my respect. Yet the Doobie Brothers music has something about it that touches my soul .

[@MrJd0508]

Studio version is better.

[@jamesfarrington9030]

No Tom Johnston, no Doobies.

[@MoMoMyPup10]

Pales in comparison to the studio version. The soundscape is too thin, and not getting anywhere near the full spectrum the song deserves.
