Que maravilla!!!!!!!!!! Desde Valencia España. Estamos hundidos por la dana, ahí 205 muertos y Sanchez y su puto gobierno sin hacer nada!!!!!!!!!!😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😮
Yes we were the lucky ones growing up in the 70s but since then some or all my friends have passed away God I loved the 70s and would do almost anything to go back to that time in my life
It truly was amazing. One of the best era's ever. Last decade before the world went crazy. I loved every second of it. Best of times with a few hiccups but we handled things better back then.
I was born in '67, so I was only about 5 when this aired, and definitely sound asleep. But my MomnDad kept the radio on, especially Mom, and I definitely remember hearing and loving "WHOAOOOAA, Listen to the music!!! All the Tiiiiiiiiime!" Such a Blessing to have grown up experiencing such Amazing and Talented Musicians! Love and Miss you 1970s, The Last American Decade!
I was born in '47. After 4 years of military service I got into bands like the Doobies, which I liked a lot. However, I think they were wrecked by the addition of Michael McDonald's pop-music sensibilities and incomprehendible lyrics.
@@paulmartos7730 You're my beloved uncle's age. He was a Vietnam veteran, so thank you for your service. You're the first person in my experience to say that they disapprove of Michael McDonald. I respect your opinion. Personally, I've always been a huge fan of his work with the Doobies and other great musicians, like Fagan and Becker of Steely Dan. Wait, are they pop culture sellouts too, despite being great musicians?
I was born in 1959 and born again at age 24 on 12-26-1983 and I just celebrated my 40th year anniversary walking down the Narrow Road with Jesus and after 40 yrs I can honestly say with all my heart; Jesus is just Allright with me! 🎶 🎵
I was born in 1962 and almost 10 when this amazing show came on air. I remember laying in front of the TV every Friday night with the sound down so my parents were none the wiser. 😄❤️
Soooooooo true... listening to great performances of Midnight Special at low volume!! Exactly!!! I remember watching David Bowie performing Space Oddity for the first time on the Midnight Special... WOW!!!
The Midnight Special was the best music show on tv and on Friday nights at midnight. This is best lineup of the Doobie Brothers right here. 🎸 🎸 🎸🎹🎹 🥁 🥁
I lived for The Midnight Special on Fridays nights when I was a teen in the 70's. Seeing my favorite bands perform some of my favorite songs live on TV. It was the next best thing to actually seeing them in concert. And this is a great performance of a great song.
A tragic situation brought them together. Corporate music kept them together. Michael should have ventured on his own sooner. He’s too nice of a man to admit it but he didn’t need a group to be exceptional.
People love to 'blame' McDonald for the change to their sound, but you have to remember Johnston quit the band and they needed someone to fill those huge boots. So they brought him in. He didn't kick down the door and exclaim, "I'm in the band now!"
It was a different musical aesthetic when Mac joined the band. They needed something to revive their flagging musical fortunes and he was the ticket. A lot of people didn't like the change in style, but it brought them additional success in record sales and radio play they wouldn't have had otherwise. They found a new audience. And Mac is still with them when they tour now.
@@OFLHLGZ28Such disrespect. Michael is a musical force in his own right. As much as I love the original Doobies sound, and probably prefer it, they were lucky to have acquired his services. 'Ruined' my ass.
The Doobie Brothers bring back nothing but hazy but happy memories, I'm only fifty but grew up with older brothers and sisters who blessed me with their taste in music. Thanks to them I became a huge fan of this band and whenever I hear a song of theirs I always smile 😁 loving this channel keep up the good work 👍🏻
Love the Doobies & especially Tom Johnston w/head band, soft wavy long hair & that voice ooof 😅 Saw them about 15 yrs ago, front row we got the party started & everyone up & dancing, can’t stand going to rock n’ roll shows & everyone sitting down.
I can't stand it when everyone stands up. I want to sit and enjoy the show without people blocking my view. Standing a concert is the height of rudeness. It's no better than standing to watch a movie.
In a world of rhythm and rhyme, Let the music take you on a chime. Feel the beat, let it guide your soul, As melodies and lyrics make you whole. Close your eyes, let the sound surround, With every note, a story is found. From jazz to rock, hip-hop to blues, In the music, find your own muse. Whether it's a symphony or a catchy tune, Let the melodies lift you, like a helium balloon. Let the harmonies carry you to distant lands, Where the power of music truly expands. So listen closely, to the magic in the air, Let the music ignite a fire, a flare. Feel the rhythm coursing through your veins, As the song plays on, let it erase all pains. Still listening in Fresno Ca 11.11.23
Great stuff from my twenties. It's strangely both happy and sad seeing these great vids from back in the day. Happy to relive the good times and great music. Sad when I hear what pop music has become.
I caught the tail end of the 70s my father who never listened to music wasn't into music took me to see Led Zeppelin when I was 14 years old because I wanted to so bad I know I tortured him but thanks to him and my mother they let me pursue music Doobie Brothers Allman Brothers Led Zeppelin Aerosmith Jimi Hendrix Frank Marino Robin Trower then I saw Stevie Ray Vaughan and got me a Fender Stratocaster in 1983 saw the Doobie Brothers once with Joe Walsh a couple days after Stevie Ray passed away in Detroit when they dedicated the show to Stevie Ray there wasn't a dry eye in the house I love the Doobie Brothers Bob Seger the Silver Bullet Band Kiss all the bands in the 70s just phenomenal Alice Cooper the list goes on God bless the 70s can't forget about Grand Funk Railroad either what a great time
I can remember trying my hardest to stay up late enough to catch this show as my parents allowed it on that night only. Sometimes I would make it. More often I didn’t. Most times I just listened to late night KSAN out of San Francisco. That was a great station back then. They played album sides in the later hours. The King Biscuit Flower Hour was a staple.
Ok I saw this....I was 14 and GOT GROUNDED FOR SLIPPING OUT AT LATE NITE TO WATCH...😁....My daddy covered for me.....fast forward ...I will be 66 July 2024...And will be in KNOXVILLE TENNESSEE to watch my DOOBIES....GUYS we have grown up together.....❤..you took my heart when I was 13yrs old ...STILL GOT IT!!!....;))) ROCK ON!! till we meet ....;)) TENNESSEE Girl forever!!🤘😁♥️
First time I heard the opening line for this song I was hooked..... fantastic song and Gary's voice is phenomenal and the whole band were magnificent... Brilliant.. utterly incredible.
One of the most remarkable things about 70,s music is the incredible amount of black bass players that played in mostly white bands!! Great music and musicians have no colour
@@Marco-AurelioHernandez No sir, my intentions were to highlight the diversity of humanity during the 70’s…Something that is void in today’s world! Good Day
The seventies were without a doubt the best time for me. Loved everything but the music was beyond exceptional. I'm so thankful to have experiened that time.
This is special. Thank you for this gift. Someone knows I'm a fan! Since this was done in March of 1973, I hadn't yet turned 7yrs.old, until May of 1973. We used to sing Doobie Brothers songs at summer camp, 1975-1977.
Was on my way to see The Doobie Brothers and got into a flash flood and had to turn around. . Would've been my first concert. . . Hated that I missed them.
The thing about The Doobie Brothers was/is it’s always about The SONG. Not one member outshines another , and the contribution is centered on the song itself. Some bands showcase a member or 2 , but the DB’s is a sum, equal of all parts.

For those of us who grew up in the 70s - my God, were we lucky or what?
As someone born in '92, you most certainly were lucky.
Even luckier if born before that and you could hear "the birth of Rock 'n Roll" from the beginning. (Yes, I'm THAT old, and still digging it)
Very very lucky. The greatest music ever.
Incredibly lucky!
So lucky! In a 90 baby, sadly I will never get to see most of these amazing 60’s & 70’s classic rock bands live 😭
This is original Doobies. What memories.
Actually it’s not original original….but it was the next version and the best.
Que maravilla!!!!!!!!!! Desde Valencia España. Estamos hundidos por la dana, ahí 205 muertos y Sanchez y su puto gobierno sin hacer nada!!!!!!!!!!😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😮

70's must have been a fucking amazing time.
Love that American flag on his guitar. No politics - just happy to be free and rockin.
It truly was amazing. One of the best era's ever. Last decade before the world went crazy. I loved every second of it. Best of times with a few hiccups but we handled things better back then.
Yeah absolutely no politics but just the American flag........ there has to be a place where stupidity stops, don't you think so?
Graduated high school in 1975. If we knew then what we know now we might have saved the world. Good times. When it came to music we had it all
It was.
Proud to be American.

We got to grow up during some of the most fantastic damn rocking music ever! Wouldn’t have wanted it any other way!😃❤️☮️🙏

The Midnight Special was the
best music show on tv and on
Friday nights at midnight.
This is best lineup of the
Doobie Brothers right here.
🎸 🎸 🎸🎹🎹 🥁 🥁
That Les Paul is gorgeous
I was thinking the same thing--woah...
Good music never dies. This song will still be playing somewhere long after we are all gone from this world.
The REAL Doobie Brothers.
Fuckin A!
Yes! No Michael McDonald
Amen!
ya !
YES! Absolutely!

So much better than MTV because it was live bands playing their music. No tricks. Loved this.
They were a jam band. I saw them in DC in ‘74. They were a great live act. They were never the same after Michael McDonald joined the band.
A tragic situation brought them together. Corporate music kept them together. Michael should have ventured on his own sooner. He’s too nice of a man to admit it but he didn’t need a group to be exceptional.
People love to 'blame' McDonald for the change to their sound, but you have to remember Johnston quit the band and they needed someone to fill those huge boots. So they brought him in. He didn't kick down the door and exclaim, "I'm in the band now!"
Nope. He ruined them…..

I'm here for the Dobbie Brothers ❤
1973, 15 years old and the music was just awesome!! Didn't realize how good we had it!!!
A universal anthem for the ages. This band’s harmonies are sublime!
Love the Doobies & especially Tom Johnston w/head band, soft wavy long hair & that voice ooof 😅

I can't stand it when everyone stands up. I want to sit and enjoy the show without people blocking my view. Standing a concert is the height of rudeness. It's no better than standing to watch a movie.
Tyron's bass lines are some of the best of anyone. I love how the drums.lock in with him.
Sitting in vondelpark amsterdam listening to the music….
So good it almost brings a tear to my eye. God how great was music back then?
Had the best music, best cars, cheap gas, cheap smokes.
I was 20 in 73 and saw them live for the first time. Since then I’ve attended 29 of their concerts in 50+ years, and they sound better than ever
So lucky x
They sound perfect. Absolutely perfect.
Tom was about 25 when this was recorded. We were all so young then
The episode where Neil Sedaka sits in is magic.
How many of us wore out several 8 tracks listening to the doobies!
😂😂😂I still have an 8 track player with marshal Tucker band in it ! 😂😂
Vinyl too!
In a world of rhythm and rhyme,
Let the music take you on a chime.
Feel the beat, let it guide your soul,
As melodies and lyrics make you whole.
Close your eyes, let the sound surround,
With every note, a story is found.
From jazz to rock, hip-hop to blues,
In the music, find your own muse.
Whether it's a symphony or a catchy tune,
Let the melodies lift you, like a helium balloon.
Let the harmonies carry you to distant lands,
Where the power of music truly expands.
So listen closely, to the magic in the air,
Let the music ignite a fire, a flare.
Feel the rhythm coursing through your veins,
As the song plays on, let it erase all pains. Still listening in Fresno Ca 11.11.23

I grew up in South San Jose. To us, they were our awesome local band. The Doobies did rock their way and it made millions of fans love them forever.
Love listening to all the vocal styles of the old bands.
What a band ! Great musicianship.
Great vocals. Every song makes me tap a foot, bounce my head and quietly sing along. Love the Doobies !!!

This is all live. These guys were really talented unlike the manufactured shit of today.
The Doobie Brothers got some nice country rock tracks….
Two drummers, three guitars (bass player holds it down) and harmonies galore. God damn that is a jam. Thanks for posting.
Right on
Before lip syncing and all the technology there was pure live music. Love the Doobies and miss the Midnight Soecial.
Tiran Porter is an amazing bass player. Really makes the grove happen.
66' baby. When artists were truly ARTISTS!
they've stayed true all these years later. They're a good live band.
i was at this show..so nice to see it again.. wonderful flashback ❤
Im 30 and feel cheated. Ive grown up in an awful period of history. The love and peace of the 60s is dead. So sad 😢
The Doobie brothers in this line up sooooo belong in rock and roll hall of fame
An American treasure
Sushmita: walking down memory lane... 60's and 70's is priceless ❤ real music 🎶 unlike today 😮 computer generated 😢
This song takes me right back to the early '70s.
I love this. Thank you. All time favorite Doobies for me is "China Grove," but this is a very close second.
I can remember trying my hardest to stay up late enough to catch this show as my parents allowed it on that night only. Sometimes I would make it. More often I didn’t. Most times I just listened to late night KSAN out of San Francisco. That was a great station back then. They played album sides in the later hours. The King Biscuit Flower Hour was a staple.
I was 13 when this was a hit on the radio back in the day, one of my fav doobie songs.
Tom workin' hard!

The “house band” of the Hell’s Angels. The first two rows of seats were reserved for them in those days
One of the best rock songs ever written and played by one of the best rock bands ever to grace a stage...
THE GROOVE IS SO TIGHT!
The Midnight Special put on another phenomenal group on the show, and the endless talent they put on this show is simply amazing 🎉🎉
Love that bulb wall backdrop.
What a great post of a magical song from my youth! Fantastic singing and playing. Terrific bass playing!
Saw them live in the 70’s. Think I was 13 years old. Great band for the time. Some songs had meaning then. ✌️
A very good friend of mine turned me on to The Doobie brothers, I'm so grateful for this amazing music.
REAL MUSIC!!❤
One of the most remarkable things about 70,s music is the incredible amount of black bass players that played in mostly white bands!! Great music and musicians have no colour
Don't you think by simply the mention of 'black bass players' and 'white bands' you're making sure that music has the color element?

@@revvyhevvy Yes sir..🎼🎸
Oohhh weee! When Tiran Porter joined Doobies , they took flight !
This song resonated in my brain throughout boot camp while I was in the Army.
First real concert i attended in Buffalo,NY. DOOBIES in 1974
No Matter when you listened to the Doobie brothers back in the day of iconic 70s or 2024 - great music!! Love ALL the Doobie Brothers songs!!!!
My parents were 20 yrs old living life and got to great concerts and listen to unbelievable music ❤
The best era to have grown up in…glad I was there..music was brilliant 🥰🥰🥰
Got to get all these versions of this classic song!
When this was done, I wasn't even 7 yet!
Very very best good
70.s Best Rock Ever !!
This was better than the studio version by far ! No lip syncing just pure talent
The seventies were without a doubt the best time for me. Loved everything but the music was beyond exceptional. I'm so thankful to have experiened that time.
This is one of those bands I will never forget. Heard it at friend’s house after hs school when it first came out.
That was cool! They were one of my favorite bands back then. I love their harmonies! ✌️
Family members always have great harmonies and the brothers Doobie are no exception!
Me too, me too 🎉🎉
I loved listening to the Doobie Brothers back in the late 70s right up until now, they have an amazing sound with amazing lyrics.
Seen them in concert 3 times over the years....always GREAT!!!
Wild that music sounded this great and looked this cool 50 years ago
The best version of this song on here.
Going to see them tonight here in Miami Fl. But unfortunately Tom Johnston missing this show and a few more due to emergency back surgery.
i heard he's off the tour for good. i hope not for long. i hope the surgery goes well. he can recover and then be back for some shows.
I worked for a company that made speakers and audio components. This song was what we played, testing these products. Man, did our facility rock!
Makes sense. This song is completely “full” when it’s the studio version. If you can’t hear an instrument you know you’re having an issue.
This is special.
Thank you for this gift.
Someone knows I'm a fan!
Since this was done in March of 1973, I hadn't yet turned 7yrs.old, until May of 1973.
We used to sing Doobie Brothers songs at summer camp, 1975-1977.
Seventies, the generation full of dreams...in my heart
I almost cried watching this.
Mr.Dave Mason
I love you !
Please Come to Japan.
I am waiting Mason.
Yeahh. Lisen tothe music forever and ever. All the time.💪🏼🔥❤️💋🫂🌞🌛😏
Love me some Doobie Brothers
What a great, early childhood jam in my parents' car!
Summer of 73...
This song was on the radio A LOT.
Loved it.
Doobie bros had talent and they had feelin.
I saw the Doobie Brothers in Sydney in 1973, I was 14 years old. Great memory, they were truly great
Oh my word... how good were these guys? It's a flashback from riding in the car with my mother in the late 70's and early 80's. This music is sublime!
Was on my way to see The Doobie Brothers and got into a flash flood and had to turn around. . Would've been my first concert. . . Hated that I missed them.
Man, that’s no fun…
The lead singer has an amazing voice
We all knew the Doobies by the lead singers and their unique groove.
So handsome Tom❤
I'm sure I must have seen this performance when it aired - was a huge Doobie Bros fan. Stampede tour was the first concert I ever saw.
Wow what a voice just so good 😉👍
This is the ultimate Good Vibes song. If only all people could be like this together.
Damn
I'm in love with Tom Johnston.
.........and I'm a 60 year old married dude
