Yeah, being a bass player from that era, he not only has excellent chops, he's got a great sound as well. Sounds like it could be an old Acoustic 361, which was and still is, a lot of bass players choice, especially for live performances.
These guys are great! They rank up at the top in rock not like these fake no talent geeks of today. Where's rock n roll bands today! I only like a couple of bands today.
I hope " The Doobie Brothers" live as long as I do on this planet because I couldn't imagine being on this planet without the Doobie Brothers being around. Such a happy song.
@@johantrenier1685 I'm with everybody !! Simply put, A Great Rock and Roll band !! Fantastic concert/concerts. They have it all. Vocals, rhythm guitar, tasty lead guitar licks, percussion, powerful bass lines, everything!! Was my 2nd concert I ever attended back in (I think) '82. They raised that bar pretty damn high for future shows and few came close. No pyrotechnics, fancy light shows,..... THEY DIDN'T NEED IT ! When you can write music and play like that, that's a wrap baby ! Here's to the Doobies !! PEACE from Philadelphia
I'm an old schooler from way back and the Doobies have been a part of my play list the entire time. I can take a dose of Listen To The Music, or The Doctor, or China Grove, just to name a few and turn a bad day into a better one with these guys feel good style of music.
The documentary on this band is really fantastic just like the ones on Kansas and the eagles who also started in the 70s now it's time for Kansas to also get inducted into the hof
So right! I remember when I was a kid my dad played that album so much, I think my mom was ready to scream, lol. It's a wonder he didn't wear the needle down to a nub.
I've been a fan of the Doobie Brothers since I was a child. Then I worked in the record industry in Argentina for 21 years (EMI, PolyGram/UMG), but I've never found a way to let you know that the chorus of this masterpiece was plagiarised in 1992 by a local band called "Los Guarros" in a song called "Vamos A La Ruta" (Let's Go To The Highway), and became their biggest hit to date. Here´s the link to that song: https: // ua-cam.com/video/wI7FEOZnb90/v-deo.htmlsi=Ykt0KN7beE6xV6qN . I hope this information is useful and you can recoup the money they owe you.
I was a bit annoyed that the video showed most of the musicians, but neglected the bass player. (full disclosure: younger daughter plays electric bass, so I notice bass lines)
this song got me a night in jail back when it was a hit on AM RADIO IN MY CUDA 340 doing 98 in a 50 mph causway in nahant mass next morning went with a crew to cleanup the beach then went home to bed ya looking back at it iwas a stupid kid that survived it and live to tell the tail ya it was worth it love that song china grove too
❤hand me a Doobie Bros 😂pull over...
Highway Patrol got his eyes on me! Know what he's thinkin...and it ain't good!
If u can see them Live, GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
seen the Doobie's 5 times in the 70's noth'n like em'
What bands sound this good LIVE? Very few...
This is one of the Doobie's best songs of all times.
I agree totally
I got a speeding ticket whenever this damn song was playing while I was driving. I loved it. Only on the four lanes , though. Safety first
Yes driving down the road for relieve!!!
In the mid-70s they used to call me and my brother David The Doobie Brothers cuz we always had the best smoke
This, and China Grove - they know how to end a song. But the pleasure is in getting to the end.
people move your self its the Doobie Brothers, Man what a band.............................
Fantastic band.
Still listening to this music in 2020!!!!!!
2022 and beyond!! Timeless, really...
This band here would have had Justin Bieber run off the stage peeing his pants. This real talent. Not today's talentless musicians.
Right on.
Over 30 yrs I sang ROLLIN' down the highway...
Still listening in 2021.
First saw them in 1974, NC.
They just keep getting better ❤
Listen to that bass... the lines are just rockin!!
Yeah, that Bass guitar line in this song is killer, bet it's a bitch to play too!
Skylark rules!
Tiran is genius.
Yeah, being a bass player from that era, he not only has excellent chops, he's got a great sound as well. Sounds like it could be an old Acoustic 361, which was and still is, a lot of bass players choice, especially for live performances.
Kick ass bass lines Skylark awesome
Saw him live in Phoenix just pumpin them strangs. Killed it
Tom still has it
Peter McCarthy ,19 local hero loves the warm weather, when it gets cold, I go to a warmer climate
These guys are great! They rank up at the top in rock not like these fake no talent geeks of today. Where's rock n roll bands today! I only like a couple of bands today.
great memories of high school! can listen to them all day and night
Janelle Lizotte DITTO! The Doobies’ music brings back the best memories EVAH! 😆
Class of 1976, whats yours? Doobies still rock.
Tommy Johnston is phenomenal, absolutely legendary band, very proud fan since 1970
Still cookin 50 years later,check out that harmony
The Doobies are one of those rare rock bands who sound better live than in the studio. It was always all about the live shows with those guys.
Agreed. The only other band that I immediately think of is better live than studio is Dire Straits
Eagles and Doobies are the best at replicating their studio sound.
@@dylancrichton2227 Agreed, but Glenn Frey era Eagles. Ever since Glenn died the Eagles have been miming. It still sounds good but it’s not live
Great to see Tom back and in sync - he’s integral
Definately good cruising tune.
Killing it
4th row center at civic arts plaza 4-8-2018 Still absolutely amazing.
I forget the section but 1976 Atlanta, super concert.
Outstanding!!!!!
I hope " The Doobie Brothers" live as long as I do on this planet because I couldn't imagine being on this planet without the Doobie Brothers being around. Such a happy song.
amen
You`re right about that Mark Carrillo. I`ll 2nd the motion to that Amen.
I agree! 100% !!
Hope you are still here...2021...agreed. 🙂

Here's to the Doobies !!
PEACE from Philadelphia
Are the doobie brothers in the rock n roll hall of fame? They absolutely should be !!!
Cool!
Great
Nice to hear and fun times,
riden down the road with my foot on the floor!!!! Hell yeah!!
One of the best live bands you'll ever see. Ageless wonders.
Rocking down the highway
if your pulse don't go up, then you missed it
Yes!!!!
The Bass And Rhythm guitars really Keep this moving!
Listen to the bass line.
Yeah, he's cookin'.
Wow. You are so right Lauren.
Still listening to this music in 2023!
The real Doobie Bros without whiner non rock Michael McDonald.
Absolutely agree
Tom is one of the greatest musicians of the world. He's an incredible genius.
Kick azzzz!
Who’s listening in 2019
ME

Ukiah is awesome too.the Harmony is fabulous 👍👏👏👏👏
I personally think “Long Train Running” is the bomb!
Outstanding!
I love the groove they lay down.
They are great 👍
The Doobies put on THE BEST live show of any band EVER !! BAR NONE!
They did in the 70s in Atlanta still best concert EVER.
Lisa I think you're right 😃
Tom Johnston's a straight up bad ass!
Johnny gonna play! 🥰
Tom Johnston is an underappreciated talent. What a great performance this is of a song heard not often enough.
Real talent
Right x7jf, Tom Johnson is defitnitley an underappreciated talent. This is the kind of music that makes one want to conquer life.
He also looks like someone you want to have your back if you get in a bar fight...looks tough as nails!
lots of people appreciate
Where was this recorded?
quite the show! GREAT music!
Those were the good times for each, to be happy, to enjoy in music, love, friendships every day anywhere wherever we are
The documentary on this band is really fantastic just like the ones on Kansas and the eagles who also started in the 70s now it's time for Kansas to also get inducted into the hof
Fire up the old muscle car
Lil bro's orange 69 Camaro qualify? $70k is a lot but its def muscular.
"Driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cake hole."
John Mcfee later on formed Southern Pacific.
Rock on brothers love it
great song. one of my favorites.
Great song and presentation.
Rocks harder than the studio version. This is what is meant by good time rock n roll.
The Captain and Me album has a lot of Good Songs.
So right! I remember when I was a kid my dad played that album so much, I think my mom was ready to scream, lol. It's a wonder he didn't wear the needle down to a nub.
Pop probably wore out the vinyl grooves, @googleuser4443.
Love this song!!
Me too
Bad a*"!! Sounds amazing live!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Awesome guys. I'm 53 always loved your music. My 14 year old daughter plays bass guitar and loves your music to. Thanks from both of us. Keep rockin.
The Bassplayer rocks....
Tom Johnston gets folks dancing !!!!

Can't do the math... so just listen to the music
at 68 try to drive slow when this comes on the radio
Simply awesome 🤩👍 👍👍 👍👏👏 👏
John McFee looks like he recently had a breakup so he cut his bangs. 😅
Doesn't matter what emotion I am feeling. Just find this song on the internet and get lost in this great song.
My girlfriend said I sing it in my sleep sometimes
😎
I get in my Dodge Challenger and ride to this. 😎
Keith Knudsen, great drumer and singer.
so much love for your music... thank you 1 million times... Dan sarasota fl.
Man, they really poured it into this one!
where is the other bass player? missing his energy----like seeing him out front with everyone else
tyron quit the band. Skylark ( I heard) got sick and had to quit. They have another guy. I don't remember his name.
Current bass player's name is John Cowan
I was a bit annoyed that the video showed most of the musicians, but neglected the bass player. (full disclosure: younger daughter plays electric bass, so I notice bass lines)
Love this one!
Tommy..got..the..key.......
Twist one up and rock down that highway!!

Great video .Bravo.
🥰 John McFee😍🎸
