I dig watching your reactions Ace. I appreciate your honesty when you don't like a song. I'm 59 years old and grew up listening to these great songs in Southern California. Brings back so many memories whenever i listen to these songs. Music is so powerful.
Love love love them!! I still have my Doobie Brothers concert t-shirt from 1982! Saw them several times and a few years ago they sounded just as good as ever.
Dude you totally put me in a party mood with your dancing and that's just mostly chair dancing! No, for real, you would be right at home on a dance floor in the 80s, or in the 70s, which the mid 70s was when this came out. You would be right at home, and really vice versa for me, although I could probably make it through like one song and then have to take a breather, laugh. I have a lot of favorite Doobie Brothers songs but this is definitely up there. It never gets old. I always hear slightly new details in it but the thing is, it just makes you want to dance to it and groove to it, and for me personally, it makes me want to play bass guitar to it.
I gotta say I thoroughly enjoyed your reaction !!!! I love seeing young people really get into the music of my youth . I am definitely gonna go n check out more of your reactions, and I hope there is many of the 70's & 80's jams....We had the BEST music !!!!
The train sound on the harmonica is actually called a freight train. It was my goal when I was learning to play the harmonica to be able to master the freight train.
Be very careful when listening this while driving. LOL definitely funky. When I was a teenager in the 70's we would roller skate to all these hits, like Earth Wind And Fire, so much good music.
This song was released in early 1973, but (and I seem to be the only one who noticed this), there are some similarities to the Led Zeppelin song "Trampled Under Foot" which was recorded a year later. Led Zeppelin has a reputation of being "inspired" by the work of others, so there's that.
I noticed this back in the 80's... I comment on it every time I watch a reaction to this song or Trampled Under Foot. Zeppelin basically took this song and Zeppelinized it. Much more than "inspired by", more like "borrowed"... in a good way.
In the book "Hammer of the Gods", the author mentions something about Zeppelin hanging out in California with other musicians, and that during this period they did some "Doobie Brothers style" stuff. At the time I didn't know what he was talking about, but a few years later I had bought a Doobie Brothers Greatest Hits tape... Then one day as I was listening to "Trampled Under Foot" I realized that it was essentially this song. You're right, hardly anyone seems to realize this.
The Doobies are awesome! I saw them at a small venue where I was right up next to the stage. It was a memory I will never forget...dancing, singing, a great time for everyone!!
Yes this was on the radio on our way to the Jersey Shore in 1970s. Yes Ace I'm older than dirt😂😂😂😂 Love ya ❣️ Do you want to hear some funky music, the song is " Love Machine " by The Miracles 😎☮️
Blues players on guitar, harmonica, and piano have musical ways of imitating trains. Watch the musical movie from the 80s starring Ralph Macchio (karate kid 1-3) and Joe Seneca, called CROSSROADS.
I enjoy watching your reactions. Love them! I get as excited as yo🎉u when it comes to funk, I want to move when the beat is there. Michael McDonald had a successful career with the Doobi Brothers and on his own. Many, many artists have celebrated with Michael and he's a talented man. If you can will you react to the Live verson of Yah Mo B There featuring James Ingram. RIP Mr Ingram..we miss your music. 🫶🎤🎶🙏
Love this song had to watch your reaction - you know I discovered a Genre of music that I couldn't stop moving too called Afrobeat and the Godfather was Fela Kuti (Like the Bob Marley of Africa) and his sons also continue his tradition. It moves! Look up Seun Kuti doing his fathers song "Opposite People" and you won't be sorry!
What a joy to watch you react to this song and it’s the same way I always feel when I hear this epic track. 🔥 🔥 🔥 I know the Doobie Brothers with Michael McDonald was a commercial juggernaut, but, sorry, there is no comparison to Doobies pre Michael McDonald.

Excellent reaction! That's how ya react. Have fun with it. Great song.
Watched them in concert 4 times. In the 70's they were my favorite group.
I probably saw you at all of them! lol
EARLY Doobies and early Chicago for me
Funky soulful rock and roll get up and move -Doobie Brothers music ❤❤❤❤
Another song by Doobie Brothers with this kind of grove is CHINA GROVE .
Or a little harder edge, "With Out You".
Definitely my favorite Doobies song... 🤘🤪😎
Love love love them!! I still have my Doobie Brothers concert t-shirt from 1982! Saw them several times and a few years ago they sounded just as good as ever.
My favorite Doobies song.. they knocked this one out of the park!

They were the first concert that I attended, I’m 71. Excellent reaction, you have great energy! Keep em coming.
One of the best concerts I've ever been to!!! 🎶🎼🎵🎸🎧🥁🎤🎹🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘
I completely agree. Seeing the Doobie Brothers live is amazing!
@@Noelle0026 wish I could be right back there now!!! The very best music era!!!🤘🤘💜💜
OMG boy. I was 25 yrs when this came out and you dance just like me. I think it was 1974. Great job.
I saw them in concert once in the late 70’s! I love watching you get into the music!
"Takin' it to the Strrets", "China Grove", and "Jesus is Just Alright" are high energy Doobies songs.
Check 'em out... 😎
Just saw them last October in western Canada for the 3rd time...still great!!
We just saw them live last month in New Brunswick Canada. They sounded as good as in the 70's and 80's
My older sister use to teach me dance moves listening to this song and many others of theirs ❤💃💃
Stick with 70's Doobies. ❤
This song was played at every high school dance in the 70's. Takes me back!
A folk sounding 🎵 song by Doobie Brothers, would be "Black Water!" 🎻
one of my favorites by the Dobbie Brothers !
Definitely playlist

Immigrant song was released Nov 5, 1970, on 45 rpm. Hey, Hey What Can I Do was on the B side.
I noticed this back in the 80's...
I comment on it every time I watch a reaction to this song or Trampled Under Foot.
Zeppelin basically took this song and Zeppelinized it. Much more than "inspired by", more like "borrowed"... in a good way.
I have heard a couple of DJ's mention it over the years as well...
In the book "Hammer of the Gods", the author mentions something about Zeppelin hanging out in California with other musicians, and that during this period they did some "Doobie Brothers style" stuff.

I saw them in concert this year. They still sound so amazing! To hear that harmonica solo love was incredible
That's why they used the harmonica in this to make those trains sounds.
The song is called "Long Train Running ". The harmonica did add to the feel of a train moving down the track.
81-84 LIVE Doobie Brothers is the ERA I was going to see the DB. Cornelous Bumpus was singing the Tom library and it was magic
Feel good music right here 😊
Once again Ace you make this 50 something girl smile.😊
Timeless groove .
Understand your reaction... it's THAT good .
Like wow you're a trip😂😂😂😂😂
Note the Illinois Central is a train !! Please do BLACK WATER and JESUS IS JUST ALRIGHT by the Doobies !!
I don’t think it’s possible to have a song about a train without a harmonica in it!
The Doobies are awesome! I saw them at a small venue where I was right up next to the stage. It was a memory I will never forget...dancing, singing, a great time for everyone!!
The train comment is on point.That is part of the sound effect".Long train Running" is my absolutely favorite Doobie Bros.Song.
Definitely FUNK.
Funky One =
"You Just Can't Stop It" from "What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits" .
Doesn't disappoint .
Early club classic in NYC back in the day. Before disco was discovered by the masses…
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Now that's a reaction !
If you love the Doobie Brothers, then you've got to react to "It Keeps You Running"
Your energy is awesome!!
Funky would be Black Water, two other good ones are Black Eyed Cajun Woman and Another Park Another Sunday.
❤❤
Yes this was on the radio on our way to the Jersey Shore in 1970s. Yes Ace I'm older than dirt😂😂😂😂 Love ya ❣️ Do you want to hear some funky music, the song is " Love Machine " by The Miracles 😎☮️

I'm sure you would like "Black Water".

it's kinda like funk, rock, jazz, R&B, and...... disco? lol
Now listen to this song followed by Led Zeppelin's "Trampled Under Foot".
Zeppelin obviously loved this song too... 🤙😎
back in the day they called that "soul" bro
Van Halen - "Little Dreamer"
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Definitely funky, you’ll find a lot of classic rock bands The backbeat is funky
Heart Ripping Soul Funk 😂❤ Daft Punk feat DB is up there with this original for get your ass up!!! 1973 was boomer 💥💥💥
Steeley Dan 'Do it again'.
What a joy to watch you react to this song and it’s the same way I always feel when I hear this epic track. 🔥 🔥 🔥 I know the Doobie Brothers with Michael McDonald was a commercial juggernaut, but, sorry, there is no comparison to Doobies pre Michael McDonald.
Try listening to the doobie brothers ...listen to the music You might enjoy it also.
Michael mcdonald is not saying a lead on this song either.
Actually, that rhythm guitar is "clean electric", not actually acoustic... 🧐
Wrong cover what is michael doin there?
Try Jesus Is Just Alright.
