You Re correct! The Isley Brothers covered this song in 73! So did Sonny and Cher.
Brings tears to my eyes. They are from my home town of San Jose, California. The Doobie Brothers had so many hits. So many wonderful memories from the '70's.
Long train runnin and China Grove - must listen to next.
The 70s WERE JUST WAY MORE THAN A GROOVIE DECADE
Harri, the Doobie Brothers were one of _the greatest_ rock bands of the 1970s! Finally, after selling many, many millions of records over a 50 year period the RRHoF inducted them last year. It is a disgrace it took the RRHoF so long to do it. They are one of the truly great rhythm rock and roll bands ever, and they often have absolutely scorching lead electric guitars solos! Tom Johnston was their original lead singer with Patrick Simmons assuming responsibilities from time to time. Both would switch from lead to rhythm guitar as the occasion required. Tiran Porter was their original bassist and he was wonderful! You have just scratched the surface of their best era, their 2nd through 5th albums. Their musicianship is legendary and they would often share studio musicians like guitar great Jeff "Skunk" Baxter with Steely Dan.
Most people who were fans of the original Doobie Brothers were not at all happy that Michael McDonald took over lead vocals from Tom Johnston. But Tom grew a terrible ulcer from not eating properly (and perhaps other things) and he had to leave the band after their fifth album "Stampede" in 1976. Eventually he returned and McDonald left but they have seldom scaled the heights of excellence they had in the early to mid 1970s when Ted Templeman was their producer. They are still touring to this day and their catalogue of hits is immense!
If I might suggest one of their best songs, and my personal favourite, react to "Dark Eyed Cajun Woman." It is the most hauntingly beautiful blues based love song they ever did, and the electric blues lead guitar is to die for! I'm not kidding and I hope you take me seriously and do it! There is no good concert footage of them playing it, but the single is superb and the blues lead guitar is achingly beautiful! 🎸🎸🎸

The Doobie Brothers were good, before McDonald…..And, they were good with him…
PURO TALENTO Y CALIDAD, TENGO 65 AÑOS, Y SE PORQUE LA VIVI LA MEJOR ÉPOCA.
"That bass player, he should be investigated". Classic line.
This absolutely heavenly rhythm section consists of John Hartman and Keith Knudsen, both on drums, and the great Tiran Porter on bass guitar.
THE LEAD singer is Tom Johnston and he wrote this song. The other classic that he wrote is LONG TRAIN RUNNING. Tom took some time off from the band and Michael took over the reins. Michael left and Tom returned and they are still performing. Another of their songs (they did it in a Midnight special) is JESUS IS JUST ALRIGHT.
And now, they are both (Tom and Michael) back with the group and performing, sadly Covid prevented them from touring last year, but they have dates scheduled again now. Here's a video they just released a few days ago on their official site, performing Takin' It To The Streets.

I have been requesting Jesus is Just Alright on many reaction channels, but so far there have been no takers. I wonder if they resist choosing that song because it has "Jesus" in the title. I hope Harri will choose it! It's such a cool song!
@@talltulip Just search for "Jesus Is Just Alright reaction", there are a few that have done it (including a couple of my favorite reactors). Though maybe Harri will give it a go too.
@@thomasbohannon2066 Thanks! I will do that.
This is sped up so you really know the Doobies eh.
They look like they’ve having such a good time playing and singing.
Try Another Park, Another Sunday. Pure heavenly bliss.
@@stevecontini5386 The Captain and Me.
@@stevecontini5386 Their second through fifth albums are all great. It is really impossible to choose between them for rock and roll joy! You be safe, too! 😉🎸😎
Agreed. Also, "Tell Me What You Want, and I'll Give You What You Need "
@@stevecontini5386 and Flying Cloud, too.
Tons of great songs on Vices...
The guitarist in black is Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, who was in Steely Dan for their first 3 albums. I was lucky enough to be introduced to him by a friend and talked to him for a couple hours at a club. He came with Defense Secretary Cohen and Nils Lofgren. Skunk is now a civilian missile expert (which is why he knew the Secretary of Defense). They were there to see my friend on stage, and plan a USO tour.
Great story, thanks for sharing. And since Harri is such a fan of Michael McDonald, why don't we add the fact that he was also a member of steely Dan as backup singer
Wow, that's both amazing and just nuts! Apart from that, what Ralph said. 👍😘🎶🚀😕✌🎸💞
Skunk is a self taught counterterrorism expert! He reports to the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
@@caseyhazelman2390 Well, more a rocket specialist, and I used to work for NASA, so we talked a bit about that. Also, he came in the club with Nils Lofgren and Secretary of Defense Cohen, so, yeah.
You are forgetting a couple of details....Doobie brothers was the first group that recorded and played live with 2 (Drums) drummers and you should see how they coordinate and also uncoordinate on purpose sometimes, also deserves a LOT of praise is the engineer Donn Landee, who created a spectacular 3D Stereo perception, it was one of the first recordings where it was possible to feel one guitar in the left, the other in the right, Bass center left and so on. THE BEST OF THE BEST.
Who remembers when they were on What’s Happening?
Early Doobie Brothers: three guitarists, bass, and two drummers. Wicked grooves. Try "China Grove" and "Long Train Running" for rockers, or "South City Midnight Lady" for a very pretty tune.
China Grove is so awesome.
I was surprised to see Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, I'd completely forgotten he'd been part of the lineup.
And Black Water
He needs to do Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress)
@@damonhines8187 10 mos. later…I don’t know when this was taped, but ‘Skunk’ didn’t join the band until the “Stampede” album (1975) and he was not part of the original recording of this song which is on “ Toulouse Street” (1972). So maybe they just recorded the video later on. Anyway, he is releasing his First solo album this month, that’s why he is on my mind. 😁✌️
Can you imagine when the Beatles showed up on the scene my parents were absolutely horrified by how long their hair was. Things changed pretty quickly after 1964☮️🤘🏽🔥👵🏼
You've now reacted to two great songs from the pre-McDonald era. The Doobies had a huge career before Michael joined the band. "China Grove" and "Long Train Running" are another two of those great songs. If you want to hear their Grammy winning song, with Michael as their singer, react to "What A Fool Believes." The Doobies are legendary.
Yes I was kind of wierded out when I heard Michael singing instead of this singer. Liked them all.
Most of their career they had two in sync drummers….and they all could sing.
It’s just fun and happy song. You can’t be sad after listening to this. It’s been bringing a smile to my face for over 40 years.
Tiran porter, the bassist, was the spine of the doobies. Tom Johnston was the head, and Patrick Simmons was it’s soul
Love that synopsis.
Having the blessing of seeing and hearing the Doobie Bros. two times in the very early years, with Tom Johnston as lead vocalist, was truly a lifetime highlight and great memory. At the time my comment was ‘they’re a better studio band, than a live band’, but watching this video shows that perhaps I caught them on a few bad nights. Regardless, I’ve been a Doobie fan since their very beginning! Such great memories and such great music. I agree with your comments about the band members...all Hall of Fame members, and justifiably so! Great reaction Harri, you’re the reason for the season...of great music!
Yes this was from 1972…..the yr I graduated from hs. Great song! Upbeat! Love it! This music is timeless.
If you want Michael: Takin' It To The Streets, It Keeps You Runnin', What A Fool Believes, You Belong To Me, Minute By Minute, Real Love.
Maybe my favorite Doobies song. It makes you smile and even makes a non dancer like me want to get up and shake a leg.
When asked during an interview, Patrick Simmons said this song has sort of become their anthem. Tom Johnston pretty much concurred. Tom said something to the effect that he wrote it with the idea that listening to music makes people feel good and brings them together! He hit the nail on the head with this one. One of my favorite Doobie Brothers songs. This is from the "Toulouse Street" album. Lots of great songs on that one! "Jesus Is Just Alright", Rockin' Down The Highway", Cotton Mouth"...
would strongly recommend a listen to the band Little Feat - "Spanish Moon" live, brilliant song and band. Both them and the Doobies rarely left the stereo back in the day.
My son was Little Feat's guitar technician for about 10 years. He left not long after Paul Barrere died. ✌️
Favorite Doobies number! The rare song, similar to "Ventura Highway", that sounds just as fresh today as it did a half century ago. Love it!
Hi Harri, there was an acoustic guitar in this song. If you’ll notice the guitars were not plugged into amps. They were singing over a backing track, the drummer is barely drumming. This is my all time favorite happy song. The Doobie Brothers sound better live. They are older, but you need to check out one of their songs from their Rocking Down the Highway: The Wildlife Concert, any song you choose will be a GREAT one, promise. Harri, thanks for your reactions, especially The Beatles. Janet from Louisiana. ☮️🖤🤟
One of the best rock songs ever written or performed .
Still no Michael but that's OK. I was always a bigger fan of the early years.
Carry On!!
If you want to hear Michael sing with the Doobies, then check out " What A Fool Believes "
Michael came to the Doobies much later. Listen to Long Train Running & China Grove. Michael come in on What a Fool Believes & Minute by Minute….
Tiran Porter, severely underrated and yet he was integral in the Doobie Bros. Sound!
One of the founding members and a rock & roll pioneer, a legend, royalty.
World wide record sales of the Doobies Brothers places them extremelyhigh up on
It keeps you running; is a great song with Michael McDonald singing.
The Doobie Brothers are legends!
This is the studio audio and there is an acoustic guitar on it. Someone synced this studio audio to the video. This was the breakthrough song in 1972. Michael McDonald didnt join band til around 1976. Then the band sound changed drastically. The singer on LTTM is Tom and the singer on Black Water is Pat.
There's also a banjo that you don't see here.
Hated where he took them. They lost their signature sound to become the Michael McDonald Pop Music Band.
@@jessbutler01 Me too! The early Doobies were by far the best!
Now that's what I call music, and yes, I'm listening.
Made me smile and dance 50 years ago. Still makes me smile and dance (more slowly) today. If you're at all interested in a modern cover, Home Free did one about 6 weeks ago. Definitely worth a listen. Happy listening.
They look so glam in this video! And their songs are not the least bit glam. What an interesting look!
I encourage that you check out their virtual version of this song they put out on UA-cam last year...gave me the chills!! How great they are for 5 decades!!
I can see the Isley Brothers being an influence on the members of the Doobie Brothers, but “Listen to the Music” is an original feel-good song written in ‘71 by Tom Johnston for the Doobies 2nd album.
As you likely read in comments, this was years before McDonald joined the group, and although I appreciate Michael McDonald’s contribution, I tend to enjoy the Pre-Michael Doobies, but both are important, quality rendition of this landmark American band. Yes the Isley Brothers did a cover of this a year or two after The Doobies release in ‘72, so that may be why it’s familiar.
Please check out “Long Train Running”, “China Grove”, and “Rockin’ Down the Highway” since you dig this vibe. Some of the best chill music to enjoy on road trips and sing along! 👍🏻
I first heard this in 1972 and it has never gotten old and never will, is so timeless to me and will Always apply! Music is Universal, thanks so much brother, a Great react as usual!
The reason you're not seeing an acoustic guitar is that they're lip-synching and miming to the studio recording. Back in the day, groups didn't play generally play live on TV.
The TV execs wouldn't allow it.
Thasss rite! He ain't lyin...
and THAT is the Doobie Brothers.
great music! This song was before Mike Mc Donald. I think he joined in mid seventies. "What a Fool Believes" was Mike's first hit.
You are right about the acoustic which is so very noticeable. The acoustic is in the studio version. This video has studio audio. Kinda common back in the day. Great reaction, Harri!
Any Doobie Brothers tune , you can't miss !
This was my first favorites Doobies' song. The bass line and when they use phaser and "ping pong" back and forth left and right channels, amazing!
I can NEVER make up my mind if I like "Listen to the Music" better, or if I like "Long Train Runnin' " better. They're both just so so good. Can't wait to see your reaction to Long Train Runnin'!!
Neighbor in college 1973 introduced me to the Doobies & Joni Mitchell! Forever grateful! 🎶💙🎶💙
Home Free's acapella version of this song -- unreal!!!
“What a Fool Believes” will knock your socks off! Michael McDonald wrote it and definitely sings on it. 🌺✌️
Absolutely. Also It Keeps You Running
One of the most popular songs of 1979, and won a grammy for Song of the Year. Also, one of the Doobies' best!!
Hey Hari..... This performance was all "Lip Sink" to the studio cut (a common practice in the 70's). So..... the acoustic you heard is in there along with countless other instruments. All in all the Doobie Brothers wrote a lot of great material before and after Mike McDonald. They were great artists and they owned the radio waves in the 70's!
One cannot ignore the great bass line.
Takin’ It to the Streets is a civil rights anthem classic written snd sung by Michael.
They also happen to have the biggest collection of guitars and bring them to nearly every venue they go to. They set them up backstage and they are literally all over the place.
Lead singer got sick (ulcers) and Michael McDonnald joined to replace him after doing session work in the mid 70’s.
Yes, Isleys covered it on their 1973 album, the Doobies, in 1972 by songwriter Tom Johnston
There's nobody like the Doobie Brothers..
This is one of the happiest songs ever !
From the Golden Age of Rock Music a song that is simply inspiring and timeless ...
My favorite back when I was 22 yrs young!
I saw them in this era, around 1973 or 74 at Carnegie Hall in NYC, around the time "China Grove" was released. It was an awesome concert.
This album came out back when I was flying helicopters in the Army at Fort Hood Texas,
Flying over the countryside with their music playing in my helmet ...
The guitarist on the left with the really long, straight hair and the white feathers on his outfit -- the one who sang the bridge -- that is Patrick Simmons. I believe that he is the only person who has been in the band continuously since its inception in 1970. He is the one who sang the lead on Black Water.
We sort of share a similar history. When I was two or so I had my own little record player and a stack of 45's. I would sit on the floor for hours listening to them and driving my poor mother crazy. That was 66 or 67 years ago and I am still fully immersed in music.
I loved the early Doobies before Michael joined. He came in just when Tom Johnston was forced to take a hiatus due to health problems. The Doobies became a different band with a new sound under MacDonald’s influence.
I like both versions of Tue Doobie Brother, with and without MMac. Echoing others who have requested China Grove, Long Train Runnin’, South City Midnight Lady, Jesus is Just Alright With Me, Rockin’ Down The Highway
"That bass player. He should be investigated." LOL
The Allman Brothers and The Doobie Brothers both had 2 drummers and killer bass players so the 3-4 guitar players can go nuts
Doobies wrote this song & was one of their first hits
Early Doobie Brothers, they were great with whomever, just love them! But this was before Michael McDonald. China Grove is one of my favorites.
Takin it to the streets is a MUST!!
Isley brothers certainly did a version of this very funky version
Now go listen to the new Home Free cover of this song. Remember, no instruments!
if you like this and you do LOL,you will LOVE 'Long Train Coming'
There are 2 drummers! And they switched leads briefly, so there were more than one lead singer, which is always a good thing as long as everyone harmonize well when they sing together. I get your love of music, I've listened to music my whole life too.
This is the original band. Imagine driving to hs in the morning and listening to this before you go into class. Much easier to get through algebra.
Two drummers, I loved this.
Brilliant reaction from a very great band
I have loved this song my whole life--but I learnt something from this video. I did NOT know that the Isley Brothers covered this song! They give it a totally different flavour!
China Grove is a must. And even though Black Water is a bit corny it always had a special place in my heart. Must listen to.
Tom Johnston Microphone was enjoying the song too!
This was the song that started it all for the Doobies. 1972, I was a 15 year old freshman in Highschool. Great memories my friend.
One thing I can say that is a fact is that I have never met anyone that has heard this song and didn't like it, what's not to like, the perfect good feel song!!
China Grove will provide all the Doobie goodness you require. "They just keep on lookin to the East"
Lol I knew this one would bring out that reaction 😂✌️
Yes, you are right. The isley brothers covered listen to the music on their 3 +3 album!
“That guy” (Tom Johnston) wrote the song. The Isleys did a cover version-reversing a much more common pattern.
71 bands (i didn't read the whole list) performed this song. Doobies wrote it so there are 70 covers including the Isley Bros. I was surprised to see Sonny and Cher on the list. I just typed "who covered listen to the music "in Google.
So now you know the Doobie Bros are Tom Johnston. Michael Mc Donald had his place and held down the fort but for those who grew up them from the beginning it's Tom. Also Patrick Simmons wrote and sang Black Water,[a third lead vocalist] he had a close up he's in white on the far left of the band
Harri, this song is pre Michael too. He didn't join the group until 1975. This is Tom Johnston on lead vocals. This is the Doobies I know. A heavier rockier sound then the Michael era. Try "Taking it to the streets", live in concert. You'll see and hear Michael at work and the sax!
Also, "It keeps you running" which was featured in the movie, Forrest Gump
I remember exactly where i was and what i was doing the first time i heard this beautiful song!
I’m here for your Michael McDonald impression and I’m not disappointed 😆
Yes the The Isley Brothers covered this on their "3 + 3" album.
The Doobie Brothers were great even before Michael McDonald join them, China Grove, Jesus is just alright, Rocking down the highway, South city midnight lady, and more
Before Michael McDonald The Doobie Brothers were absolutely terriffic.Tom Johnston and the guys were great."China Grove" "Long Train Running", amazing.
Michael "I keep forgetting."
ty again just wandering time with love for all
Speaking of Isley Brothers, Shout is a must, from the early rock 'n roll years. And That Lady from the next generation of the soul band. Looking at the chronology, I think the Doobies actually did a later cover of their 1968 song, Take Me In Your Arms (Rock Me a Little While).
Hi Harry, I saw them once at the Hollywood Bowl with Tom Johnston, they were totally awesome!!!👌👍✌😎
saw them live in the early 70s, stoned on mescaline and weed. Blew me away
