The Doobie Brothers - Long Train Runnin' Reaction/Review

[@violetvalkyrie476]

This song is almost 50 years old and it's still great. Truly great music never ages.

[@davidhoward3669]

The city council of my town of San Jose just made the house where Tom Johnston rented and founded the Doobies a historical landmark

[@CaptainBakerJason]

Early Doobies is absolute treasure in musical form! 💪🏻🎶👍🏻

[@crsounddoctor4937]

The guitar riffs, the funky bassline, the congas, the percussion, the vocals & that harmonica solo is absolutely "stank-face" nasty!!!!

[@scottkew6278]

That strike rythym in the guitar is the music imitation of what the wheels on freight cars in fast freight trains pounding over rail joints sounds like ..."the Illinois central and the Southern central freight " "...and the steel rail so cold and hard..."

[@joetspaulding]

makes you want to roll a doobie and put on a Doobie Brothers playlist!

[@litawells4264]

Ain't no love in the heart of the city. You don't have love in your life? Your such a beautiful soul I find that hard to believe. I wish you love and happiness for the rest of your life!!!!!!

[@watchbizmatik]

Thank you

[@CaptainBakerJason]

Biz, You need to ✔️ out “Rockin’ Down the Highway”, “China Grove”, “Listen to the Music” by “The Doobs” 💪🏻🎸🎤🎶👍🏻

[@watchbizmatik]

Thats the first one I did

[@luannecochran3922]

I was so fortunate to see them live twice in my life. Once with Michael McDonnell and the second without. Both were absolutely amazing!

[@TeresaMount-t9o]

The Doobs are # 1 for me love this song . The women around you must be crazy to have not scooped you up you are such a nice guy and handsome too.

[@cartercarter645]

The Doobs are Ultimate Smooth!

[@meanmax9663]

I was a pre-teen when The Doobs were in their glory days. I listened to their albums (yes, vinyl!) again and again! Great memories!

[@Kim-hc5si]

The Doobs are a vibe. GREAT driving music. 🚗💨💨💨🎶🎶🎶

[@freegracetruthembrace7188]

Top 5 all timer shows I attended in early-mid '70's .

[@behindenemylines9033]

This band had all the right players. Badass sound.

[@g-pa-Rok-n-Tok]

Without love where would you be now🎶

[@crsounddoctor4937]

"Long Train Runnin'" by The Doobie Brothers (a.k.a. "The Doobs") is "FIRE" and it's an absolute "BANGER!!!" No doubt about it!!!

[@joshuadeshaies7106]

Hell yeah Bizmatik!!! Timeless song here man. Rock on 🤘🏻

[@edwardcrews2952]

Early Doobies is classic

[@ginasavonell7007]

I forghot how awesome this was. Haven't heard it in a long time. Thanks for reviewing the Doobs!

[@peggypatterson5656]

My first concert, first date, first real real kiss revolved around The Doobs. This song rocks live! Looking forward to seeing them again live in Nashville next month. South City Midnight Lady is a good one. Also, Jesus is Just Alright live is a must.

[@robycip9715]

Now you hitting the soulful rock.....legendary!

[@marymarin3277]

My favorite Doobie Brothers song!!💃💃

[@kestrelle5345]

Like the new backdrop, Biz. It's crisp and fresh. Dewbs obviously killed it.

[@watchbizmatik]

thanks, I'm always switching my background lol

[@jamiedimond9419]

The Doobs definitely dope. Great reaction

[@mikelynch6638]

If you wanna hear a great harmonica listen to Blackfoot Train Train..

[@Śħẽĩłã]

Yes!!! 💯🔥🔥🔥

[@dianawhite637]

Awwwwe. THE DOOBS!🎶❤️❤️❤️🎶

[@dianawhite637]

Ripping harmonica!

[@arthurimhof2427]

The Bass Player is Tiran Porter one of the original members of the band

[@ricksloop1075]

Now the Doobies! Man, you are on a roll today!

[@Boatzilla2]

Great reaction to the Doobes, Biz. This song is a vibe and a half.

[@greymattervandal]

There's nothing in this song that isn't essential, but that bass line...

[@michaelyork4554]

The Doobie Brothers, "Doobs" if you will, are just made for driving, an early form of networking, and social interaction.

[@gregscupholm1695]

Phenomenal band. The Doobs have a killer song called "Without You', on their Greatest Hits Vol 1. They also have, uh well, another 25 stellar tracks or more, honestly. Thus, 2 Greatest Hits volumes. Just chip away, Biz. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. 8o)

[@tjcole12]

Thank you for the reactions! Doobie Brothers are great and one of their all time greatest songs is "Black water". It was one of their most requested songs. I think you'll really like it. Its a little different than the ones you've heard so far. Cheers!

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

I call them The Doobies, but will probably refer to them as The Doobs now. 😂

[@tinagilbert8902]

😂🤣😂🤣👍 ME TOO!! 😁

[@freegracetruthembrace7188]

Outstanding Biz ! 'You Just Can't Stop It' = funkiest Doobs ... EVER ...from 'What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits' .

[@nicolepisa26]

Omg The Doobs should totally be a thing! I like how you pronounce it “the dewbs” 😂😂

[@charlielinville1384]

The Doobs! INDOOBITLY! INNNNN DOOBITLY!!!

[@charlielinville1384]

Jeff -Skunk-Baxter also was a member of Steely Dan. Now he's a tech consultant for exotic technologies.

[@Bellawhite1]

Great reaction. I have loved the Doobies since the 70's; they were phenomenal.

[@robertheckman8013]

You can officially call them "The Doobies", no brothers needed!

[@chrisnewton5126]

MOAR epic harmonica… CCR’s “Graveyard Train” and Led Zep’s When The Levee Breaks”

[@J_Gamble]

Oh my god. This is the best. Doobie Brothers; Earth Wind and Fire; Santana; Gladys Knight; Fleetwood Mac; Stevie Wonder .... Soundtrack of my seventies summers.

[@Śħẽĩłã]

Very nice 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥 The Doobs are “alright with me” 😜🤷‍♀️ Good stuff tonight!!! Thanks fam 💞

[@tinagilbert8902]

😂🤣😂 The "Doobs" is alright with me too!!👍 Your "alright with me" comment reminded me of another one of my favorite "Doobs" songs..... "JESUS IS JUST ALRIGHT"!!! 😎 I'm shocked you didn't mention it Sheila!!🤦‍♀️🤣😂 Just playing!! Love ya!! 😘❤

[@DK-wr6qs]

@Sheila Jenkins Michael Mcdonald sang background on Toto, I'll be over you. That song is a vibe for me!! Maybe I'll dedicate that to you and @Tina Gilbert 😊😊

[@tinagilbert8902]

Uh oh, watch out Sheila!! DK's got his big boy pants on tonight!!🤪 He thinks he's slick trying charm us with that one!! He knows Michael McDonald's voice has the "Oops, I dropped my panties" effect on the girls!!! 😂🤣😅😅 P.S... I'm out!! I should've been in bed an hour ago! Gotta work tomorrow/today!!🤦‍♀️ Til the next one sister!!🤗❤

[@Śħẽĩłã]

@@tinagilbert8902 yeah, I was sublimely referencing that song 🤷‍♀️🤣 Sometimes I don’t specifically request songs. I figure Biz gets enough requests without me adding to it 🤷‍♀️ and/or he will get around to it eventually … I was cracking up every time he said “Doobs” 🤣 made me think of Jeff Spicoli (Fast Times at Ridgemont High) 😂🤣 Can’t wait to see what he drops tonight!!! See ya there sis!!! 😘🤗

[@Śħẽĩłã]

@@DK-wr6qs you are too funny 🤣 and I think you have your hands full with one of us … you couldn’t handle both!!! 😜🤣 still love ya though 😘🤗

[@StevesFunhouse]

Yeah, that harmonica was played by Harmonica Lewinsky. She's really famous ... used to hang around with Bill Clinton 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@donnahelton1270]

"Ain't no love here" why the hell not? ! I see 6 kinds of adorable [with a dimple bonus] there. Gives you a head start finding love.

[@watchbizmatik]

Lol idk why

[@markroberts8864]

Amazing what a harmonica adds to a song.

[@user-gt2uf8cq9y]

You've done China Grove so "Black Water" MUST be next. It's completely unique.

[@anniegoodrich262]

I'm with you on that choice. It's my favorite song of theirs.

[@markroberts8864]

Oh. Incredible drumming as well!

[@jonathansmith3742]

There are a lot of harmonica thoughts here, but the only harmonica needed is Whammer Jammer by Magic Dick and the J. Geils Band.

[@allanjones1680]

THIS IS GREAT STUFF...

[@caravan5557]

The Doobs...nuff said

[@joelliebler5690]

My favorite Doob’s tune!👍🏻😄

[@LetItBeSummer-1]

I like the nickname ‘Doobs’ & I’m sure they’ve been called that before. Awesome song

[@bradsullivan2495]

"Take Me in Your Arms" is your next Doobs song

[@IZZY_EDIBLE]

Man, the best Doobie Bros. song you need to play next is BLACKWATER. Magical.

[@dwanpyrtle3134]

Wanna hear'em funk out? Try 'Eyes of Silver'.

[@selfrealeyes]

No one tops John Popper from Blue's Traveler as far as harmonica goes though. You should check them out too.

[@michaela8706]

Man, you are on a roll today. Between the Doob's and Skynyrd. How about doing a little Charlie Daniels Band "The South's Gonna Do It Again" Thanks

[@jamiedimond9419]

This song gave me chills

[@mr.knowitall6440]

Love this song! Now you need to listen to Led Zeppelin's "Trampled Under Foot" and see how "The Zep" can rearrange a song by "The Doobs"...

[@billspivey6919]

Yep. You got the vibe

[@gerhardbraatz6305]

I love the early Dubes!

[@Peter-oh3hc]

Just a great groove

[@bostonvair]

Dude, you must react to Led Zeppelin "Nobody's Fault but Mine" for one of the ultimate harmonica solos.

[@terrieb13]

Love the Doobs!

[@eldergods]

Great reaction as usual. Begs the question, have you done Grand Funk, Inside Looking Out? Right up your alley from all my listening of your reactions.

[@TheDivayenta]

TiranPorter on bass- fantastic! Check out their stuff with blue eyed soul genius Michael McDonald too!

[@chab1rd155]

Love me some doobie bros!💖

[@gregscupholm254]

Doobs, as a nickname, is indeed accepted by many. Named after marijuana. That said, this band is SO TIGHT and TALENTED. Please feel free to check out the jam "Without You". kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4XRpGeIZ510hpY Hey, it was big enough to put on their Greatest Hits Vol I. It TOTALLY rocks. The live attached version will more than impress you. Peace, Biz, always.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

The Dubes, lol. The bass guitar in this just kills me.

[@missbelled6700]

If I call them the Doobs will my hair get longer? Rockin' Down the Highway is fun and fast

I saw them live at Saratoga.

The BONGOS DON'T FORGET THE BONGOS !!! THE DOOBS. LOL !!👍

[@ronforeman2556]

"Without You" kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYK1gWifnrGtorc is another killer track from "The Captain and Me." Unlike "Long Train Running," it wasn't released as a single to AM radio but became a big hit on album-oriented FM stereo rock stations.

[@alrivers2297]

Definitely check out Black Water possibly their best song

[@jona7504]

Jesus is alright by The Doobs, killer song

[@tinagilbert8902]

Biz!! I am so happy you did this and SO bummed at the same time!! 😔 I dropped you the link for the music vid a couple times.... this is one you HAVE TO SEE! Just watch it for yourself (no reaction required unless you want to!! 😜😉😂🤣) P.S... you'll get to see them playing the harmonica and you'll be REALLY surprised at who the "Doobs" are..... they're funky and FUN!!! There's a wicked funny (and interesting story behind this song as well!!) Here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2XXe4akZbang6c

A Doobie was slang for a joint.. And they were not family, just Brothers in music

Anything without Micheal Mcdonald

[@vickieray]

Agreed!! They went pop with him!! Tom Johnston was pure fire 🔥

[@Newfie-zc7ug]

@@vickieray ..really ?...You Belong to Me, What a Fool Believes, Minute by Minute and Dependin' on You...POP songs ? They may have had more sole with Mcdonald but they didn't go POP ?

[@vickieray]

@@Newfie-zc7ug I am not the only person that feels that way. Not meant as criticism but their sound just changed completely & for me I’ll stick with the early Doobies before MM. He’s an amazing artist, don’t get me wrong just not compared to early Doobies for me at least. Kind of how Chicago changed so much after Terry Kath died.

[@Newfie-zc7ug]

@@vickieray Hey, and don't get ME wrong I liked the early doobies better too. There was an edge ,especially on Capt and Me. It still comes down to personal preference for most fans . I just don't agree that they turned POP. The Doobies were never POP. And a great analogy to Chicago. And the reverse of that was CSN and CSN&Y ,when Neil came on board they got harder.

[@wendyw4487]

Another great Doobie Bros track that will make you want to move is 'Real Love.' Check it out!!!!
