Doobies were EXPLOSIVE and in top form in 1974, thin, young, high energy, Keith Knudsen had long hair, Little John Hartman was still heavy, platform shoes... man... they were tops back then w/ explosions and smoke machines.. nothing beats the 1970-1975 Tom Johnston era of the Doobs
Lucky enough to have seen them in 75! This video takes me back to that place. What an incredible guitar and rhythm attack. They were one of the best guitar based bands. And Pat Simmons is actually a well read intellectual. What a time to be young and free!
My first concert in 1973! I was in the front row! Any closer and I would have had a guitar in my hands! And this song in my opinion is by far the best song the doobie bros ever did! One of the best rock and roll songs of all time! It should be in a category all by itself! Tell me Im wrong!
A Doobies classic, nice jam too! They were on fire in '74, saw them at Winterland in SF that year. Love Pat Simmons and Tom Johnston, nice to hear them rockin' along with the band. Cool to see them at The Rainbow.
And on "The Captain & Me", this track was immediately followed by "South City Midnight Lady". Talk about such contrasting styles being placed so close together on an album.......
Was there. Support was Montrose another truly great band .concert put together by Warner Brothers with cartoons in between. I kid you not. Fantastic gig and this my favourite live song.
Saw them do this that year in Boise, Ida. in the fairgrounds large exhibition building, the only indoor venue we had back then. TERRIBLE acoustics!! But we didn't know any better or give a hoot!! It was freakin AWESOME!! This was their finale. Fireworks, light show & all! I remember Patrick's hair & how it waved as he was rockin and decided that's how I wanted to wear mine.
Gotta like Little John calling out the crowd for not being more demonstrative (just say "rowdy"). Meanwhile, to think that so many of today's guitarists spend untold amounts of money on boutique amplifiers and electronic effects to get such '70s-vintage tones when pretty much all that's needed for that purpose are a two-humbucker (P-90s would work, too) Gibson SG, Les Paul, or ES335 and a tube amp that's made by Fender, Marshall, Ampeg, or whomever else and based on one of the original circuits that made those amps go back in the day. To that point, notice that in the video, neither Tom nor Pat had the kind of mission-control pedalboard that's been so commonplace in more recent decades onstage at his feet. Of course, most of the now-essential pedals as well as the pedalboard concept didn't exist at that time, but you know what I'm getting at.......
Imagine, back in the day, 'influencial' Rolling Stone snubbed this awesome multi-talented outfit as being 'too poppy'. Poor chap. No band equals TDB's outerspace brilliant deep-cut catalogue.
Great jamming version. Compare that to more recent videos with just John Mcfee on the solo and under 5 minutes. I haven't seen the Tommy soloing jamming type version since the video from 1996. They did jam on it when I saw them in 1993, 91, 89, and the video from the 87 reunion. I don't know why they stopped the long jamming on that. Also, there is no video of the version they did between China Grove and Listen to The Music from the farewell show in 1982 but I know they played it that night.
Agree on jamming. When they jam, it just shows how great they are musicians. The speed changes are incredible. So many different rooms they play in during the song.

後追い世代ですがこの頃のドゥービーズの豪快さが好きです

One my favorite Doobs songs. A rocker all the way through.

Tommy on the SG. Life is good!
