HOW can people stand still in that song!!! I'm sitting on my bed with my ipad just about bouncing off my knee!!! The good old days when music was MUSIC 😀😀😀😀😀😀
I'm on another planet when this comes on and I'm driving my car, the volume goes up and I'm screaming with pure rock n roll joy, sheesh, what a groovy song.
@@banzospod lol...can't remember even making this comment back then, but it's pure joy isn't it...music is the best drug 😈...with a little touch of alcohol! 🤣😇
I know.. me 2.. I'm sitting on a folding chair in my bedroom so hot in here.. What a great version... I been listening to them since I could remember.. and I'm 70 years old now... ROCK ME ... ROCK ME
I don't care where I'm at or what I'm doing, when the Doobie Brother's version of this song comes on, I am fired up singing and playing air guitar!!! LOVE this song!!!
I've just watched an earlier version in. The early 70s and he and the band sound just as good here as there.. Not changed much at all and his voice is just as good as it was back then
Everything is fucking perfect: instrumental arrangements, harmonies, solos, rythm section: everything. And Tom's voice has America's greatest music history wrapped up in it. Bloody giants. That's what Doobie Brothers are. And as a Motown junkie myself, all I can say is THANK YOU for this superlative versh.
China grove, long train runnin, listen to the music, great songs but damn this had soul and energy and emotion that is unparalled. Little motown, little blues, little rock n roll
I've seen these guys twice in the past few years and they can still rock! I also think that these guys have one of the greatest sounding names in rock and roll history. The Doobie Brothers!
I've seen them 9 times in Northern CA at 8 different venues and they were great at all of them. Probably best with Chicago. The encore with both bands went on for over half an hour and the volume was thunderous.
RnRHoF is bogus. They should have inducted the Doobs in 83. Since they inducted rap and lesser bands, the hall has no criteria and credibility. For example: How cold the cure be relevant? However, the Doobs remind us of the great bands people love.
I don't think the boys really cared that they got in after so many years of getting overlooked, FUCK the R&RHOF. This band deserved to be in so many years ago and EVERYONE knows it 😤😤😤
One of the greatest American Bands. The RnRHoF should have inducted them in 83. Since they inducted lesser bands and rap, the hall does not have criteria or credibility. The Hall is therefore Bogus. but.....the Doobies are for REAL!
There just isn't a better rock and roll tune than this in the whole catalogue - kicking 12 bar with a great middle 8. The great Kim Weston as well as the Isley Brothers have done great versions of this as well and I can imagine so many singers doing equally fantastic versions. In fact I can't really imagine anyone doing a bad version. This is the best so far though and Tom Johnson is right up there with the greats as far as I'm concerned. I could listen to this number for ever! In fact I would love an extended jam on this for about 15 minutes to play at my funeral. There isn't a better celebration of life out there!
This is more like the original by Eddie Holland. I am having Listen To The Music played at my funeral. Have seen the boys 34 times. 3 times last year in 2019. Legend.
I love it!!! This is why people always wanted me to sing anything from the Doobies because I sound just like Tommy Johnston.I practiced his style to duplicate it and love singing "Take Me In Your Arms",Listen To The Music" and "China Grove".I still like watching Tommy,he's the master singer.
This is one of the great songs, as well as Black Water, Running down the Highway, their just a super great band. Seen them many times, but with Synyrd is was special.
I saw them with Skynrd in Philly. It was clearly a Sknyrd show. The Doobies were the warm up band and played for about an hour. Pat said Thanks for coming. Enjoy Lynrd Skynrd. Of course, I like both bands but the favorite is The Doobs.
The 50th anniversary tour with MICHAEL MCDONALD! Right On!! I hope we get a new album out of them! World Gone Crazy was excellent! Does Ted Templeman have another one left in him?
HOW can people stand still in that song!!! I'm sitting on my bed with my ipad just about bouncing off my knee!!! The good old days when music was MUSIC 😀😀😀😀😀😀
Such a great song. Never gets old and yes, I don't get it how some people just stand there. I'm 65 and if the music is right, I'm still rocking out.
I'm on another planet when this comes on and I'm driving my car, the volume goes up and I'm screaming with pure rock n roll joy, sheesh, what a groovy song.
@@banzospod lol...can't remember even making this comment back then, but it's pure joy isn't it...music is the best drug 😈...with a little touch of alcohol! 🤣😇
This band is the reason I became a musician!
This video is so kick ass good it makes life so worth living!
Hail rock’n roll!
I know.. me 2.. I'm sitting on a folding chair in my bedroom so hot in here.. What a great version... I been listening to them since I could remember.. and I'm 70 years old now... ROCK ME ... ROCK ME
I don't care where I'm at or what I'm doing, when the Doobie Brother's version of this song comes on, I am fired up singing and playing air guitar!!! LOVE this song!!!
Me too, my favourite version. Best wishes.
Tiran Porter is the best bass player the Doobie's ever had. Don't know why he hasn't come back.
True, he said he just got tired of being on the road.
respectfully Willie Weeks played and can still play circles around Tiran. Willie is a monstah..!!
One of the best songs they ever did!!!!
Oh yeah - mind blown!
What a kick ass performance. Plus that constant kick ass bass line.
Tom J sorry you are on the mend...Hang in there...Mend it right👍🙏💗 prayers for you and the Doobies...#1 50 +...MY #1s since 1972. .;)🤘
Skylark's bass groove has so much kick in this.
But Tiran Porter's was better. Tiran's bass dominates this song in the recorded version. I love it.
GREAT to See TOM back in The BAND,,, He and PAT ARE the DOOBIE Bros..
Damn straight, my brother!
THE BASS PULSE IS ON WHOLE DIFFERENT LEVEL ....JUST AMAZING HOW HE SLAPS THE BRIDGE
I've just watched an earlier version in. The early 70s and he and the band sound just as good here as there.. Not changed much at all and his voice is just as good as it was back then

So many afternoons in Golden Gate Park with the Doobie Brothers as the soundtrack,,,
Classic Rock never gets old
It just gets better.
Those background vocals are amazing
The Doobies absolutely killed it on this Motown classic! Loved seeing Tom talking s... to the audience at the end of the song; my man was fired up!
Sensational as a Motown track and even more sensational Doobiefied!! Fantastic.
I've seen these guys twice in the past few years and they can still rock! I also think that these guys have one of the greatest sounding names in rock and roll history. The Doobie Brothers!
We know how they got that name😄
i-ve seen them 21 times. loved every minute of them all. this is my favorite song of all time. always brings back great memories of a long time ago!
One of those great Doobie Brothers songs that you KNOW from the opening! You never forget a song like this!!!
KK and Big Mike... miss those days!!
My VERY favorite Doobie's song. And they did a lot of great ones.
Great seeing the Doobies with the 2 best drummers and one of the best bass players they ever had. I do not mean their current bass player.
These guys can't be beat. This band could be the basis of a new religion. Just GREAT
Lots of happy faces , bass player sending the beat to Australia with that step !
I've seen them 9 times in Northern CA at 8 different venues and they were great at all of them. Probably best with Chicago. The encore with both bands went on for over half an hour and the volume was thunderous.
Man they're really rockin it here!
Saw them o0en for journey a few years ago...awesome not stop great songs
REALLY COOL!!!!! thanks for posting this live video. The fans are really rock'in to this classic song!!!!!
The Doobie Bros are LEGENDARY!
Man, does this great Doobie tune take me back. It does not get any better.
Talk about rocking the house!!!
YES!! Saw the Doobs three times - 1977, 1981, and 1991. They absolutely rock the house!! :) Rock us a little while....
Just curious, what year was your favorite?
My favorite by them of all time! I had a friend Mike Katz from Missouri who knew everything by them and played by ear.
Love ❤️ this song! It’s dynamite 🧨
I love my Doobs!
America's Rock Band! Still great nearly 50 years later. Tom's voice is outstanding. Finally and deservedly the R&R Hall of Fame.

dat bass is sooooo on point
I love driving way too fast to this song.
i think pat still has jeff “skunk” baxter in his soul because he played his distinctive solo great!
Yes for sure! Thank you for pointing that out 😊!
I just saw them play last week, kicked ass all night!
Amazing song! Elected into the RRHOF today 1/15/20. My favorite band of all time! Congats BOYS!!!!!!!

I'm so excited to be seeing them live coming soon. One of the most talented, good time, rockin'ist bands EVER ‼‼‼🎸🎸🎸🎶🎶🎶
Rock on Doobies They still sound great

I'm so glad they went off in this direction wow what a perfect rendition of this song!!!

WOWZER!!!!!!!!

This is one of the great songs, as well as Black Water, Running down the Highway, their just a super great band. Seen them many times, but with Synyrd is was special.
I saw them with Skynrd in Philly. It was clearly a Sknyrd show. The Doobies were the warm up band and played for about an hour. Pat said Thanks for coming. Enjoy Lynrd Skynrd. Of course, I like both bands but the favorite is The Doobs.

Back in FM radio this got minimal air play, and was still great! Compared to all other great bands playing new material on the same FM airwaves.
Cornelius Bumpus was right fit for this tune. RIP buddy.
RRRRRRROOOOOCCCCCCKKKKKK!!!!! one of their best. Thanks for posting, YOU'RE THE BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
True musicians, not like the crap they have today....no autotune, or tune-stepping
My ass would be scooting all over the floor .
These guys still kick that ass after all these years .
Going see my Doobies Brothers Orange Beach July 2022- Im Ready!!!!
