"You don't know me, but I'm your brother." Every human being on Earth shares a significant portion of DNA. We're all family. A damn shame we don't recognize that fact.
Yes so true. We humans also share a significant part of matching DNA with all organisms on earth [trees rocks and every animal/creature down to the lowly snail]. It's all just perception- we truly are all related. All made up of the same metal minerals and elements, just in slightly different proportions. We share over 50% DNA w plants/trees, 60% w insects, 80% w cows, 90% w house cats, 98% w chimps. And yes I am a science nerd.
Cornelius Bumpus was an insanely good saxophonist. He also toured with Steely Dan for a time in the 2000s. This is live. No second chances. True musicianship at a high level.
I gotta say this is the peak of humanity in terms of playing. So much skill and so much fun. Nobody cared about likes or follows, just can we play and entertain!
Love that Michael McDonald always looked like he was about to do somebody's taxes, then he ALWAYS blew the roof off [even when singing outdoors]. A great example of do not judge the book by its cover. And yeah the first line.... universal love could not be truer.
He’s saying “You, telling me the things you’re going to do for me. I ain’t blind and I don’t like what I think I see.” It’s a protest song. “Taking it to the streets” is what we do when the shit gets real.
This is what we need right now. "You don't know me but I'm your brother." I'm 67. Retired Army medical officer. Born on Martin Luther King's birthday. I have been George Floyd's sister all my life even though I don't know him. For the first time in a long time I feel hope. I won't be separated from my brothers and sisters by race, religion, political party or BULLSHIT!
This band, and so many bands from the 70's were just murderously talented musicians. They had old school work ethic, skill and the freedom to make music they wanted to hear.
The Doobies had two sounds. The early years was more a hippie rock sound with songs like Black Water and the Michael McDonald years where they had a slick jazzy sound. I liked both versions personally.
Jeff Baxter on guitar for Steely Dan and then The Doobies is amazing. People hate on the Michael McDonald years but he helped them produce some amazing music.
Astute observation, lucas! Interesting to track other bands with two, or even three parts'n'sounds to their careers, to wit: Journey, pre- and post-Perry; Fleetwood Mac, before and after Buckingham/Nicks; Genesis, with Gabriel then with Collins, and the Roth/Hagar Van Halen iterations. There have got to be many others, but those come to mind most immediately. Again, good call!
Michael grew up in Ferguson, MO. He played in local bands with friends of mine in the late sixties. Takin' It to the Streets was inspired by an essay his sister Maureen wrote about racial disparities in the metro St. Louis area. This was written back in the early '70s. St. Louis has always been a divided city, more of a Southern city. BTW, Maureen McDonald can be heard doing the backing vocals on I Keep Forgettin' (We're Not in Love Anymore).
I grew up in St Louis, Normandy. From 60s through now. Never knew that about Michael McDonald, saw many concerts in St Louis, unfortunately never the doobies. Good info.
St Louis has always been pretty rowdy since 1900 or so. Redd Foxx has talked about it in many interviews. Bad enough where blacks moved away to Chicago and Detroit for better job opportunities
@@paulstewart6203 Mike's first band was Mike and the Majestics, with friend Steve Scorfina, who was later in REO Speedwagon, Pavlov's Dog, and Gulliver. Mike later sang in R&B/pop bands (AKA horn bands) before moving to LA around 1970. Dropped out of McCluer High.
So... who else had full-on goose bumps when they transitioned from the opening groove into “Taking it to the Streets”?!? Heads to Toe... even my arms!!! That was So awesome!!! Would have loved to have been there! Thank you Jamel... I loved seeing you as excited and jazzed up as I was!!! 💕 Please don’t stop doing what you do!!!!
Wow, this live version is incredible. I have seen them live a few times, but this particular outdoor summer concert when they were in their prime, was fantastic! Great musicianship.
The Doobies, first band I ever saw in concert. 42 years ago, my mom took us kids along, I was only 7 years old. Still remember it and sparked my love of seeing bands live, have seen hundreds since. Thanks Mom, you were awesome! RIP ❤
I love your story! My mother didn’t get me started that early, but starting in my teens I have seen about 200 concerts in my lifetime. I will be 70 in 6 months, but will be seeing the Doobies for the first time in July (in addition to 6 other concerts this year)! Some of the best times of my life!
Tom Lehr I saw a 13 piece band at the "Bitter End" in the Village in New York last year that had five sax's! It was called "Bump City" Probably for Cornelius Bumpus. This particular song is from the 1982 concert in Santa Barbara, Cal. I think I've watched it about 50 times, the opening song and opening medley never fails to lift my spirits and put a smile on my face. Great stuff!
This music did unify us kids back in the day. We were so blessed to be there to experience blacks, whites, browns, yellows all one through love for our fellow man.
This is a masterpiece only in dreams could most bands bring their craft to this level. This performance brings to mind phases like “Once in a lifetime” and “They don’t make music like this anymore” Dedicated and talented very few make the sacrifice to be This great..
Youve just became my fav person in the internet. I seen MM couple years ago and watchin his shoulders move and still sing these songs with soul and conviction this many years later was amazing. He still sounds great too!
Jamal, I love the diversity in your posts. I don't believe in hardcore sticking with it like metal headbangers. We need to here it all. Thanks for doing what you do and keep on going, you energizer bunny you!
Opening line makes SO much sense when you open your damn mind!! Army veteran here; we know this is the truth...now if the rest of America can get on board! Thank you!!! My favorite from them!
Haha! This always reminds me of that “very special episode” of “What’s Happenin’”, when Rerun gets caught at the Doobie Brothers concert with a TAPE RECORDER under his shirt! 😲😲😂😂
"What's Happening", huh?! 😄 Even admitting to knowing that show, let alone watching it, is seriously dating us! But I loved it! And That was a great episode! 😁
Thanks again Jamal for bringing us together with another banger! I love this song, it's a song about unity & need that today more than ever ! So great job once again sir & You're definitely my brother!😀👍🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺
I know this song, but never have heard this particular live version.......incredible, and yeah, the band members names onscreen is a sweet touch......many love, much props
God damn.. just watched this again... take a moment to appreciate that this is a live performance.. no auto tune.. no BS....More talent in any one of these musician's pinky than the collective talent of anything released it the last 20 + years
My 70 Year old mother claims the only time she ever smoked pot was at a Doobie Brother's concert. Lol I am sure she has smoked more than that but every time I hear the Doobie Brothers I think of her saying that and it makes me laugh> And Michael McDonald is so handsome! She always had a crush on him too. Lol Great Music!!
I'm a 66 year old and the Doobie Brothers bring back amazing memories of California in the 70's. Whew! Happy to see younger people getting to know such good music.
Saw him at the Hollywood Bowl last Summer and he still sounds good. His voice has aged and can't quite get where he used to but that's understandable seeing he's been doing it for so long. One of the most unique voices ever. As soon as he opens his mouth you know exactly who it is. So amazing.
CRAZY this was from their 1982 farewell tour and like 40 years later the band is still on the road and still has tour dates.....the band is like nah man we too good to shut this down.
Sooo true! Saw the Doobies (w/o MM) at a local venue just a few years back. Was on the edge of my seat or up gettin’ it the ENTIRE show! Saw MM live with Steely Dan in Charlotte. The segway into this song was apparent to me and a few others. We were stomping. We were yelling. We were ready!! OMG he was pounding on the keys!! Then he just took us all to church and beyond!
My parents "boogied" to the Doobies from their beginnings in the San Jose area (the Chateau ...), so I grew up with these guys. Their message and joy accompanied my early childhood and still do today. Great band deserving of their airplay to this day.
I've heard singers introduced as "the blackest white man you'll ever hear!" But Big Mike is just ONE of a long line of blue-eyed soul brothas who can BLOW. Bobby Caldwell, Paul Carrack, TOTO's Bobby Kimball, Chris Thomas...there's such a long-ass list!
One of the most talented bands in pop music history! I saw the Doobie Brothers in concert the Summer of 2021 perform "Takin It To The Streets", and these guys (now in their 70s) CRUSHED it! And the message of the song seems even more relevant now than it was in 1975.
Jamal. Here I am back again to see you and listen to "My Doobie Brothers." :-) Two years ago I said you are my brother - yes, I'm so proud to call you my brother. When you stopped the video, at the opening, and said: "Yes, you are my bother," my eyes welled up with tears and I had a large lump in my throat. Thanks "Brother."
Isaac Hayes - “Walk On By” - the long version off the “Hot Buttered Soul” album. You are the perfect reactor for this. I promise. You will not be disappoint.
From a time when mythical beasts roamed the earth, they wrote and recorded great songs, played even better live, all without protools, quantizing, and pitch correct. Real music.
Elle We had the Celebrate Me Home album on 8 track when I was a kid. Mama would play it every night while we made dinner. I’ve loved his music all these years. His son is also an excellent musician, thought not famous.
Take it from someone old enough to be your Mom..."You are like a breath of fresh air" the way you embrace "people" & music. I saw the Doobie Brothers at the Champagne Jam 1978 in Atlanta. Amazing then...& Now!!! Thank you Jamel... You Rock! Keep bringing the reactions. It brightens my day & right now we need Happy & we need Unity~ Thank You!!
Classics all the way. I love that intro 😀👍dam like session musicians and Michael pushes the limits👏👏👏👏👏 another treasured memory. Go jamal your in motion too.
We feel that way about you too Jamel ❤️ Love you brother!! Enjoy watching you so much 💖 You have been reacting to all the music from my teenage years and early 20’s.
Brother Jamel! I love this song. It’s definitely a song of unity and we should be playing it loud and proud. We are all in this together so we should all try to lift each other up. Keep up the great work! Peace!
This was the song to the episode of what’s happening. When re-run had to bootleg the doobie brothers concert. “Whichever doobie, you-be”? Been a fan ever since
I love the fact that your singing with a brush LOL & Michael McDonald's voice is pure class & I always preferred his voice in the group & the live music on stage truly spectacular & you can't beat decent proper music live that's for sure.
Michael McDonald did a lot of background vocals for Toto and he toured with them over the years; I have seen many concerts with Toto and Michael McDonald. Michael McDonald has the record for performing more back-up vocals for so many bands, more than anyone else. He is fabulous still! So are Toto! :-)
what an utterly beautiful thing to see those players-black,white,playing like apostles,Micheal singing like a god. wtf has happened to music today? grateful beyond to have lived with this magical music in my life
Loved the live performance! Jamal, you should give a listen to Michael McDonald and James Ingram singing “Ya Mo B There”. Momma Dawn is not gonna steer you wrong! 👍🏼 P.S. check out the lyrics to the song - so applicable to the times we are living in!
Hadn't listened to this song in years and years. Thank you J, you just helped me rediscover it. And btw, you do a pretty damn good Michael McDonald impression for sure
Michael grew up in the church singing the Gospel and how Christians should be for the human race. Timeless classic 😎 😇 He used his gifts in song and the keys
I am a product of the 60's when you heard many types of music on the radio and were inspired by all .I love how you reacted to the first line of this great song. We are all brothers!! Music is the one thing that brings us all together. Man I would love to party with you. Your channel is the best, keep it up.
i wish we still lived in a time when a bearded grey haired guy in a blazer could be at the top of the charts.
Yep! Michael is BAAAAAD!
True.
Funny but good way to phrase it.
I know that’s right!!!
I love those blazer jackets with the suede peanut shaped patches on the elbows.
"You don't know me, but I'm your brother."
Every human being on Earth shares a significant portion of DNA. We're all family. A damn shame we don't recognize that fact.
Well put Brah✊🏽
Yes so true. We humans also share a significant part of matching DNA with all organisms on earth [trees rocks and every animal/creature down to the lowly snail].

well said my friend
Isn't it? It's horrible
I despise most of my “brothers” then. Lots and lots of assholes in my neighborhood alone, and the world is full of neighborhoods just like it.
"You don't know me, but I'm your brother." Right back at you Jamal!
Cornelius Bumpus was an insanely good saxophonist. He also toured with Steely Dan for a time in the 2000s. This is live. No second chances. True musicianship at a high level.
He was a really good vocalist as well.
I gotta say this is the peak of humanity in terms of playing. So much skill and so much fun. Nobody cared about likes or follows, just can we play and entertain!
We need more sax solos back in rock!
This is our homeboy from St.Louis Missouri he played with some of the best groups In out town. Pure soul
Yes saw him in 1993 in Buffalo with Steely Dan. Too bad we lost him. What a talent.
Love that Michael McDonald always looked like he was about to do somebody's taxes, then he ALWAYS blew the roof off [even when singing outdoors]. A great example of do not judge the book by its cover. And yeah the first line.... universal love could not be truer.
Christy Christina lol!
Dead
What a great description lol
I love this 👍❤
Your Accountant sure look more groovy than mine...for me an accountant look like a skinny, baldy four eyes guy.
Perfect. Exactly. What other 70s rock god wore a freakin sport jacket to all his shows? But he does have rockstar hair...;)
He’s saying “You, telling me the things you’re going to do for me. I ain’t blind and I don’t like what I think I see.” It’s a protest song. “Taking it to the streets” is what we do when the shit gets real.
The lyrics are directly pointed at politicians. Probably the most sociopolitical song the band ever did.
Sadly, a sentiment that will probably always be true.
likeaZ6 I wrote that before the protests, weird isn’t it?
This is what we need right now. "You don't know me but I'm your brother." I'm 67. Retired Army medical officer. Born on Martin Luther King's birthday.

@@majorissuesnow I, too, share Dr. King's birthday. I also share your sentiments. ❤💯🙌
This band, and so many bands from the 70's were just murderously talented musicians. They had old school work ethic, skill and the freedom to make music they wanted to hear.
"murderously talented" is sooooo true! Long before computerized, synth, added-in instruments, auto tune, etc. Just raw talent. Amazing amazing stuff
“I’m blind but I don’t like what I think I see” ,for me one of the most iconic lines in all of rock and roll….😮
You might have to put a copyright on that word murderously talented well put
Right on Jamel, right from the jump, "you don't know me but I'm your brother", no truer words have ever been spoken in human history!!!
And no, Michael McDonald wasn't singing, he was SANGIN.
Callista Graves OMG Yaaasssss🎤🎤😩
LOL, indeed he was my dear,...Godspeed, Peace ✌
Callista Graves 😂
AMEN!
Yes he is! Good laaawd!! :D
The Doobies had two sounds. The early years was more a hippie rock sound with songs like Black Water and the Michael McDonald years where they had a slick jazzy sound. I liked both versions personally.
Jeff Baxter on guitar for Steely Dan and then The Doobies is amazing. People hate on the Michael McDonald years but he helped them produce some amazing music.
The pre-McDonald Doobies also had a large biker following. That went away when the band went more uptown.

Highest-level musicianship .

Youve just became my fav person in the internet. I seen MM couple years ago and watchin his shoulders move and still sing these songs with soul and conviction this many years later was amazing. He still sounds great too!
That's my music! Uniting and positive. We need that today...
Doobie Brothers: "It Keeps You Running"
Jay johnston What a fool believes
That it does !!!!
...one of my fav's
"It Keeps You Running ... Forever a missed ad opportunity for Ex-Lax.

I’ve seen the doobies twice and I can say without a doubt they were two of the best concerts I’ve ever been to
These guys are powerful musicians 👍😎
Haha! This always reminds me of that “very special episode” of “What’s Happenin’”, when Rerun gets caught at the Doobie Brothers concert with a TAPE RECORDER under his shirt! 😲😲😂😂
HAHAHA !!! - I remember that !!! - and the Doobie Brothers say - "Hey man - we thought you dudes were our friends".
"What's Happening", huh?! 😄 Even admitting to knowing that show, let alone watching it, is seriously dating us! But I loved it! And That was a great episode! 😁
Yes!! And was it Dwayne or Right, that asked one of the Doobie bros.. ," Which doobie you be? " 😄🤣😉
Dewayne or Rog (Roger) lol
That entire concert was music at an extremely high level. All those guys, top end dudes. They went so well together
I love that line too! "You don't know me but I'm your brother."
Thanks again Jamal for bringing us together with another banger! I love this song, it's a song about unity & need that today more than ever ! So great job once again sir & You're definitely my brother!😀👍🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺
His voice is amazing. Keep in mind that he is playing the hell out of that keyboard while he is delivering with his voice...
This man reacting has done the public a great service uniting total strangers threw one of the weirdest time of our history as a nation THANK YOU
"Righteous" is all I have to say, my brother. "I ain't blind, but I don't like what I think I see......." is the best line ever...
I saw the Doobies live at the Florida Strawberry Festival. One of the best concerts i've ever been to.
Jealous! 😍
I know this song, but never have heard this particular live version.......incredible, and yeah, the band members names onscreen is a sweet touch......many love, much props
Back in the 60's & 70's we were ALL Brothers & sisters!!

Yes, but he (ReRun) learnt an important lesson...
Great 2 part episode!
I watched it again recently on the Roku channel! It was great to see it again!
"Which Doobie yoube?'

Everyone knows who Jamal is in my house so yeah, you're fam at this point. 🙂
One of the most talented bands in pop music history! I saw the Doobie Brothers in concert the Summer of 2021 perform "Takin It To The Streets", and these guys (now in their 70s) CRUSHED it! And the message of the song seems even more relevant now than it was in 1975.

When you stopped the video, at the opening, and said: "Yes, you are my bother," my eyes welled up with tears and I had a large lump in my throat. Thanks "Brother."

trueeeeeeee DaTTTTTT!!!!!
The track I call "A Black version of HIGH NOON set to music..." YAAASSSSSS.
Chocolate Salty Balls from the South Park gigs...sorry had to...
I think he has sung backgrounds for just about everyone including TOTO.
From a time when mythical beasts roamed the earth, they wrote and recorded great songs, played even better live, all without protools, quantizing, and pitch correct.
Real music.
The Doobie Brothers has a musical evolution over there career.
This version kicks ass...amazing energy.
Right where it ended it went straight into "Jesus is Just Alright"
Damn you're right that sounded like an amazing segway. Now I really want to watch this show in its entirety.
I wish he had played the entire show. That is the best Doobie Brothers performance footage on UA-cam.
Doobie Brothers concerts were amazing, spectacular and KICK ASS!!!🎵🎼🎶💜 Loved them!!! Passionate singers are the best!!!
You talk about how the lyric's opening line unites. Remember this song was out in 1976 and it still applies.
You should try some of Kenny Loggins’ music. He and Michael McDonald did a duet called “This is It”.
Agreed! Kenny Loggins has decades of great music.
Elle We had the Celebrate Me Home album on 8 track when I was a kid. Mama would play it every night while we made dinner. I’ve loved his music all these years. His son is also an excellent musician, thought not famous.
And I KNOW you know a TON of Loggins songs!!! 😉
"Who's Right, Who's Wrong" with Michael Jackson.
Loggins and Messina - "Angry Eyes" live is awesome
He did 'Sweet Freedom' for a movie with Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines.
Running Scared Great song/movie
Crystal and Hines actually sang backup vocals on that cut! Cute video of it out there, if you ignore the buddy-cop movie crapola.
Thank you Big Jay- pulling that one up next!
Still got the 12" single of that from back in the day!
GREAT song!!!! Good movie, as well! Thank you for the reminder. :-D
“I ain’t blind, but I don’t like what I think I see”. 🙏🙏🏽🙏🏿
The Doobie Brothers are a group I've always regretted not seeing Live in concert.
Loving your reactions as always. Music is what unifies us..keep bringing it, Jamal!
When I was a bit younger, The Doobie Brothers were one of my favorite bands. Enjoy! BTW, I always thought this song was about revolution.
Take it from someone old enough to be your Mom..."You are like a breath of fresh air" the way you embrace "people" & music. I saw the Doobie Brothers at the Champagne Jam 1978 in Atlanta.

OMG i didn't know i needed this in my life until now
We feel that way about you too Jamel ❤️ Love you brother!! Enjoy watching you so much 💖 You have been reacting to all the music from my teenage years and early 20’s.
I saw the Doobie Brothers live in 1981 - it was one of the best concerts I ever saw - this is my fave Doobie Brother song. Thanks.
Brother Jamel! I love this song. It’s definitely a song of unity and we should be playing it loud and proud. We are all in this together so we should all try to lift each other up. Keep up the great work! Peace!
This whole concert is AMAZING and the KB and sax, that dude is the shit RIP man...
By far my favorite Doobie Brothers song!! Does not get better hearing and watching them live! The energy is incredible!
This was the song to the episode of what’s happening. When re-run had to bootleg the doobie brothers concert. “Whichever doobie, you-be”? Been a fan ever since
Have seen them 4 times in concert, ya just can't even beat 'em with a stick. Love these guys. Thanks buddy.
You have said it before, “music unites us”.
The Doobie Brothers ALWAYS bring it full force. I saw them in August with Santana and man, still rocking and bringing people to their feet, dancing!
This song is so relevant now, never more so than now. Peace.
I love the fact that your singing with a brush LOL & Michael McDonald's voice is pure class & I always preferred his voice in the group & the live music on stage truly spectacular & you can't beat decent proper music live that's for sure.
This Doobie streak is awesome. This music is so influential.
You know what? I was right there in your pocket with you when you were recording this. This is musical perfection! I was crying!
We need more Jamals on this world, love this guy
Thanks so much for this reaction.
Toto “I’ll Be Over You”. Michael McDonald sings background vocals.
Plus "Africa"
Michael McDonald did a lot of background vocals for Toto and he toured with them over the years; I have seen many concerts with Toto and Michael McDonald. Michael McDonald has the record for performing more back-up vocals for so many bands, more than anyone else. He is fabulous still! So are Toto! :-)
Great song
Plus "Peg" by Steely Dan
Awesome song!
You made me smile watching your reaction and hearing what you had to say about this amazing band.
what an utterly beautiful thing to see those players-black,white,playing like apostles,Micheal singing like a god. wtf has happened to music today? grateful beyond to have lived with this magical music in my life
Big J- next up- “ Ya Mo Be There” - Michael and James Ingram. Theres a great vid of them singing it live, too. Two great voices.
Back in the days when even the rock bands had soul!
Everyone needs to hear this song today. It has been my strong belief for most of my life.
Did anyone know two months ago that this would be the song we needed for June 2020?
Loved the live performance! Jamal, you should give a listen to Michael McDonald and James Ingram singing “Ya Mo B There”. Momma Dawn is not gonna steer you wrong! 👍🏼 P.S. check out the lyrics to the song - so applicable to the times we are living in!
Hadn't listened to this song in years and years. Thank you J, you just helped me rediscover it. And btw, you do a pretty damn good Michael McDonald impression for sure
Michael grew up in the church singing the Gospel and how Christians should be for the human race. Timeless classic 😎 😇 He used his gifts in song and the keys
I am a product of the 60's when you heard many types of music on the radio and were inspired by all .I love how you reacted to the first line of this great song. We are all brothers!! Music is the one thing that brings us all together. Man I would love to party with you. Your channel is the best, keep it up.
