Those singers would fall flat without that talented band behind them. It's not just the music, not just the lyrics,it's when you put them together and how smoothly they blend together that makes them so iconic
My favorite thing about this song is how it builds with each verse, starting off super pared-down with just one low-key voice and a single guitar with a little percussion. By the end, everyone is just wailing and jamming!!! So cool!
I remeber when this came out. Love just about everthing by them. They were the top band for 5 years in a row beating out the Beatles. If you get the chance give "Eli's Coming" a listen the live version. Their vocals will blow you away.
It was composed by Hoyt Axton- an actor and musician. he was from Oklahoma. He was touring w/ 3 DN at the time. He also wrote, "Joy to the world", also done by 3 DN. :P
“Joy to the World.” Yes, it did bring a lot of joy! I was eight when it came out and it was such a fun song for kids to sing. Both songs are great from start to finish.
This is another great song from Hoyt Axton, and it's a great cover by Three Dog Night. For me it says that wherever you are is a good place to be, and so are the places you've never been. Life is an adventure to look forward to.
I was raised in NEEDLES CA. where 120+ temps in summer cause travelers to over heat and Vegas is 120 miles away.. hence they broke down in little town of Needles on their way to Vegas... and this song was very popular in our stage band in the 70's lol
Three Dog Night is an American-Irish rock band from the 60's-70's. This band had a lot of energy. They had 3 guys with great voices that could all sing lead vocals. Hope you check out some more of their music. Some other great songs are "One", "Just An Old fashioned Love Song", Eli's Coming", Shambala", "Mama Told Me Not To Come", "Joy To The World", Try A Little Tenderness", "Easy To Be Hard", "The Show Must Go On" etc.
Per Wikipedia the lyrics consist of the narrator ruminating about overseas locales that he has never visited, but about which he feels he has some proxy experience, primarily via the music but also due to other presumed highlights found there. He loosely compares his own actual travels to these more worldly spots. In the final verse, he observes that while he has "never been to heaven", he has "been to Oklahoma", where he was told he was born, thus implying a kinship between the two places. Hoyt Axton, who was born in Oklahoma, explained that he originally wrote, "...in Oklahoma, born in a coma...." However, it was considered inappropriate; thus, the lyrics were changed to "not Arizona".
Wife here..These guys were HUGE back in the day.. This is my FAVORITE Three Dog Night song..!!! ..Ms.Asia.., you NAILED the meaning of this.."Heaven on Earth"..Very well stated BJ..Thank you for the insightful and intelligent insight into this song!!!
That reminds me of John Denver’s “Country Roads.” I lived in Virginia for about twenty five years and when he sang “Almost heaven, West Virginia” I would think, “Yeah, because you’re almost to Virginia.” 😁
I always thought a “three dog night” meant it was an extra cold night, hence sleeping with three dogs to stay warm. This group is ridiculously talented!
This song has always resonated with me because my father was born and grew up in Oklahoma. I'm from Chicago (my father came here in his early twenties) but we used to go there every year on vacation to stay with my aunt and uncle from the time I was a baby until I turned 18. I have fond memories of that time. I agree you need to do "Eli's Coming" and I also love "An Old Fashioned Love Song".
I remember when this one came out. I was in grammar school and was an instant favorite of mine! I liked it so much. I loved the lyrics, but never gave any real thought to their meaning, to this day up until now. I think you two are spot on. Thanks for doing the brain work for me. 😊
I was a roadie back in the day and loved working with these guys. Cory Wells was a huge loss. I always felt he was saying just because haven't been to a certain place doesn't mean that you can't appreciate the culture anyway. If your observant you can enjoy talent and beauty from a place even if you haven't gotten to witness it firsthand.
Elvis did a killer live version of this song. He didn't have as many hits in the 70s but he took songs like this, 'My Way' (written for Frank Sinatra) and others and made them his own live. And the mother of the guy who wrote this song (Hoyt Axton, who really was born in OK) wrote 'Heartbreak Hotel' for Elvis in the 50s. Circle of music life lol.
Between 1969-1974 no group had more top 10 hits, Sold more Albums, also Sold More Concert tickets than Three Dog Night! Much Love from Oregon, Chuy ☮️🫶🏼🤙🏽👍🏽😎🎼🎸🎤
I always loved the song. Born in OK..Been to England, love the Beatles..When my dad and stepmother moved to Spain..so finally I went there...Las Islas Canarias..las mujeres son bonitas. That's my anthem!
One of my favs! You can't go wrong with Three Dog Night! Other folks have mentioned that this was written by Hoyt Axton, who is in the songwriter's hall of fame, but his mother, Mae Axton is also in the hall of fame as well. She wrote a lot of hits in Nashville, including co-writing Elvis's Heartbreak Hotel. Also, I think the Hard Rock Casino in Tulsa has the "I've never been to heaven but I've been to Oklahoma" lyrics still above one of the main doors in the lobby.
This song was written by country star Hoyt Axton. He also wrote their number one song Joy to the World, the NoNo song for Ringo Star, and tunes for Steppinwolf, Elvis Presley, and more...
One of the greatest groups for about 8 years. 3 great singers, songwriters, band members, the whole ball of wax. Cory Welles lead killed the cover of Try a Little Tenderness by Otis Redding. Worth checking out.
Money cant by you REAL Happy ness ; My Youth in the 70s did , My family was close, I lived in Kodiak Alaska By a very pretty lake,I Fished rain bow trout and Doly vardoin often ,The seafood was OUT STANDING. My mom was a loving mom and great cook .God blessed me so good. . The70s were packed with FANTASTIC Music like this . And so many great bands came out in the 70s, Just a great decade ..
I love Three Dog Night, ever since I was in Grade School, and I love this song, but you really need to hear Elvis's live performance of it in 1972. It's magnificent!!
Next up ‘Eli’s Coming’ Got to see three dog night twice in the early 70s, and they were a hot group at a time and did some great songs this is just one of them
Asia & BJ, You guys got to react to Eli's Coming(Live), Shambala(studio version) and One Man Band(studio version)......Three Dog Night like the Beatles were Extremely popular with as many Hit in the 70's as The Beatles!!!! Everyone LOVES Three Dog Night!!! Enjoy the Journey!!!
Born in Baer county, San Antonio. We moved to Anchorage Alaska when I was 9 months old. I can relate to the song. Both coast but in Omaha 43 years. You 2 always make me smile when you react to music I've known all my life. Keep it up!
3 Dog Nite is good rabbit hole. Great music from them in late 60's and through the 70's: Celebrate, Out in the Country, Just another love song, Mama told me not to come (kind of a whimsical tune). Great harmonies-3 part harmony is what they were known for.
Saw them live in 1978, again in 1991, both times AWESOME! this is the music reminds me of my highschool years, so many great memories, and even after all this time, this music is STILL Great. My children and NOW my grandchildren LOVE this music. I love how ya'll get into all kinds of music.!
Cory Welles took the lead on this, great singer! What made this group even better was 3 great singers. Cory, Chuck Negron and Danny Hutton. Many great songs,! Very successful late 60s to mud 70s. Cory did a phenomenal job covering Try a little Tenderness by Otis Redding. One of my favorite groups ever
Yea with this old stuff it's more about how talented them bands were and how awesome they sound vocaly and musicaly. It truly was a golden time to be in. Wish everyone could have been there
Went to see these guys twice in concert. They were outstanding live. Don't overthink the song. Just enjoy a great song that will always put a smile on your face.
Great song by Three Dog Night. Now for more travel on a more dangerous level. Glenn Frey will learn you the meaning of the SMUGGLERS BLUES. This single was made into an episode of Miami Vice during its first season andce exploded in popularity. The same episode was repeated several times and introduced Michael Mann to an audience made for modern tomes in the 198o's. But the video is self-explanatory. Wrapped around a great song watch and learn the lesson of the perilous world of the SMUGGLERS BLUES.
Exactly "What does it matter" like the lead singer said. There's also a lot of sarcasm here. see Oklahoma or Arizona. I get your postcard reference. I have travelled around the country a bit. I did send postcards back home and saved them. Three Dog Night always a great choice. Have you sampled "Try A Little Tenderness"? They do a great version of Otis classic
Yes! I am from Texas , an this has been on my road trip playlist for many years. Its great diving across the High Plains at sun rise with this playing.
3 Dog Night has so many great songs. A word of advice. Listen to their studio versions instead of live versions. They tend to get silly live & you'll miss the lyrics & how great the songs really are. " Try A Little Tenderness", "One", "Eli's Comin'". Many, many to choose from! They were my 1st concert. I was so bummed cuz they were sick, stoned, & goofing around. But I loved them anyways. As a teenager, I was in love with Chuck Negron, the one with the great long hair & great mustache.
Hi Asia & BJ, Three Dog Night always bring some soulful harmonies to the table & they never disappoint, so please keep on reacting to them!!! I'm here for it!!!
Like a ton of great musicians, Hoyt Axton, who wrote the song, was born in Oklahoma. Being a Texan but spent lots of time for business in OK, It's a pretty great place, for the most part. Kinda like Texas with a short winter, as opposed to 10 days of cold weather.
As to how they got their name; Aboriginal Australians, in the Australian Outback, explained that on cold nights they would customarily sleep while embracing a dingo, a native species of wild dog. On colder nights they would sleep with two dogs and, if the night were freezing, it was a "three dog night". They are from the U.S......the west coast, I think.
We would listen to Three Dog Night while playing cards at my best friend's (RIP) house and this is one of the songs we stopped and sang along to. It helped that we had tea spiked with Spearmint Schnapps and got loose. LOL
Three Dog Night was one of the biggest groups of the 70s. They had so many Number 1 songs... and it wasn't the content it was the Vocals. They had 3 very very talented Lead Singers. Their music was all about the vocals, harmonies, bluesy soul sound. They have quite a few LIVE performance videos on YT that you should check out. Their performances are EPIC. They were true performers and singers. Shambala, Eli's Coming, lots of good songs. They are from California.
Elvis Presley covered this song live. Great performance. These guys were the original recording artists. Elvis blew it out of the park with his take on it. Check it out when you can. Great reaction. Take care.
Yes, Eli's Coming, definitely. However, best to stick to the studio version with this one. Another reactor couple did this song not too long ago, and they're in Oklahoma. Watching their faces when that line was sung was priceless.
You should do some reactions to the writer of this song,and jarahamia was a bull frog and many more. Hoyt Wayne Axton Axtons mom also wrote for Elvis Presley.✌️❤️🙏🙏
How about a reaction to the great Tony Bennet on his 96th Birthday. Try "I wanna be around" or "Who can I turn too" or"I left my heart in San Francisco" Happy Birthday Mr. Bennet. No duets please, just Tony
I was able see these guys in person and they were just so smooth and creative back in the day... good to see the younger peeps enjoying the music when music was an event!
Anything TDN! Grew up listening to them. Met Chuck Negron about 6 years ago on a 70's themed cruise. Such a great band! Definitely check out Eli's Coming. One of their best!
Deffo road tripper song. I agree with Oklahoma being like heaven because that's my home. B.J. is right, wherever you were born and raised is your slice of heaven. The place you long for if gone for too long. Great vid brother and sister. Rock on.
Three dog night one of the best bands of their time! You want to hear something beautiful from them listen to Pieces of April! You will put it on your play list I promise...
Asia & BJ, you'll love their "Shambala", "Eli's Comin' " and "One"!!!! They were a hit machine in the 70s!!
You basically had three lead singers in this group. The harmonies are otherworldly. So good!
Those singers would fall flat without that talented band behind them. It's not just the music, not just the lyrics,it's when you put them together and how smoothly they blend together that makes them so iconic
@@TonyM1961 Absolutely.
Absolutely Agree! Should be in the Rock and Roll H.O.F.!
My favorite thing about this song is how it builds with each verse, starting off super pared-down with just one low-key voice and a single guitar with a little percussion. By the end, everyone is just wailing and jamming!!! So cool!
Man oh man, takes me back to being a teenager in the 70’s with an illegal smile vibing to this song 😎
Brings me back too.
@Jeff Flaherty yes sir, John Prine is a rabbit hole worthy of going down😎
I remeber when this came out. Love just about everthing by them. They were the top band for 5 years in a row beating out the Beatles. If you get the chance give "Eli's Coming" a listen the live version. Their vocals will blow you away.

“Joy to the World.” Yes, it did bring a lot of joy! I was eight when it came out and it was such a fun song for kids to sing. Both songs are great from start to finish.
@@terri2494 I was about that age, too. 1970. The LP, "Naturally". It was one of the 1st LPs I ever owned(thanks to a brother). Awesome stuff!
I never knew that.....so cool.
He also caused havoc in a small town bringing in a gremlin! 🤣
@@jonathanmoon86 Right! Love that movie. 🤣
This is another great song from Hoyt Axton, and it's a great cover by Three Dog Night. For me it says that wherever you are is a good place to be, and so are the places you've never been. Life is an adventure to look forward to.
Hoyt Axton ,the songwriter is from Oklahoma ..He wrote ''Joy To The World''' also that they made famous as well ...
Just arrived, saw the seven songs you've posted. Clicked on this so damn fast. Three Dog Night were great, badass talent. That harmony for one thing!
To me, thins song is about enjoying where you're at and living in the moment.
woooow to the point FANTASTIC
Yeah, it’s kinda like CSN “Love the One You’re With”
I think you hit the nail on the head! The past is just that, the past. And the future has not arrived yet. So all you have is TODAY!
I love this song! It's my favorite by Three Dog Night. Fantastic song!!
I was raised in NEEDLES CA. where 120+ temps in summer
cause travelers to over heat and Vegas is 120 miles away..
hence they broke down in little town of Needles on their way to Vegas...
and this song was very popular in our stage band in the 70's lol
Yeah... got a flat tire in Needles... but on the way HOME from Vegas and broke!
@@lyriasfaves but have you ever been to Spain LOL
Nope, never been to Spain!

When I was 11 my best friend had only this 45! We played it over & over! Thanks for the memories!❤
Glad you enjoyed it!

This group is ridiculously talented!
So true, and so often overlooked and undervalued! Their music is really awesome and VERY real!
“Eli’s Coming”, live 1975 please.❤️ (Their BBC 1972 concert is also great.)
Yes yes yes, so good!
This song has always resonated with me because my father was born and grew up in Oklahoma.

Been looking for this comment! Elvis version of this song is my fav.. He kills it and made it his own
@@chanellegale914 Yes! He really did. This and 'My Way'. I like Sinatra but Elvis' version is far superior and more heartfelt.
Don't analyze the lyrics, just listen to the vocals. Talk about heaven on earth!
Volume ends up on 10 every time...
This is one of those songs you wish would never end.
Guaranteed just turn it up!!! Many great songs by 3 Dog Night... This is the best!!!
Between 1969-1974 no group had more top 10 hits, Sold more Albums, also Sold More Concert tickets than Three Dog Night! Much Love from Oregon, Chuy ☮️🫶🏼🤙🏽👍🏽😎🎼🎸🎤
I always loved the song. Born in OK..Been to England, love the Beatles..When my dad and stepmother moved to Spain..so finally I went there...Las Islas Canarias..las mujeres son bonitas. That's my anthem!

This is definitely one of my favorite Three Dog Nights songs, this makes me want to get a list of all of their hits and play them again
I would pass a BILLION DOLLARS EASY to be able to go back to 1970 And be a 70s Brat AGAIN

I love Three Dog Night, ever since I was in Grade School, and I love this song, but you really need to hear Elvis's live performance of it in 1972. It's magnificent!!
Elvis did the best cover of this song! It's my fav version honestly he absolutely killed it 🔥 Have it on repeat
Never been to England but I kind of like the Beatles me too!
Next up
‘Eli’s Coming’
Got to see three dog night twice in the early 70s, and they were a hot group at a time and did some great songs this is just one of them

Love it beautiful people listening to beautiful music 😎
Mama told me , Eli's Coming , Good Feeling 1957 , The Show Must Go On ,,,, THREE DOG NIGHT has a bunch of cool tunes !!!!!
Good Song with Great Harmonies. The Song was written by Hoyt Axton, a very famous Songwriter in his day.
Hoyt Axton wrote this song and another song covered by Three Dog Night to great success....Joy to the World.
Still have my lp. Naturally and Suitable also. Legend albums. Don't know where they toured back then. Could have went all over the world, easily.
3 Dog Nite is good rabbit hole. Great music from them in late 60's and through the 70's: Celebrate, Out in the Country, Just another love song, Mama told me not to come (kind of a whimsical tune). Great harmonies-3 part harmony is what they were known for.
Asia and Bj Elvis Presley sang this also very unique. Brian from Texas
I saw Three Dog Night about 30 years ago when I was a youngster. Only onew 3 songs, but heard all the greats! Now I appreciate all the songs!
Saw them live in 1978, again in 1991, both times AWESOME! this is the music reminds me of my highschool years, so many great memories, and even after all this time, this music is STILL Great. My children and NOW my grandchildren LOVE this music. I love how ya'll get into all kinds of music.!
High times in the 70's! We had the best music!
Cory Welles took the lead on this, great singer! What made this group even better was 3 great singers. Cory, Chuck Negron and Danny Hutton. Many great songs,! Very successful late 60s to mud 70s. Cory did a phenomenal job covering Try a little Tenderness by Otis Redding. One of my favorite groups ever
Just an all out harmony driven vocal onslaught to finish. Forgot how many strong vocals they had including background singers - whoa!
Yea with this old stuff it's more about how talented them bands were and how awesome they sound vocaly and musicaly. It truly was a golden time to be in. Wish everyone could have been there
I just love how the dynamics just keep building as the song goes on. If you look it up on Wikipedia, you pretty much got the meaning.
Went to see these guys twice in concert. They were outstanding live. Don't overthink the song. Just enjoy a great song that will always put a smile on your face.
Truly one of the coolest songs ever written.
Elvis did a great cover of this classic. Love this version as well. Written by the great Hoyt Axton. Great review. Peace!
Great song by Three Dog Night.
Now for more travel on a more dangerous level. Glenn Frey will learn you the meaning of the SMUGGLERS BLUES. This single was made into an episode of Miami Vice during its first season andce exploded in popularity. The same episode was repeated several times and introduced Michael Mann to an audience made for modern tomes in the 198o's. But the video is self-explanatory. Wrapped around a great song watch and learn the lesson of the perilous world of the SMUGGLERS BLUES.
Exactly "What does it matter" like the lead singer said. There's also a lot of sarcasm here. see Oklahoma or Arizona. I get your postcard reference. I have travelled around the country a bit. I did send postcards back home and saved them. Three Dog Night always a great choice. Have you sampled "Try A Little Tenderness"? They do a great version of Otis classic
Yes! I am from Texas , an this has been on my road trip playlist for many years. Its great diving across the High Plains at sun rise with this playing.
Thanks for sharing!
3 Dog Night has so many great songs. A word of advice. Listen to their studio versions instead of live versions. They tend to get silly live & you'll miss the lyrics & how great the songs really are. " Try A Little Tenderness", "One", "Eli's Comin'". Many, many to choose from! They were my 1st concert. I was so bummed cuz they were sick, stoned, & goofing around. But I loved them anyways. As a teenager, I was in love with Chuck Negron, the one with the great long hair & great mustache.
Great band! The song was written by Hoyt Axton, you should definitely check out more 3 Dog Night songs and some Hoyt Axton songs as well.
Hi Asia & BJ, Three Dog Night always bring some soulful harmonies to the table & they never disappoint, so please keep on reacting to them!!! I'm here for it!!!
Like a ton of great musicians, Hoyt Axton, who wrote the song, was born in Oklahoma. Being a Texan but spent lots of time for business in OK, It's a pretty great place, for the most part. Kinda like Texas with a short winter, as opposed to 10 days of cold weather.

We would listen to Three Dog Night while playing cards at my best friend's (RIP) house and this is one of the songs we stopped and sang along to. It helped that we had tea spiked with Spearmint Schnapps and got loose. LOL
This was written by Hoyt Axton. He had a way with words, to make a big understatement. He wrote The No-No Song that Ringo Starr made famous. Peace.
He also wrote Joy to the World, also made famous by Three Dog Night.
Three Dog Night was one of the biggest groups of the 70s. They had so many Number 1 songs... and it wasn't the content it was the Vocals. They had 3 very very talented Lead Singers.

They were true performers and singers. Shambala, Eli's Coming, lots of good songs. They are from California.
They had a couple big hits with Hoyt Axton songs. Hoyt Axton's mother wrote Heartbreak Hotel, iconic Elvis tune
One of the best bands ever !!! IMO !!!! 3 Lead Singers in the Band.
Elvis Presley covered this song live. Great performance. These guys were the original recording artists. Elvis blew it out of the park with his take on it. Check it out when you can.
Great reaction. Take care.
Hi guys!! Elvis performs this live. I've only heard the audio version, (🔥🔥🔥 of course), idk if there is actual video of it tho. ☹
Yes there is video of it, live in 1972. A great version. My favorite.
Love Three Dog Night! Great music my dad listened to when I was a kid🤗✌️
Elvis did a cover of this and it was awesome.
The Hard Rock in Tulsa has the words "I've never been to Heaven, but I've been to Oklahoma" on the ceiling of the entryway.
I love everything they do. Great band.
These guys are professionals,they knew how to put music together a different kind style. But Terrific!!!! First dance to this in the 5th grade
I seen them in 1979. And Elvis does this also. Stay well and groovy my friends. TX
Yes, Eli's Coming, definitely. However, best to stick to the studio version with this one. Another reactor couple did this song not too long ago, and they're in Oklahoma. Watching their faces when that line was sung was priceless.
You should do some reactions to the writer of this song,and jarahamia was a bull frog and many more. Hoyt Wayne Axton Axtons mom also wrote for Elvis Presley.✌️❤️🙏🙏
Another great song as usual from a special time in music. Asia and Bj are awesome. God Bless.
Eli's Coming written by the great Laura Nyro RIP is a must listen from TDN. Another of my favorites is Out In The Country.
Have always loved this vibe good memories 👵❤️🙏🎶
Ooohhhhh....❤❤❤❤ the background singers..... I miss it so much!!
How about a reaction to the great Tony Bennet on his 96th Birthday. Try "I wanna be around" or "Who can I turn too" or"I left my heart in San Francisco" Happy Birthday Mr. Bennet. No duets please, just Tony
I saw Three Dog Night 4 years ago.at a smaller venue in Canton, Ohio. They still got it
It is so much fun watching you relative youngsters discovering the incredible music of my youth.
One of my FAVORITE songs ever!!!
I was able see these guys in person and they were just so smooth and creative back in the day... good to see the younger peeps enjoying the music when music was an event!
Song was written by Hoyt Axton. He was born in Oklahoma. He was the father in the movie "Gremlins"
Lead singer Cory Welles knocked it out of the park did the same covering Try a Little Tenderness by Otis Redding. Magnificent performance.
Jeremiah was a bull frog is a fun song of theirs.
Thank you love this song. You all do a great job. Thanks again from Maryland
Anything TDN! Grew up listening to them. Met Chuck Negron about 6 years ago on a 70's themed cruise. Such a great band! Definitely check out Eli's Coming. One of their best!
Always one of my favorite songs
I love Three Dog Night.
Pieces of April is a good Three Dog Night song
My favorite song from this great group ❤️
Deffo road tripper song. I agree with Oklahoma being like heaven because that's my home. B.J. is right, wherever you were born and raised is your slice of heaven. The place you long for if gone for too long. Great vid brother and sister. Rock on.
A Hoyt Axton song. The Dad in the movie Gremlins!
Love Three Dog Night, huge in the '70s.
Three dog night one of the best bands of their time! You want to hear something beautiful from them listen to Pieces of April! You will put it on your play list I promise...
