As great and legendary as this classic song has been, let's not forget another Michael McDonald classic hit - which I still adore to this day: "Sweet Freedom", from the soundtrack "Running Scared" in 1986. It's the one that goes "Shine sweet freedom, shine your light on me!"
A legendary performance. I remember being 16 when it aired. I also remember dad and I watched it and how impressed we were by it. I became a big fan. He nailed it. You can tell Michael was quite proud of himself and the band. He should have been.
Greatest blue-eyed soul master of all time! Astoundingly ridiculous song writer-lyricist to boot. Incredible, soulful piano chops, harmonic knowledge & creativity TOO? How gifted can one human be?
Hi, Michael. I've been your fan for a long time. whenever I hear you singing makes me want to dance. Your music makes me feel happy and 17 years old again ..kisses from Brasil!🇧🇷
Such an awesome song, and Michael, your voice is beautiful and timeless (you're one of my favorite singers of all time). I love to watch/listen to live versions and this one is great, but could you please post a better quality version of this video? They're out there. :) And post more videos, please!
I've a;was LOVED this song. And Michael McDonald!! Loved him from day one. Not sure if this is just his channel OR if he is actually maintaining it, either way I just want to say that I remember when we BOTH had dark hair (well, mine was always red, but it's now red with help!)!! ;)
Is that Robben Ford on guitar?! This looks like his "No Lookin Back" era...saw him opening for Toto during this time. At the Universal Amphitheater in L.A. One of the greatest shows - by Mike and Toto - I have ever seen. And I've seen a lot. Mike - you remain, The Man (in a good way).
I like this Style Mr. McDonald Michael!! Search for your true Lovesoulmate. You are a Man. Nobody is a Fool. Be selfconfident. Pray for you and your true Lovesoulmate.
If by some miracle there were a guitar that sounded as cool as Michael McDonald's voice, it would be more popular than the Les Paul and Stratocaster combined!
You're number one on the worst grammer ever list. However, if you have no understanding of punctuations, it's best to just omit them altogether. Good idea. People might not think you're almost illiterate. Nobody will realize it because you throw periods in a row and randomly double space between words when you think something goes there. Readers will probably think Samual Clemins is using another pen name.

Great case put forward
you never see a band that good on TV anymore.

I really appreciate the bass player. He's having a blast.
Such a wonderful singer! This song brings me amazing memories of my teenage years. Thanks a million for your incredible art! ❤

Is the recording sped up or did the band play it faster than usual?
❤
eres mi idolo chubaka......perdon , michael !
Wow!
So many keytars. Bobby Martin on Sax too!
Brasil Rio de Janeiro!

The guitar-parts are always an issue when Michael performes live.
Especially the solo's.
Why is that?
Check it out.😎
The MUST !!!!
♥️♥️👍♥️👍
ギターソロかっこよい・・・
12/18/1985 here
How dare they cut off the beginning of the video tape of someone's Christmas.
If those drums were alive at the beginning they certainly weren’t by the end. Beaten to death. 😢
It's too bad, but love can, be a One -Way Street. And it will dang well eat you alive. Because, SHE really never did think twice..about ya !!!
Is that Robben Ford on guitar?
Is that GE Smith
See two keytars. Guess they didn't use their Prophet 5 because it overheated.
Mcdonald is such a hunk.
Who's the bassist? I've researched the hell out of all the bassists who played with him and I can't figure it out.
George Hawkins Jr
Looks like young robben ford on gtr
I can't tell the difference between Michael McDonald and Michael Buble
who is on guitar solo?
Thomas Cox I believe its Robben Ford
Mike Anderson I saw the Dumbles and was like who the hell has stereo Dumbles as a sideman? Your answer was a big DUH. Didn’t recognize him.
What seems to be is always better than nothing, nothing at all... deep
Fast tempo version
I want to do 2 thumbs up like Democrats like to vote
Not bad for a white guy....right?
Will Sasso was better!
you are # 1 on of my worst musicians ever catagory

Jealous
the doobie brothers must have been pretty DESPARATE....financially.....to take you on
They could have picked you instead, but then they wouldve failed on the spot
You are an idiot.
There's no Doobies there!!
