Ask any of us who were around back then, the Doobies were an essential part of the soundtrack of the 70s. Many hits
Absolutely.
True that! Some of us smoked a doobie while listening.
God yes!!!!
It really kind of saddens me every time they say 'I've never heard of...', in the 70's I was as well versed on Hank Williams, Sr. as I was The Steve Miller Band or the Eagles or the Doobie Brothers.
@@31Mike Because there was so much diversity in music back then, and artists were more free to express themselves than they are now.
Back in the 70's everyone was a "brother" or "sister" in the great family of mankind, no matter what skin you were in....
Comment of the year seriously I agree thousand percent
Nail on top of head… Amen
I remember those days. No politics, just people living.
Very true. And smoking a doobie meant😉🤘
So proud to have grown up then❤️
This is what we listened to at the beach, the school parking lot, the party--where everyone was happily chillin!
No drama--no anger--just loves and laughs!
Take me back
You got that right "Oliver Das Gupta"!!!!!!!!
"Wish I didn't know now, what I didn't then"!!!!!
"What I didn't know then"
Yesssssss!!!!!!
Same.. we would get a bunch of Us and hang at the beach or local park. I’m talking like half the town. It was great to be alive in the 80’s-early 90’s. Lots of memories.
Recorded in '71. First time I heard this on the radio, I had to pull off the side of the road and listen. They are among my favorite bands forever.
As a 55yr old dude. I refer to this as "Smooth Rock". ✌🤙
Cruisin' music
I knew it as biker music. The Satan's Choice members that would ride through my childhood neighbourhood used to listen to The Doobies.
Yeah, it's a part of what's now often called "classic rock", but music genres are just labels. :)
Hell Yes ... Many Many Memories and Party’s with the Doobie Brothers ... China Grove, Long Train Runnin, What a Fool Believes, Taken it to the streets, Black Water,Jesus is alright , just to name a few .... 😊😊👍🏼👊🏼.. Rock
Let's not forget the slow jams. South City Midnight Lady & Another Park Another Sunday ❤❤❤❤❤
@@heyou702pc All great hits.
These are my picks too!!!
What a Fool Believes!!!
❤❤❤❤
How about that ? People who could really sing !! Without needing autotune or drum machines, these guys delivered time and time again. They were a true BAND !!
Who told you the Allman Brothers weren't brothers? They absolutely were brothers. Dwayne died in a motorcycle accident. He was lead guitar his brother Greg was keyboard and vocals. They founded the band together. After Dwayne died they kept playing, recording and touring as the Allman Brothers Band. They were Southern Rock and blues.
Doobies were also Southern Rock.
Doobies had a southern sound, and they were from the San Francisco Bay area
@@grumpyoldgraymetalhead2441 Actually, They Were From The Santa Cruz Area, And Played In The Bars Where The Hells Angels Motorcycle Club Members Would Hang Out, And Most Of Them Rode Harleys, And The Remaining Members Probably Still Do Ride . . .
"What a Fool Believes" by them is AMAZING!
I second that!
Please do this one.
Yep. And I want to hear what they have to say when they hear Michael McDonald.
@@ncthom88 I'm actually amazed how many artists he has sang with and sang backup for. He did backup for Toto, the song "I'll be over you" ....gives me chills every single time!!
@@jeanniemetiva6745 Yes! These guys need to do some more Steely Dan, too. We need their take on Peg.
Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear the Reaper
Kansas - Dust in the Wind
Yes - Roundabout
Rush - Tom Sawyer
Metallica - Nothing Else Matters
Electric Light Orchestra - Don't Bring Me Down
Pantera- fucking hostile 🤣
All of these... And if you're going to do Pantera, do Cemetery Gates!
Going way back! That’s cool!
For BOC I'd have to go with Veteran of the Psychic Wars , Black Blade or Hot Rails to Hell.
I'd swap out Tom Sawyer for Spirit of Radio but they were definitely both "bangers" as the kids say.
"Long Train Running", "China Grove", "Black Water" are fantastic songs that I'm sure you'll love. Long Train has a epic harmonica solo to boot!!
Absolutely 💯% spot on.
check out the recent versions of these sengs by the old versions o these guys - even better than the originals
Hell yeah China Grove excellent song
That harmonica you mention takes the song through the stratosphere.
All great songs. Black Water has always been one of my favorites.
"Black Water" and "Jesus is Just Alright" are two more fire tracks from them
yes to both of those!!
Yes!
Back in the seventies our church youth choir sang Jesus is Just Alright for the congregation. Went over very well!
The Lord Jesus Crist is way more than just all right with me. I know he died for all my sins past present and future. PERSONALLY, And he has yours to I hope you put ALL your trust in the savior of our souls. I love him and am very grateful. I came to this video to let people know. Have a great day
Love Love Love The Doobie Brothers! Here are some of their greatest songs:
Black Water 1974, China Grove 1973 It Keeps You Runnin' 1976, Jesus is Just Alright 1972, Long Train Running 1973, Take Me in Your Arms 1975, Takin' it to the Streets 1976, What a Fool Believes 1978.
YEEESSS!
Oh ya ALL of those - but there's somethin about the GROOVE of Jesus Is Just alright, cool vibe man
Yep!
A song that never received much airplay was, in my opinion, one of their best ever... "South City Midnight Lady"... what a great song, vocals and musicianship.
@@StephanMarcDubois I love that song. I like most of their music, even the ones that were not hit songs nor played on the radio.
The other obscure one I really like is Another Park, Another Sunday.
Doobie Brothers are 70's rock/pop.
Allman Brothers are considered southern rock.
DB also dip into the southern and/or folk rock genre, for sure.
Agreed, I might also call the Doobies soft rock.
They also fall under “Classic Rock” (a lot of the 70’s rock music falls in that category) Their song “Jesus is Just Alright (with me)” is inspiring, a Rock group being open about their faith... another cool thing 😎 about hippie music 🥰 (another example would be “Spirit in the Sky” by Norman Greenbaum)
@@paulco4145 yeah, but please don’t call them Yacht Rock. God I hate that term. Lol
Their music is at the intersection of Rock, Pop, Folk, a little bluegrass, a lot of harmony and Can't Get Enough of this Boulevard
One of the biggest laughs I've had listening to music was when George Clinton /Parliament said of combining genres, "Do you want Doobie in your funk?"
Music back then was better, it just made people feel good. It didn't call anybody names or made people mad with certain words. U just enjoyed it together.....
It's Classic Rock, pure and simple. And this was a huge and timeless hit. And there's some great talent there--like Skunk Baxter on guitar. I prefer this particular early line-up.
You may be right about classic rock. They played the Doobie brothers all over the R&B stations as well. This group crossed over into country, they did it all!!
The Allman Bro's were brothers. Gregg played organ and Duane played guitar.
I was about to say
There were other members who were not brothers, and they kept the name even after Duane's untimely death.
Gregg was a guitar player as well, jus didn't show it much untell the 80s early 90s.
I think they confused the Allman Brothers with the Righteous Brothers. Allmans definitely a were brothers but Righteous Brothers were not. They reacted to both about a week apart.
The guitarist with the sunnies on is Jeff "Skunk" Baxter who apart from playing with the Doobie Brothers also had a lot to do with Steely Dan.
P.S. I believe a Doobie was slang for a joint.
I believe you're right. lol.
Interesting thing about Jeff is that he is now a defense contractor and is very involved in national security having chaired a congressional advisory board on missile defense.
@@emmef7970 I KNOW he's right.
Yes, slang for a joint. 😂
I was 8 years old when this song came out in 1972 and I am SO GRATEFUL to have grown up in this decade with bands like this always in the background. This was one of my favorite songs that year. I haven't stopped listening to the music since.
The Doobie Brothers have a deep catalog to explore and it's worth digging into.
"Long Train Running", "China Grove", "Black Water", "What A Fool Believes", "Minute by Minute", "Real Love", so much to listen to.
I was 7. Yes we are lucky! Even though I was a kid, I miss the 70’s.
I was 6
You and me both, i was 8
Me too !! The clothes were dynamic .
I had a similar reaction when I first heard this song! Loved it the first time I heard it. I think I was like 6 yrs old.
You both called it...early 70's, hippie vibes. It was a great time to be young. All kinds of great music everywhere!
So TRUE
The RADIO was everything!
Great music from all types. Soul, funk,punk, hard rock, jazz, R&B, Progressive Rock, the beginnings of Metal. So many great artists able to write there own or cover a tune and make it their own.
Genre is Exceptionally talented
This is one of those songs when you're driving in the car on a warm early spring day, and you have to roll the windows down and crank the stereo full blast and cruze along.
Love the Doobies,we actually named our cat Doobie,in their honor.They are not brothers,but Doobie does mean a marijuana cigarette.But my favorite by them is "Black Water"you gotta listen to that one.They are a rock band that had hits from the late 60' s through the 80's,long career.Rock and Roll Hall of Famers.Another great band from this era is Poco,my favorite by them is
" Keep On Trying",great song.Timothy B. Schmit's voice is amazing on that song by Poco.He also joined the Eagles after he left Poco.
I had a kitty cat named Doobie too!
I'm glad u got to reacting to the Doobie Bros!! They're not brothers but have lots of good popular songs to choose! My favorite is Long Train Running! China Grove and Black Water...many more!👍♥️😁
Not brothers but definitely enjoyed the doobie!
This song in the Top 5 of all Time,take that to the bank guys.
"It Keeps You Running" is one of the best songs the Doobie Bros ever made!
Yes, my favorite!
They're considered "Classic Rock" by today's standards. Styx, Journey, Supertramp, Alan Parsons Project, ELO, and BTO are all examples just to name a few.
First of all, the Allman Brothers did have two brothers. Greg Allman played keyboards and Duane Allman played guitar. You need to try out 'Rockin' down the Highway' and 'China Grove' by the Doobles. Great timeless classic rock!
I actually laughed out loud when he said the Allman Brothers weren't brothers. Well, the two most famous members of the band were brothers, does that not count??
Every song Doobie Brothers recorded was a major hit!!
You mentioned having that flair.. well I was a 60's baby and my mother sewed all of our clothes. She made curtains for my bedroom the sixties and seventies colors lime green yellow and pink flowers .. she had enough material left to make me a halter top and bell bottom pants. I was fly .. and only 6 years old !! My parents were into George Jones and Dolly but my cousins were into Joplin and Dr. Hook .. and Queen. I had the best childhood !
Love the Doobie Brothers. “Long Train a Runnin’”, “China Grove”, “Black Water” are some songs to check out. Another cool band to react to are The Hollies.
Long Train Running is an excellent song and brings back some excellent memories.
Just good old 70s rock and roll.
The Doobies have a boatload of great tunes that were ALL over the radio back then.
IMO there's 4 kinds of musical 'genres':
1: 'That's all right' genre
2: 'That's really good' genre
3: 'That's fkn insane!' genre
4: 'OMG, my brain just melted' genre
These guys played at my High School in 1971 and they were the warm up band for the 2 main bands (Tower of Power and Stonehenge). They are from San Jose California.
I just realized how sad it makes me that so many people missed so much excellent music simply because of their age and lack of exposure. Thank you for spreading the good vibes!
In this video, Tom Johnston singing, to the right of Tom is Tiran Porter playing bass, to left of Tiran is Jeff "Skunk" Baxter who used to play for Steely Dan and on the end is Patrick "Pat Simmons" Jeff is the one who suggested Michael McDonald to replace Tom signing until Tom got better as Michael used to sing back up for Steely Dan, that's how Jeff and Michael knew each other. Did you notice there are 2 drummers? A rare sight to see.
Steely Dan? Never heard of them...
The Doobies really took off after they got Michael McDonald in the band as the lead singer. Kind of like Journey getting Steve Perry.
Two drummers like the Allmand brothers.
The Doobie Brothers were so talented that they were able to span-out into several genres of music. This song you heard was considered Soft Rock - Pop music, but they also had songs that crossed-over into other genres like hard Rock, and Blue- Eyed- Soul not many could acheive this and be so successful. Oh... I think you must have gotten your bands mixed up. Because Duane and Gregg Of *The Allman Brothers Band* were real brothers. *Gregg* was the Vocalist, Keyboardist, and *Duane* was the Lead Guitarist. Enjoyed listening along with ya'll. lol
@@mamaflush9945 Amen!
Skunk Baxter in the middle there also played for Steely Dan, besides the Doobies.
He has also worked as a missile defense consultant.
So many huge hits in the 70's!! The best! This group always made you dance and smile! Great memories from my teenage years.
They had more than one singer. Tom Johnston is singing lead on this song. Tom Johnston and Pat Simmons are the 2 main singers. Then Tom had some health and medical issues so they got Michael McDonald and he sang lead for awhile with Pat. Now they are touring with all 3 singers and a couple of the original band members.
The Doobies were one of the groups that had multiple Lead Singers, switching off who sang lead, depending on what the song needed vocally. Another wildly famous group that had Multiple Lead Singers, was “The Eagles”, who Leads also had extremely successful Solo careers.
I seen Tom and Pat with current lineup of Doobie Brothers before Michael rejoined the band, in 2016 live in West Palm Beach.
Late 60's early 70's was a great time to be a teen !!! Lots of great concerts, tickets were inexpensive...went to a lot of them that were free. People would hang out just to listen to music. I remember lots of times just walking down the street making friends with ppl just sitting on their front porch with the music cranked up. Wouldn't trade those memories for anything !!!
Absolutely luv the bass line in this song, brother is bringing the funk.
The great Tirian Porter.
Taryn Porter! 😎
Tiran Calvin Porter (Born September 26, 1948), Was Their Second Bass Player, Wherein Dave Shogren Was Their First Bass Player On Their 1970 Self-Titled Album The Doobie Brothers . . .
I'm 37 and this and definitely reminds me of my dad... Rest in peace. Raised on good music
As they say “they don’t be related - but they Doobie Brothers”
Which Doobie you be?
😉😉😉😉
Brothers by choice are better than brothers by blood.
The genre is California San Jose 1970s band music. Very hybrid sound. The music from the Seventies was more upbeat in tone/lyrics. It was celebratory. It showcased the fun things in life: Hanging out with your friends, driving around in your car with your girlfriend, partying, just enjoying life in general. Today's music is dour by comparison. Music reflects what is going on in a society.
Back when you could get a four year degree with a summer job and drugs were pharmaceutical grade. Now you have 100k in debt and speed freaks look like gollum.
Spot on...and it's kinda sad.
Ton Johnston's arrangements are top class; he really understands music. This song has a lot of high frequencies going on, together with his tenor voice, and this pleases the human brain, making it happy. Truly a masterpiece!
Pop Rock. Songs: Jesus Is Just Alright With Me, China Grove, Minute by Minute, many others.
"Music brings everyone together" - You are not mistaken my friend. EXCELLENT reaction. The Doobies were "one of those bands". They kind of occupy their own genre. Nobody really sounds like them. Long Train Runnin' will make you stand up!
Agree 100 per cent. Feel good music, very unique band.
Every Doobies song is a classic and a hit, in my opinion. They have great variety while always staying true to their roots. Hard to pick a favorite.
When I went out to buy my first really good sound system in the early 70's, every stereo store played this song when they were demonstrating their equipment. The familiarity, the production value, the positivity... I still love it.
Some of the very best guitar playing in history.
BRINGS BACK 💞
GREAT MEMORIES
4 🎸🎸🎸🎸
2 🥁🥁in one band
Music really didn't have a genre in the 70's. I myself consider them rock.
The Doobie Brothers were one of the hottest bands of the 1970s :)
Check out their "Black Water" and "Long Train Running" ;) Both are classics.
"Pop" wasn't really a genre back in the day. If music sold a lot of records (meaning it was popular) it was called Pop, but it could be country, rock and roll, soul, R&B, easy listening - whatever. And it would all be played on "Pop" radio stations.
Would you call it Southern Rock?
And...the 70's is probably the only period when "pop" fans also embraced music with a religious theme and shot them to the top of the charts. Examples..."Amazing Grace" by Judy Collins and "My Sweet Lord" George Harrison, "Spirit in the Sky" Norman Greenbaum and many more.
@@christinec1928 I wouldn't. There isn't any country or blues elements that I think are essential in Southern Rock.
I think there were plenty of pop hits in the 50's and 60's with religious leanings ("People get Ready" by Sam Cook comes to mind)
@@christinec1928 kind of 🤷 . There were a few bands out of California like the Doobies, Poco, Eagles, Jackson Brown, Linda Ronstat, CCR I know I’m forgetting some band but these bands all had a country vibe.
His hair's still flowing. The bands were very diverse in the 70's. It feels like we're going backwards!! 😭
You listen to a lot of music from our generation (I am 77), and that is a good think. We were basically a happy generation and the music was fun, made you smile, sing along, dance to and generally feel good. I see distinct difference with the darkness all around in music and everything else in these days.
In the summer of 2004, it was forecasted to rain a lot during my husband's vacation. We packed our things into our car, and our 9 month son into the car seat, and started a road trip across British Columbia to Tofino. The Doobie Brothers were playing much of the time and my son was calm and slept very well during that road trip.
It's Rock and Roll guys! If you can't put a Genre on it 99 percent of the time it's Rock and Roll! 🤗🤔😎
It's awesome that the music I grew up hearing -60s, 70s, 80s - is becoming popular again, thanks to you youngsters! Keep reintroducing this great music the the next generation.
This song peaked number 11 on Billboard's top 100 in November 1972. I was a junior in high school!
I would not classify The Doobie Brothers as pop They had great songs and I still listen to their music. My kids grew up listening to their music. If music is good, it knows no generation. I love watching your reactions to the music from the 70's because it was by far the best music of any generation. You play so many of my favorites that I still listen to today. You don't always interpret the stories correctly but I so appreciate your joy in hearing things for the first time. You bring a smile to my face every time!
The Missus's intro to Billy Idol NEEDS to be "White Wedding"!
You took the words out of my mouth!
"Another Park, Another Sunday" is one of their great laid back, mellow tunes. I think you'd love it!
@PongGod --- Yes, "Another Park Another Sunday" And "South City Midnight Lady".
The Allman Brothers Band started by two brothers,: Greg and Duane Allman. Duane was killed in a motorcycle accident so Greg kept the band going. Just thought you should know
First song I ever listened to with headphones, back in '73. Absolutely magical!
Love their “Taking It to the Streets”. Awesome reaction to a great song. I was a teen in the 70s & really believed that with the diversity that was growing & the message in so much of the music coming forward from the 60’s into the 70’s that we moving in the right direction. Saddens me to see the world that we are navigating currently. Listening to beautiful (inside & out) young people like you touches my heart & brings back my hope. Bless you.❤️
Just makes me shake my head every time you all say "I've never heard of...". I want to excuse it to 'youth' and not being exposed to it. But as a kid in the 70's, I knew music from the 40's, 50's and 60's as well as the 70's... and I didn't have an Internet to make it available to me at a literal click of a button lol.
That's ok, though, you're getting to know all these groups/singers now... you have heard of Elvis, right? Right?!?
Brother I’m right there with ya. I make the same argument all the time, I can name you bands or performers going back to the 30’s and 40’s, maybe not a ton, but enough to say, hey I wasn’t only raised in the 70’s and 80’s.
@@GT-mq1dx I guess back in the day, before the Internet and things like RUclips and play lists and such, when there was just AM and FM radio, we were just exposed to a wider range of music.
@@31Mike yeah I’d say, since that’s all we had for entertainment.
Like you said up top, I’m just glad these newer generation’s are still being exposed to it.
I’d say it’s only lost if it’s forgotten. 😎
You can't really blame them. There's music for every generation, but I notice all reactors adore the 70s music
@Patrick O'Rourke I'm not sure that I'd agree that there's more 'purposeful and personal communication' today vs. back in the 70's or 80's. There's different communication, yes, and a lot more of what I'd call 'useless' data to process. But back in the 70's and 80's (I was only a kid in the 70's, a teen in the 80's), the communication was much more personal, I feel. I feel like the advent of email and texting has made communication much more impersonal... much, much more so.
I do agree with you about Cable TV being the beginning, though. There once was a day where nearly the entire nation (for those in the U.S.), watched a single T.V. episode at the same time on the same day. I'm referring to the final episode of M*A*S*H where more than 100 Million people watched it. Or there was 'Who Shot J.R.?!', that the entire nation was obsessed with.
You mention sitting and listening to albums for hours... I do miss those times. Going to the record store, thumbing through the rows and rows of albums, before or after having gone to the movies. Then coming home and listening to our latest purchase. I remember my brothers, friends and I playing Free Bird, over and over... air guitars and air drums being played furiously lol.
Back then we had to figure out how they played it. To SEE it was heaven
I was a 15 year old schoolboy in the UK in 1974, and this blew me away. When you go away on holiday, you're always feeling excited. I heard this on the car radio when going away, and it just added to the feel-good thing. Your parents/grandparents' generations would have you rocking in your prams. They were good. They were pioneers.
This is probably their best song.
The genre is Rock-n-Roll.
Peace Out 😊✌
Doobie brothers, doobie is slang for lefthanded cigarettes ie joint. They were brothers through their music and war, and chicago were the reasons amphitheaters were popular . Those 3 bands helped us to fill our minds and spirits with love for everyone 💕
The great thing is they deliver today! The best classic rock band on the planet is the Doobie Brothers. You channel is awesome!
That Bass Player, just brilliant! Tiran Porter, one of the best in my opinion
They started in the San Francisco Bay Area, part of the California Sound. Try "Jesus Is Just Alright" OR "Long Train Running" OR " China Grove" OR "Without You" OR "Black Water" OR " Takin' It To The Streets"
A favorite since my years as a teen in the 70's. I took a couple of my sons to see them in the 90's when they were teens. They seemed to be enjoying the show and then they disappeared. They showed up after the show all excited about how great the show was and said they had gone to the front row to watch them better. They have been fans ever since even though their choice of favorite music is very different. I just saw they have a show here in September. I have to get tickets!
This video is when the Doobies were first starting out...They were all so young in this video!!!
Wait until you hear "Another Park, Another Sunday"... :)
Thank you for posting this up ! Yes, I know, it was a year ago... But I just found your lovely channel !!! :)
Hi Jay and Amber! :)
The "Top Pop" moniker is not a genre for the group, it was actually the name of a music show from back in the day that used to feature music artists from all genres that were charting.
Good ol’ 70’s rock and roll
"Black Water" is probably my favorite song of theirs, although they have many great ones!
Grammy Kathi here. The dance to this was "the Bump". We all did it.
Actually the Allman Brothers was founded by brothers Duane and Gregg Allman.
Beginning to think there are no fans of the Allman Brothers here to shut down that comment. As if these two men who formed a band just happened to meet, form a band, resemble each other & then coincidently have the same last name as if it were a common last name like Smith or Johnson. lol. That would be a stretch! RIP Duane & Gregg. Gone but not forgotten!
You guys love to vibe. Black Water from them is amazing!! Great sit on the porch in the springtime feeling good vibe.
TOP POP was a music show on tv in the Netherlands in the seventies. I used to watch it every week when I was young😊
The first time I heard the Doobie Brothers was on a shopping trip in the 70s, when this song was being played as background music in the store. I went up to one of the staff and asked who was the band in the music. They seemed to be a little concerned because I was not asking about things they sold, but went to find out and then told me "the Doobie Brothers". I had never heard of them, but that experience made me then head to the closest record store and but the album that included this track. I have enjoyed their music ever since.
The Doobie Brothers earlier works is considered blues/ rock with a country influence. They're later era, with Michael McDonald fronting the band is more pop/adult contemporary. Personally, I prefer the earlier music however Michael McDonald's voice is very soulful. Unfortunately, that steered the band in a different direction, that wasn't as original, IMO.
Try Long Train Running, Blackwater, China Grove and Jesus Is Just Alright With Me!
Agreed. I saw the Doobie Brothers back in 1978, I think, after MM joined. Frankly, I preferred the opening act, Ambrosia. Man, they put on a great show.
Michael only fronted them because Tom got extremely ill. As in they thought he wasn't going to survive. He did and came back and they actually Toured with Both of them. Now that is a concert I wish I could have seen.
@@SGTJDerek I did not know that. Interesting.
This album had a picture of a roach on the album slip cover. Doobie was a joint back then. Ugh im getting old.
Coincidentally, this was the first song I ever danced to with a girl. I was twelve, and going to a sleepover camp for the time. At the end of each eeek, on the Saturday night, they would have a cookout and a dance, where they played records. This was the song that got me and the girl I liked into the dance floor.
Even now, whenever I hear this song, it takes me back to that moment.
BTW, I put the Doobies into Southern Rock, but at the time the critics dubbed it the “LA sound.”
“South City Midnight Lady” & “Another spark, Another Sunday” are two of my fave Doobie Bros. songs.
The Doobs rock then and now and forever.
70's overall best decade for music across ALL genres!
It’s good as they were on vinyl, they were better in person! Saw them twice in the 70s exceptional group like many others of their time
At the time we called it Rock n Roll. It's still Rock n Roll to me. Wink!
Hey Rob Squad Reactions...we LOVE ya'! And you just heard one of the BEST, if not THE BEST Rock song ever recorded. Keep up the great work Jay and Amber!
Doobie Brothers were radio staples in my era..played all the time..dozens of songs and its rock and roll - because rock is soul, blues, southern rock, metal, hard rock, grunge style..baby its all rock..and roll!!
We were all “Doobie brothers “ . Enjoyed them at more than one outdoor concert over the years . Awesome music , in the open air .
"We have a lot more in common than we think we have in common," with music! Agree Amber! More authentic then, as you mentioned, not staged with makeup, hair and wardrobe people telling the musicians how to look. Also that the 1960s and 1970s music brought people together because they were singing about Love, Coming Together, Dancing, singing, Enjoying Each Other and Life. Another thing that really helped us feel closer in the 1960s and '70s is that we had the radio stations that we all listened to, no CDS, sirius, internet, etc. In those days, you could call in to the live disc jockey (dj) and request a song. What a wonderful time to be a teenager and early 20s!
2 lead singers, 3 guitarists and 2 drummers and right along with The EAGLES, the best harmonies in the business!!!! Oh yeah, they have a catalog of hits that you wouldn't believe!!
One of the best concerts I have ever seen. So much energy and the brilliance of their music was just palpable.
So glad y’all are discovering them for the first time.
And the Doobie Brothers genre is usually seen as southern fried rock, rock/pop rock.
