Back in the day concerts were like an organism, fans would come out in hordes and show their love and adulation for a band, in return they were showered with all the band could give. It really was THE best time for music. Thank you brother for these wonderful strolls done music's memory lane.
This chanel and Jamel have honestly made my world a little bit better in truly difficult times. Dude, thank you for reminding us of all the amazing music we can share. Thank you for YOU.
I went to a Doobie Brothers concert in 1976. I was 13. That was the first time I had ever seen a joint! I learned what it smelled like too that night! People were passing it around. I just knew I was going to get caught even though I was just passing it down the line!
"The Brother", Cornelius Bumpus, was singing Tom Johnston's part in this performance because Tom had had to leave the band due to health reasons. (He had nearly died from a bleeding ulcer and had to be hospitalized on the eve of a major tour in 1975, which is how Michael McDonald became their front man; Jeff Baxter, formerly of Steely Dan, suggested McDonald as a replacement.) McDonald is a talented singer, to be sure, but his vocal range generally can't go *quite* that low. :D
Saw them in 72 with Tom and it was great. Never much cared for them after McDonald came onboard. But hey, they could have done worse. Went to the bank big time didn't they.
@greenmean1 Yeah, it seems like a lot of people have kind of forgotten the circumstances behind why Johnston was replaced with McDonald back then. :-) It wasn't like the record label made them do it; it was literally a life-and-death issue of Johnston having to go into the hospital RIGHT NOW, and there simply was no way he could have continued with the band. Fortunately for us, he did regain his health, and rejoined the band when they got back together in the early 90s, and has been with them ever since. :) They're on their 50th-anniversary tour this year (or were supposed to be, before the virus hit), and I'm hoping I'll still get to see them later this year, as McDonald is joining them on this tour and they'll have both Tom *and* Michael performing. That should be epic!
I LIKED SKUNK HE'S A CHARACTER .VERY INTELLIGENT MAN . THANKS TO HIM HE BROUGHT THE ARMED SERVICES OUT OF THE ANALOG AND INTO THE DIGITAL AGE ! WHAT A TALENT .
Every member of the Dobbie’s so damn talented, any one of them can jump in and do their thing. Thank you for posting, I’ve always wondered who sang their older stuff once Johnson left and McDonald took over! Brother was on vocals, keyboards AND sax! Awesome!
This is the era when Tom Johnston had left the band and Michael McDonald joined. Although the Doobies were very succesful during the Michael McDonald era, just not the same without the real driving force of the Doobies Missing.
I so agree David Hattman! I really liked the Doobies, and then I didn't- never really paid attention to the line up. It was Michael McDonald that I didn't like!! He is a great singer on his own, but he turned the Doobie Bros into a pop band!
Ringo Starr's Birthday was today. "It Don't Come Easy" is a great one of his. Charlie Daniels, who passed earlier, was a player on Ringo's 1st solo album. A good one of Charlie's would be "Uneasy Rider".

@@robertsaul234 Yep. Zak is now 55. Julian Lennon is 57 (!). Jason Starkey is 53. Mary McCartney and Lee Starkey are both 50. Stella McCartney is 48. Sean Lennon is 45. James McCartney is 42. Dhani Harrison is 41. Beatrice McCartney is 17. Where does the time go?
Yeah, they really were amazing. I saw them either at the state or county fair, or at Garfield park auditorium. I was around 15, but any way they never let you down with the music or the showmanship! Great talent.
"I'LL BE OVER YOU" by TOTO. Their Father Joe Pocaro a well known session musician, a percussionist passed away at the age of 90. His sons Jeff, Mike and Steve Porcaro were members of TOTO (Jeff and Steve were founding members). Prolific studio musicians. Oh, and play the official video....you'll recognize a certain guest vocalist. 😉
Jamel, this channel, out of all of my subscribed channels, is my favorite. I love that you look at the lyrics and really experience the song. Good job you handsome SOB!!
I absolutely love the Doobie Brothers! Most people have heard the most of the more popular songs , but I really like a song from 1972 that is a bit different. It is "White Sun"
I am a Doobie Brothers fan from the beginning and being so, I just wanted to let you know that this live version was from the 2nd incarnation of the Doobies (Mike McDonald edition) This is the 80's version. There is a big difference in the pre-80's Doobie sound (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Doobie_Brothers#Original_incarnation) At any rate, these were tapestries of my era. Keep doing what you doing Jamel and like you tell us, stay safe
Jamel, It was so cool! Andy & Alex - College Students was reacting to the Outlaws - Green Grass. In their intro, they were suggesting your channel and singing your praises! You are such a positive model to so many!
I always liked this band, but I was oblivious to the talent until I actually saw this performance. Those guys were AMAZING musicians and vocalists. Elevated respect for this band.
Gosh, this performance is so wow. This song also has a whiff of the groups Chicago and the Allman Brothers. Thank you Jamel for sharing this live version. I love the Doobie Brothers and somehow their music never gets old. Woo!
You so funny Jamel! I love how happy music makes you, I danced along with you on this one. Thanks for making our lockdown days happier ❤ (went just went back into strict lockdown in Melbourne, Australia for minimum 6 weeks). Love and strength to you and your family 😁🦋🌻
I’ve been thinking Elvis Costello for some time. Oliver is great. What’s So Funny About Peace Love and Understanding, Alison, Everyday I Write the Book. Many greats
2 good ones, Elvis Costello was in a class by himself, that Pat Travers joint would be good too, would love to see him do reactions to the original version by Little Walter followed by the live Pat Travers version. Great comment.
Phenomenal! I am so glad you watched the live version. I never knew a brother was singing this either. Then 3 drummers, the guitarist rocked out and then the brother who was singing and playing piano starts playing the saxophone. My mind is blown.
Yes Cornelius was a real gem! This tour was the first time I saw them. It was deemed their “Farewell Tour”. The last tour with Michael McDonald. But alas, they were set to reunite this year with him until...... you know the rest.
React to “Walking In Memphis” by Marc Cohn if you get a chance, it’s a beautiful song, I think you’ll love it. Enjoy your reactions so much, you are very much appreciated.
Stood right in front of the stage watching them play. They are so awesome live...their sound is spot on. I had the best time at that concert back in the mid 80s!
I stumbled on your channel by accident tonight, starting with your reaction to Black Betty. Rammstein is probably my favorite band and I was stoked that you did a few of their videos too. If I could make a suggestion for a future react video I'd request Avenged Sevenfold's A Little Piece of Heaven. I'd suggest the official video for it because it helps to tell the story, but the live version in the LBC is pretty epic as well. Subscribed!
Now THIS is a live performance for the record books! Wow! How great were they? LOVED the song, before, but seeing this just solidifies in my mind how really great this group was. When you're able for the quality to be this good, and the energy this strong during a live performance...what can ya say? INCREDIBLE! Thanks for your great reaction, Bro. You're the BEST!
Thanks Jamal for doing this reaction brother. You can't go wrong with any song off of the Doobie Brothers the Captain and Me album. Hope you and yours are staying safe. Thanks again for helping us to keep great music alive.

That Santa Barbara show is a great source of the Doobies' brilliance as a live band, for more reactions. Sounds great, and them at the height of their powers.
Would love to hear your reaction to some Blues Traveler. The Mountains Win Again and The Hook are the 2 I’d recommend most and if you like those, which I think you will,then Runaround, But Anyway and Sweet Pain are also good ones. Take care and keep making great videos my friend.
I saw Doobie Brothers several times around 1970 or so playing for free on the beach in and around Santa Cruz, Northern California. They got their start playing at Hells Angels parties in the Santa Cruz mountains.

@@evannelson4203 Didn't Tom step away for a while due to creative differences with McDonald? To this day, historically speaking, I'm not sure how much they've actually shared the stage as members of the Doobie Brothers. Anyone know the story there? I was still a kid when this concert took place. Was McDonald a replacement lead for Johnston for a while until he eventually returned and regrouped with the Doobies?
Some interesting history from the WIKI: The American band The Doobie Brothers has had a plethora of members since its inception in 1970, including guitarist/singer Tom Johnston and keyboardist/singer Michael McDonald. The Doobie Brothers employ official members and a small group of touring musicians, usually with a core group shown in promotional material. Guitarist/singer Patrick Simmons is the only constant member of the group, and the only one who has appeared on all of their releases.
I saw the Doobie Brothers in Montgomery, AL at the Civic Center in July 1977. They were touring in support of their album "Living on the Fault Line"- the second album with Michael McDonald front and center. I was a mere 15 years old but it was still a transformative experience for me. I've been to many concerts since, but none of them were as electric as the Doobies. I plan to see them next year in Raleigh- oddly enough, it's on the same date as my '77 concert. I so wish Tiran Porter was still with the band, along with Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, John Hartman, Keith Knudsen and Bobby LaKind. Still, Tom Johnston, Patrick Simmons and Michael McDonald will be there- I can't wait!
you like reminders you said. Chicago I'm A Man Live Tanglewood 1970.. the horn section are the percussion. and even Peter Cetera in the breakdown banging a cowbell, Terry Kath launching into beast mode if you get to it prepare to get blown away..
I had never seen this live version, I had no idea of all the drums, I had no idea of all the brothers, you see no strife, all jamming in unison and love of music. Great reaction Jamal.
It's that "ear candy" that I crave. Which is why I'm always going to be a Live over studio kinda guy. Studio is set in stone. Live... well you see the infinite possibilities right in this very video. Thank you for this wonderful reaction to an ultra fine song. It made my day.
Wow! First time for me also, perfection!!! Insane talent. Dang. That sounds SO good!! Michel looked over and smiled his nod of impressed approval ✨👌✨ I love that!! What a concert to buy..I'm gonna keep my eye out.
You are one person that really entertains with your reactions. You are one person I would really like to meet in person and even have dinner with. I love how you want to bring all people to gether regardless of race. You are such a happy person and seem to always have a good time. Thank you.
That song was playing on the radio in the 70s, so it had been out for a while before the concert, and there are a hundred live performances of that song on here.
Back when music was made by humans and not computers!
The Doobies prove it: we're ALL brothers.
Well said.
Cornelius Bumpus

I believe he has passed away recently

Not a huge difference live, as this shows. Still a jamming live band with funk and soul.

I saw the Doobie Brothers in the summer of 1982 for my 16th birthday. It was the best concert I've been to.

To this day, historically speaking, I'm not sure how much they've actually shared the stage as members of the Doobie Brothers. Anyone know the story there? I was still a kid when this concert took place. Was McDonald a replacement lead for Johnston for a while until he eventually returned and regrouped with the Doobies?
Some interesting history from the WIKI:
The American band The Doobie Brothers has had a plethora of members since its inception in 1970, including guitarist/singer Tom Johnston and keyboardist/singer Michael McDonald. The Doobie Brothers employ official members and a small group of touring musicians, usually with a core group shown in promotional material. Guitarist/singer Patrick Simmons is the only constant member of the group, and the only one who has appeared on all of their releases.
I saw the Doobie Brothers in Montgomery, AL at the Civic Center in July 1977. They were touring in support of their album "Living on the Fault Line"- the second album with Michael McDonald front and center. I was a mere 15 years old but it was still a transformative experience for me. I've been to many concerts since, but none of them were as electric as the Doobies.
I plan to see them next year in Raleigh- oddly enough, it's on the same date as my '77 concert. I so wish Tiran Porter was still with the band, along with Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, John Hartman, Keith Knudsen and Bobby LaKind. Still, Tom Johnston, Patrick Simmons and Michael McDonald will be there- I can't wait!
you like reminders you said.

I had never seen this live version, I had no idea of all the drums, I had no idea of all the brothers, you see no strife, all jamming in unison and love of music. Great reaction Jamal.
Musicianship, what a beautiful and wonderful thing!
It's that "ear candy" that I crave. Which is why I'm always going to be a Live over studio kinda guy. Studio is set in stone. Live... well you see the infinite possibilities right in this very video. Thank you for this wonderful reaction to an ultra fine song. It made my day.

Classic Doobie Brothers-------they just jam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That song was playing on the radio in the 70s, so it had been out for a while before the concert, and there are a hundred live performances of that song on here.
Perhaps my most favorite Doobie Brothers jam! Great performance. Wished I could have been there.
