During that period of time the Doobie Brothers lived next door to my place, well one door down. We got along great. My roommate was a jazz drummer so music was everywhere. They did piss me off before I let it go. They parked their big truck, trailer on our road in our little dirt road town of Montara, south of San Francisco on the coast. We couldn't get around the big rig to drive up the hill! They were nice people all in all. Also used to see Neil Young come down from his mountain ranch to buy perogies at the little Italian Mkt. The cool thing was none of them wanted or were treated special. They just wanted to hide away from the public and be real. It was a great time to be alive.
"We are more connected than we think." 🤟🔥 Great music has that ability. It's timeless, pays no mind to societal norms, and has a gravitational pull stronger than a black hole. Keep at it, Jamel!
I was in my high school marching band in the mid 70s. Every time we played China Grove and Long Train Runnin'...you'd think we were having a party, haha!! We had a blast playing the Doobies' songs.
And...we love that you fill our request line. In the 70’s we would call our local radio stations and request songs, then wait for the DJ to say our name and play the song! See where we’re comin’ from?
Texas Magnolia I remember calling KLOS in LA and requesting that smell by Skynyrd. It was memorial weekend and we were headed to the kern river..the DJ came on and said I'm playing this for a very sexy lady...said my name...we were screaming in the car! It was awesome. Such simple things..
Yes! I have been trying to figure out what this reminded me of! You hit it on the head. It is a lot like waiting to hear the song you requested on the radio. 😊
That's right, we did. The actual DJ would answer his own phone. One time I requested a song the guy didn't have, but the next day he dug up another record by the same band and played it just for me. (Thanks, Al Otero at KABQ!) Many years later I called a Bay Area DJ and asked for Rush..... That did not go well. He couldn't give me a straight answer as to why, but basically corporate HQ had decided that "that music" wasn't right for "this demographic ". Psssshhhh. Thanks Jamel for bringing back the good times.
When I was 15, I walked to a Doobie Brothers concert. Blossom Music Center near Akron Ohio. Was worth the 7 mile trek with my closest friend.. We ended up crashing at his brother's house cause we couldn't make it back home at 3 am. Stoned from the air in the concert grounds. Memories...
This song is very emotional for me. The tune came out about a month before I started my freshman year in college. I was in the dorm room and my roommate takes out his Gibson SG and plays the intro from China Grove. I was a big city kid and he was from a farm near a town of 100 population. We were from two very different worlds and music brought us together for life. I live in MN and lives in CA. We had lunch together a couple of months ago.
dmelanconjr if you want see a top notch live version of this check out Leonid and Friends- genius Russian/ Ukrainian musicians who recreate perfectly the original Chicago songs. Your mind will be blown. Jamel, check this out too! ua-cam.com/video/9_torOTK5qc/v-deo.html
"We are more connected than you think!"....words to live by my friend....thanks for the trip down to the 70s Jamel!....I can almost feel the shag carpet in the ....Shaggin" Wagon!!
I had a Shaggin' Wagon. It was a '74 Dodge van with vinyl tuck 'n roll walls, velour tucked ceiling, 3" foam floor covered in splendid brown shag, a swamp cooler on the roof, CB radio and the best part? No windows in the back. Good times.
What makes the Doobie's so great is their variety. Black Water to China Grove sums it up nicely. *Every*one on the dance floor with that initial guitar lick.
I remember cruising in my '70 Challenger listening to this song with my foot somewhere south of legal, grooving to this beat. I didn't recognize the title but I knew the song as soon as I heard the first two cords. Thanks for the memories! Cheers, Steve
Jamal , your reactions put such a big smile on my face and does my heart so good. I can tell you're really getting into it and I love it .It's amazing what REAL music can do and how it makes you feel. Watching these videos reminds me of about 20 or 25 years ago when my teenage daughters wanted to introduce me to so.e " new" music . They started playing C C R and the doobies and skynyrd. They almost flipped out when I started telling them I knew all this stuff and telling them other great groups to check out. Blew their minds that their " old man" knew about such cool music.
First. China Grove is from 1973. Hit up Long Train Running, Black Water, Listen To The Music, It Keeps You Runnin', Minute By Minute, Real Love, etc. Tons of great Doobie Brothers. Oh yeah..."which Doobie you be"-Raj. Lol.
Love anything by the Doobie Brothers, their music was so good, and got people on the dance floor. The memories from this music takes me back to my college days!❤
You make this old grandpa proud! My daughters and grandkids have been raised on this music, and they know the bands, and still listen. Doobies rock! I was 16 when this was a hit single in 1973.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love that you appreciate the music of the 70's! It's pure joy watching you movin' and groovin' to my era of music. It puts a big smile on my face!
Doobies- ‘Clear as the Driven Snow’, ‘Jesus is Just Alright’, ‘Black Water’, ‘Daughters of the Sea~Flying Cloud’, ‘Rockin’ down the Highway’, ‘Take me in your arms (Rock me a lil while)...
Strictly Soul Man I agree! I love their music but there are 2 of their songs that I cannot live without, on my forever playlist, and Clear as the Driven Snow is one of the 2, the other, Daughters of the Sea, another masterpiece
1972... My first day of high school, 9th grade, before school, this song was playing and the varsity cheerleaders were practicing their routine to it. This song always reminds me of that day. Awesome song. Awesome band. Rock on...👍
I was a kid when I saw the Doobie Brothers and Chicago and other groups that I can't remember back in the 70's in an outdoor venue in Elizabeth NJ. Sitting on the grass (Since there were no seats in this venue) having a blast and getting stoned from the fog floating by...if you know what I mean. One of the best concerts I've ever been to. Great reaction. You got to check out Chicago!
DITTO ON THE "JESUS IS ALRIGHT"!!! My church group did this in church, it was AWESOME!!! BW~ China Grove is a town in TX!!!! We listened to this loud & proud when it came out!! 1975 rocked w/ the Doobie Bros in it!!! ♫ ♪ ♫
Thanks for being so appreciative of 3 of my favorite bands. Steely Dan, the Doobie Bros. and Rage against the machine Because of you I have been listening to, James Brown, RUN DMC, Public Enemy, Kool Moe Dee and others. I've discovered that when music is good, it's good. Doesn't matter the style.
This reminds me of why everyone loves The Doobie Bros. No gimmicks, or BS. Just honest, from the heart Rock and Roll. Lots more where this came from. They were stars of the 70s.
I'm a 62yr old. I absolutely love classic rock. I have watched many reactors to many songs and they loved it. I wish they loved it enough to carry on with such great music.
I love The Doobie Brothers and it is hard to believe these are the first two songs by them you've reacted to. Wow, you are in for a treat! They have many great songs, some of which you've probably heard before, like these songs. I would love for you to react to "Black Water" or "Long Train Running," but you've probably heard them, so please react to "Dark Eyed Cajun Woman." It's a great song and was a minor hit, and I'm sure you'll like it.
Thank you!!! Your work is so important as it is history. Glad it’s being passed on!! Love the music of my youth. “China Grove” is my favorite Doobie song.
Music like this is always in the either brother. Welcome to The 60s 70s 80s. Our music rocked with grand melody and arrangement. Thank you. It is quite wonderful to see you dig it. I wish all the young men your age could get a good taste of it. Wonderful job!
The name came from their early days. They said " we smoked a lot of a certain cigarette. and we used that name for our group" Not a word for word quote but you get my drift. I did see the interview tho. It was before Michael McDonald joined. Way before. The Living on the Fault Line was a classic in itself
Jamel I was so fortunate to be in my late teens early 20's in the late 60's early 70's. I got to see so many of these bands live, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, ELO, Meatloaf, The Moody Blues, The Guess Who, Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath and the list goes on. I wish you could have been with me, you would have had the time of your life!
I'm only 3 years older than you. I grew up on this music. My mom was rock and my dad drove me insane with his country music lol My aunt loved doowop and Elvis. I love all music and I have to know all of the lyrics. I love R&B, Heavy Metal (Slipknot is my favorite band), pop, Rock. You name it! Love your channel!
I don’t remember if you’ve done a reaction to, Mountain “Mississippi Queen” yet, definitely if not then you need to. Also Black Water by the Doobie Brothers is another one you might have heard before
Around ten year ago, my 19 year old son came with me to see The Doobie Brothers open up for Bad Company in concert and he didn't realize he know some Doobie Brothers songs until he heard them during the show but he really lit up when he heard Chinagrove. This is such a classic song. I love watching younger people discover this music we grew up with and in some ways took for granted. I don't think we realized we''d still be loving this music 40 and 50 years later. I still buy CDs and albums and still love my music from this era as well as discovering new bands which play this kind of music. Keep enjoying this music.
My boyfriend loved this band, particularly "The Captain and Me' album from around 1972. I too became such a fan! So much so that he bought tickets and took me 125 miles away to a concert in Dallas. This was in my senior year in high school (73-74). We married that spring and here we are 46 years later still rockin' on.
I just found your channel!! You understand me!! I just turned 63 yesterday and what a gift you are!! Grew up in rural wa state in the 60s listening to all these "oldies" dancing and singing.... A hard hard time with riots, Vietnam war, assassinations, birth control pills, free love, o man .... The doors! Supremes! Beatles, so many... All of them together made it magical. I'm making a list for you. Start w Martha Reeves and the Vandellas Dancing in the Street. Lightening Strikes, Polk Salad Annie Tony Joe White best version ever. Blue Velvet Bobby Vinton. Unchain my Heart Joe Cocker. Ronnie Wood 7 days. See if you can find the video of Freddy Mercury's mom and sister telling his story. I found your channel as I was listening to Steely Dan songs, hopefully seeing them live 6/4/20 with my high school bud Courtney! 45 years since we graduated, 1975! Anyway, I'm hooked!! How about the band Yes??? Close to the Edge! The album Swiss Movement Les McCann and Eddie Harris 💙💙💙💙💙 music has saved me!!
One of the greatest radio hits of the 70s along with black water
Paul may be a Polock like me and we all knew the Doobies, China Grove, Black Water, and Long Train Running!!!
Black Water is one of those timeless songs that will NEVER get old.
I think you'd really like Chicago Transit Authority! !
Intoduction is a great way to get into them.
@@christaylor1640 I already know it brother. I have it on vinyl. I am 53. I love them!!
@@christaylor1640 Do you know ua-cam.com/video/xwYV4H9rU6o/v-deo.html
"We are more connected than we think!" Amen.
You're right. This music Should be played today. Nothing like it.
About damn time the Doobies finally are going into the RRHOF this year - way the heck overdue!
Damn straight! I had tickets for their 50th anniversary tour, and it got postponed due to COVID19. At least they're honoring it a year later.
At least 10 years overdue
@@windsordawn cant wait to see them next year WITH Michael McDonald. Woohoo
Way past due!! Seen then 3 times. 2 in which I remember Lol Wink Wink!!
Doobie Brothers - Jesus is just alright
This one is an absolute must-react!
Yes... maybe with a follow up vid for Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit In The Sky". Let's get some electric church up in here!
The guitar solo in Jesus is just alright is sublime
Agree highly!
+1
"This is China GROOVE?" You're just precious!!
He's very grovey.
bless his heart
James, their bus broke down in China Grove. The people in the town helped them and fed them. The Doobie Brothers wrote this song as a thank you.
wow im 46 never knew that .... that is amazing
@@ronaldhorsley1600 "While there is a real China Grove, Texas, Johnston's lyrics about the community are fictional"
Every time they tour, they play in China Grove as well
Donnie Roye not true.
China Grove is very small suburb down around San Antonio, it is a real town.
During that period of time the Doobie Brothers lived next door to my place, well one door down. We got along great. My roommate was a jazz drummer so music was everywhere.

Enquiring minds want to know! ;-)

"We are more connected than we think." 🤟🔥
Great music has that ability. It's timeless, pays no mind to societal norms, and has a gravitational pull stronger than a black hole. Keep at it, Jamel!
So true! Keep on enjoying, folks!
I don't think the doobies Incorporated that devil hand sign bulshit that I'm sick and tired of seeing
@@paulkwiatkowski1059, I am sorry I offended you. I wish you nothing but the best.
It is physically impossible not to crank this up as soon as the opening riffs hit.
That’s heading down the highway to see my girlfriend music. That was 40 years ago now she’s my wife, enjoying this music with my granddaughters!!
David Goodridge I got me one of those too! What a Blessing!
Love this!!
My 16 year old granddaughter loves the Doobies. She knows all the lyrics. I've seen them 3 times. They are soooooo good. Doobies rock.
I was in my high school marching band in the mid 70s. Every time we played China Grove and Long Train Runnin'...you'd think we were having a party, haha!! We had a blast playing the Doobies' songs.

When you want a shift from the Doobie Brothers check out some BTO-Bachman Turner Overdrive...
BTO rock is my life
Let it ride is one of the best songs imo
@@rileylaird8536 .. BTO!.. One of my fav's and yes, Let It Ride is an awesome song!!
I recommend "Not Fragile"... still on my playlist.
@@ausfuhrpramienjagar Let it Kicks butt!! Love that song so much!
Oh my gosh I love the Doobie Brothers. I'll be seeing them in North Carolina in June I can't wait
May I suggest Chicago - “25 or 6 to 4”?
That’ll be another one he knows, and yet doesn’t know he knows.
Travis Jordan ...guaranteed!

I went to high school and jammed with Pat Simmons of the Doobies. He was brilliant then.
Jamel - The beauty of asking you to react to our favorite songs is that you APPRECIATE THEM!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
"We are more connected than you think!"....words to live by my friend....thanks for the trip down to the 70s Jamel!....I can almost feel the shag carpet in the ....Shaggin" Wagon!!

On another note, try "Mr. Blue Sky" by Electric Light Orchestra...guaranteed smiles!
Yes! I love ELO.
Also love ELO's song 'Confusion.'
Oh sweetie, this band kept us rocking in the 70's! I have loved them ever since.
I remember cruising in my '70 Challenger listening to this song with my foot somewhere south of legal, grooving to this beat. I didn't recognize the title but I knew the song as soon as I heard the first two cords. Thanks for the memories! Cheers, Steve
South of legal yeah
Every day I thank God I was born when I was bcuz I grew up with the best music. Born 58. Graduated 76. So blessed.
You are gonna love "Black Water", "It Keeps You Running", "Jesus Is Alright" & "Take Me In Your Arms". All classic Doobs!!
In that order!
Black Water please.
Not to be critical but China Grove not China Groove and yes please please check out Black Water
"Rockin' Down the Highway" Live at Wolftrap version is GREAT.
I love your face when you’re gobsmacked. Your reactions are a delight.
I'm 66 & have been to quite a few concerts in my day & I have to say they were probably my favorite concert! Love this band!
My favorite concerts ever were the Doobie Brothers at the Fabulous Forum.

I can tell you're really getting into it and I love it .It's amazing what REAL music can do and how it makes you feel.

Doobie Brothers without Michael McDonald, Black Water, another great one! Love your reactions!!
Yes! His voice is like scratching a chalkboard to me.
You make this old grandpa proud! My daughters and grandkids have been raised on this music, and they know the bands, and still listen. Doobies rock! I was 16 when this was a hit single in 1973.
Check out "Jesus is just alright", "Eyes of Silver", " Black Water"
I love when Jamel feels the music in his shoulders and he moves them up and down.
Saw the Doobies open up for Steely Dan a few years ago. It was unbelievable. Keep going with both you wont be disappointed.
I saw that tour in Charlotte.
Stephen Adams: Musical Interpretations & Satire Saw it in Raleigh!

long train running by the doobies" awsome song"
LOVE me ALOT of Doobie Brothers, have seen them live 9x, I was blessed to grow up with ALL the best music, 60's thru 90's until R&R became classic 💜✌🎶
Phil-Dee would say, “They ain’t related. But they Doo B Brothers.”
I suggest “Another Park Another Sunday” by The Doobie Brothers. A great groovy song!
So glad I grew up with this and I live in a time where I can listen to this at anytime, and of course listen to you.
I am going to be 70 years old this March 5th and I really enjoy seeing your reactions to music when I was young. Thank you.
Doobies "Black Water"
Maaan sometimes I can't recall what it is I'm looking for but I remember every word to every Doobie Brothers song
"Black Water", please.
That entire album is a classic bar-band masterpiece.
This this this this this this this this this this this this this this THIS!!!!
Dooble Brothers are perfection in their music. No one could match their style, and many tried!!! Thanks, Jamel for playing their classics.
Hey if your going in this era of rock check out Three Dog Night!
I'm so thankful I grew up listening to 70's-80's music GREAT music by GREAT bands
Doobies- ‘Clear as the Driven Snow’, ‘Jesus is Just Alright’, ‘Black Water’, ‘Daughters of the Sea~Flying Cloud’, ‘Rockin’ down the Highway’, ‘Take me in your arms (Rock me a lil while)...
Darla Nilsen Clear as the driven snow is a masterpiece.
Strictly Soul Man I agree! I love their music but there are 2 of their songs that I cannot live without, on my forever playlist, and Clear as the Driven Snow is one of the 2, the other, Daughters of the Sea, another masterpiece
Music of the 1960's/70's had so much more depth than modern music. Check out 'It keeps you runnin".
I’m telling you doobie brothers “long train running” you will NOT be disappointed!!
1972... My first day of high school, 9th grade, before school, this song was playing and the varsity cheerleaders were practicing their routine to it. This song always reminds me of that day. Awesome song. Awesome band. Rock on...👍
Great choice for your first by the Doobies!! And this song is still played today!!
I was a kid when I saw the Doobie Brothers and Chicago and other groups that I can't remember back in the 70's in an outdoor venue in Elizabeth NJ.

This reminds me of why everyone loves The Doobie Bros. No gimmicks, or BS. Just honest, from the heart Rock and Roll. Lots more where this came from. They were stars of the 70s.
And that intro guitar riff incredibly memorable.
No auto tune needed!
They were the ultimate biker band!

Oh yeah...Doobie Brothers Black Water. You'll love it
All good songs, but my fave is "Another Park, Another Sunday" especially, the "Live At Wolftrap" version.... great stuff.
This song always takes me back to high school. No matter what was going on in the game, I’d always look at the band from the field and smile!!
Or affectionately known as "The Doobies." Anything by this band...you will enjoy!
Grew up listening to this and never really stopped. So glad you love it too! I think 70s music is always going to be my favorite.

'73 in the University gym, packed out, and I'm with the crowd standing just 3 rows from the stage- incredible concert; those harmonies were amazing
New subscriber here! Doobie Brothers, What a Fool Believes!!! Michael McDonald sings, It's great!
released in 1973, still rockin' & toe tappin'... 47 years later & it still beats anything from today's popular music
Black Water, Listen To The Music,
Oh! Listen to the Music! Yes!
This is one of those perfect radio songs from the day. Close your eyes and you can imagine riding along on a summer afternoon. Flawless.
Think this is their best. Just love this song.
Love this song too. But I think Long train runnin is better.
@@kroft6799 Both are just fantastic. Two of the all-time great intro riffs - one electric, one acoustic -on the same album.

Try "Takin It To The Street"' The first lyric is "You Don't Know Me But I'm Your Brother"
Jamel... YOU ARE AN OLD SOUL!!!!! Thank you for bringing REAL music to the forefront... WE NEED THIS TODAY. Seriously! Hugs, from Mesa, AZ
I don’t remember if you’ve done a reaction to, Mountain “Mississippi Queen” yet, definitely if not then you need to. Also Black Water by the Doobie Brothers is another one you might have heard before
Around ten year ago, my 19 year old son came with me to see The Doobie Brothers open up for Bad Company in concert and he didn't realize he know some Doobie Brothers songs until he heard them during the show but he really lit up when he heard Chinagrove. This is such a classic song. I love watching younger people discover this music we grew up with and in some ways took for granted. I don't think we realized we''d still be loving this music 40 and 50 years later. I still buy CDs and albums and still love my music from this era as well as discovering new bands which play this kind of music. Keep enjoying this music.
Another great Doobie's track with Michael McDonald is "Taking It To The Streets". Another fire track with a potent message.
My boyfriend loved this band, particularly "The Captain and Me' album from around 1972. I too became such a fan! So much so that he bought tickets and took me 125 miles away to a concert in Dallas. This was in my senior year in high school (73-74). We married that spring and here we are 46 years later still rockin' on.
"Sout City Midnight Lady" is the softer side of the Doobie Brothers, but it's my ex-wife's favorite and you'll dig it.
I just found your channel!! You understand me!! I just turned 63 yesterday and what a gift you are!! Grew up in rural wa state in the 60s listening to all these "oldies" dancing and singing.... A hard hard time with riots, Vietnam war, assassinations, birth control pills, free love, o man .... The doors! Supremes! Beatles, so many... All of them together made it magical. I'm making a list for you. Start w Martha Reeves and the Vandellas Dancing in the Street. Lightening Strikes, Polk Salad Annie Tony Joe White best version ever. Blue Velvet Bobby Vinton. Unchain my Heart Joe Cocker. Ronnie Wood 7 days. See if you can find the video of Freddy Mercury's mom and sister telling his story. I found your channel as I was listening to Steely Dan songs, hopefully seeing them live 6/4/20 with my high school bud Courtney! 45 years since we graduated, 1975!
Anyway, I'm hooked!! How about the band Yes??? Close to the Edge! The album Swiss Movement Les McCann and Eddie Harris 💙💙💙💙💙 music has saved me!!
