I was 18 when i installed an 8 track player in the glove box of my first car, a '68 Chevy Malibu. I purchased the Doobies' Toulouse Street tape. Sweet memories of rockin' down the hiway all over California in my college years.
Saw them live in '78. Yeah, I'm that old. My favorite band. My girlfriend got us tickets. Yeah, I married that girl. Oh, Lord, it's been a ride. Cheers
'74 in Miami while on leave before PCS'ing to S. Korea. Then again 50 years later at the Ameris Amphitheater near Atlanta July 13th, 2024. They never got old. Got better. Doobie Brothers 💯
I lived in Chine Grove in the 70's, as a teenager I heard this song on the radio and I couldnt believe there was a song about my little town,have been a fan ever since then.
It was the summer of 1971. We were dirt poor , hard headed , loud mouthed teenagers with a spirit of adventure. Terry Thompson, Juan (Poncho Grande) Fuentes, Jacky Ray Thompson, Dennis (the yellow duck) Dibble, Sandra Lou Bemis and myself,drove to Joplin Mo. to see our very first Live Concert! This song was one of there first hits and we all left feeling a little"funny" after the smoke filled experience....It was a bond that has lasted 50 years.
I'm 70 now and I was feeling a bit low, and then there is China Grove... Now I'm in a world of happiness and ready to deal with this new crazy world.😈👿
Oh wow the Doobie bros china grove, what a timeless hit. Takes me back to my childhood, camping on the coast in California just blaring all these timeless hits. Everybody gathering in the pavilion just dancing having a good time. They don't make music like this anymore, it does my heart good to see my nieces and nephews loving these timeless hits and keeping the music of the 50s, 60s, and 70s alive❤️❤️🌹
Thank God they have been elected to the R&R HOF. This was too long coming. The Doobie, CCR and Grand Funk Railroad were the American bands of the late 60s and early 70s. Thanks for the memories Doobies.
Visited R&R HOF years ago. Not sure exactly who does the voting or the crieteria involved but to have Madonna, Blondie, The Pretenders inducted years ago...... I guess its B.S..... I wonder if it as important for the bands to be enshrined as appose to the fans wanting their favorites inducted. Me thinks it's more for the fans.
Unfortunately Grandfunk is not the real band anymore Mark Farner was VOTED OUT by the other 2but on the good side Mark Farner don’t need them anyways he is GrandFunk Railroad they are only drum and bass he wrote all the hits and his voice and guitar playing make him the one drummers come and go and bass players too
Big thanks to the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame for inducting the Doobie Brothers in 2020. What a wonderful way to celebrate their 50th anniversary together as a band! I fan voted every single day and am so happy for the Doobies, Keep on rockin'!
@@BigPapiSmack His influence has waned. When the fans were included in the process, that's how Rush finally got in. But fan influence has let BonJovi, Journey and Def Leppard get in. Really, Def Leppard in but Judas Priest isn't? I'm not a huge Priest fan, but I understand their place in rock history and they deserve the Hall.
Who gives a FU@K about the R&R HOF? It's a sham like all HOF's. No artisit needs the HOF to validate how great they are. Why do you people care so much about any band being inducted into a sham HOF? It means nothing.
Back when bands actually played live and showed their musicianship...hard to believe they have been this good since the seventies and are still rockin'. Saw them live with two drummers and they were awesome!!!
alan5047 I saw them in the early 80s in spfld il and was amazed that two drummers could play in sync also I watched two cop point at us as we took a toke and passed it on and they never moved it was a very good time
So many great memories. We drove from LA to San Diego to Balboa Stadium and saw the Doobie Brothers. This was one of their first big concerts starting out. The Doobie Bros opened followed by Santana then Chicago. Best concert ever! By far the Doobie Brothers were the best. It wasn’t even close.
I saw them Live in the early '70s in Sydney Australia! They are as good a live band as has ever walked the earth. Tom Johnston created the true sound of the Doobie Brothers( His Voice)and his bandmates did him proud the way they play their instruments. The epitome of a true, great Rockin Roll Band forever!
I agree!! I saw them in ‘72 in Galveston, Texas. Sad that Tom Johnston had to leave. They weren’t the same when Michael McDonald replaced him. They were never the same.
Bad ass as it ever gets, or ever had been. A song about a make believe place and by the time it ends you believe that place exists. Now that's rock and roll.
I started out in bands back in the 60's when all of us played together and could do it live. I must admit, now that we all have the technology in our own personal computers to sound a bit band like on our own if we can play a few instruments I do it like that now. But it's nothing like having 4 or 5 comrades that can play up there doin' it together. This is from those magic days when groups created great music together, each giving it their best. Today's music will never compete with that. I count my blessings that my younger days were from that time. Sadly, we can never go back. These guys just rock like it's supposed to be. There are probably those that would disagree, but you just had to be there to know what I'm talkin' about. Fortunately there are a few groups left from that time that still carry on the tradition, but for how much longer can they do it? We are all getting on up in age. These guys are just amazing for how long they have lasted.
I remember the first time I heard this song, weekly top 40 on the way home from Grandma’s house. My older sisters were in to teeny bopper music that I didn’t pay much attention to, but when I heard China Grove, I became a music fan. Those crunchy opening chords are still exciting to me all these years later.
On a trip to Texas today I passed though China Grove - can’t say I saw anything crazy but it seem like more of a crossroads now. Maybe it was a bigger place in the 70’s - still it was neat to be in China Grove and turn on this tune
I saw them in the late 70's. Years later, I was stationed in San Antonio and was driving on the highway and saw the sign China Grove city limits. You know what song I had to hear when I got home.
I've been familiar with the sound of this song for decades now; but I didn't know its name until now. What brought me here was a clip from this song at the end of the latest Doobie Brothers concert ad.
I remember skiing at Sunshine Village, near Banff, in the early seventies, in the spring, in cut-offs, in the sunshine, with Doobie Brothers songs playing in my head. Wonderful. Spring in Alberta is glorious.
1976.. Oakland coliseum.. Gary Wright, the Doobie Brothers and Fleetwood Mac... Met a girl who I was in love with, Kathy Roh from the East Bay but we hadn't spent much time together. She was gorgeous and I couldn't believe she was into me. We had only dated once but it was quite the date. I got nervous and blew it. She had to think I didn't like her but that was FAR from the case. I just didn't know how to act. Anyway, great, great show. Never forget it on many levels.
The great Michael Hassock on drums. Rest in Peace my friend. A good old North Jersey guy. Last time I saw him was backstage at the Wellmont Theatre. You could not meet a nicer bunch of guys. No big ego trip. Down to earth.
They were my first concert ever in about 1976 at age 14. When the drummer had lightning bolts coming off his sticks, I was forever changed in to a concert junkie. Thank you Doobies!
I had the incredible experience to see the Doobie Brothers and Santana together August 2019, my two all time most favorite bands, brought back many memories!
Killer solos starting at 3:05 - absolutely nails it. He has that guitar screaming and the crowd is going apeshit - rock and roll lightning strikes at that moment.
Had the privilege to see and listen to them at Blossom in Cleveland July 12th 2022 and they were awesome. They have not missed a beat and reflected back to the 80's and was just like yesterday. Loved every moment of it. Thank you to all in the band including Michael McDonald who had seemed not to age, thanks be to God. Many blessings to you all for adding just alittle bit of joy to all of us. Peace be with you.
Saw them in the 80s with some Highschool buddies in Ottawa during the Michael McDonald days - No Disrespect - He was amazing - unique- But wish I saw this concert - All the classics with the original heroes - Listened to China Grove and Black Water constantly.
There's not enough room on this page to talk about how great this performance is. Your drums are miced so perfectly, the kick is a low thud impact, and the snare has a pop that cuts right through. It's also great that the live adrenalin rush didn't make them speed up. This is the same tempo as it was originally intended to be played.
Genuine intensity you can still see in the Doobie Brothers live. What a treat to watch and listen to such talented musicians. Throw in double drummers that are just incredible.
mid- 70s, 4 or 5 rows back from center stage at Appalachian State- their harmonies were amazing and just rocked the house- one of the best concerts I've ever been a part of
I loved hearing this kind of music on the radio as my mom and step Dad went joy riding in the back of her PT cruser in the back seat of her car. Along with beer cans in the backseat also.
i saw the doobies ...september....1974...in chicago...with the fog was commin in on the whole stage...just look at the vices album...on the inside cover...that was the BEST DOOBIE BROTHERS CONCERT...THAT THERE EVER WAS...EVER COULD HAVE BEEN

Saw them
At St Bonaventure I’m 1978
Saw them in concert, don't remember the year. But they were awesome
Dude, you're on a magic carpet ride that I hope never ends for you. Doobie's are the greatest jam band of all time, and that includes the Dead.

Another One of my ALL-time favorite Songs 🎵 & Groups 🎉🎉
It was the summer of 1971. We were dirt poor , hard headed , loud mouthed teenagers with a spirit of adventure.

I mean, to all the old people listening to this music... You were right! This Rocks!!!
Where are we going to be when these talented musicians are no longer with us? 😢
I'm 70 now and I was feeling a bit low, and then there is China Grove...
Now I'm in a world of happiness and ready to deal with this new crazy world.😈👿
OMG, know where you are coming from!
I'm 66, the Doobies were one of the first bands I ever got into.👍🏻😁❤️
I Hear You. I'm turning 69 next month.
72 here... I was in a deep blue funk, until I listened to this awesome jam!! 👍
Ditto.
My Fav ❤

The only band that I’ve ever seen that I can say, with confidence, sounds better live than in studio ❤
I'd second that....!!!!
Tesla
Well, and Skynrd from the 70s...but hell yeah love em both - and China Grove is really awesome live.
U2, Eagles, Springsteen
Yes, you're absolutely correct. Saw them a year ago at Bethelwood. They sounded great !
Now we are rockin! I was 16 in 1970. Today at 66, 50 years later, I still rock to this great tune!
Long live the Doobies!
My grandkids look at me at 64 rocking to these songs and think I’m the coolest ever!! 🤣🤣🤣
@@debrataylor1813, keep it up Debra. Well done.
This was played live at our high school dances, and we all hit the floor! Class of 77 is still rocking to the Doobies!
I'm 74 & STILL love to turn the Doobies on high & let them sing. :-)
@@debrataylor1813 Keep on rockin' ;-))
Still playing this one in my band (Keyboard player, Melbourne, Australia). Awesome song.
I'm 74...I never needed drugs... this music just jangled every nerve ending in my body...still does!!

Don't forget CSN&Y and Allman Bros
Amen to that!!

All I can add is- what the hell took them so long ? The Doobies are a national treasure!
@@jellyfish3333 hall of fame controlled by Jann Wenner of Rolling Stone, a complete idiot

You have no clue do you?
Doobies are fantastic. Love driving cross country listening to their 🎶 🎵 for 2700 miles. What a drive!!!!!!!!!!!
The Captain and Me is one of the true "front to back" rock albums.
I’m almost seventy-six. I might get old but this NEVER does.
I just turned 71 and I am Rockin to The Oldies.....😅
I'm right there with you!
DAYUM this band Still Jams!
That sax player deserves a huge mention. Fantastic music!
His name is Marc Russo.
China Grove, 1973, livin life, all is good, 19yrs old, God bless my parents, if I could turn back time, never leave home !!
We are the same age, Man, that was a special time for me. Turned 66 couple of weeks back. Rock on, brother.
Ed Cooper no lie!! Never knew I had it so good!!

Who ever was working the console forgot to include the bass guitars feed. This was likely a good concert, but this recording is a dud.
So Jesus is allright with me
One of my all-time favorite bands. What a life we've had with all the amazing music made by bands like the Doobie Brothers.
My Buddy and I saw them at Massey Hall in Toronto in72 the opening act was a very young Billy Joel Cheers from Canada
Two of the BEST ROCK ALBUMS ever: The Captain And Me, and Toulouse Street.
I'll never get tired of that intro
Yep, Ill still go all MOE LARRY CHEEEESE since that May evening in 73 I got the 45 . Timeless Riff!
The Doobie Brothers without a doubt one of
the best creative cool roockin bands ever...thanks for posting this
Best guitar riff ever, and the perfect blasting song in college to show off the stereo I bought with my student loan.
I saw them Live in the early '70s in Sydney Australia! They are as good a live band as has ever walked the earth.
Tom Johnston created the true sound of the Doobie Brothers( His Voice)and his bandmates did him proud the way they play their instruments.
The epitome of a true, great Rockin Roll Band forever!

@@georgebender7519 Tom Johnston was the heart of this band "Dark eyed Cajun woman" one of my fav's ty for agreeing :D

Bad ass as it ever gets, or ever had been. A song about a make believe place and by the time it ends you believe that place exists. Now that's rock and roll.
it does exist its close to san antonio texas
China Grove is a real place.it is down around San antonio tx.
Sold a shit-load of real-deal audio with that band back in the day...the right music at the right time...
This band has several great bass players. That bass is kicking, way better than the early years. 21 century technology 👍
With all due respect to the Dead Heads. The Doobies are the greatest jam band of all time
ABSOLUTELY THE GREATEST BAND TO EVER HIT THE STAGE IN MY PARTICULAR LIFE! I SAW THEM IN ATLANTA TWO WEEKS AGO AND, THEY ROCKED THE "FOX THEATRE"!
Probably not. What you really mean is that they are great musicians and you like their songs.
@@DirectDemocrat Just curious, do you know how many bands @jasonmagee2921 has seen in his life?
I saw these guys in 74. Man what a rockin show. They are timeless, great great songs...
The year I graduated high school!
Saw them in concert in 1980, so good
My very first concert in 1978. Stoned as a bat! It was wonderful.

Brilliant song and what a guitar riff, one of the very best.
And the boys could harmonize with the best of them, truly American legends
Saw them at Bethel Woods (Woodstock) last summer. Steely Dan same night. Played all the oldies and it rained and it was awesome. Like a time machine.
One of the best sounding bands of my youth. Best music ever written was in the 70s.
Seen em in Ft. Wayne 1974. Superb
One of the best classic rock songs.
And how!!!!

saw this live last night in Raleigh NC and they ROCKED IT!!! Still the sounds the same as back in the day
Keep on Rocking' Boys, you still got it!!!!
I've watched this video I don't know how many times and I just hope that the people in the crowd there know what they are witnessing.
On a trip to Texas today I passed though China Grove - can’t say I saw anything crazy but it seem like more of a crossroads now. Maybe it was a bigger place in the 70’s - still it was neat to be in China Grove and turn on this tune
Tight.
Good memories come back to me listening to the Doobie Brothers. Such good musicians in this band. Rock on!
Yes it’s great ❤
I saw them in the late 70's. Years later, I was stationed in San Antonio and was driving on the highway and saw the sign China Grove city limits. You know what song I had to hear when I got home.
Even most of the kids agree...60s..70s..best music
Two fo the best drummers in the world.
One of the best intros ever!
You can feel the music straight into your heart....
THIS, boys and girls is ROCK AND ROLL!!
AMEN!!!
Damn straight!!
Right on.
I've been familiar with the sound of this song for decades now; but I didn't know its name until now. What brought me here was a clip from this song at the end of the latest Doobie Brothers concert ad.
I remember skiing at Sunshine Village, near Banff, in the early seventies, in the spring, in cut-offs, in the sunshine, with Doobie Brothers songs playing in my head. Wonderful. Spring in Alberta is glorious.
My Dad wore this 8 track out in the late 70's. I never thought much about it, but now watching them live? OMG!!!! These guys were fucking awesome!!!!
Possibly the best line-up they ever had.
1976.. Oakland coliseum.. Gary Wright, the Doobie Brothers and Fleetwood Mac... Met a girl who I was in love with, Kathy Roh from the East Bay but we hadn't spent much time together. She was gorgeous and I couldn't believe she was into me. We had only dated once but it was quite the date. I got nervous and blew it. She had to think I didn't like her but that was FAR from the case. I just didn't know how to act. Anyway, great, great show. Never forget it on many levels.
That driving hard stop at the end always does it for me ... Glad they kept it that way😊
Went to see THE CAPTAIN AND ME concert 1973 while home on leave, best concert they performed during that period !!! Great Band !!!
Thank you for your service.
The great Michael Hassock on drums. Rest in Peace my friend. A good old North Jersey guy. Last time I saw him was backstage at the Wellmont Theatre. You could not meet a nicer bunch of guys. No big ego trip. Down to earth.
This is the Doobie Brothers I remember. Awesome.
That's some great rock music for sure. They always find the monster great bass players.
They were my first concert ever in about 1976 at age 14. When the drummer had lightning bolts coming off his sticks, I was forever changed in to a concert junkie. Thank you Doobies!
I had the incredible experience to see the Doobie Brothers and Santana together August 2019, my two all time most favorite bands, brought back many memories!

Killer solos starting at 3:05 - absolutely nails it. He has that guitar screaming and the crowd is going apeshit - rock and roll lightning strikes at that moment.
Classic from one of the great bands Oh how i miss good music.
There are a couple iconic 70's bands that I will drop everything to see live. Heart and the Doobies. Bouth outstanding live. Never disappoint.
There are bits of your life you keep close to your heart, to what you were in your youth, then there is this! It was and is, your soul!
My face just blew off. Righteousness off the chart.
thank you Doobie Brothers for making my 3:54 stay on this beautiful earth , - a better one! kisses and hugs to you.
Think 1977 8track 24 hour doobies..work school play....each song fits a mood...excellence
Doobie bros. Hall of fame. It's about time. Awesome

Many blessings to you all for adding just alittle bit of joy to all of us. Peace be with you.
This is a masterpiece. Unfortunately, these days we don’t have full bands that have 2 drummers, 4 guitars with sax keyboard and percussion.
From the beginning I was a Doobie fan ! People laughed at me! I said each to his own.im still a Doobie fan .64 years old
Certified road trip classic.
Was a born and raised San Antonian and this would always be on my radio during a road trip. 🔥
I STARTED LISTENING TO THE DOOBIE BROTHERS BACK IN THE 1973 AND I STILL LISTEN TO THEM NOW
IMO,some of the most exciting opening guitar chords ever.
As recognizable an opening guitar riff as one will hear. Long live the Doobies, America’s rock band!
Saw them in concert in Albuquerque, N. M. They rocked the house.
Saw them in the 80s with some Highschool buddies in Ottawa during the Michael McDonald days - No Disrespect - He was amazing - unique- But wish I saw this concert - All the classics with the original heroes - Listened to China Grove and Black Water constantly.
After the Farewell show in '82, this is my fav doobies concert. Great songs & tight performances. Also great to see Tommy Johnston back with the band.
ICONS OUTSTANDING FOREVER ! 😎

It's also great that the live adrenalin rush didn't make them speed up. This is the same tempo as it was originally intended to be played.

Pat Simmons=VERY underrated guitarist.
John McFee is as good, if not better.
Actually, he was very much appreciated in his day. Nothing underrated about him
@@mikeamos6720 - They are all phenomenal but different, but also compliment each other incredibly well (if that makes sense).
South City Midnight Lady is a favorite. I'm a vocalist. I've done Doobie Brothers for decades! Love these guys!

is a big place
When I went to St. Bonaventure in the late 70s-early 80s, China Grove was played at the halftime of every basketball home game.
