2 words... "Black Water" A masterpiece! Great reaction channel, guys!
Love Black Water!
Every song that you react to from the 70’s (1973) you solidify that the 70”s was the best generation for music ! 🔥❤️🎸
Ain’t that the truth… lived it …loved it …wish I could go back!
The 60's would like a word with you.
@@jimr3882 okay the 60’s too! When you’re right you’re right…
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!
Doobie harmony wouldn't be the same without Tiran's voice.
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.
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.
One of my favorite Doobies songs is Tiran’s “For Someone Special “ ! Great bass and great vocals!
Some fantastic bass parts. Very original. Love his tone. Fat with what sounds like fresh flatwounds. That tone kills me.
They ain't related but THEY DOOBIE BROTHERS 🎉🎉
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhn fuckin a man .
Don't forget their pet dog, scoobie DOOBIE dooooo

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.
The Doobie Brothers are a very unique group. Top notch from the beginning and when Michael McDonald joined the fold they became a different band but they were so versatile and professional that the Train kept on rolling!❤
Kinda have to think of them with Mike as if they were a different band. They were but both versions were really good.
Doobies already had a greatest hits album around 1976. This is one great American band.
Saw Doobies live last year with Michael McDonald and Tom Johnston. OUTSTANDING!
They come with the intention that their audience will have a good time. Saw them in the late 70s and it was the same.
I'm envious!!
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. 🎶👍🏽
Harmonies are HARD HITTING and just straight up badass!
One of their finest.
One of the most classic intros in music history
That ent album was what got me into them. Tom Johnston is a beast
Same! I saw him when he went on his own - early 80’s - in a small bar just north of San Diego.
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.
70's music just hits different
It sure does! The BEST music ever in my opinion so thankful I lived then to experience it all!
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!
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. 😎
Oh I love that song too! And by the way I'm 64! Peace and love y'all!
That was originally a Buffalo Springfield song by Roger McGuinn.
@@scottblakey1603 I think you meant the Byrds ??
I'm 63, it truly was an amazing era!
@@martinl8574 there will never be another one like that. Peace!
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.
An engineering and mix masterpiece…..you can clearly hear all the instruments in their own space
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.
This was originally just a intro jam .The fans response was always so big they decided to put words to it..
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!
Doobies always kick ass! ROLL TIDE!
The Doobies were the soundtrack at our house.
All Doobies music great! My favorite band.
been loving this song since i was a teenager 50 years ago. ty for playing it guys.
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
Great groove and great reaction, gents!
You have to dig the bass playing Tiran Porter...The lead singer Tom Johnston got liver disease and had to leave the band in the middle of a tour....Michael McDonald came in within a week and the tour resumed....Tom Johnston later came back.
Yea I enjoyed the bass on this one for sure
Love them! Funky, soulful! Oh that harmonica! Makes you want to move and groove!❤️
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.
A great time for music. Just my opinion. The best Era for music. Thanks fellas for a great reaction!. Appreciate you 🙏 ❤
"Jesus is just alright with me" is a real good tune.
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!!
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....
Pass the dutchie on the left hand side brothers!
Had just bought my first car when this song was popular. No air conditioning of course, so opened windows, summer nights and The Doobie Brothers on the radio.
Love the Doobies!!
That's my favorite Doobie Bros song! Love that band.
The Brothers STILL rock. Have fun all.
Hey guys, Scotland here! Many, many years ago, imma say, early 90s, I was at a rave night - everyone eccied out their minds, dancing to what you guys now call EDM. Right in the middle of the night, the DJ dropped this track. The place went OFF, everyone absolutely loved it. Good times, thanks for the memories :)
That's no surprise...the Scots are such a musical culture and love to celebrate being Scots...how else do you explain them maintaining such an elite celebration force as the Tartan Army...
@@coinneachmaclellan3121 It's kind of hilarious really, we have the English to thank for the behaviour of the Tartan Army. As soon as English fans started to behave really badly, Scotland was like, oh shit, if the English are doing that, it's clearly not for us and almost immediately turned into a drunken but entirely benevolent crowd. Same thing with general racism. England went all nationalistic and neo nazi lite and Scotland, all of a sudden, were stringently anti racist. It pains me slightly, to give England so much credit but it's a real thing....whatever England do, Scotland do the opposite. True story 🙂.
@@jonnylumberjack6223 From what I've been given to understand the Scots bad behavior was only directed at the English and God knows they have centuries of reasons for that, but they were well behaved as a people with a rich and varied musical culture that demanded expression. I remember being in a steakhouse in Islington in London in 1975 during a home final where the high street leading to Wembley was all boarded up. There was a group of Scots at a table when suddenly one of them stood up with a mug in his hand and started singing to the whole restaurant...he was celebrating his country and who he was, something Scots have done for centuries. It's why the English tried to destroy the clan system, the culture and identity of the Scots. You're right that the English played a part if only to provide a focus for something that was already there and the Tartan Army is an expression of that shared cultural identity in a positive and assertive way.
If the world could hold a cookout with the Doobies playing I think we could solve most of our problems
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.
Pre McDonald is the real Doobies sound. ❤
This song cooks, my favorite doobies song
Blackwater is still my favorite Doobie Brothers song by a LONG LONG shot.
"Black Water" if you haven't already heard is a Doobie masterpiece IMO.
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.
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. 😀
We took all the music for granted. Love to do it all again.
Talk about a traveling song!! "Rolling Down the Highway"...another traveling song.
You should contrast this version to the later version live from a show in Santa Barbara (1981-82) with Michael Mac... though he's not featured yet...BUT it is one of the most phenomenal live performances going down...from anyone. They with few exceptions like Pink Floyd and a few others that can play this well live...but they get smaller every year...as to who can play this badass live... And it is a Grove too...
❤️ 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!! ☮️❤️
Part of soundtrack of life❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Michael and his keys were a monstrous change in the Doobie sound.. more than the absence of Tommy's vocals.. Top notch American talent in the 70's..
I am so glad you did this version of the song. This is the real deal.
There is another more disco feeling.
Classic Doobies, a lot of soul but still a lot of rock.
Dudes if AT ALL you GOT TO hear "ANY" of the many LIVE VERSIONS of this....♥️
They are Brothers in the art of great music and toke💭💨
You guys are pumping out the videos !........AND PRAISING GOD ! 2:54
I saw the Doobie Brothers with Pink Floyd and Santana at the Georgia Tech Stadium in Atlanta during the late 70s. Great concert.
What a concert!!
Doobie brother were me and my friends party group back in our days
Great band. Many excellent songs.
The Doobies had 2 lead singers, sometimes 3. They had both a drummer and a percussionist, and the 2 main singers played mean lead guitars. As I put in my requests you guys asked for, please react to these great songs from the same album Captain and Me by the Doobies:
1. Dark Eyed Cajun Woman
2. South City Midnight Lady
3. Natural Thing
I’m noteven Aussie, but this song makes me feel like I am one,LRB FOREVER
Now THAT is the Doobie Brothers!
Ist concert at 16,and my love of the Doobies started!
Love the bass drop in the intro. Good pick gents. Well done.
Cannot miss with this All Timer , gentlemen .
Ah, yes, The Doobie Brothers - so Americana. Check out their "China Grove" and "Black Water" (and others) as well!
This was my walking music during lockdown, it drives you on.
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…
😂😂😂❤🎸🥁
And no autotune… This was when real music was played❤
I say give Black Water a listen as well. The harmonies on that one are fantastic!
This isxmy favecof thiers
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 ❤
One of my all time fave songs ever!!
Love the Doobies, grew up listening to them...
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.
My dad loved the doobie brothers grew up listening to them
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 😎
beautiful - still holds up 2023
Another cool track reminds me of my Dad who made sure our house was filled with good music growing up ❤ 🎶
Great reaction! Thanks for this, brought back some great memories. Had the pleasure of seeing them in concert back in ‘81, fantastic concert!
Great song by an iconic band! I agree with many comments here on two fronts: it was great to be alive then and experience this music as it was made! Am 70 now and can’t believe those years passed so quickly….also, you two are my fav reactors, and i feel honored to have found you when you began and have watched you grow..not to mention hear your fresh put on things! Keep up the good work…😊
Ditto for this 70 year old here. I value Airplay Beats guys and their channel.
Lol ! Roll Damn Tide ! I was 10 in 1961, for Coach Bryant’s first national championship, watched them on that little black and white tv, or radio, all the games weren’t televised then. Best team in the south, so I jumped on, never got off ! It’s turned out well ! Lol
Our Dad is a big fan as well.
Ah yes my senior year high school. My second favorite of Tom Johnston era behind "Another Park Another Sunday" from their next album.
Love the Doobie Brothers..
That opening riff !
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.
They are coming to a venue in Charleston SC, right across the street from my son's apartment, in Sept. I worked a Doobie Bros "Farewell Tour" Show about 40 years ago. That's a long farewell...
The most southern sounding bands from San Jose California ✌️
love this song! foot tapping head bopping perfection, love that you can hear the train in the music 🎶
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.
Absolute Killer band of musicians.
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!
The main guitar part is actually a "clean" electric guitar.
Simple chords, but not as easy to strum properly as it sounds.
This song is SO funky!
My favorite DB song... 🤙😎
That's from the Captain and Me album. They have four albums in a row that are flawless, that you should definitely add to your collection. In order they are: Toulouse Street, The Captain and Me, What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits, and Stampede. You can put any of them on and every song will grab your attention.
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
The 1982 LIVE concert from a park in Pasadena has Cornelius Bumpus on vocals, keys, and sax- 2 sets of drummers and a bongo player.....Cornelius (RIP) was also a session Sax player for Steely Dan...
