You can just tell what a great artist and entertainer Michael McDonald is backing up another legend with no vibe of upstaging Christopher Cross. Just being able to bust it out on his part with confidence and soul but it's still Chris' song. Wow!
Chris Cross is not only an outstanding vocalist and songwriter, but he can play the Bejeezus out of a guitar. He doesn't show it off very often, but the man has mad skills.
cant belive me (in my 20s) got to hear this live , one of my favorite moments of my life so far, suprised my dad with tickets and it was a once and a lifetime thing to see live. so glad i was rasied to listen and love this type of music.
What IS it about that voice? Always made me crazy thinking about it. The delivery, sounds like he has a Life Saver in his mouth and tryin' to keep in place. I’ll ask Wings of Pegasus about doing Michael Macdonald. Have you seen his channel? A guitarist music scholar,. If you watch only one, see how he breaks down distinctive style of Sam Cooke. Or Hendrix........ ohhhhhh, that’s it......
Incredible how Michael McDonald’s parts are so small but SO important to the song. It would not have been the same without him. His vocals as ad libs and backgrounds sound so incredible and are so crucial on more records than most people realize
Michael McDonald has a Very Special and unique voice, and beautiful too. I am SO glad he is still making music and sharing it with us! We appreciate that you still care about your fans and still provide and share your music with us here on this platform. Whereas there are SO many performances that we would never have seen, from across the country and across the world. I am VERY glad that I get to see other performances here on RUclips. Thank you! 💜💜
Our 24 yr old son made a Mother's Day gift for me which was a custom platy list for me. THE best gift ever!! This song was on it! Great just to listen to, jog to or on your bike. Two great voices.
Love how Christopher cross and Michael mcdonald both acknowledged each other at the end of this performance of this great soulful hit they both recorded together!!
Michael McDonald doesn’t get the credit he deserves. His voice is so iconic and I’m convinced he has been every song worth remembering from the 70s 80s. Christopher Cross, Kenny Loggins and Steely Dan just to name a few
Warren G and Nate Dogg/ regulate : sampled I keep forgetting and most people don't even realize. not to take anything away from them too but it's almost like getting a free hit you can't go wrong it's hard to fuck that melody up lol.

This is music folks.... No Auto-Tune..... Just pure talent .... and Steve Gadd on Drums!!!! For those that don’t know who Steve Gadd is, he is one of the greatest, worlds most recorded drummers...
Let's not forget Michael McDonald help Christopher Cross get started in the music business. These 2 men are ICONIC love this song. Michael has a one of a kind voice you know it's him as so as you hear it.
Favorite favorite song that is sung by Christopher Cross. He has an interesting voice and I love to listen to him as well as Michael McDonald. Absolutely love these two guys. Wonderful to hear them!
Grew up on Michael McDonald!!! My dad would play the Doobie brothers albums on the weekends while my brother & I were home from school and he had a reel to real to record it😀. I’m 53 years old now and reflect 😂. My Dad raised us right ❤!!!
What great talent! Chris Cross on fantastic leads and a humble Michael McDonald playing second fiddle in the background. Two national treasures....we're blessed to have your music.
You are 100% right! I have always loved Michael Mcdonald and Chris Cross too and i still do and i to this day always watch their videos of the 70s and still watch them now very often because these two are amazing talents as well and i love their duo together singing Chris's hit Ride Like the Wind. They are amazing together and we are so blessed to have their music because they all helped make the 70s one of a kind music era for sure and all of us who lived those days with it there is no comparison.
I love the way Christopher Cross takes to the stage. So laid back. So unlike a rock star. He’s recovering from Covid. All the best in getting back to full health soon. So many memorable songs. So unpretentious.
I'm 56 and this has always been one of my all time favorites, I am forever indebted with this brilliant musician for managing to put a smile on my face every time I hear this song...even during the hardest of times.
I agree with you. Songs back then were so beautiful and the groups and solo's were amazing with their talents and ability to make us feel so happy and peaceful with their voices and all the great music they brought for us all to enjoy. Times with America were very relaxing and their music always takes you to happy times and memories. They were great then and they are great now and i love many more talented groups of those years too and im 63 now but havent forgot one thing about how happy the years were then and ppl just seemed so much happier than now with all the stress in their lives. Very good more simpler times. In school i was always glad when Friday's came because it meant a long happy weekend being with family and friends but now not as much, everyone is always just trying to make it in life but my music of all those years ago always make me feel peaceful and makes me think im right back there again.
Ditto…I just turned 66 and it’s high volume every time I hear this great song…and this superb live capture from Cross, McDonald & great ensemble of musicians is off the charts!
1982 - Baytown and Highlands Texas. Jerry and Debra Puritt and William Toadvine - were my neighbors and that was the best summer ever - that cassette and Galveston 💙
Any song that has Michael McDonald's voice always reminds me of my very beloved uncle, the late Carl Smith; he was a lifetime fan of the Doobie Brothers!! Continue RIHP, Mr Brilliance!! 💘 🎶 😍 🎹 Miss you!!
Yes it was! So much talent with the most beautiful soulful voice and there is no mistaking it. I love all his songs and he is beautiful on the inside and on the outside.
As much as it is true that we will never truly bring back artists back from the awesome seventies to perform for us, it is with great pleasure that we have their great performances neatly tucked away in archives to remember these great bands. If I had the ability to bring them back as they were in the height of their performances it would be now, we have lost a great culture of music, what is out there now is what they call music, it is not!! I lived the 70s, we will never pass that way again.
You are very right about that. The 70s were the very best of all times and if you could bring them back i would love it because it was a very good culture of music and i had the honor of living in the 70s too and i was a very happy teenager with the music and groups that were so very talented. They sang from their heart and those songs and talent will never be rewrote again because the old days cant be brought back but i sure wish they could because i miss the old days and i always played my music back then and i still listen to it now and im 63 but i will never forget and im so thankful for each and every group and amazing songs they gave us.
I know Chris personally. He's a fantastic guy. Born in San Antonio as Christopher Ghephart, he rose to fame as one of the only musicians to ever win 5 Grammys and one Oscar in one year! After moving to Austin, he was spotted for his guitar work by Michael Omartian, a basically Christian producer. When he heard Chris sing, he brought to Warners where everyine the Warner's stable begged to be on his first album, the historically classic Grammy winner with McDonald and Nicolette Larson on board. Just a little FYI while you listen.
I have the privilege of seeing Christopher Cross up front when he did a one night only concert in the 90s. He was in his 100% A game at that time. He rocks the whole room. It was a very memorable experience in my life. Spectacularly Superb performance
I am a big Fan from Michael Mcdonald and Christopher Cross, and hear their music when I was teenager. Now I hear a lot of this old music and I am very happy! It's a part of my life and it's so great to hear it now again... Thank you!
WOW just stunning.... Proud as we speak...... my beautiful cherokee son plays the piano and he is awe of Michael , his voice is identical, give your children a musical instrument . to play...
I have heard this song a thousand times since it was released when I was just a child, plus I am a musician for decades, and I also worked in music production for years as well, but this version of "Ride Like the Wind" gave me goosebumps the whole way through. Outstanding, absolutely spot on performance. Chris, and Michael were of course great, but the band was as close to perfect as them as well. BRAVO!
Love seeing Steve Porcaro in the background doing his signature "Elaine" dance.' Great live performer but even better composer and musician--as were all of his brothers.The Porcaro family--what a dynasty!
You know Chris and his wife both got the virus. Got better but then Chris just all of a sudden collapsed. Was not a good thing but making his way back!!! Praise God!!🙏🙏🙏

Cristopher Cross + Mike Mc Donald=PURE GOLD
Sheesh, when Michael steps in and belts that soulful note, instant chills and goosebumps, wow
I love how Michael is just the backup guy in this and a lot of other songs.
Same here!❤️

Michael Rules!!!!!!
Ladies and Gentlemen, Christopher Cross. Ride like the wind. Michael McDonald, brilliant.
I’m with you even in 2024 !!! Michael McDonald can still rock on
Chris Cross is not only an outstanding vocalist and songwriter, but he can play the Bejeezus out of a guitar. He doesn't show it off very often, but the man has mad skills.
He and Eric Johnson go way back together in their Texas days.
He's got nothing on Kris Kross.
@@scottoshea9440 who tf is that?
He (Christopher) once filled in for an ailing Ritchie Blackmore during a Deep Purple tour while they were in Texas. How cool is that? :-)

YEAH. Those were the days❤
Praise the music Gods.
Poor future generation . Dealing with Trump etc.
Thanks to the music we had.❤
Still listening in 2024 brilliant performance by 2 legends

Way underrated!
I am defenetely 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
I'm with you in 2023 and will be in 2024 too ...

Michael McDonald's voice is so distinctive. I simply love his style.
Robert Cotgrave I can pick it out in any song, so distinctive is its timbre.
What IS it about that voice? Always made me crazy thinking about it. The delivery, sounds like he has a Life Saver in his mouth and tryin' to keep in place.
I’ll ask Wings of Pegasus about doing Michael Macdonald. Have you seen his channel? A guitarist music scholar,. If you watch only one, see how he breaks down distinctive style of Sam Cooke. Or Hendrix........
ohhhhhh, that’s it......
I melt when I hear his voice. Both men are talented, but Michael is amazing. 🥰
He is Amazing...love Michael McDonaldo
He is Amazing!! Love Michael McDonaldl Always has been.Wow! And I didn't know Christopher Cross could play a guitar like
You simply cannot go wrong with Michael McDonald. ❤
He's rocking the Ric Flair blonde/gray hairstyle look too. Wooooo!
Stumble across this song, loving it, teal music ❤
I know that’s right!
who ever paired these two up did this world a service.... great performance.
Mike did so much to help other musicians over the years. One of the most humble shy guys you'd ever meet. A good soul.
You said it
Probably Michael Omartian.
Could you imagine these two in a bar getting drunk and then in walks Hall and Oats...
@@shanemahler6830 Yeah, that's Yacht Rock Episode 2.
Incredible how Michael McDonald’s parts are so small but SO important to the song. It would not have been the same without him. His vocals as ad libs and backgrounds sound so incredible and are so crucial on more records than most people realize

Who else misses real music like this?
Look up Jim Jenereaux. He is a carbon copy of many older singers like Michael Mac and Chris Cross. He is talanted
Me!!!
Me especially this iconic 😅

If you didn't get goosebumps, you aren't a child of the 80's :-)
i agree
Im a child of the 90s and i got goosebumps ❤
Goosebumps are good - shedding a tear is even better :)
Especially on that MM part
Er, this song is from the 70s.
Yes we're here still jamming this master piece song ❤
I love how a world class vocalist like Michael McDonald comes and does backing vocals for (presumably his mate CC)....Michael's voice is magnificent.
Absolutely ❤
Yes, smooth as butter 😁
I never seen Christopher Cross before and I didn't evn know he played guitar. But I was always a huge fan. ;) Michael Mcdonald is incredible.
I sure miss music like this. Christopher Cross didnt get enough recognition like he should have. Michael Mcdonald is the best in my opinion.
One of the greatest pop-rock songs ever written.
Love how Christopher cross and Michael mcdonald both acknowledged each other at the end of this performance of this great soulful hit they both recorded together!!
Respect

Hearts and hearts for this touching comment
Oh my, how old was the old man? I remember this song from 1979... Must have been a young man... You are a good son, you will always be blessed...
I never knew Christopher could play guitar so well. Hes killing it here.
He started out playing rock around TX and went solo.
Dannnnggg!😳💚💚💚
I’m pretty sure he played for Deep Purple for a brief stint…he’s no slouch!
I gotta admit he caught me by surprise. And I was born in the summer of 1972 and have known this song for decades.
Yes that’s the first time I’ve seen him whale on his guitar like that I thought it was someone else that did those end riffs
Watching from the year 3015! Anyone else with me?
Wow Michael mcdonald was a humbling experience thanks
I always loved this song!
Sending shivers & goos bumps up my spine .Love both so much. Top singers Christopher Cross & MC Donald 100% top. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

I have heard this song a thousand times since it was released when I was just a child, plus I am a musician for decades, and I also worked in music production for years as well, but this version of "Ride Like the Wind" gave me goosebumps the whole way through. Outstanding, absolutely spot on performance. Chris, and Michael were of course great, but the band was as close to perfect as them as well. BRAVO!
Cannot, Make remarks enough..HOW THESE TWO ARE MAGNIFICENT...KEEP IT UP...🇺🇲🙏🌹💯✨
Saw Michael Macdonald days ago supporting Eagles in Manchester UK in Doobie brothers...such talent.....
Michael has never had a bad hair day in his life.
Never. He needs a shampoo endorsement....yesterday.
👍👍👍
And he seems to still have his full range. Unfortunately not so for Christopher Cross.
Funny! Beautiful hair and face! 😊
Two Great Christopher Cross and Michael Mc Donald
Yes they sound great together!!!!!!
LOVE THIS!!!!!
I KEEP WATCHING THIS VIDEO OVER AND OVER!
Very underrated guitarist. Christopher can absolutely smoke a lead guitar. His vocals are on another level, of course.
Both of these men have such distinctive voices, you know it is them as soon as you hear them....and you love them.
one of the most underrated guitar players!
If you love music, it doesn't get any better than this.
Turn the volume up, close my eyes, and I'm back in the 80s
Such a nice place to be
briantheminer, I do the same thing. Also with myy headphones too.
Love the 80s.
Freddie Montanez oh for a time machine as well as RUclips Freddie 👍
First time I ever seen any of these concert clips they are making me happy 😊
Bought this album in 79 when I was freshman in high school, incredible
Singer actually both. play the crap out of this album.
CHRISTOPHER CROSS WHAT A VOICE!!!
Watchin this in 2023 homie....Chris Cross and Mike McDonald...beautiful vocals blending like butter
Love seeing Steve Porcaro in the background doing his signature "Elaine" dance.' Great live performer but even better composer and musician--as were all of his brothers.The Porcaro family--what a dynasty!
Thanks for confirming my suspicions!
I had the pleasures of seeing Christopher Cross two years ago in Dallas. He was Amazing to say the least.
You know Chris and his wife both got the virus. Got better but then Chris just all of a sudden collapsed. Was not a good thing but making his way back!!! Praise God!!🙏🙏🙏
I honestly love your posts and always enjoy reading them in my lonely spare time. I'm so sorry I invaded your privacy, but I'd love to be friends with someone who could share such sensitive post content, which means you're a woman of integrity. I wanted to add you but sending you a friend request without your consent is inappropriate because I'm a public figure and it wouldn't take much either, I'd appreciate it if you send me a friend request now so we can be friends and text better here on RUclips🎺🌷
I love Michael! A century-voice!!!!
And Michael McDonald puts the finishing touches on the song like a master! ❤️
Love me Michael McDonald, always ready to step in and help his fellow singers out, plus he is HOT...:)
