One of the greatest voices ever!
imagine living in a world where you lived every moment of your life surrounded by these songs. Dating, parties, driving, hanging out with friends, the radio in your room. It was the perfect backdrop to having a awesome life.
We took it for granted I think. Now is like a desert
@@kathylee1261 Yeah we took it as a given that musicians would always create great music but like you said we're living in a musical desert and with few oases in sight.
You haven't begun to scratch the surface of the Doobs.
I like Michael McDonald's voice in "it keeps you running". Pretty intense.
That's my favourite song from the McDonald era ! Good one !
Good suggestion!
You need to listen to “Taking it to the Streets” next. It’s Michael’s signature song and it’s a classic.
YES.
And "It Keeps You Running."
Yes! Another great song!
Absolutely!
Live version is the best!
This was a wonderful shock that rocked the world to its core! The Doobies with a new voice, a new sound...a new life. Tom Johnston took the time he needed to save his own life, and has now returned to touring...along with Michael McDonald and the Doobies...
The Doobies are still rocking!
Indeed, yes they are!
You have barely scratched the surface of Doobie Bros. Many albums, all excellent. I’m enjoying the ride.❤️
This whole album is da bomb.
In case no one has mentioned it yet, that guitarist laying back in his chair while he plays is former Steely Dan band mate Jeff "Skunk" Baxter. He was one of the 5 members of Steely Dan when they were still an actual band before they became just Walter and Donald plus every top level studio musician in the business.
Back in the day, it was light up a doobie, listen to the Doobies and chill.
Michael McDonald "I keep Forgettin" is phenominal.
The Doobies, in all their forms, are just a plain old groovy group. Tom or Mike singing either way we continue to groove to the Doobies. I enjoy a doobie while listening.
Thanks for not interrupting the music. It shows respect.
Try this gem from them…“Another Park, Another Sunday”
The music of the Doobie Brothers is a treasure. They've always had RnB stylings in their music but after Michael McDonald joined they became more rooted in that style
This.
Middle.
Eight.
Grabs me DEEP every time.
Michael McDonald changed the Doibie's direction when he joined. His voice and the new-found sophistication of the back-up vocals came as quite a surprise to long-time fans. Jeff (Skunk) Baxter on guitar and Tiran Porter's remarkable bass lines made Minute By Minute one of the very best albums of the decade.
Totally agree! It's a gem from start to finish for all the reasons you mentioned.
I'm glad u all like these songs...see what a groove it was back then...we old geezers had the best music to listen too
It keeps you running..is another great song by the doobie brother's
Nick, you need to check out The Dukes of September. That group is Donald Fagan and Michael McDonald and Boz Scaggs together. Back up female vocalists are the veterans of Steely Dan live tours.
Long Train Runnin’ the original studio album version 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Yes! Great track as well.
You will never stop playing this from now on. I guarantee it!
Count me in the early Doobies camp, just because they and Elvin Bishop among others were big in my senior year (1974). One memory, me as the nerd hanging with a couple of cheerleaders (who were amazed when I came to school with my right hand in a huge bandage from surgery after being run through with a switchblade) and the Doobies “China Grove” playing in the background. Ah, the early days.
Did I say “China Grove”? Yeah, “China Grove.”
Such a great singer, one of the best.
Welcome to my world. This is the music I grew up listening with Doobie Brothers, Steely Dan... Try Doobie Brothers "Real Love". By the way, love your show.
The Michael McDonald version of The Doobie Brothers was actually a huge change in the band's direction. The Doobie Brothers used to be a pretty hard-rocking band in their earlier days. You should check that early stuff out. You won't believe it's the same band. I prefer the rock stuff.
Thank you, Dropped them after the blue eyed soul Schtick kicked in.
@@hatsbo1 Calling it "Blue eyed soul" is reductive. Calling it a shtick is ignorant.
I love the Doobie Brothers especially before MM joined the band. Must listen!
Jeff (the skunk) Baxter was in the original Steely Dan band and also The Doobie Brothers (lead Guitar) . Michael was latter brought into the Doobie Brothers , but he has been a back up singer to many artists . More Doobie Brothers !
In fact Jeff is the one who recommended Michael to the Doobies since they worked together in Steely Dan.
When they toured for this album, Skunk primarily played a Roland guitar synth which I think is prominent on this and some of the other tracks. His solo on the end of "How Do The Fools Survive" was legendary, and accomplished in one take.
Skunk Baxter is the seated, laid-back guitarist you were talking about from the live version of What a Fool Believes
Probably one of my favorite songs on my list GOAT. Never tires. Thank you!!
Love me some Michael McDonald, BUT...Nobody has mentioned the earlier Doobie Brothers album Toulouse Street...It has the hit songs, Listen To The Music, Rocking Down The Highway and Jesus Is Just Alright...The rest of that album is Deep Cuts Gold!!
Also...People saying they are Soft Rock or something else never saw them in concert or listened to their early albums...I grew up on The Doobies...Have their albums...Saw them in concert...THEY ROCK!!💯
What a kick watching you two groove on some Doobie Brothers! I love "Losin' End" from Takin' It to the Streets, as well as the title track and "It Keeps You Runnin'". As far as pre- Michael Doobies goes, I love the album What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits, and the cuts "Tell Me What You Want (And I'll Give You What You Need)", "Another Park, Another Sunday", and "Flying Cloud".
🎵❤️🎵
Great choices!
Love It keeps you runnin 👍🏻👍🏻
Check out The Dukes of September. That group is Fagan and McDonald together.
Guys! Ride like the Wind by Christopher Cross and Michael McDonald oh yeh so smooth such a groove!!! I'm on the ruuuuunnn, such a long way to goooooooo!!!! To make it to the border to Mexico 🤟❤️🏝️🌞
Love the Doobie Brothers. Funny thing is that Jeff Baxter became a consultant for the department of defense. His specialty was in missile defense. He is still involved in national security issues. All of this was an outgrowth of his interest in electronic music and the algorithms. Black Water and China Grove are two of my favorite DB songs.
Baxter is a real interesting guy. .
I was 14 when this came out LOL! Such a great sound the Doobie brothers had! This track sends you into a groove that is so laid back and soulful! I think those that grew up in the 70's 80's and 90's were truly blessed with such great and diverse artists!
I was working at a record store in Santa Cruz when I saw Tiran Porter coming to the store and I quickly put on Minute By Minute so he'd hear it when he entered. When he came in he looked at me like "C'mon, Man!" and then I just smiled at him as it dawned on him that I wasn't playing The Doobies.
It was a new album by Larry Carlton. He was surprised and delighted...and bought the album (with about 20 others!)
My favorite Doobie Brothers song
Similarly to Steely Dan, the Doobie Brothers have had a couple of different iterations. Formed in the early 70s in Santa Cruz California, they were originally a laid back biker band, after the first radio hit with "Listen to the Music" they consolidated their sound on the album The Captain and Me in the early mid 70s. In 1976 the band leader and lead guitarist Tom Johnston became chronically sick and dropped out of the band. Michael McDonald stepped in and a whole new keyboard driven sound emerged. The MM version of the DB was born during the disco era. Older fans hated the change. I liked both bands but preferred the earlier hard rocking guitar version. You should try the above mentioned album and just run it through. Forner SD guitarist Jeff Baxter had joined the earlier DB version after Steely Dan stopped touring, and remained with the group through the change to the MM version. Personally, I truly love MMs voice, but he shines best in his solo work, and yes, you'll love the Dukes of September with Fagen, McDonald, and guitarist Boz Skaggs. I saw them live in 2009 when they first formed.
Thanks for the video love the Doobie Brothers. "Another lonely park another Sunday " is one my favorites by them .
In 2012 my sister saw The Doobie Brothers and Chicago live on stage together.
Both bands traded off covering each other's songs.
There is video of this on UA-cam.
Wish I was there.
I saw the Doobie Brothers last summer in Kansas City….blown away! Outdoor venue, air tainted with the sweet fragrance..
Having seen these guys like 20 times starting in the mid 70's, I can tell you every combination of players was incredible! For some of their deeper (and better cuts), try For Someone Special, Don't Stop To Watch The Wheels, Rio, Livin On The Fault Line, and for a killer guitar song check out Road Angel!
The Doobie Brothers Minute by Minute tour was my first rock concert. Thanks for the reaction!
I never get tired of this song!
The perfect definition of smooth.
The entire Minute By Minute album is phenomenal. Not a bad song on it.
Wooo hooo another awesome rabbit hole here we go!!!!!
So much fun any age enjoys it......Great reaction......
Cheers
I took my brother (3 years younger) to the Doobie Brothers for his first concert. He loved it. Many great albums, but one of my favorites is "The Captain and Me." Recommended - South City Midnight Lady, Dark Eyed Cajun Woman, and Ukiah. All deep cuts for sure. However, EVERYTHING on this album is exceptional.
I'm with you re my favourite album, but I have always loved the complexity of 'Clear as the Driven Snow'. I saw them do this song live and it was so good to watch them play it. I don't think many in the audience knew it, but by the end they were asking for more. In my top 5 groups of all time.
Let the “Doobie Flood” gates open!
There’s at least 7-8 great ones!
Doobie Brothers are awesome. Great songs. It keeps you running and Black Water are just a few of many great tracks.
In 2018 my daughter bought us tickets to The Summer of Living Dangerously Tour featuring the Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan together! Imagine going to THAT concert! It was a bucket list moment !
Another Lonely Park Another Summer, Doobies cult fave. You two will absolutely love it. No Michael McDonald but Tom Johnson does a bang up job on vocals and Patrick and Skunk work lovely rhythm guitars!
Another Park, Another Sunday is a classic single that should have been a bigger hit then it was
Apas is my favorite Doobie brothers song
@@timbrown7656 amazing song
I am one of the old school that preferred the earlier Doobies material, but I do enjoy N&L's reactions and they allow me to re-listen to , and perhaps re-evaluate, music that I had forgotten. Being from the UK, listening to the Doobies always reminds me of the Warner Bros. Tour 1975, when Little Feat supported the Doobies at the Rainbow, and stole the show. That was how I was introduced to Little Feat, one of my favourite U.S. bands, who I know you have reacted to previously. As always, an entertaining reaction guys; always enjoyable.
Blue Eyed Soul at it's finest.
Damn fine vocal by Michael M. smooth backing vocals, and great musicians with great all round arrangement.
There’s a big difference between the Doobs pre-Michael and post-Michael.
I loved them so much prior to his arrival… and hoping you’ll check the pre-Michael stuff too, because it’s marvelous.
Probably repeating myself, but the 1st 2 8-tracks I bought with my own money were Doobie Bros. Captain & Me… and Steely Dan, Can’t Buy a Thrill!
See the short SCTV skit about how at that time Michael McDonald was running around putting background vocals on many hit songs, such as Christopher Cross' "Ride With The Wind"
( "SCTV 3 Gerry Todd and Michael McDonald - UA-cam" )
Hahaha! Glad someone mentioned this :D It was sooo hilarious when 1st seeing it, run into a lot of people that still bring it up :D.
ua-cam.com/video/4JLbhEUE_5U/v-deo.html :)
Thanks for the link- I hadn't seen it and it is hilarious!!
Yes, please do the whole album. The opening track, “here to love you” and the closing track “how do the fools survive” are great!
Gems for sure!
Love this album, great.
check out the Doobie Brothers song, " it keep you running" great song, Michael McDonald at his best
Doobies Brothers and Steely Dan. You have no idea. Enjoy. Two long journeys there.
I worked at a Ski Resort in the Canadian Rocky Mountains in 1979, on the graveyard shift. I skied every day. This is the first song I played after I woke up.
Good Times.
Doobies forever! Can't wait to see them in Phoenix in October!! Real music, real melodies and harmonies, miss those days.
I saw the Doobie Brothers 4 times in concert in the pre MM era concerts which I will always cherish. MM changed them to a pop band like the BeeGees. The original Doobie Brothers are iconic.
The captain and me album is a "must" listen
I recall hearing this song on the radio. It got a ton of play time. I lived in San Jose,Ca at the time which is where they got their start. I met one of the brothers at the junior college I attended in Cupertino, Ca.
Tiran Porter on bass. He adjusted his styler perfectly to Michael McDonald's entry into the Doobies.
You realise this track is pure jazz blues. It’s immaculate precisely because it has lineage
So cool watching you two discover this music. Bought this on 8 track along with Supertramp's "Breakfast in America." Magical music for my 12 year-old mind in SoCal.
Live version of " Taking it to the Streets" is the best - totally rocks!
Live from Santa Barbara "Taking It to The Streets." And I thought you already knew Michael MacDonald sang with Steely Dan!
The Pop era of The Doobie Brothers, w/ Michael McDonald, is great, but please don't sleep on the pre-McDonald era, w/ Tom Johnston, when they first became hugely famous. They had many Rock hits w/ Tom, such as "China Grove" " Listen To the Music" "Black Water" and many more.
I like the pre-McDonald era the best
Yep. That's the Doobie Brothers sound. Although Michael is a great singer, he kinda ruined the band for me. But he's a nice fella. Talked to him and Dobie Gray on the phone once.
I don't understand at all why people who prefer pre-McDonald Doobies keep saying it became too "pop". You can prefer whichever one you like, but I think Michael gave them more of an R & B feel, not Pop! (OK, maybe "What a Fool Believes" was a bit pop, but still a great song...). The former Doobies were just more basic rock or soft rock, that's the main difference (besides Michael's incredible voice).
OK, if by more Pop you mean more commercial, then I still call BS.
I am 𝐒𝐎𝐎𝐎 excited you're on this Doobie journey! ♡
what a great album this came from - also check out the Doobies' Santa Barbara concert in 1982 . Amazing sound for that time...
You mentioned the first song on the album Minute By Minute... that song is "Here To Love You." And it has one of my VERY favorite piano openings of any song. You will love the song. I think a full-album reaction is a great idea.
Deep cut - South City, Midnight Lady is a gem
Stunning voice Michael Macdonald and the keyboards are up there too! Fantastic song!!
The other guy on that DVD your friend lent you is probably boz scaggs and try him out Lido Shuffle and Lowdown. You will love it
Hurray. Minute by Minute! The whole album please. Not a bad track on it.
Great stuff with MM... But please don't forget the EARLY Doobies, which put them "on the map"...!!!
Regards,
ALinCAL : )
So, the story that I read and confirmed by Don and Walt, is that after Michael joined the band as backing vocal to record Katy Lied, Royal Scam, and Aja, the band mates and producer Gary Katz told Michael he was too good to continue as just a backing vocal, and to venture out on his own. Spread your wings as they say. It obviously worked out joining the Doobies and this great album. Later by 2006, he joined Steely Dan on the band's summer tour, both as the opening act and as part of the band. Wish I had gone to see them back then. Michael is such a huge force on his own.
Love them!! And Michael, to die for!!!
You need to listen to Doobie’s I Cheat the Hangman. Wait for the horns. I bet you cry. :) Doobies have 3 lead singers of note. This time it’s Patrick Simmons. Also lead on Black Water which is also very good.
It Keeps You Running, Echoes of Love with Michael on vocals, and Black Water and Another Park Another Sunday with original vocalist, all fantastic songs and all different.
Hello again folks. I’m glad you both enjoyed that blue-eyed smooth jazz / soul song. By the way. I’m also requesting another Doobie Brothers song from the Minute By Minute album; and it’s called, How Do Those Fools Survive?
His signature song to me is "I Keep Forgetting".
It won song of the year at the grammy's
My favorite by them is Jesus is just alright ! Great tune
There are a lot of good Doobie Brothers to do and there’s a lot of good songs on this album. For guitar sake you got to listen and react to Jeff Skunk Baxter founding member of steely Dan who plays steel guitar and a lot of great guitar solos on the first three Steely Dan albums. He has some killer solos. Jeff skunk Baxter is the relaxed guitar player you’re seeing on the videos. On this record the last song is How Do the Fools Survive you have to react to it, you will be crushed if you don’t.Baxter He did the solo in one take and he smoked it right out of the park. Literally (smoked it) they are the Doobie Brothers after all. Another thing on this album would be some of the Patrick Simmons songs as he is one of the founding members of the Doobie Brothers. It wouldn’t be fair not to react to at least one of their founding members. There are a lot of people that don’t agree with you about Michael McDonald and think that he took Them on a circuitous path. But there are many paths up the mountain. You should listen to taking it to the streets but I prefer Living on the Fault Line….. better for what it’s worth it’s a jazzy album not as commercial as Taking it to the Streets, it’s all good though. It would appease the hard core Doobie Brothers fans if you reacted to a Patrick Simmons song off of Minute by Minute. I would check out, Don’t Stop to Watch the Wheels. You won’t truly satisfy the hard-core Doobie Brothers fans until you listen to some Tom Johnston songs of which there are many great ones. Long Train Running is a great place to start. It’s hard to go wrong just got to figure out how to make yourself happy along the way, everybody else will follow. Thanks again for another great reaction. 😍
Another Park Another Sunday is haunting and beautiful, w/o Michael; Taking it to the Street, with Michael, intense.. So much good Doobies, both with and before Michael McD. DB so tight that SD had not one, not two, but 3 SD members on their albums and tours. That is unequalled by any other band. Michael is, indeed, The Voice.
It keeps you running, real love, you belong to me and little darlin...
The other singer from that DVD you mentioned is Boz Scaggs. I recommend just about any DB song. Try Blackwater, that’s a goodun’
That was a great and “Dirty Low Down” comment! Haha 😛
@@michelemichele3375 Thanks MM, I didn’t see your comment till just now, I was out runnin’ with the Jonses!
@@realbser1956 uh-huh. Got to have a Jones for this, a Jones for that … this runnin’ with the Joneses, Boy, just ain’t where it’s at … ✨😉
Wait till you listen to the words, this song is so elevated for wisdom to relationships….
Parmi les plus belles harmonies vocales de l'histoire de la musique !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Les doobie brothers sont un groupe MAJEUR dans l'histoire de la musique tout simplement !!!!!!!!!!! Bien sûr l'arrivée du GÉNIE MICHAEL MAC DONALD a la fin des années 70 ( en provenance de steely dan qu'il avait accompagné dans leur tournée mondiale aux claviers et aux backgrounds vocaux au milieu des années 70) a été déterminante dans le destin de cet extraordinaire groupe natif de la région de san Francisco !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quand a ce minute by minute il est rentré depuis longtemps dans la mémoire collective !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! D'une beauté SURNATURELLE TOUT SIMPLEMENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HISTORIQUE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GUY
Their best albums are Stampede and The Captain and Me. Both before Michael joined.
The best way to keep the different band members apart is to ask the immortal question, “Which Doobie you be?”
I love all versions of the Doobie Brothers. They have a new album out late last year called 'Liberte' which I love big time.
South City Midnight Lady
It Keeps You Running
Blackwater
Another Park Another Sunday
Listen To the Music
Takin It to the Streets
For starters, there's a boatload more, enjoy!
You will love China Grove by the Doobies amazing guitar riff trust me 🤟
Lex, you still gotta have Nick react to 'Black Water' #nicknlexrequest👍
An earlier Doobie Brothers track you should really check out is "Tell me what you want (and I give you what you need)" 😀
“Here To Love You”, now there’s a track that just, “Jams”!!!! Michael McDonald’s vocal is killer!!!
