2024 who's still listening 🎶
🤚
Reading his book
ME!
"You don't know me but I'm your brother" .... one of the best opening lines ever!
THIS SHYT IS FIRE right up there with NPG...if u no u know
Word
We need this vibe now in 2023
Straight facts!!!! 💯💯💯💯💯💯
That's so funny that you say that this is a great opening line because I literally just text my friend with that lyric and anybody who you send that to they'll know the song of course if they are of a certain age❤ Michael McDonald vocals are just so awesome and he has such a distinct voice that you can never forget
This is Black American gospel music. No wonder I was attracted to their music as a church raised youngster. Going to see them in concert this year!
Yes!❤️🎶
Me too. I will be seeing them in September ❤
@@rainingblueflowers990 in Concord, ca?
especially clear when he has his moments of solo unaccompanied piano. Where when did he drink this up?
No lie, I was introduced to the Doobie Brothers as a little kid thanks to What's Happening. Been a fan ever since.
"Which Doobie you be?" - Raajer Thomas 😂😂
Same here!🙌🏾💯
Same here. 😊
I remember when Dwayne or Rerun dropped the cassette recorder to illegally record the Doobie Brothers. That was so dramatic. Lol
@@ashley.taylor174 Awesome episode. Rerun sure learned a lesson about bootleg live albums.😃
So 46 years later I'm listening to this masterpiece (and MM is still with us)…Who's arguing with what?! 😍
Check out his interview on Rick Beatos UA-cam channel. Great stories and his voice is still phenomenal!!
The most soulful white dude ever! Mike McDonald!~
You better say it
Saint Louis Missouri
Nope. Mose Allison holds that title.
@@fosbury68 That is a Valid OPINION!
@@fosbury68 LOL!Ok I at least give you a tie not the title.
Only band I can think of where the live performances were always better than the studio. Michael killed this. Damn he was a genius. Soul, harmony, timing, voice... He had everything
He still is!
Still does
He still is a genius
He ain't dead yet!
he still is !!!!
I was 2 years old when this was recorded, I've always thought that this era of music is one of the best.
I'm in my 60's, and Doobie Brothers music always puts a smile on my face. Takes me back to my teens, listening to WLS at our local swimming pool. GODS, I miss the music of those days!!!
Music by great musicians
The Doobie Brothers will be recording a new studio album, with both Tom Johnston and Michael McDonald.
OK. So we know he can write. He can sing. He can play piano. And I am compelled to say, FINE. AS. HELL.
Gina like
And the older he gets, the fiiiinnner he gets!! Lawd that Silver Fox lookinnnn gooooooodd 😊❤
@@nicholegreen8350but needs the beard back!,
I thought Pat was going to start shouting and dancing with his tambourine. They were taking it to the streets and to Church at the same time.
Jeff Baxter is a guitar genius and this is a rare look at his improvisational skill, just an incredible solo!
He was a pro all the way baby!!
This what caused his hostility with McDonald though.
@@119Agent Never knew of hostility between those two.
@@oranjuly it was the reason he quit the Doobie Brothers.
Ive heard that's not the case any longer...they're good
His GOSPEL chords are slaying me.
AMEN to THAT 😇🙏🏾🙏🏾
He had to go to a black church. There’s no way to imitate that
@@Sparky19124 he grew up in St. Louis. That may have something to do with it too. # I love Michael McDonald.
Bruh, he had those white people bout to stand up singin Amen and Hallelujah at the end LOL... THAT'S SOUL.
they really are!!
This is the hands down the best live version of the song. Skunk nailing the solo at 2:07 + McDonald's gospel outro deem this performance unrivaled.
yes
@@DonDixit Skunk is an absolute BEAST.. One of a kind. Same with Michael.
@ 2:33 when he comes off the solo and plays that transition into the chorus..... Goosebumps, man!
agree 100%!
@@OsageRevival .... exactly! freaking melodic & skillful
Tiran Porter; one of the most underrated bass players you'll. This song is a lesson in groove.
Yep!!!
Absolutely!!!
The Doobie Brothers we’re supposed to be bigger than the Beetles in my opinion. Michael has such a golden voice.
In my book.
This tune is as relevant in 2022 as it was when it was released. Michael McDonald one of the greatest voices and piano players I have ever heard.
And 2023
Supremely talented dude, but you need to hear more piano players. Start with Dr. John, then check out Leon Russell and then Ahmad Jamal.
@@orenico96 I have seen Dr. John at minimum 6 times and have a picture of him hanging in my music room which he signed for me. Leon Russell one of the all time greats and Ahmad Jamal a very nice player but in my opinion if you want to talk jazz piano players -- go to cats like Horace Silver, Red Garland, Elmo Hope, Wynton Kelly (there are others), and then the masters Thelonious Monk, Duke Ellington and Sun Ra.
@@JazzMessenger1218 I get it. I just thought it was funny to mention the talented Michael McDonald as one of the "greatest" pianists:) Pop singers-yeah! And I love his piano playing too, but the comment went a little far. It's all good!👍🏼
and is it not sad that when we do it It does not get any play....so called categories and shyt like that there.... PRINCE IS THE GOAT
One of the few groups that sound in concert almost exactly as they do on the album.
Way better live. And that's incredible
And Steely Dan w Mr. McDonald... How ironic...
In the 70s that was not unusual. One of my litmus tests for a true artist is whether the music sounds as good or better live. I believe recordings cannot capture the quality of great artists. The good ones prove that when they step on stage.
Better live. Way better live. You can't say that about too many bands, and you can say it about none of the overproduced garbage that passes for popular music these days.
thanks to Ted Templeman's genius
The entire country needs to be Taking It To the Streets! Rock On!
They Did...they took it to the streets in May & June 2020
You can’t beat those vocals! The fact that he’s that good on the keys and in rhythm live is absolutely insane.
Michael McDonald....pure soul and eye candy!
Hi ,how are you doing today?
That closing piano bit is amazing
I play the piano, and I can attest to how difficult stuff like that is (I can't do it).
The chord changes smh... I’ll cry tears over this white man when he dies
Michael McDonald’s voice is incredible there’s no one that can top him
This is some of the most uplifting music that you'll ever hear. A remarkable album as well.
Pure Magic and that was the Band the Doobie Brothers.From 1973-79 they were right up there with the best of the best 🇺🇸
My favorite of their songs....what a voice, what a group....takes me back...thanks!!❤
This is when talent was required to make it big 👍
EACH one amazing artists!
Love these guys 🙋🏻♀️💥👌 🎶
Hi ,how are you doing today?
an absolute genius on the piano. WOW!
Ahh, when kids had good music to listen to. Those were the days.
Who remembers Rerun hiding the tape recorder in his coat? 😂😂
i do! i was born in '76, but the a local station would play reruns of What's Happening. i always remembered the name Doobie Brothers, but i didn't know who they were until I got into Michael McDonald when i was in middle school.
I heard about them through What's Happening but it was years before I realized that Michael McDonald was in the Doobie Brothers. Love them!!
Lol! I do
i am 77 and still remenber it
Right! 😂😂
Michael blowing my mind on the piano, especially that spectacular finish.
"I ain't blind and I don't like what I think I see", good words.
My God, the first 18 seconds of this is enough to put me away. Talent, power and beauty beyond the scope of the concept!
God gave McDonald many gifts that made room for him.
Who is still listening to Michael 💞💋 in 2021
How about 2024 ?
Me
Listened to Captain and Me in '73, still loving Doobies.
Michael was 25 years old! Amazing.
Phenomenal...this man has a unmistakable voice just amazing and no auto tune here folks...this band in a whole fabulous...🔥🔥🔥
As I listen to this masterpiece I still get goosebumps running up arms hearing this classic. Doobies at their best.
You don’t know me but I’m your brother...... powerful lyrics, still relevant and kick ass music 40 plus years later rightttttt
THAT VOICE. Omggggg. Even better than the record.
the depth of emotion in their music touches your heart
And this is the problem with today... No soul or feel...
Hands down the best live version
When music was real. Michael McDonald is at his best with his amazing piano playing. I could kiss his hands for the music that they create.
Taking it to the streets? More like taking it to church!!! Michael and his soulful voice woosah!!!
This is my favorite version of Takin It to The Streets because of solo improvisation from McDonald's talent.
Man THIS band was way ahead of their time 💯🔥🔥🔥
Why does Pat Simmons always look so ridiculously happy? I bet his permanent smile in the studio/on stage is why their music is so lively.
If Michael invited you to Jam sessions; you would SAY YES in a heartbeat.
Still in love with you, Michael! ❤
Skunk kills it. Great song. Great vocal. Great band.
Michael McDonald went to the high school where I taught. I was teaching after he had left, but he was a big name and huge talent that the school still refuses to honor. I think that God gave him and the Doobie Brothers the talent and drive and gift that has touched millions. He has done far more than that school ever expected. Shame on them for not recognizing his gift! But God does reward! Thank you Michael and the Doobie Brothers!!! God sees you.
Whatever happened to long-haired, blue eyed rock-n-soul music? Man, I miss this.
Thats deep. I feel you
They took it to the streets and then took it to church with this performance.
Those rich vocals, filled with tons of soul. Michael McDonald....mmmm
Yes, when I first heard him I thought that he was a coloured artist!
misslantana52 Yes indeed!!!
You have great taste in music.😙
This is just so so good. God... Amazing performance. Mike and Skunk in PEAK form.
The Bomb....first year of college..me and all my friends..def' on the Doobie Brothers..even my boyfriend at the time. Mr. McDonald could do no wrong! One of the best voices of all time!
Great performance. Doobie Brothers rule.
Mondern day song for any time or age. Especially NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Enjoying this in 2022...I love their energy together!
He was 25 in this video, what a talent!
SAAAANG IT MIKE! SOULFUL voice!
Michael is a higher being; God was putting a few musical Healers here, to teach us about love, before it was too late. Notice most of them were born soon after Hiroshima.
"Take this message to my Brother
You will find him everywhere..."💕
My favorite Doobie Brothers song. ❤
His voice is so powerful!
Love his voice just takes you away sometimes!
“I ain’t blind and I don’t like what I think I see. “ 2020 anthem. 🇺🇸
Tyranny and Authoritarianism is on its way... We will be the next China soon..
Love this era!!!! Real Respectful Music🎶🎶🎶🎶🎤🎤🎤❤ real musicians too!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿👊🏽
I wish we had our Rock Bands back. Nothing can compare and i was so fortunate to have all of this music in my home. My older brothers and sisters played and danced around to this music on our stereo. My mom and dad loved music.. We never missed Casey Casam's countdown on Saturday radio, American Bandstand, and Soul Train.. I started high school in 1976 and it was lost in the disco period and Urban Cowboy but I listened to all of it from Boston. The Doobie Brothers. The Eagles .Fleetwood Mac. Charlie Daniels. AC/DC. Aerosmith. 38 Special. Pat Benatar. Supertramp. Night Rangers. The greatest music
Used to hear this with my father every single day he picked me up from school. Good old days!
Is this band in the Hall of Fame?...if not they should be 🙌✊✊✊✊✊
Yes, they were inducted into the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame during the pandemic. The Doobie Brothers are currently touring....yes, with Michael McDonald....and they're recording a new studio album....yes, with Michael McDonald.
@@dannytse8767 thank you
So many HOF talents in the Doobies - Johnston, Simmons, McDonald, McFee, Baxter, Porter, LaKind, Knudsen, Hartmann, Bumpus....insane!
Shit this is making my bad day go good again.
THE POWER OF MUSIC.
The outro underlines just how great a piano player Michael is.
Skunk on guitar!!!
Who knew 40 years later we'd need these lyrics even more.....who knew?
Our worst fears; cleave unto the music; it will sustain us.
Demetrius LaShawn you got hate in your soul feel sorry for you!
You're a genius.
Some real geniuses on here.
So True!
Love the energy Jeff “ Skunk” Baxter has. And he puts a great solo into the song!
One of my best Bands Ever! their songs pull the soul out of me at any occasion! Thank you Michael McDonald!
One realizes the luck of having experienced late 20th century music while it was happening and happening it was.
Velvety smooth voice. So incredible.
The real beauty of this song to me is Unity. Let's Unify!!!!
Its the Soul...
Este grupo es de lo MEJOR del rock de tods la historia.Seguro que están entre los 10 mejores
Wish I cld go back 2 70/80/90...but..now -23. More 2 c!?/hear!? No-NIKE IT /YOURSELF. Sme WISDOM hidden, hugs,Karita.
@ 3:16 Patrick puts down guitar and picks up tambourine, watch his feet go. So fun and LOVING spreading music . Love all Doobie Brothers. So glad they were a part of our lives. Thanks Doobies. Saw them at Red Rocks , COLORADO in the 80's. Hopefully will get to see them at Mohegan Sun in August. Pray that COVID doesn't cancel this tour, pray we calm or conquer this virus.
Absolutely fantastic....
GET THEM IN THE HALL OF FAME.
Update: Omg, they were finally inducted in Nov 2020! I was a year and some months behind the times 😅
Yes sir.....he took us to church on that piano!!!!!
Michael with all-dark hair...wow.
I'm so excited to finally see Michael McDonald this weekend in Salt Lake City. I saw the Doobie Brothers with Santana in 2019. They were amazing, but I've always wanted to see Michael live.
The Doobie Brothers are currently on tour with Michael McDonald.
Skunk Baxter - nailed that rif
He went out of theme on the second half of his solo. Turned pretty A tonal. Oh well, a little showing off to the untrained ear never hurts. lol
he rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hell yea
Good enough to make Eddie Van Halen sulk with jealousy
Just read drummer John Hartman passed away...RIP Little John 🙏
I'm not much for live versions. But Skunk sells this one. That solo gave me chills.
Skunk wearing headphone, rocking back and forth in a chair, playin’ his ASS off!!! So ultra cool.
I thought he was Dr. Johnny Fever when I was a kid 😂!
There's a really special part in this video that happens at 2:41 where Skunk plays on guitar what Michael is singing on vocals. It's beautiful. I wish Skunk would have still been in the band, they made an excellent team.
I thought I was the only one that caught that amazing sync... Skunk really is a genius man
Homie has got some serious soul
Real music played by real musicians with a solid message!
Saw them in concert in 1977, great band.
Still makes me think of Rerun and that tape recorder. LOL
Unmistakable sound of a Yamaha CP-80 Electric Grand piano...long before digital pianos came out. Beautiful performance!
Man, he is such a good vocalist. And hot, too!
Everybody's on point love the Doobie Brothers. Love this rock Gospel song. 😎
Nice version and love the passion of these guy's .
Damn I love this song
Skunk rode that fucken guitar best I've ever heard simply put skunk is BAD ASS!
netha soun I swear!! 🙌🏾
Jeff Baxter laying it down. Brillant rendition of this tune. San Jose CA 's best!
Really wish Steely Dan woulda kept Skunk and Denny full time. 2 SUPER rare talents that just fed off each other so well and provided perfect contrasts. But I obviously cant complain about the mountain of legendary Session Musicians the Dan used either 😆
