Doobies already had a greatest hits album around 1976. This is one great American band.

[@suecook1326]

2 words... "Black Water" A masterpiece! Great reaction channel, guys!

[@wthforever]

Love Black Water!

[@joebarrera9741]

One of the most classic intros in music history

[@robertschiavone5159]

I grew up in the right era of music over 50 years later and it still sounds great

Every song that you react to from the 70’s (1973) you solidify that the 70”s was the best generation for music ! 🔥❤️🎸

[@angelav9377]

Ain’t that the truth… lived it …loved it …wish I could go back!

[@jimr3882]

The 60's would like a word with you.

[@angelav9377]

@@jimr3882 okay the 60’s too! When you’re right you’re right…

[@brasstacks7181]

I still listen to this driving down the highway in my car, window down, wind in hair. Beautiful groove. One of the Doobie's best.

[@kevinhodgins1811]

Just saw these guys live last night. In their mid 70s, and they still bring it. Played nonstop for almost two and a half hours....25 songs! Absolute legends!

[@johnhoerl7326]

Gotta give some love to Tiran Porter, one of my favorite bass players. He never takes the obvious route, always playing something interesting that acts as a counterpoint to the main melody while still driving the song forward. And a great singer too!

[@CharCanuck14]

Doobie harmony wouldn't be the same without Tiran's voice.

[@Hawk-ODA212]

Spot on!! I started learning bass a couple of years ago and Tiran Porter created some of the most incredible bass lines I have ever heard. Beyond my current skill level, but working on getting there.

[@1Hiprascal]

Tiran's a great player. It's his playing that first got me to follow the bass line in music. I still consider him to be one of the best.

[@daledodson1279]

One of my favorite Doobies songs is Tiran’s “For Someone Special “ ! Great bass and great vocals!

[@sira.scottascot8865]

Some fantastic bass parts. Very original. Love his tone. Fat with what sounds like fresh flatwounds. That tone kills me.

[@danhall2197]

The REAL DOOBIE BROS.Love it.

[@kaybee4143]

A lot of us old school Doobie Brothers fans moved on to greener pastures when Michael McDonald took them in the "Minute by Minute" direction.

[@ragjamrock]

My favourite Doobie brothers song. I just love that funky Gm7 chord driving the rhythm throughout the song and keeping the train runnin'. The early Doobies with Tom Johnston is the sound that I prefer. 🎶👍🏽

[@johnshannon9656]

Great band. Many excellent songs.

[@josephtedrick7706]

The Doobies were the soundtrack at our house.

[@chazfromtheburg]

70's music just hits different

[@lisarousseau788]

It sure does! The BEST music ever in my opinion so thankful I lived then to experience it all!

[@BigC.]

One of their finest.

[@edwardcapobianco2975]

This song cooks, my favorite doobies song

[@airun130]

Saw Doobies live last year with Michael McDonald and Tom Johnston. OUTSTANDING!

[@gj8683]

They come with the intention that their audience will have a good time. Saw them in the late 70s and it was the same.

[@CharCanuck14]

I'm envious!!

[@highpsi11]

The musicianship and composing was excellent regardless of whether it was at the beginning, middle or the most mature stage of their careers.

[@jw688]

This was our jam song in marching band when I was in high school back in the 80's. We had so much fun with this song. The crowd always enjoyed it too. Good times.

[@curtisduncanmusic7645]

"Long Train Running" is from the album, "The Captain and Me" which was part of the soundtrack for the Seventies and a lot of great music. That whole album is worth listening to!

[@donaldjackson1490]

An engineering and mix masterpiece…..you can clearly hear all the instruments in their own space

[@thomascerulli8013]

I’m Tommy, I’m 61 now and am a huge fan of your reactions. I can give you perspective on a man that lived when this music was coming out. The Doobies have always been an extremely under rated band. Check out Jesus is just all right. People may disagree with me. But it’s their best song. I wish you both Peace and success. 😎

[@jhamptonjr]

Oh I love that song too! And by the way I'm 64! Peace and love y'all!

[@scottblakey1603]

That was originally a Buffalo Springfield song by Roger McGuinn.

[@brewstergallery]

@@scottblakey1603 I think you meant the Byrds ??

[@martinl8574]

I'm 63, it truly was an amazing era!

[@jhamptonjr]

@@martinl8574 there will never be another one like that. Peace!

[@sharilynbratton6476]

One of my all time fave songs ever!!

[@gcats6059]

They sounded AMAZING 3 weeks ago!! Steve Winwood opened for them and sounded AMAZING!

[@ML-un1oi]

A great time for music. Just my opinion. The best Era for music. Thanks fellas for a great reaction!. Appreciate you 🙏 ❤

[@yvonnestevens6179]

Part of soundtrack of life❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@suesmith7968]

❤️ the pre-MMcD Doobies. I’ve seen them live without him, and with him, then all of them and their families at the Ventura County Fair. I’ve also seen a solo Tom Johnston. They will always be a favorite!! ☮️❤️

[@gustavogutierrez9086]

Great groove and great reaction, gents!

[@stonehobson2487]

In the 70's this intro riff was one of the first you learned on a guitar. A combination of strumming and picking unique to Tom Johnston. Thanks for the fun memory.

[@marlew6629]

Absolute Killer band of musicians.

[@leslie8743]

A joy to hear this again. ❤

[@1bigrowdy]

This was originally just a intro jam .The fans response was always so big they decided to put words to it..

[@thekingcobra63]

Doobies always kick ass! ROLL TIDE!

[@michaelfried3123]

Pass the dutchie on the left hand side brothers!

[@MicheleJane]

Love the Doobies!!

[@SPohl-zy4rz]

Lovin' the Tom Johnston rocker vibe here. Both he and McDonald were awesome leads. Whether it's rock or R&B, you can't go wrong with the Doobies.

[@dianawhite637]

Love them! Funky, soulful! Oh that harmonica! Makes you want to move and groove!❤️

[@JAWjaw-hl9xs]

Love the Doobies, grew up listening to them...

[@jonnno243]

been loving this song since i was a teenager 50 years ago. ty for playing it guys.

[@susanmurray7654]

This isxmy favecof thiers

[@cherrypickerguitars]

The Doobies “What Were Once Vices are now Habits” was the sound track to my summer, the year it came out! Couldn’t get it off the record player! Peace

[@markharbin9945]

Oh yeah love this jam

[@johnbember3425]

Tommy Johnston (lead vocals on this track) came down with serious stomach issues and was replaced by McDonald and the band transitioned to a more laid back sound. A few years later Johnston returned, McDonald left and they returned to the rock sound to this day. Saw Three Dog Night in concert around 1972 and the Doobies, who nobody had ever heard of at the time, were the opening act and blew the roof off the place. A couple of weeks later Listen To The Music hit the airwaves.

[@MollieC-uc1fk]

Early Doobies vs. McDonald Doobies. Tom left the band for personal reasons and then came back. They are still in concert using both singers so yeah, check em out. Got to see the Tom version in college in the 70s.

[@josephrodgers3119]

They are Brothers in the art of great music and toke💭💨

[@HG-cv4ru]

Love the reaction. Love the bass, love the guitar, love the muted guitar strums. Love the harmonies. Love the driving nature of the song.

[@melanieredfield9736]

Takes me back to my teen years! The Doobies had a great groove... and those bongos added special sauce! Music from the 70's was fantastic. I enjoy watching younger generations discovering for themselves how talented the songwriters, instrumentalists and vocalists were to lay down tracks like this, without auto tune and other enhancements. No disrespect to today's artists--- because there are some great ones---but I wish everybody under 30 would listen to a few songs like this from 50 years ago to experience authentically great talent. Thanks for opening your minds to rock, funk, blues, and all the other genres that we got to enjoy. Hope it will keep this music alive and well!!

[@denisetowe895]

My fav Doobies song! Doobies were/are the best in any decade! Thanks for listening…love y’all and I love your shirt! Roll Tide 🤗

[@clifton8929]

The Doobie Brothers group's first half-dozen albums had a rock feel that morphed into a sound steeped in white funk. It's a compelling story of changing with the times and the influences of the music they loved. So in their way, they had two careers and a wider appeal to more people. That's what good music is all about. It's all good.

[@danw2276]

LOTS OF LOVE FOR THE BROTHERS

[@darlenefalin9187]

Love the Doobie Brothers..

[@danconroy8293]

Ist concert at 16,and my love of the Doobies started!

[@TeresaMount-t9o]

All Doobies music great! My favorite band.

[@jonathansmith3742]

Without The Doobies where would you be now? Decades of listening and a couple of concerts, still groovin to the reactions of this killer stuff. Thanks guys.

[@EvelynBrown-g5w]

That's my favorite Doobie Bros song! Love that band.

[@donaldwhite1928]

Doobie brother were me and my friends party group back in our days

[@midnightrambler7716]

The album this is from, The Captain and Me was released 50 years ago. I bought it that same year, when I was 13 on the advice of my older brother. Still love every track to this day and it is still one of my top 10 favorite all time albums. Not a weak track on there and worthy of an entire album reaction. Highlights for me include the Johnston and Simmons guitar opus Without You, Clear as the Driven Snow, Ukiah and Dark Eyed Cajun Woman. Jeff Skunk Baxter also of Steely Dan fame played pedal steel guitar on South City Midnight Lady…another banger. Shameful that it took till 2020 for these musical geniuses to be inducted into the R & R Hall of Fame!

[@denisem6790]

beautiful - still holds up 2023

[@blackwolf6082]

That ent album was what got me into them. Tom Johnston is a beast

[@suesmith7968]

Same! I saw him when he went on his own - early 80’s - in a small bar just north of San Diego.

[@BringItMAGA]

I was in HS. All these great bands were competing for airplay. We just took it for granted and didn't know we were listening to history's greatest musical era.

[@timgrady4630]

Cannot miss with this All Timer , gentlemen .

[@jamesdavisjr6937]

My dad loved the doobie brothers grew up listening to them

[@billsager5634]

The pre Michael McDonald Doobie Brothers were the BEST!!! More to check out from the "pre" era: "China Grove"; "Black Water"; "Jesus is Just Alright"; “Takin’ It to the Streets”; “Listen to the Music”, and so many more!

[@ngairehurunui9055]

Another cool track reminds me of my Dad who made sure our house was filled with good music growing up ❤ 🎶

[@thomascerulli8013]

Yea I really enjoy them for a number of reasons. They own their own studio. So they understand music. Probably better than I ever will. I’m just a guy who loves music. I appreciate your response. Peace 😎

[@abevillanueva1974]

Talk about a traveling song!! "Rolling Down the Highway"...another traveling song.

[@Jamesd1861]

Great song, one of my favorite groups y’all got a good thing going here I’m a California born from Lompoc my dad was stationed at Vandenberg from 60-63

[@lrsrosebud]

Great reaction! Thanks for this, brought back some great memories. Had the pleasure of seeing them in concert back in ‘81, fantastic concert!

[@757optim]

We took all the music for granted. Love to do it all again.

[@mikemet1744]

The Brothers STILL rock. Have fun all.

[@debrahartshorn3084]

The 70’s best music ever❤️

[@gary2kr1]

If the world could hold a cookout with the Doobies playing I think we could solve most of our problems

[@ungenerationed9022]

Love the bass drop in the intro. Good pick gents. Well done.

[@Jan-xn3kz]

This was my walking music during lockdown, it drives you on.

[@caseyporter1235]

Never knew how good these guys were during my teen years...I just liked their name....Thanks for bringing them back so I can appreciate them with adult ears....

[@sjd5750]

Me and my buddies wore the hell out of the album, "The Captain and Me", way back in the day..Fond, fond memories!..Love it!

[@julietate7806]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. You guys are the BEST! If you love this groove -- and I know you do, check out the Little River Band's "A Long Way There," the long version. Thanks for keeping truly great music alive.

[@itchyandred4131]

The most southern sounding bands from San Jose California ✌️

[@angelav9377]

The Doobie Brothers are a great band lots of goodies in their catalog…

[@darkstardan3309]

Tom Johnston on lead vox. Worked with him a few times as a live sound engineer in SF. Loved this band as a kid in the mid 70s. The lead guitar player, Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, also played on some really good Steely Dan albums.

[@Epluribusunum47]

The Captain & Me still my favorite Doobie's album. This song, China Grove, Natural Thing, South City Midnite Lady, and on and on. Every song is great. You guys need to do the whole album.

[@oldskool4612]

I recently went to a Doobie Brothers concert. They are currently on their 50th Anniversary Tour. Please see them if you can. It was an incredible show. Excellent reaction gentlemen ❤

[@lauragompertz2647]

Listen to the refrain...without love....sung to sound like a train's horn. They are genius.

[@retromom5421]

I had to explain to my husband what a doobie is! And he loves all these am radio favorites. Trust me, he really didn't know. Such a nice clean cut guy. That's reason #8 why I married him. 😀

[@michaelnorman9962]

Gentlemen: Tiran Porter is the fabulous bass player that grooves! I've loved the Doobie Brothers since junior high and I'm now 62. Keep up the good work, love your reactions and viewpoints. Nice to see some of the younger generation enjoying the golden age of rock n roll.

[@robertwalker1803]

Off what I consider to be the best overall album of all time…” The Captain and Me”.Most of their careers they had 2 in sync drummers in concert.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Classic Doobies, a lot of soul but still a lot of rock.

[@lorcazola]

You guys are pumping out the videos !........AND PRAISING GOD ! 2:54

[@genevievecooperman4213]

I know how much you guys have been enjoying Rare Earth - you would love "Hey Big Brother" - rocking song for sure!!

[@johnnyallen5736]

You guys are my favorite reactors and I have listened to many others. Keep up the great work! Thanks.

[@richdiana3663]

"Jesus is just alright with me" is a real good tune.

[@aloncaftori7397]

Excellent! I think you will enjoy "China Grove".

[@uniqueflowsnake]

As a 38 year old b-boy from Finland, I gotta say. Your reaction to his classic ham made me smile. Had to try out a couple of my old sets and hurt myself on the living room floor over here. That guitar riff just gets you! Maybe react to Jimmy Castor Bunch - It's Just Begun. When you get the chance.

[@jackndan6603]

Nice guy's. Saw them with my bro when I was 12 in Vancouver. Loving the reactions!!!😁🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@alexakl6445]

Ah, yes, The Doobie Brothers - so Americana. Check out their "China Grove" and "Black Water" (and others) as well!

[@edf9682]

I grew up in Santa Cruz and used to see these guys around town at the grocery store… I was a dumb kid but my brother would point them out. They were hippies… 😂😂😂❤🎸🥁

[@vickihirsch8340]

I say give Black Water a listen as well. The harmonies on that one are fantastic!

[@IrishPizzaMan]

Please more reactions to the Doobie Brothers. Thanks 😊

[@ronaldtucker1262]

I saw the Doobie Brothers with Pink Floyd and Santana at the Georgia Tech Stadium in Atlanta during the late 70s. Great concert.

[@AirplayBeats]

What a concert!!
