The Doobie Brothers - Without You (from Rockin' Down The Highway: The Wildlife Concert)

I could see this video over and over.

Am I the only one who loves Bump chilling in the back?

[@LoveLady-wn3eg]

Tom Johnston, with that guitar action though! Like he was MADE to do it!! I notice and like how Tom gets into it as he's playing, I'm watching him feel the music as he goes along. And equally impressive, is how he's quite comfortable standing at the front center stage, close to the audience, perfectly at home.

[@LoveLady-wn3eg]

I notice Tom's rings he's wearing, as he grips the mic, is one of them his old high school ring?

[@douglayton3498]

Tom is a stone Cold Rocker.

[@deweyeverhart3118]

Saw them live many times.

[@kevinkilduff2064]

Arguably America's rock and roll band! For over 50 years the Doobies have established a unique niche in the R&R canon, playing everything from straight rock to borderline heavy metal to country rock to ballads and R&B. Few bands can claim this label. They deserve their place in the Rock Hall of Fame and to this day they still sound as great as ever.

[@jerryattwooll4864]

The Doobies most "metal" song. How is it that this band isn't in the HOF when some of the nonentities are. Still they're in most real rock fans HOF and that's what really counts.

[@Sovereign_Citizen_LEO]

This is the definition of Rock and Roll (or hard rock). Arguably the greatest rock band and most rockin song in history.

[@vinny57ish]

If im not mistaking ? Wasn't Tom Johnson the leader and original founder in San Jose California? Johnson was a garage musician in his teens and started jamming with a few others in the bay area of The Rice A Roni treat town San Francisco. 😆😆back when i was a on air radio head or jock? Everytime i would play a Doobie tune ? I would intro it and say ? Smoke em if you've got em. Lol..great tunes and cool memories with the Doobies. ✌ smoke em if you got em.

[@tracycapilot2002]

Read this in Wikipedia about how the bands name came about: "According to Tom Johnston, Rosen said, "Why don't you call yourself the Doobie Brothers because you're always smoking pot?" Hartman has said he wasn't involved with choosing the name, and didn't know that "doobie" meant a marijuana joint until Rosen told him. Everyone in the band agreed that "Doobie Brothers" was a "dumb" or "stupid" name. Simmons has said the band intended to use the name only for a few early performances until they came up with something better, but they never did." Now, if it wasn't for Keith Rosen we might be calling them "Pud" or "Scratch" which, imho are a LOT worse!! LOL

[@dennis-ul5ht]

Totally shocked that they got into the Hall of Fame before Spandau Ballet...

[@lionheartroar3104]

One of the best American bands bar none! You don't have to scream your ass off to the rock and the Doobs have proven that for over 40 years.

Not till Michael Macdonald f___um up.

[@lemurianseahorse]

Michael brought a different dimension to the band. An expanded audience!They knew it was a smart move! They still did their rock and roll!

[@petebradt]

@@lemurianseahorse Not when Tom took off. Mikey McMuffin had ONE good song (Take me in your arms), everything else he did was to soften them up, buff the edges. McDonald has progressed very well as a singer and musician, but when he joined the Doobs, he burned them down. So fuck you.

[@josephallard6394]

I remember back in the early 70's the Doobie Brothers along with James Taylor, I believe, and the Outlaws were coming to SPAC (Saratoga Performing Arts Center). I bought three tickets over the phone and had no idea where we were going to be seated when we got there. The day of the concert when we arrived we were escorted down to the orchestra pit. Where we were seated in the third row, probably twenty-five feet from the stage. What an awesome experience that was. I remember that they did three encores that night-as did the Outlaws. I have never been to another concert like it.
