[@crsounddoctor4937]

The Doobie Brothers!!! Please react to these other songs by them: "China Grove," "Taking It To The Streets," "What A Fool Believes," "Black Water" and "Listen To The Music."

[@kylebakke594]

Next recommended Doobie Brothers song: “Black Water”

[@ColKurtzknew]

all that greatness complementing the emotive lyrics resulting in as perfect a song as it gets

[@zappafan-eu4wp]

You really should give Robert Palmer a try. Sailin shoes-Hey Julia-Sneakind Sally through the alley(studio)

[@Michael-xj6qt]

Great track,

[@Michael-xj6qt]

Seen them twice, with Tom Johnston, and with Michael Mc Donald, great musicians,

[@beeseewill2407]

Michael McDonald is something special.That voice.Wow. The Doobie Brothers are a Super talent.

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

Good morning, Chod......another great choice. Have a great Sunday!

[@looneygardener]

Also check Mike's duet, ON My Own, with Patti Labelle. So very good.

[@veliasalazar8678]

Love it keep it up. Have a goodday.

[@Daisychain1962]

LOVE this song! It’s my childhood!

[@Coolrockndad]

Doobies tune "What A Fool Believes" is a must react. The single reached number one on the Hot 100 on April 14, 1979. The song received Grammy Awards in 1980 for both Song of the Year and Record of the Year

[@thrummer1953]

This would make a great tune for an Ex-Lax commercial.

[@trespatines8698]

Doobies: Jesus is Just Alright.

[@unclesamjones]

Later iteration of the Doobies with Michael McDonald on vocals now!

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

I just looked for Bob Seger reaction but didn’t find it. Is it on your patreon channel?

[@bangmon1000]

He has a patreon channel?

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

Aren’t they awesome? This song was in the movie, FOREST GUMP. The guitarist that is seated, Jeff Baxter “Skunk” was with Steely Dan before joining the Doobie’s. Yeah, Michael McDonald still sounds great.

[@docdurdin]

Michael McDonald, took the Doobie Brothers in a different direction when he came in to fill in for a very ill Tom Johnston. Mega hits followed, but it was not the same Doobie Brothers. Of course, McDonald went on to become a megastar in his own rights.

[@MrThumbs63]

Skunk Baxter is someone I would like to get high with.

[@johnnosiennek7066]

Too much greatness.....don't get near Pink Floyd "The great gig in the sky" then You've been warned !

[@alg7796]

That's Michael McDonald on vocals. He went solo after this. You should listen to I Keep Forgettin.

[@John_Chu]

I keep forgettin’ by Michael McDonald What a fool believes by the Doobie Bros.

[@larryfoster3172]

Yes!! 1,000 times yes

[@natecorning]

This 100%!! you nailed the recommendations

[@jeanharris2408]

The first line of "Takin it to the Streets" is "You don't know me, but I'm your brother."

[@jeanharris2408]

I'd like to see you respond to "Takin it to the Streets." The message is still relevant today...

[@TheDivayenta]

I think it should be the BLM anthem!

[@j.t.3798]

Yeah brother, it's hard to beat Michael McDonald's voice. What a gift. Great band. Great reaction.

[@TheDivayenta]

Finally!!!!! On the Michael McDonald train!!!!!! “ I Keep Forgettin “ was sampled for “ Regulate”. The entire “ Minute by Minute” album! Blue eyed Soul!

[@johnfoster5295]

That guitarist with the sunglasses on (Jeff "Skunk" Baxter) was also in Steely Dan. If you haven't reacted to Steely Dan yet, you should check them out. I think you'd really like them as well.

[@michaelakkerman407]

Skunk shredding that axe like it's the last time he's ever going to play again!!!

[@shanefrancis368]

That guitar player Skunk Baxter is a department of defense consultant if you can believe that

[@richardrobinson4020]

Jeffrey Allen "Skunk" Baxter (born December 13, 1948) is an American guitarist, known for his stints in the rock bands Steely Dan and The Doobie Brothers during the 1970s and Spirit in the 1980s. More recently, he has worked as a defense consultant and chaired a Congressional Advisory Board on missile defense.[1] He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of The Doobie Brothers in 2020.[2]

[@caroleann_2142]

Michael McDonald', Wrote this Awesome song. What an asset to the Doobies ❤🎉

[@allenayers4919]

He did some backing vocals for the band Toto as well..most likely a few others..

[@mikeloomis687]

His talent was eminent on many Steely Dan albums, but their producer Gary Katz said to Michael...."you need go fly on your own, you are just too talented". Michael ended up on the Doobie Brothers then a GREAT solo career.

[@brendawoodson3230]

Mike McDonald is an awesome singer and musician

[@bangmon1000]

Michael McDonald was singing lead. He wasn't in the other video you reacted to. He also has solo hits. Anyone remember the TV show "What's Happening" and the two episodes the Dobbie Brothers where in? Bob Seger? Where?

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

I saw that episode of What’s Happening not long ago. Rerun was filming the shows. That was awesome. I do love me some Seger, too, though.

[@bangmon1000]

@@Tuesdays_Gone 💗

[@lynnhoffman247]

🔥🎶🤘🏼

[@womanonthinice1276]

You make laugh... It is a joy to watch you react to all the tunes we grew up with. We really were so blessed to hear these songs when they hit the radio back in the day. Classic Rock

[@mickeyhank]

This is good but I prefer the studio version of this song, but I also understand wanting to see the band in action. Sometimes live versions are as good or better, so it’s a crapshoot...

[@anthonyblakely399]

One of the gods of Rock n' Roll The Doobie Brothers.....I want you to react to "Minute By Minute."

[@Hilarita9]

Saw the Doobies live in the 70"s before Mike McDonald (yeah I'm old). They blew me away (of course the acid helped). If you're into vocals check: Beth Hart, 'Am I the One', live at Paradisio.

[@roadkill7314]

I've discovered a lot of great artists on KZbin that I'd never heard of before but far and away my favorite is Beth Hart. Now there's an artist who definitely is better live; she's absolutely amazing!

[@beckmn1]

They were just inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year. They brought in Michael McDonald for lead vocals after founding member Tom Johnston wanted a break. They had been touring steadily for years and Johnson was getting worn down and it was affecting him medically. Michael McDonald .... beautiful voice and it was a great move on their part. Already a popular band, they exploded after McDonald joined.

[@dannycasson1551]

Jeff ‘skunk’ Baxter on guitar. He played In Steely Dan.

[@brianfisher6165]

I saw the Doobie Brothers at the Hollywood Bowl! Such a great band!!!👍✌😀

[@perijetton9275]

Please consider doing “taking it to the street”. The live version also. It’s sheer magic! They just got into the rock and roll hall of fame. And this brother can sing 🎤🎧🎶💝

[@annmills3163]

☮️💜

[@tomtrahan8485]

WOW! WOW! WOW! .... My sentiments exactly..... Thanks! That kind of sound with 1977 live technology is a miracle especially in such a small auditorium....

[@Spazzmatazzz]

One more step to that 10k number! You have a new subscriber! As long as you're checking out the Doobies, give Takin it to the Streets a listen. The music and especially the lyrics will blow you away ☻☺

[@donniemaher511]

I remember seeing Doobie Brothers in concert; well almost seeing them through the smoke. Quite good. 😄

[@josephgalindo5748]

How bout Yngwie Malmstein. See what it do. Pronounced ing-vay.

[@lreed1040]

Other Doobie Brothers songs China Grove, Black Water, Real Love, and Dependin' On You Michael McDonald's solo songs I Keep Forgettin' and I Gotta Try are great.

[@craigreid7178]

I believe that keyboard is a Wurlitzer Electric Piano, unless I'm mistaken.

[@carolyn64]

Michael McDonald is a great singer, but the Doobie Brothers prior to his joining the group and after he left had a totally different sound. They were the best ❤️!

[@angier5775]

Long time Doobs fan here. I couldn’t agree more!!

[@lauraelliott4862]

Wonderful reaction! Wow, wow, wow indeed. So glad to see this vid- never saw it before and oh the memories!!! Thanks, Chod.

[@franklimper2677]

Everyone in band dressed jeans and T shirt . Michael Mc Donald dressed like a gentleman.. cool . I been rocking the Doobies since was I 10 years old back in the 70 s

[@tedregal7574]

Check out Michael McDonald Sweet Freedom.

[@jskit92380]

If you want the real Doobie Brothers, you have to listen to any song they did before Michael McDonald. South city midnight lady, Rocking down the highway, Dangerous, Take me in your arms, just to name a few.

[@angier5775]

I’d pick those too! Plus - Jesus is Just Alright. First song I heard when I was in HS in the 70’s! 👍🏼

[@jskit92380]

Also, Blackwater

[@vic19644]

The only Doobie Brothers song which never gets even close to the studio version when they do it live. As if they can't reproduce it live? I am so horrified by this version because the record version is my favorite song of all time. Why does everyone only react to this awful version? I begged Jamel AKA Jamal to do the studio version and compare how much funk and soul is missing from this junky video tape. So I beg you also. Please do the studio version. In this case, it's like a totally different song.

[@annheckenbach7358]

Skunk Baxter on lead guitar, who also did work with Steely Dan.

[@1bigrowdy]

This version leaves something to be desired. Not mixed very well.

[@hollysmith9979]

Blue eyed soul at it's best🔥he is an angel!!

[@ricksteves07]

Plz listen to the studio version of this. The instrumentation is much better!

[@paulgourlay6907]

Like Aussie music 🎶 get into Screaming Jets

[@robertlear2735]

If you haven't done "What a Fool Believes" its a great song. Also, "Taking it to the Streets" is really good and still relevant today,

[@kurthealey6936]

Wait until you get to "Black Water!!!! LOL

[@GinnyRobertsonLLC]

I never got to see the Doobies live but did get to see Michael McDonald in a smallish venue 12 or so years ago. What a treat!

[@BillMorse-jr2ou]

raw talent, raw instruments

[@pamelav4628]

Sublime.

[@brendawoodson3230]

Love it all this is a favorite

[@williamcabell142]

The Dobbies...where just GREAT! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jonathanmcdonald9849]

South City Midnight Lady is a great ballad. Without You is a deep cut banger. All three from Captain and Me. Pre Michael McDonald.

[@jonathanmcdonald9849]

I meant to add Clear as the Driven Snow. My bad.

[@chopperdeath]

One way(of many) you can tell they are a "band" is how Michael goes to start the verse at the beginning, and the guitarist throws in a lick right before. Michael just backs off and waits another bar and carries on. That's fucking teamwork.

[@chopperdeath]

2:48

[@tomnicholson6171]

Do some King's X!

[@forthrightnight]

Once you've heard Mike McDonald, you will know instantly the next time you hear him.

[@veracinicola4354]

On point !

[@anitapaulus937]

“Minute by Minute”, “Taking it to the Streets” “What a Fool Believes”, you need to hear by the Doobies. I saw them in the very early 80’s. So good!

[@LoveStory-pg5gt]

Very nice song

[@chrisnewton5126]

Check out The Who's "Love Reign Over Me".

[@brodocbetty4856]

Doobies Real Love.

[@roymoore3156]

I Keep Forgetting what song I was going to recommend...well until I remember, I’ll just keep Rock’n Down the Highway...

[@ronaldelliott4373]

This is in the Doobie’s chill lane. Here’s another to add too that smooth chill part of their repertoire. “Another Park, Another Sunday.” Btw, add the second half breakdown of “Jesus Is Just Alright.” Good stuff.

[@SanJoseBob]

Chod, Every song you’ve Reacted to from the Doobies has been Killer! The Pride of San José. When Tom Johnston came down with a debilitating illness, Michael McDonald came to the rescue. That Voice and his Keyboard playing is beyond words. If you like Michael, listen to his vocals in “What a Fool Believes” Doobies Bros. #1 Hit! Check out Michael’s Duet with Patty LaBelle on “On My Own” it’ll tear your heart out! Probably “The Best Break-up Song” ever! I love it!…SanJoséBob

[@hampyonce]

Tidbit Guitarist Jeff "Skunk" Baxter is a rocket scientist like Brian May from Queen. He was also a founding member of Steely Dan.

[@johnwjr7]

I'm back for Day 5. I have not posted anymore videos because I'm still waiting for you to play some of my other ones. In case you see this one first though, 4th Impact "Never Enough" kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnPYXnaBes99oZI. Make room in your bubble for them. Remember I told you that if you keep listening to 70's groups/singers you might run out of room in that bubble.

[@melissawest9124]

You should react to the featured singer, Michael McDonald’s solo hits. Start with “I Keep Forgetting.”

[@nothingbutlove40tis]

Love the Doobie Brothers. Takin it to the Street, Black Water and Another Park Another Sunday are my favorites. Love It Keeps You Runnin too, but I've always thought they should sell it to Kaopectate for their commercials. I can't hear this song without chuckling!

[@charlenewebb5893]

I was in High School In 77 Junior Year I Remember Thanks For The Ride

[@yorpersona]

So, I always skip to the 2 minute mark with every video for the obvious reasons...

[@Coolrockndad]

"What A Fool Believes" and "Real Love" by the Doobies are a must react to.

[@dholmes299]

I love "Real Love" by The Doobie Brothers recorded or live.

[@vinniemoran7362]

Love this song to death!

[@kestrelle5345]

I just conceived Mike McDonald's virtual baby.

[@ellavader4411]

Michael McDonald has a mirror in his pocket ... (I can see myself in his pants)
