These 2 songs were the standards at our Friday high school dances after the football games, there was nothing like rocking out and letting it go. Such great times I sure miss them😊👍
Actually, Bassist Tiran Porter joined on the Toulouse Street album, Drummer Keith Knudsen joined on the Stampede album (he toured on the Vices tour prior). Still a classic lineup.
I just noticed that this video is exactly 7:37, so in addition to it being blessed because it's the Doobie Brothers, it's also blessed, because I really believe that the numbers 3 and 7, are God's favorite numbers. Think about it; everything can be subdivided into three. The three primary colors, three knocks at the door, three sneezes, the Holy Trinity is three, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Plus, good or bad things tend to come in 3's. And seven seems to be a perfect number in God's eyes. I have heard that 7 is a magical number. Maybe even the number of completion?
You are indeed correct! Mr Tiran Porter certainly was very and sadly underrated, however, he is one of the best bass players to ever be in a rock and roll band. He is a class act all the way even after his departure from the duties.
If you need to just feel happy, listen to these songs. And the band still rocks. They're touring this summer, new album coming out. I'll also never understand why Tom Johnston isn't in any conversation of the best front men, lead singers/guitar player from the 70's (and his voice is still incredible.) The most underrated lead singer/song writer from any band.
Nice man, I remember tommy giving an interview recently talking ab his exit which was mostly due to health reasons but he mentioned the doobies changed their sound after he left and wasn't sure where he fit in... this is a classic example of old school version and I def prefer
I was a teenage fan of rock music all through the 1970s, and this lineup of the Brothers was a big part of it. China Grove, Listen To The Music, Long Train Running were 3 of my favorite songs. Then at the age of around 30, I began joining bands around Seattle playing electric bass. I thought I knew who my influences were, but the style I developed had elements that were familiar to me although I was unaware of it's origin. At some point I heard one of these old Doobie Brothers songs and it hit me. It was the Doobs' Tiran Porter. I was laying down lines to original songs that reminded me of his style, and I didn't even know his name at that point. I do now, and I will never forget his name as long as I live.
Second the shout out on their Bass Player. Doobies we’re in the same league as Steely Dan as far as incredible Musicians and Talent. Blessed I grew up in the 60s & 70s. The Bands were real musicians. A great time in America ❤️🇺🇸
I saw them twice, first one Tom Johnson was singing lead and it was incredible, second time Mike Macdonald was singing and i hated the change the band had become. Tom Johnson Rocked!!!
End result is legend. Anyone that experienced these guys in this , their rise to prominence, know there will never be another era like it in the history of popular music. It's like what can we do better than what was put out in the 60's...well, they did it, and all the other great musical acts in this era.
Hilarious- he’s wearing it like a 65-year old mensch in a NY hotel looking for her poodle who escaped in the lobby. Meanwhile the bassist looks like he’s going skiing.
My high school years were from 1974 - 1978. The Doobie Brothers were the sound track to those years. My band (Cultural Revival) played "China Grove", l played rhythm/lead guitar. Though we were a CCR cover band we did some rockers from that time and "CG" was one we did at every gig. 🌎☮️♥️🎼🎶🎵🇺🇸
I played rock in a local band in the mid 70s. This was one of the first tunes our band leader wrote up for us. We enjoyed playing a lot of their music.
Hey, this video is exactly 7:37, and I believe that 3 and 7 are God's favorite numbers, and everything with those numbers together, seems to be blessed. And I notice that Tom Johnston looks like he's lost weight in this video, rather sucked up looking, but he was going through a drug period too, so. It ages people, or they lose weight. He looks different in this one, than the concert they did from two years before in 1972. Tom looked healthy and younger in that one. Thankfully, Tom got the help he needed along the way, and he's still a performer, he looks comfortable, healthy and strong now. ***** Check out their group picture from the early days of Doobies, and see how Tom has the long thick wavy hair, and the adorable boyish look on his face! (No mustache yet). He looked happy and without a care.
Love it that time in the 1970s was it ground zero until 2000 music now it went in a different direction.the band should have let the base player sing a line or two like Simmons did
Ok, here goes..I remember seeing the Doobie Bros. in Frankfurt, Germany in 74-76 in a two night indoor concert with Bad. Co., Tower of Power, Chick Corea, Montrose (Paper Money) and maybe one more band (Santana?) Can't find anything on this...Am I o.k.? Time to check myself in?

TIRAN PORTER IS MY PERSONAL FAVORITE BASS PLAYER IN LIFE
You hear those guitar chords, you KNOW what you are about to hear! One of the all-time great songs performed by the band that made it famous.
The most underrated bass player in Rock & Roll, his groove was always so tastefully done.
And always "rock solid!!!!
Tyran also played guite a bit of guitar on album. Definitely one of my influences on bass early on.
Ty is a great bass player and one of the nicest guys you could ever meet.
Don't know about under-rated🤔 What'd He(identify the player) before & after the DOOBIES? McDonald went solo... GREAT HITS!!! 🎶
Tiran Porter is the best!
Take me back to 1974…ASAP!!! Those were the days 🤙🏼
Couldn’t have said it any better 🎸
One of the great bands of the 70s.
and beyond!
Sure wish there was some of this in the world today
One of the greatest songs ever from any band other than the Doobie Brothers
These songs never get old
Over the years, I’ve seen The Doobies 24 times in every personal configuration they had. Loved them all! I still have a pick that Pat Simmons gave me.
I've been listening since 72 also use to get in trouble for going to sleep with the radio on
These 2 songs were the standards at our Friday high school dances after the football games, there was nothing like rocking out and letting it go. Such great times I sure miss them😊👍
The Doobie's and the 70's will never be repeated.
one of those 70s bands that can fill a full concert play list with nothing but hits......
That’s music. Simple grooving music. I love it. Been listening since 1972.
Absolutely
Couldn't have said it better myself.👍👍
Same rock on peace out
You're not alone!
Their sound was basic, but masterful. They could find a groove, and before you knew it, you were relaxing in it like a hammock in summertime.
Ri seen them in Seattle Washington at the paramount theater after I got home from the service..they rocked over in Vietnam
lol perfect description
Used to love them in '74, still love them now.
The early line-ups of Doobie Brothers crushed the later line-ups.
Amen...the original line up is The Doobie Brothers
👍
Yeah, I Like the ORIGINAL line up of 'Doobies'. So Damn Cool during that period...
you're obviously not a musician
Actually, Bassist Tiran Porter joined on the Toulouse Street album, Drummer Keith Knudsen joined on the Stampede album (he toured on the Vices tour prior). Still a classic lineup.

Oh yes back in the day Boone's Farm wine and some doobies and some Doobie Brothers
Tom Johnstone a certified R&R star

I'll also never understand why Tom Johnston isn't in any conversation of the best front men, lead singers/guitar player from the 70's (and his voice is still incredible.)

One of my favorite vocalists for sure!

Just realized how much China Grove has a Steppenwolf, Born To Be Wild feel to it, probably inspired Johnston.
Thanks for the wonderful music, I saw Wilko play with the late great Ian Drury and the Blockheads in The Town And Country Club 2 in 1990 fantastic.
Second the shout out on their Bass Player. Doobies we’re in the same league as Steely Dan as far as incredible Musicians and Talent. Blessed I grew up in the 60s & 70s. The Bands were real musicians. A great time in America ❤️🇺🇸
wow now thats a live band. Porter on bass stellar
These guys did some outstanding songs.
This song got me through several days in high school. Love it!
One of the best bands of the 20th Century.
I must agree but I also like Steely Dan and that's who the Doobie Brothers took their style from ..
I saw them twice, first one Tom Johnson was singing lead and it was incredible, second time Mike Macdonald was singing and i hated the change the band had become. Tom Johnson Rocked!!!
Saw them in concert 1973...they blew the roof off..still listening almost 50 years later
Love this! That it’s live, the ad libs and Tom Johnston looks healthy and like a God here. Simply wonderful!
The 1970s were a golden cornucopia of musical goodness
Chinese owned old Hollywood CA too be bro ❤😊
What a bass line!
End result is legend. Anyone that experienced these guys in this , their rise to prominence, know there will never be another era like it in the history of popular music. It's like what can we do better than what was put out in the 60's...well, they did it, and all the other great musical acts in this era.
One of my favorite bands. Tom was the rock of that band!🎸🎶💃🥰
True gas from the 70's. Remember listening to this sitting at the pool during the summers. What memories these songs are.
Saw the Doobie Brothers in 74 at Pima College in Tucson, Az. Edgar Winter did Frankenstein!
Two of my forever favourites.. just faaabulous..feeling good feeling fine..oooh yeahhh ❤👌
Not everyday you see 2 drummers but you never see one of them wearing a fur coat while playing. Gotta love the 70's.
Dude u get comment of the year .lol he is wearing a fur coat
Hilarious- he’s wearing it like a 65-year old mensch in a NY hotel looking for her poodle who escaped in the lobby.
Meanwhile the bassist looks like he’s going skiing.
Nearly missed it..luv it..thanks..🇨🇦
RIP John Hartman.
@@joeimbesi5361And also Mike Hossack.
Absolutely Brilliant
The groove masters!! Such a unique band and sound!!!
THe Doobies always had great bass lines.
Daaayum! That’s live! It doesn’t get much tighter than that ladies and gentlemen.
I juss love listening to this song China Grove,listening to the music..
Growing Up, The Doobies were *All Over* the Local Radio dial..
The Doobie Brothers are *ICONIC* Music from the 1970s into the 1980s
Love this lineup, man.
Two Doobies' songs that almost have to be tracked one after the other at any tailgate party!!
BEAUTIFULLY DONE. NICE AND TIGHT.
good old school rock n roll
I could live in China Grove forever
My high school years were from 1974 - 1978. The Doobie Brothers were the sound track to those years. My band (Cultural Revival) played "China Grove", l played rhythm/lead guitar. Though we were a CCR cover band we did some rockers from that time and "CG" was one we did at every gig.
🌎☮️♥️🎼🎶🎵🇺🇸
I could.listen to this every day...(actually I do!) Love you guys!
Listen To The Music has one of the ten best bass lines in all of music. That is one I had fun playing. Great rhythmic feel.
One of my all time favorite bands . They were superb musically and good fellas who'd give you the shirts of their backs
Memories from high school, good times!
Tom Johnston's song writing was magic.
I played rock in a local band in the mid 70s. This was one of the first tunes our band leader wrote up for us. We enjoyed playing a lot of their music.
Hey, the 1970s just called....because it couldn't text!
There still great inconcert seen them 2 years ago sound the same as you remembered them .great show .
Listen to the Music playing in my '68 AMX and I was dating a high school senior. A blond little hippy chick. Memories that make me smile.
Just always love the music of the doobies. Listen to the music!
back when the joint you were smoking was so full of seeds your velour shirt was full of burn holes
His live vocals are something!
I was in diapers when this was recorded.
This band is in my soul.
Saw the doobies at the WACA Perth Australia. In the late 1970,s. Music for the soul
this is one of the songs that made me want to play guitar
The original lineup 🔥
Not quite original, as Tiran replaced Dave Sjogren on the Toulouse Street album. The band also did not have two drummers initially.
@@ClintonWatrin-sv8lm 👍🌞🍊
The Doobies painted great images...I would lie back and visualise/relive the the people places and moments they created
Perfection! I Love how He sang the 'Looorrrddd...' part in the adlibs...
Awesome band.
Love Patrick Simmons addition of this rendition!
Groovy music Doobie brothers❤️
Hey, this video is exactly 7:37, and I believe that 3 and 7 are God's favorite numbers, and everything with those numbers together, seems to be blessed.

It ages people, or they lose weight.
He looks different in this one, than the concert they did from two years before in 1972.
Tom looked healthy and younger in that one.
Thankfully, Tom got the help he needed along the way, and he's still a performer, he looks comfortable, healthy and strong now.
***** Check out their group picture from the early days of Doobies, and see how Tom has the long thick wavy hair, and the adorable boyish look on his face!
(No mustache yet).
He looked happy and without a care.
Love Tirans jumper - love his bass playing too.
This group was unkown for couple years before they became a power house band
It s great and magic grooving !
Old is Gold.....Simplesmente ....imbatíveis.....
Blow me Away !
is what this Jam is..
More 70's! Hell Yes!!
Rare to hear china Grove on the radio today listen to the music is the one you hear after 40 years
Holy shit! McDonald really F’ed up this band. This is gold right here.
Old Grey Whistle Test BBC tv studios, yep, went right out and bought the album.
THE.
DOOBIE.
BROTHERS!

We were both merciful and merciless with regards to this lovely music. Struck chords with all of us.
Brilliant band. 70's was full of great music ❤❤❤
The best!! In 2024🇺🇸🇺🇸🎉🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Original lineup = the best
Love it that time in the 1970s was it ground zero until 2000 music now it went in a different direction.the band should have let the base player sing a line or two like Simmons did
They were the days
My favorite band in the 70’s besides Led Zeppelin!
It seems like these songs never get old it juss keeps following with the times..party on..lol
Love these guys! Raw talent.
That was music!
Tom Johnston, what a absolute pro !
Always loved the Doob's
Ok, here goes..I remember seeing the Doobie Bros. in Frankfurt, Germany in 74-76 in a two night indoor concert with Bad. Co., Tower of Power, Chick Corea, Montrose (Paper Money) and maybe one more band (Santana?) Can't find anything on this...Am I o.k.? Time to check myself in?
