Dudes, you need to do the studio version. Great production and a different vibe. That's the one that'll stick in your head.
This blew everyone away when it first came on the radio. Nothing sounded like that. An incredible band at their peak. Definitely do the studio version. The production values are phenomenal.
I heartily agree. I find the studio version superior to this particular performance. For me it is at least in part that the song pre-dates Michael McDonald, who is on keys in this live version. He took the Doobies into a pop direction that I didn't really care for, and his voice, though very good, is obviously smooth and lends itself to pop. Those first few albums from the band were clearly rock. I had a copy of "Toulouse Street" on cassette while serving in Thailand in 1973.
@@Dragonsinger71 A truly great band that evolved and changed, yet has somehow maintained it's core. Unlike Yes and Styx and countless others that succumbed to animosity and bitterness. I wasn't a big fan of their Steely Dan Lite phase either, but cannot deny the quality of the music.
Nice to see it live, but the studio version is so much better
After you've heard the studio version a gazillion times, the live one messes with your head!
Great song to sing along to.
LOL, I know-I was like, wait-I was all ready to start singing my part!
The studio version of this is excellent.
Studio version is just so much more!
The studio version is an absolute Iconic Masterpiece....!
Loved that show, Whats Happening! Roger, Dwayne and Rerun👍👍
This was my favorite song in 3rd grade. During lunch period, I'd run across the street to a little diner and put a dime in the jukebox so I could hear this tune while I ate my slice of pizza. 🍕🎶 I finally got to see them perform this song forty years later!
I saw the Doobies in concert many times in the 1970s - they put on quite the show.
Yes! That was Michael McDonald on keys and backing vocals during this performance! He was not with the band when they initially composed this song.
Flawless vocals.....love this jam.
Love this fun song Patrick sounds great and the harmonies are outrageous!Thanks guys.
Rerun had the tape recorder under his trenchcoat - classic
Is that right?! Did he get caught, or something?
The Doobie Brothers were high level musicians on the level of Steely Dan.
Tubing the Guadalupe River in San Marcos. Beer in one hand and Doobie in my ears (hand) just floating.
Our good buddy Micheal McDonald in the full beard on keyboards on the left. And Skunk Baxter in there somewhere too (bongos?). So 1/3 of the band are Steely Dan alums. You're right, you'd think McDs vocals would be more prominent. That might be right after he joined the Doobie Brothers circa 1975.
I've never seen this live version before, it was different. This was a HUGE hit in 1974. In fact, it was their first #1 hit, which is surprising given they had Listen to the Music, China Grove, and Long Train Runnin before Black Water.
This always takes me back to my freshman year of football fall 1974, we played an away game pretty far away, we won, and for some reason on the long bus ride back some of the cheerleaders rode back with the players (no complaints from us) and I distinctly remember the whole bus singing Black Water over and over on the ride back. One of those memories that always pops up when I hear this tune.
He’s playing that so clean while singin
Born and raised in San Jose. Tiran Porter ( bass player ) used to come in the grocery store I worked out of high school back in 90’s. Super cool dude with such a relaxed demeanor. This band is legendary and never gets the credit they deserved. Especially from the bunk Rock & Roll HOF.
Tiran still making music in Santa Cruz, mostly playing guitar now
So good. So. Good! Great live version. I like how they managed to work in a bit of "Chicago, Chicago" for their Chicago audience, and even played a bit of the Charleston. The Doobies were the first band I saw in concert-1982 at the Allentown Fairgrounds.
Jeff Skunk Baxter from Steely Dan on pedal steel guitar.
For continuity, that's Jeff "Skunk" Baxter from early Steely Dan playing the slide Steel Guitar......Talent everywhere.....
Remember riding on the school bus when this came out. We all sang it. They were so good back then. Cheat The Hangman.
The Sanford-Townsend Band "Smoke From A Distant Fire"...Nuff Said.
What a great band they were!
I've NEVER clicked on anything FASTER. ♡
Skunk Baxter rockin' that pedal steel. He plays great guitar for the Doobies and Steely Dan.
Wow! Never saw this version. Michael McDonald on keyboard and vocals. Too cool.
Roger asked one of them which doobie you be! Classic line!
Actually, they're from Loma Prieta- close to San Jose, but in the Santa Cruz Mountains, above Los Gatos, if you know where that is. But yeah, the Doobies always sound amazing with that slightly southern-sounding rock.
The complete soundtrack of everyone who came of age in the 70s. Blues, Country, R&B, Hard Rock, Pop
...all in one band
Been waiting…. so good… as a harmony singer, we all had fun with this one back in the day….❤️🎶❤️
Yeah I remember that " what's happening " episode .One of the cast said which doobie you be 😅😊
I didn't know that Jeff skunk Baxter played the slide guitar. But he is a master on a guitar.
His first appearances with the Doobies were on pedal steel.
The best What’s happening episode ever when they were on ! Classic
The studio version of this though is very good. Yeah it was such a cool song hearing on the radio back then
Michael McDonald was that skinny, dark haired piano player, oh and he did some of them back vocals
you heard, too! I hardly recognized him. He was so young. Weren't we all! Except you guys still are. Love your impressions of music that inspired everything that came after.
Special song me and brother sang together when we were young.
This was a B-side of a single of a Another Park Another Sunday. It was played on the radio by accident and became a hit. It was never meant to be played on the radio.
Point of reference, the guy playing pedal steel guitar is Jeff "Skunk" Baxter...... A guy who played guitar in another band you loved, Steely Dan (He's featured in Reelin' in the years and My Old School for just a couple of his tunes and guitar licks). Another point of reference, although he might not look it, he literally is a rocket scientist, besides being an amazing guitarist. He was and maybe still is employed by the US Defense department.
AWWW shoulda done the studio version
We will do it. We just wanted to see them this time around.
At least these guys still sound good live. So many suggested live reactions are...for long-time fans.
I love the bluesy vibes of this song, and who doesn't like a song that has a few "mama" in it.
The What's Happening episode was great. I did see them on The Midnight Special and Don Kirschner's Rock Concert though
Oh yeah - the What's Happening episode - "Which Doobie - may you be?" haha. Love Black Water
I went to high school with singer Pat Simmons. He wrote this back then! ❤❤❤we all listened to all genres of music back then. Great influences.
Mike was sitting right there on the piano!
Pat seems pretty cool. Loved seeing his solo projects when they would play the local Santa Cruz dives
@@jimmoore8951 did you live in Santa Cruz, Jim?
@@TheDivayenta looooong time ago… Tahoe now. Went to high school with current Doobies sax man
@@jimmoore8951 Santa Cruz high? When?
Damn that's fire 🔥 no one ever does the live version of this so WELL DONE, LON & CHI! I truly miss this level of talent. Only the Doobie Brothers can sing about catfish jumping & make it sound so good. 🤣
Here we go... Great Song.
In 1975, my best friend and I drove all over Bedford, Massachusetts, singing this song with the windows down. And then the Doobie Brothers released a song called TAKE ME IN YOUR ARMS. Turn up the radio and rock at the top of your lungs.
And you just can't get in the way of TAKIN 'IT TO THE STREETS. Enjoy
Love my Doobbies
This one takes me back to the summer of 74', l had a friend who was in a band that played a lot of Doobie Brothers🥰🤘
Very cool! You must have grown up in the Bay area too.
the great Skunk Baxter of STeely Dan fame on pedal steel and Mike McDonalds voice!
Never seen this done live, so that was really cool. Such a great song. I had the single when I was a kid when this came out. Wish I had gotten the album.
Peace from SF
This was from an old PBS series called Soundstage from the late 70s. From the same performance is an incredible version of Takin it to the Streets which showcases Michael Mc Donalds keyboard chops
One of my all time faves ☺️
Great to see this live version not so great audio 😮
We use to sing this one around a bonfire after a few drinks. Our harmonies sounded great! Or maybe the alcohol enhanced our listening pleasure. 😝
Rerun was getting into the Doobie Brother's concert, jumping about, and a tape recorder fell from under his overcoat. Busted. That's what's happening.
singing that this morning when I was working around a leaking roof and the water on the floor was blackish humming away
Never seen this particular snippet. Thanks
You referenced the What's Happening episode! Rog to Simmons " Which Doobie you be! "🤣
Just amazed at the huge diversity in the room, Old, young,& in between.......... awesome ✌️
Just so damn Good! Love Patrick Simmons.
Jesus Just Alright.
I was in 10th grade in high school when this came out. It was such a big radio hit. They played it all the time!
I love that episode of what’s Happening. They also played, Taking it to the streets and are Run tried to make a bootleg of the performance.
On pedal steel guitar is Skunk Baxter, original member of Steely Dan and on Piano is Michael Mc Donald the backup vocals for many Steely Dan Songs
This is The Doobie Brothers I knew and loved.
Bro I remember seeing the what’s happening episode with them also!
Just saw them the other night at the IL State Fair ... great show!
70’s era Doobie Brothers music was incredible, this song is just one example
Wow, that audience were in pitch and on time. That's rare..
Saw this live on the "Minute By Minute" tour, Cape Cod 1979, It was as good as you think it would be. My first real rock concert (unless you include Donny & Marie or Beatlemania) :P
Did they just go in to "Oh, When The Saints Come Marching In" at one point? That was wild. Thanks for sharing.
No, I think it was and old Dixieland jazz tune they inserted into the song. 🎶☮🖤🤘
Another song that carries on the harmony at the red of the song is by Little Big Town. The tune is BOONDOCKS. Enjoy
Song with a great vibe..the audience just eats it up…and the audience is so diverse..old, young, long & short hairs…the Bros are so damned good! The reactors are too!
I forgot about that What's Happening episode 😄 This song is from their 3rd album, What Were Once Vices, my personal favorite. It's probably not their best, that would be The Captain and Me, but it's a flawless album just like Toulouse Street and Stampede. Y'all should listen to the song Toulouse Street to hear another flavor of the Doobie Brothers music.
Great song
Saw them at the fabulous forum in 1978. What a great band.
I think this was from a taping of Soundstage which was a PBS WTTW production done in Chicago. Soundstage program had many good performances during its run.
Lotta them bands back in the day sounded like southern rock because that’s where the soul was
Doobies and Steely Dan were studio musicians. Some played in both bands.
I believe thats whats known as “sippin music”
Even when Michael McDonalds voice has a small role, it still has a big role!
This unlikely hit for the Doobie Brothers has that Louisiana swamp rock feel of lost summers rafting/tubing down the Mississippi River;
just losing yourself of stress and worry. Just forget all the crazy bullsh*t and enjoy life, some funky Dixieland music, and live life.
I'm with you----all these years later, I'm still digging that happy go lucky vibe of this song...!
Wow, I never heard this live version. Although the sound quality could be better, the performances and arrangement are fantastic. They really dig into the country and gospel roots of the song live.
I love, love, love this song!! It was huge, on the radio all the time. We could all sing along with it!
Undeniable vibe .
I remember when all these 70's classics were actually new and fresh. I am so privileged to live through it.
I can still pull out Michael McDonald in the harmonies. A voice like an angel.
Cheers, friends ! Thank you for shouting out that "What's Happening" episode - that's a fun memory from when I was a kid. ✌️
Glad u guys did this one…. Thx
Going to see this band in a few days. With Michael McDonald. Can't wait!!!
More than a few Doobie tracks still in my brain from those formative years. Please take a look at Elton John - Madman Across the Water (1971) Live at BBC when you get a chance.
Every single time an artist gets the crowd to sing a lyric...they are ALWAYS in perfect pitch as a collective! EVERY TIME..I love it! lol
They so good they even made the audience sound good.
This is awesome
If you can ever catch the studio version it sounds awesome as well
Great eg of “musical quotation” here: obviously venue was Chicago: Skunk Baxter’s (previously of SD) first pedal steel section was quoting from the old song “Chicago” (“that toddlin’ town”), and later full-band interlude played similar chi-town segment. Touring bands sneak in quotations all the time, although you’d need a decent historical ear to catch them all
Love this version. Very clear harmonies. Shows off what great talent they have.👍🏼
Thanks for this one!!❤❤❤ Foot tappin music for sure 😁
So cool you did this!
One of my faves. Even the version they did during Covid still sounded great.
Skunk, Jeff Baxter, playing slide guitar. He now does missile guidance systems for the military.
