The Doobies are incredibly diverse. You will hear everything from classic rock, folk, motown, bluegrass, country, pop, R&B, yacht rock. These guys do it all
The band didn't expect Black Water to be a hit,but it was played on a radio station and requests began pouring in for it to be played more,next thing they knew it shot up to number one.
Some back history on this song- The Doobies' were kind of amazed and surprised at all the support they were getting from their fans in the deep south. They wrote this piece as a tribute to them.
tHE dOOBIE bROTHERS ARE HONORARY Southerners along with john Fogerty. They are more in tune with the South than most home grown Southerners! Try my list below that doesn't inlcude that same old 4 songs we always get stuck with.
Give a listen to - What A Fool Believes - China Groove - Takin' It To The Streets - Jesus is Just Alright - Listen To The Music just to name a few. Dig it! Good stuff.
True story: in bootcamp I went over two months without music. One day in mess hall, they put the radio on and "China Grove" was on. To this day, I've never heard a Rock song reach me so deeply and sound so good. I just got goosebumps from the memory! True Story never finished my chow! 🙂🎸
@@ginnywhat5777 And i'll bet you guys have never heard the BEST Doobie songs. you propbably play the same ole 3 or4 songs and forget all about the treasure trove of Doobie graeats an arms length away.
LOVE THIS SONG Just a perfect mellow song to hear on the radio on a nice sunny day when you have nowhere to go. Your in no hurry and just feel like driving and singing. It just makes you happy😊
So happy to here's some classic rock! I know keep asking, Melissa Etheridge I'm the only one official video! You will need to hold on to your socks when you listen to that one. LOL !!!!!!
Been listening to this since I was 12-13. Now I am 60 and it still grooves quite well. Long Train Runnin is another cool Doobie tune. Puff them Doobies and enjoy the music.
Amber, I love it when you are delighted by a song, or even just one little part. When your lovely bright smile breaks open it just lights up my soul. Love you guys. Have a blessed day!
I was 12 years old living in Germany as a U.S. Army brat when this song came out. My buddies and I knew this song word for word and would sing it loud and proud whenever it came on Armed Forces Radio. One of my all-time favorite songs.
how many times are yall gonna listen to the same ole 4 songs when there's about 50 more great doobie songs that you obviously have never heard. Try my list below and discover THE DOOBIE BROTHERS in FULL!
This is without Michael McDonald but a fantastic tune. That’s probably why it sounds a little different to you. Like the Eagles, it’s not always the same lead singer.
The Doobs were better WITHOUT Michael McDonald. He took what had been a rock and blues band and turned it into an R&B/pop band. Ok if that's your thing. Not mine.
Well, I liked both incarnations of the Doobies. Michael McDonald joined the Doobies as lead singer when the original lead was ill and had to leave the band for an extended period, not sure but I think it was a couple years. When he recovered he was welcomed back into the band and both he and McDonald lead the band. McDonald began his career as a studio backup singer, you will hear him on a lot of Steely Dan albums.
Now your talking! Love love the Dobbie Brothers. Saw them in Vegas in 2019. They still sound the same. My favorites songs are South City Mid Night Lady & Another Park Another Sunday. Thanks for your reaction.
The highlight of 1977 at VA TECH was seeing Heart and The Doobie Brothers!! Two AMAZING concerts!! Jay - in this type of song, it's a fiddle not a violin.
Saw them live a number of times in the 70's and early 80's. Had backstage passes for one concert and got to meet a number of the members. One of my favorite bands back in the day.
2 stages of the Doobies -- pre-Michael McDonald; this song is a fine example from their early years. When Michael McDonald joined the band as pianist & lead singer, the band's sound changed. "Taking it to the Streets" is their biggest hit with Michael at the helm.
Doobies was my first live concert. I was in 9th grade...China grove was the big hit off the album...saw them 2 yrs later, takin it to the streets tour. I loved that tune when it came out, but now it just falls flat to me.
The Doobie Brothers were one of the bands that defined the 70s! Tons of amazing hits ... performed by brilliant musicians. I have such sweet memories of all their radio songs...
Ran into Pat Simmons in an antique store in Saratoga, CA a million years ago. He was looking at a Tiffany (yes, a real Tiffany) lamp. I was so star struck I just stared at him! Didn't say a word, just stared!
Pat Simmons is the “glue” that holds the Doobie Brothers together, appearing on every Doobie Brothers album. Doesn’t matter who’s the leader of the band….Tom Johnston or Michael McDonald.
The harmony part was sung/yelled at every high school keg party I ever went to. It was a practically requirement in those days. I was in high school in Virginia Beach during the 80’s. 😁 I still love the Doobie Bros ❤️
Right on✊🏾✌🏾👍🏾 The 70s is and always be my decade. To dance 🕺🏾, skating 🛼, chill and go crusing and more. No matter what, it has that special place and efforts to keep me alive and living. I am very certain everyone truly feels the sametime too
The Doobie Brothers are still around and doing well. This song was released in 1974. I love watching you guys discover new music/performers. Thanks for your videos. Be blessed.
The Marshall Tucker Band is closer in style. The Allman Bros were more trad bluesy than the Doobie Bros...but both bands had two drummers/percussionists!
Since I’m in the Bay Area I’ve seen them MANY Times!! I remember being in a choral group and singing this right before we hit the stage in HS. Love them!!! 💖💞💗
You were at NIU, and I was a sr. in h.s. A bunch of us who were in choir used to sing this endlessly (especially the parts at the end) while we painted a mural in the student lounge. I ended up at Western Illinois the following fall, so we were *neighbors*.
EXACTLY what I wanted to say. I can't remember what movie or tv show I first heard that quote, but yep. The fiddle is a different instrument all together!
According to a violin player I know, the technical difference between a violin and a fiddle is that there is a higher, somewhat more rounded arc on a violin's bridge (the doohickey that holds the strings up away from the body of the instrument) than on a fiddle's, which has a much flatter curve. The flatter curve makes it easier for the fiddle player to play double stops (which means, to play two strings at once with the same stroke of the bow).
I love seeing your reactions to most of the music I grew up on. Your reactions take me back to when I first heard it and wondrous magic it created for me. Thank you!
I bought this album for this song in particular. The strings, fiddle or violin, it doesn't matter I love it. And the song is just good for listening or dancing the two step. Good one thanks.
@@juliewhite7469 yes. I love watching ppl do the two step. I'm not that good but I love it. I'm originally from Philly & it's hard to find a partner. My mom taught me. ❤️❤️🥰
The Doobies have a wide range of sound..I personally love the early Doobies before Michael Mcdonald. My sons were blown away once when this came on, and me, my sisters and our husbands all stopped what we were doing and sang the whole song.. and we automatically fell into different parts when they hit the ending😄😄. They still say we had to have practiced! We also do a pretty good Seven Bridges Road by the Eagles😆. Great memories, guys.
What he did was double tracked his vocals. Something we used to do in the studio. You record the lead vocals on one track and then do the same lead vocals on another track. It gives it a really neat unique sound.
That is a swampy southern rock/ delta blues tune With the healthy dose of New Orleans Dixieland Jazz and Bluegrass. just a blend of great American music from the south makes this song groove so much. The instruments are the acoustic guitar tuned to double drop D and two guitar tracks, a bass guitar, Viola, an auto harp, wind chimes, drums and percussion. Plus 4 vocalists total contributing to the harmony vocals. Their best track imo.
Love the Doobies. At 55 I feel so fortunate to have grown up in the era of music that I have. Probably the best fifty years of music that there was or ever will be. It's nice to see some of the younger crowd finding all this incredible stuff.
Distribution inside Technologies allowed music to progress with different sounds and instruments. I have as much appreciation for Les Paul as I do for- christofori
My personal favorite is "South City, Midnight Lady." To be honest you can't go wrong with their catalog. The Doobie Brothers have a really solid collection of tunes to choose from.
OMG guys! I get to see them LIVE, FINALLY, in about 3 weeks. I freaking CAN'T WAIT! Keep 'em coming! (One of my faves, btw. The harmonies...I can't help but sing along.)
This is one of my favorite songs from The Doobie Brothers. I believe what you're trying to describe and how it sounds, is an accent. It takes you down to the Louisiana, New Orleans sound. I love it.
Thanks for listening to this! A few years ago, someone I was partying with told me to choose a song to hear. This one popped in my mind, outta nowhere...I couldn't remember the name, or the band, but I sang the refrain, and he used the internet to track down the rest. First time I'd heard it in maybe 35 years, but I remember loving it, when I was a child. It always got me wanting to move!
This song included a technique called a "round", where there are two different parts sung against each other, makes it super interesting. One early morning after the gig was done, years ago in Fairbanks, Alaska, our drummer started this "acapella" at the bar and we had the whole place singing for about a half hour
The Doobies have so much talent it’s just sick! That’s a fiddle son.😂 My daughters first concert as a one year old was the Doobies. She danced until she fell asleep!❤️❤️❤️✌️✌️✌️✌️
I just went to hear the Doobie Brothers who are celebrating their 50th anniversary! They have so many great sounds: Acoustic Country (Listen To The Music, Old Black Water); Rock (China Grove, Long Train Runnin', The Doctor); R&B (Minute By Minute, What A Fool Believes, Real Love) and Gospel Rock (Jesus Is Just All Right, Takin' It To The Streets). Please react to more of this awesome bands' hits!
LOL! Love that shoulder action, Amber! This is one of my favorite Doobie Bros songs. It has a southern rock vibe like Lynard Skynard and “Sweet Home Alabama.”
Doobie Brothers hold a special place in my heart. They came out of San Jose CA. That's where I was born. My two older brothers actually went to High School with the two founding members of the band. Try China Grove or Long Train Running.
This has a little soft bluegrass feel to it. Makes you wish you were on a raft floating a river. THis is one of those songs i always wanted to be a 8 minute or better session. It just ends too soon. There is a live version of this out there as well.
I can`t think of one person that wouldn`t` like the Doobies.
It was an absolute CRIME that the Doobie Brothers didn't get inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame until late last year!! Especially considering how many crappy bands were inducted years before them!
They weren't CRAPPY bands: they were DIVERSE.
No they were chappy bands
I wouldn’t be surprised that induction is tied to donations from bands. How did YES not get inducted into the RRHOF until 2017. RUSH got inducted in 2013.
King Crimson still isn’t inducted.
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee that’s because they don’t understand true musicians. You’ll notice with any prog. Rock band, that the talent is through the roof!
I can think of FIFTY artists I would have put in ahead of the Doobies. But JMO.
The Doobies are incredibly diverse. You will hear everything from classic rock, folk, motown, bluegrass, country, pop, R&B, yacht rock. These guys do it all
It’s a large group with a lot of different influences.
They will always be classic rock to me
Motown? I'd like to know which song can have that scence. Sorry for my english
Exactly why HOF isnt important
The band didn't expect Black Water to be a hit,but it was played on a radio station and requests began pouring in for it to be played more,next thing they knew it shot up to number one.
Some back history on this song- The Doobies' were kind of amazed and surprised at all the support they were getting from their fans in the deep south. They wrote this piece as a tribute to them.

they're from the sf bay area. san jose, to be precise.
Pat wrote this when he was a high schooler. Genius.
My favorite Doobie Brothers song is South City Midnight Lady. So beautiful!
"Blackwater" was the "B" side to "China Grove". Anybody remember what a "B" side was?
when my wife rolls over
When a question like that comes up, it makes me feel really old 😏
@@jimcarlson6157 Oh no you didn’t!! 🤣
I always liked the B sides because they usually weren't as overplayed. That being said, there's no bad Doobie songs.
You always listen to the B side first.
I am a retired Navy personnel. 67 years old. Y'all are doing a great job keep up the good work
Give a listen to - What A Fool Believes - China Groove - Takin' It To The Streets - Jesus is Just Alright - Listen To The Music just to name a few. Dig it! Good stuff.
China Grove, yes
Anything but those Michael MacDonald songs that were so not Doobie Bros.
Amen! Love all those songs! Jesus is just alright! Awesome song!
Anything with Michael McDonald as lead.
Yes Jesus just with me was another you could sing along too
The Doobie Brothers are fantastic! Keep giving their music a fair shake. Try China Grove.
I love China Grove!
True story: in bootcamp I went over two months without music. One day in mess hall, they put the radio on and "China Grove" was on. To this day, I've never heard a Rock song reach me so deeply and sound so good. I just got goosebumps from the memory! True Story never finished my chow! 🙂🎸
Their album " The Captain n Me " has so many good songs on it.
China Grove KICKS ASS Like a PISSED OF DONKEY ON STEROIDS ,,, Love the 70s
@@cesarnarro6013 Great album, that one and Stampede are my favourites.
That is a backyard chill song, plain and simple. And a true classic. 🤙

LOVE THIS SONG Just a perfect mellow song to hear on the radio on a nice sunny day when you have nowhere to go. Your in no hurry and just feel like driving and singing. It just makes you happy😊
I'm still hoping they eventually find their way to John Denver! A true American legend!! May he RIP. 😥
Take Me Home, Country Road is a nice song
Love John Denver
Rocky Mountain High
Country Roads Take Me Home
I agree!
Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
They will. I've been pushing Blood Sweat and Tears.
Love John Denver!
So happy to here's some classic rock!
I know keep asking, Melissa Etheridge I'm the only one official video! You will need to hold on to your socks when you listen to that one. LOL !!!!!!
You can't get anymore Americana than Doobie Brothers! Just total feel good music.
"Evil Woman" is a really good tune from the Doobies.
It's a bluegrass sound. It got some serious radio play back in the day.
"Jesus is Just Alright" is another fantastic song from this iteration of Thr Doobie Brothers. It has a ska beat that will get you moving!
gIVE THOSE OLD TUNES A REST AND DISCOVER THE Great Doobies songs that wren't on the radio! Check my list below!
YES!
They covered it!
J&A, Their "Jesus Is Just Alright", "China Grove" and "Listen To The Music" is next for you!! It's the violin that is different
China grove...most assuredly.
They already did Listen to the Music.
Sitting on the back porch, sippin' some sweet tea, watching the lightning bugs and chillin' to The Doobie Brothers.....HEAVEN!!!
Doobie Brothers and Three Dog Night- two great bands.

Army brat Ludwigsburg 69-72 and DoD CIV employee Frankfurt 80-83. Loved the doobies every time on afn.
@@elee1086 Mannheim at that time for us! We saw Stevie Wonder and Al Jarreau in separate concerts there.

"Long Train Runnin'" is another classic tune from them.
My vote is for China Grove & Takin' It To The Streets next!! You'll love those! Two of my favorites by The Doobie Brothers.
The fiddling in this song is so pure. This song takes me back to my childhood.❤
John Denver, indeed. The purest voice ever instilled in a man. Voice of an angel.

@@jeffjones6221 AGREED!
Doobie brothers with McDonald isn't the Doobie brothers, to me at least. They should have changed the name of the band with Michael McDonald in it.
McDonald walked in, and I walked away.
Doobies was my first live concert. I was in 9th grade...China grove was the big hit off the album...saw them 2 yrs later, takin it to the streets tour. I loved that tune when it came out, but now it just falls flat to me.
This band, through every one of its iterarions, was a bottomless well of talent - never to be repeated again.
This one of my favorites! Now you need to do "Long Train Running." It's great.
South City Midnight Lady and Another Park, Another Sunday are a couple of really good tunes!
Blackwater is my favorite pre Michael McDonald Doobie Brothers song, during the Michael era try "Taking it to the Streets".
The Doobie Brothers were one of the bands that defined the 70s! Tons of amazing hits ... performed by brilliant musicians. I have such sweet memories of all their radio songs...
Pat Simmons finger style guitar makes this song unique.
Yes! Great guitar picking.
Ran into Pat Simmons in an antique store in Saratoga, CA a million years ago. He was looking at a Tiffany (yes, a real Tiffany) lamp. I was so star struck I just stared at him! Didn't say a word, just stared!
Patrick was a fantastic singer, guitarist, and songwriter. Love his work!
Pat Simmons is lead vocal here as well as playing guitar. This is one of my favorites composed and sung by Patrick.
Pat Simmons is the “glue” that holds the Doobie Brothers together, appearing on every Doobie Brothers album. Doesn’t matter who’s the leader of the band….Tom Johnston or Michael McDonald.
The harmony part was sung/yelled at every high school keg party I ever went to. It was a practically requirement in those days. I was in high school in Virginia Beach during the 80’s. 😁 I still love the Doobie Bros ❤️
I say this time and again the 70s gave us some of the greatest groups and solo acts! All kinds of music a great decade
Couldn’t agree more! It was true golden era of music - and I say that as someone who wasn’t born until ‘80.
Right on✊🏾✌🏾👍🏾
The 70s is and always be my decade. To dance 🕺🏾, skating 🛼, chill and go crusing and more. No matter what, it has that special place and efforts to keep me alive and living. I am very certain everyone truly feels the sametime too
The early 70's in particular were the absolute best time for great music. So many great solo artists and bands producing the best music ever!
The Doobie Brothers are still around and doing well. This song was released in 1974. I love watching you guys discover new music/performers.
Thanks for your videos.
Be blessed.
If you want more of that southern sound, revisit The Allman Brothers Band.
Mellisa, Ramblin' Man, and Jessica.
The Marshall Tucker Band is closer in style. The Allman Bros were more trad bluesy than the Doobie Bros...but both bands had two drummers/percussionists!
And Whipping Post 💜
@@jodiemaxwell375 Great song, but hey have done that one already.
@@chriso6719 Thanx!! I'll have to look for it.😊
The Allman Brothers were a blues/jam band. As Duane Allman once said "Calling us southern rock is like calling us rock rock"
This song and others by the Doobie Brothers are my childhood. Their early stuff is awesome. They have a lot of classics.
I've been waiting for this. Told my wife yesterday.
Me too! Their Reactions are so fun to watch. Also the songs bring my mind purpose to stir amazing memories. lol
I will never forget the first time I ever heard this song in the early 70’s. Pure magic.
The Doobies are still touring. And they still sound great. Next, do "Listen to the music"
Why/ you've already heard it 50 times. Try the Doobie songs on m list below. you won't regret it!

This Song is definitely a vibe.
I play it all the time at cook outs.

I remember being in a choral group and singing this right before we hit the stage in HS.
Love them!!! 💖💞💗
Doobie Brothers my very favorite group of all time!!!!!

NIU! Did you know Dr. Robert Rannie?
You were at NIU, and I was a sr. in h.s. A bunch of us who were in choir used to sing this endlessly (especially the parts at the end) while we painted a mural in the student lounge. I ended up at Western Illinois the following fall, so we were *neighbors*.
Hahaha, I can just see it!
It’s the difference in the cadence❤ demonstrates greatness
When you play stuff like this, it's not a violin, it's a fiddle. Violins have strings, fiddles have strangs.

Please react to more of this awesome bands' hits!
Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) has plenty of violin magic: Roll Over Beethoven, Livin' Thing, Sweet Talkin' Woman.
Yes, yes, yes and Mr Blue Sky too. The ultimate happy song according to scientific studies, apparently! Tho’ I also love All Over The World.
Yes! Mr. Blue Sky is such a happy song.
LOL! Love that shoulder action, Amber! This is one of my favorite Doobie Bros songs. It has a southern rock vibe like Lynard Skynard and “Sweet Home Alabama.”
I love this song 🥰
30 plus years later and my wife and I still light up when we hear that song and sing that end part together =)
That’s a fiddle 😉
What is difference between the two? One had beer spilt on it?? 🍺🤠👍✌
I still remember every single word of this song! One of my all-time favorite songs. And that’s a fiddle!
Doobie Brothers hold a special place in my heart. They came out of San Jose CA. That's where I was born. My two older brothers actually went to High School with the two founding members of the band.
Try China Grove or Long Train Running.
Tom Johnson is from Visalia California 10 miles east of me from Hanford and Steve Perry is from here
@@donaldwhite1928 Tom Johnston... :)
@@frandanco6289 sorry yea johnston well a least they both start with john lol
Always use to turn this up on the radio
You need to do Michael McDonald and Patti Labelle On My On. Two outstanding voices
Couldn't agree more!
When Rock goes a bit Country.....i sure do love it.
This has a little soft bluegrass feel to it. Makes you wish you were on a raft floating a river. THis is one of those songs i always wanted to be a 8 minute or better session. It just ends too soon. There is a live version of this out there as well.
I love the Doobies. We all waited to hear Black Water.
Southern Rock. Hearing this again after decades and I feel like I'm a teen again, getting into trouble.
The Doobie Brothers are a California group...nothing southern about them at all. Maybe country rock, but not southern rock.
@@larrywt656 Not Southern Rock but they are from the San Jose, CA area and here in the San Francisco Bay Area we do refer to it as the South Bay. 😀
@@larrywt656 There are many southern rock bands that aren't originally from the south. Where the band originated has nothing to do with it.
Love the Bros, this is one of my favorites of theirs. 😎👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
