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 ❤️🇺🇸
@karolm4045 personally, While I enjoy some jazz.... I don't think adding his jazz "flavor" really helped the Doobies that much. At the time, it added a twist of "pop" that it was lacking I guess.... but to me the Doobies represented the "California rock" style, along with the still popular country rock sound. It was a combo unique to them and the Eagles. When they started going jazzy.... I think that it was a move to towards a more "popish" sound. Let's face it.... you got to pay the bills. AND if that means a more "pop" sound to sell records, then that's what you do. I, on the other hand, pretty much was developing my own likes and love affair with the blues! I guess we all evolve at our own rates!
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.
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.
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 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.
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
Saw them early on in their rise through the rock ranks..... GREAT band especially with the original members. I grew up near Ridgecrest and,if I remember correctly, Patrick was from there and was quite young when he joined up.....
Thanks for the fine audio . most of their other live performances on youtube of the audio of this song are inferior to yours. again thanks and peace ! ☮🕊
Yep !! Was 18yo in 1974 . We strumed on our guitars till early hour's of the morning on weekend's. Let the music play and long train , we were a merry bunch. 78yo now I still listen in and strum , grand kids lining up to learn the songs. Pietermartzburg kzn South Africa.
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?
this is the only version of listen to the music i can find where the guitar music keeps playing after they are done dsinging and theres no backing vocals. Does anyone have a better quality version?

I love the Doobie brothers, "pre- Michael McDonald" of course. 70s rocked!!
The best ! Skunk Baxter really brought them along too!
pre- Michael McDonald -- YES!
But Micheal McDonald added to their group and, then he went solo.

@arthurshingler2025 well my favorite is "jesus is just alright with me."
Just realized how much China Grove has a Steppenwolf, Born To Be Wild feel to it, probably inspired Johnston.

One of the best bands of the 20th Century.
The Doobie's and the 70's will never be repeated.
TIRAN PORTER IS MY PERSONAL FAVORITE BASS PLAYER IN LIFE
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!
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.
Take me back to 1974…ASAP!!! Those were the days 🤙🏼
True gas from the 70's. Remember listening to this sitting at the pool during the summers. What memories these songs are.
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
Superb summary - spor on ... .
one of those 70s bands that can fill a full concert play list with nothing but hits......
THe Doobies always had great bass lines.
Sure wish there was some of this in the world today
One of the great bands of the 70s.
One of my all time favorite bands . They were superb musically and good fellas who'd give you the shirts of their backs
Hey, the 1970s just called....because it couldn't text!
Tom Johnstone a certified R&R star
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!
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.
This song got me through several days in high school. Love it!
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 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.
Two Doobies' songs that almost have to be tracked one after the other at any tailgate party!!
These songs never get old
wow now thats a live band. Porter on bass stellar
Old Grey Whistle Test BBC tv studios, yep, went right out and bought the album.
There still great inconcert seen them 2 years ago sound the same as you remembered them .great show .

Saw them in concert 1973...they blew the roof off..still listening almost 50 years later
good old school rock n roll

Daaayum! That’s live! It doesn’t get much tighter than that ladies and gentlemen.
These guys did some outstanding songs.
Used to love them in '74, still love them now.
Love this! That it’s live, the ad libs and Tom Johnston looks healthy and like a God here. Simply wonderful!
Two of my forever favourites.. just faaabulous..feeling good feeling fine..oooh yeahhh ❤👌
Saw the Doobie Brothers in 74 at Pima College in Tucson, Az. Edgar Winter did Frankenstein!
THE.
DOOBIE.
BROTHERS!
nuff.said.
yep.
Just always love the music of the doobies. Listen to the music!
Love this lineup, man.
Love Tirans jumper - love his bass playing too.
I could live in China Grove forever
What a bass line!
I could.listen to this every day...(actually I do!) Love you guys!
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 👍🌞🍊
Memories from high school, good times!
We were both merciful and merciless with regards to this lovely music. Struck chords with all of us.
Always loved the Doob's
One of the greatest songs ever from any band other than the Doobie Brothers
I juss love listening to this song China Grove,listening to the music..
Brilliant band. 70's was full of great music ❤❤❤
Groovy music Doobie brothers❤️
Yes George, I like Doobie in my funk!
The most underrated band ever
Awesome band.
My favorite band in the 70’s besides Led Zeppelin!
Perfection! I Love how He sang the 'Looorrrddd...' part in the adlibs...
It s great and magic grooving !
Tom Johnston, what a absolute pro !
Saw them early on in their rise through the rock ranks..... GREAT band especially with the original members.
I grew up near Ridgecrest and,if I remember correctly, Patrick was from there and was quite young when he joined up.....
I've been listening since 72 also use to get in trouble for going to sleep with the radio on
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
They were the days
One more orange mesicaline and a dose of the 70's for me please.😅😅
Love Patrick Simmons addition of this rendition!
Love this band.❤
It seems like these songs never get old it juss keeps following with the times..party on..lol
Love these guys! Raw talent.
Thanks for the fine audio . most of their other live performances on youtube of the audio of this song are inferior to yours. again thanks and peace ! ☮🕊
His live vocals are something!
BEAUTIFULLY DONE. NICE AND TIGHT.
Great song great band. !!! Mickie Michele in California still 3 chord crazy
That jumper gets me😆
The Doobies, WOW !!!!!!!!
Yep !! Was 18yo in 1974 .
We strumed on our guitars till early hour's of the morning on weekend's.
Let the music play and long train , we were a merry bunch.
78yo now I still listen in and strum , grand kids lining up to learn the songs. Pietermartzburg kzn South Africa.
Your math is a bit off. If you were 18 in "74, you should still be in your 60s ????
back when the joint you were smoking was so full of seeds your velour shirt was full of burn holes
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?
Años maravillosos con excelente musica.

Everytime I heard the Doobies out came the buglar rolling papers...

Some people are still growing up with it, depends on the adults they hang around with......
