Doobies 1.0 - stinging guitar licks, amazing percussion, nasty rhythm guitar, great vocals. And then they take you to church on this one. Great reaction.
"Jesus Is Just Alright", written by Arthur Reid Reynolds, was released by The Art Reynolds Singers in 1966. The Byrds covered it on their 1969 album Ballad of Easy Rider. The Doobie Brothers arrangement was heavily influenced by the Byrds cover. Incidentally, check out the Fairport Convention cover of the song "Ballad of Easy Rider" from 1969 when you can. Sandy Denny's voice is a special something else.
The term you're looking for is "black gospel revival" music! No holds barred, foot stomping, hands up in the air, revival music. Makes you crack your back when you get up to testify! Lol Love love The Doobies, esp pre-MacDonald. But it's all good, ☮️
When you're done with the Doobie brothers, you can start down the rabbit hole of Michael mcdonald. 👍💕 love your uninterrupted, genuine reactions. Blues, Baptist Church and rock. Who knew? Yeah, we had it like that in the '70s and '80s 😉
I love your train analogy. You have a knack for getting to the gist of things without clutter, just clean and concise. I’m going to see The Doobie Brothers in early September 2021. The last time I saw them was Aug 1982. I can’t wait.
Doobie brothers (and alman brothers) are just gems. Thank you pop for bringing me to good music. I would suggest (because I haven’t seen many suggesting it) their song Midnight rider.
Love, love, love this song. Saw them live a couple of times long, long time ago. If you listen carefully you’ll hear an amazing bass rifts as the backbone of the band, often overlooked, but it carries the song.
Love the Doobie Brothers! They played at a fundraiser at the Catylist in Santa Cruz after the 89 earthquake, good people, great music. This song is such funky, soulful goodness, classic 70's.
Opening song each time I saw them. Their tuning up gradually turned into a loose jam, which morphed into “Jesus is Just Alright.” It took me by surprise the first time, but it was a brilliant and unexpected way to start a concert.
Hey Wilburn, how about some of The Who? They have had a long and storied career that is almost 55 years long. Their best work was in the early 70s with their two rock operas(Tommy and Quadrophonic), and IMO, the best rock album of all time, WHO'S NEXT. They were one of the original British Invasion groups. and were huge in the mid to late 60s with My Generation, Magic Bus, Substitute and many others. They were at the first Monterrey Pop Festival, Woodstock, and their Live At Leeds album was the best live album of the 60s. I would start with EVERYTHING off the WHO'S NEXT album.l
So, you "took us to church" with today's reactions.... This is Doobies before Michael MacDonald so you might try their song Blackwater also.... Love it. Also Long Train Runnin'.
This has long been the best cover of this song, soulful and beautiful, and I still love it. However the 2014 version by Stryper on the No More hell To Pay album is even better, having an intense instrumental bridge you don't get here. I'd recommend to anyone that they do a side by side comparison. That being said both version are exceptional.
Phoenix, 1971, Three Dog Night concert. Doobies were the opening act and started with this song; not quite sure what type of band they were. They turned out ok!
Dude, have you had Dee react to this? Doobies are from my neck of the woods, San José, Ca. (Capital of Silicon Valley) S.F. Bay Area, along with CCR, Tower of Power, Sly and the Family Stone, Boz Scaggs, Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane/Starship, Johnny Mathis (the greatest Black Crooner, ever!)…. SanJoséBob
Great song. They had a lot of truly talented musicians and great songs, but for my money, Patrick Simmons was the best of the band both as a writer and a singer.
@Randy Gibson, I completely agree about Patrick Simmons! The one I never liked is Michael McDonald. Something about his voice I don't like. I'm sure I'm in the minority on that one. 😁
For another great classic rock band performance bend your ears to Lou Reed Sweet Jane from the Rock and Roll Animal live album. This is an amazing rock band in every instrumental department.
I love the fact you go with live versions as it shows talent is actually talent however...somtimes there's not a good live version which is no fault of band/artist (pearl Jam 93 best show I've ever seen live) go with the mass with version as a few youve listened to were sub-par in quality. Once agai CHEERS! Wish i could hear these songs for the first time again. Envy.
This current generation is pretty bad. They won't like it when He brings the hammer down on them. They think He doesn't even exist, can't lift a finger to to stop them--and most certainly doesn't know what He is talking about. 🙄🙄🙄
@@ToddSauve you are assuming you have the correct god.... Since there have been hundreds, if not thousands of gods over the history of mankind... Every generation was just as sincere as you. Every culture that believed in Zeus, Odin, Valhalla, Krishna, theories of Scientology...etc...etc... All believed they were enlightened and the ones with the truth. Food for thought🤔
so weird I was just watching an interview with George Clinton and remembered him saying in another interview that he really liked The Doobie Brothers then I come to my notifications and this is here and Al Green “ The Lord Will Fond A Way” earlier… I’m not really religious but even I know not to ignore these coincidences 🙏🦋🌈🌞🌻💜
Love to see someone reacting to the real Doobie Brothers before Michael McDonald joined the group and ruined it. Too bad the pic has Michael McDonald's big fat face right in the middle of it!
🤔🤔🤔hmmm millions of records sold:a solo career & guest vocalist by choice of many Great artist. Hmm🤔🤔Now the statistics say it ALL. You have your opinion & I have MINE.💿📀🎹💽🎻🇺🇸
@@queefreak666 The music industry disagrees obviously. All those #1 hits Not an easy task for most. He is still SINGING & touring.Not many in that era accomplished that. I have to respectfully disagree. Good luck in LIFE. ☺
@@carmenwise2256 McDonald changed the nature of the band from rock and roll to, well, whatever it became. Blasé IMHO. They were rock powerhouses until he came along. Glad when Tom Johnston came back but the band seemed to have lost their creativeness by then and have never really gotten back to their second through fifth album greatness.
One of the more underrated songs in their history.
Doobies 1.0 - stinging guitar licks, amazing percussion, nasty rhythm guitar, great vocals. And then they take you to church on this one. Great reaction.
...and their pre-eminent bassist, Titan Porter! I'm still digging him even years after discovering Jaco, Marcus and Victor.
Absolutely.
Classic Doobies!
Amen Doobie Brothers, Amen!!!🎼🎶✌️

I like the birds version.
Sandy once was a note, pure and easy. The song is on their album Unhalfbricking.
Mike - what an awesome comment! I knew the song had history but it is nice to know the real - Preeeesh
Doobies never disappoint.
If you love this you will LOVE their song Black Water. More cool transitions! Sooo good!
They just put out a fabulous new remote video introduced by Pat Simmons doing Black Water! Check it out!
That whole album is their best work they ever did in the Tommy Johnson era. Which in my book makes it their all time best

Me too!!
Loved it when I was 18.💙
Love it now.💙
Love that you really liked it.💙
So glad..you are listening to this... United we win, DIVIDED we fall...
Great, tune, one of my favorite Doobie songs.
Jesus is just alright with me. Love this song. It is a great tune.
One of my favorite Christian songs❤️
One of their early songs. Saw them perform this in a high school gym, when they weren't even the headliners
Where did you see them - in San Jose?
@@TheDivayenta Saw them at St Francis High School, in Mtn View.
@@arjaylee fantastic. I went to Leigh in San Jose with Pat Simmons!
Dude sorry they are taking down all of yor statues 😅🤣😂😂🤣😅
Big smile says it all!!
Can't go wrong with the brothers...Doobie or Allman!
Doobie's Blackwater or
Another Park Another Sunday
That pearly white cheescake smile is killah!! 😁
... Love watching young ppl appreciating REAL music!
Baptist style...yes. So good! I love the Doobie Brothers!
You are the man...your reactions are great.The Doobie Brothers are legendary.
When you're done with the Doobie brothers, you can start down the rabbit hole of Michael mcdonald. 👍💕 love your uninterrupted, genuine reactions. Blues, Baptist Church and rock. Who knew? Yeah, we had it like that in the '70s and '80s 😉
THIS is the REAL Doobs!! 🤘🏽
One of my songs on my playlist I love this tune
Love the Doobies version of the song. Just great
One if my all time favourites!! 💞💞✌🌻
Always loved this song. Makes me happy.
I love your train analogy. You have a knack for getting to the gist of things without clutter, just clean and concise.
I’m going to see The Doobie Brothers in early September 2021. The last time I saw them was Aug 1982. I can’t wait.
ah...
Your smile throughout says it all.
Thanks for the walk down memorylane. Also loved watching your reaction AND the fact you listen with no interruptions! Great!
I got to see this live! This was before Michael MacDonald was part of the group.
Jesus is just alright will take you to church!
Great choice .
Doobie brothers (and alman brothers) are just gems. Thank you pop for bringing me to good music. I would suggest (because I haven’t seen many suggesting it) their song Midnight rider.
Loved this at junior high dances. Bands loved to play it and we loved to dance to it especially the slow part with our girl.
Jesus is more than alright with me!
Ooooh I am so HERE👏FOR👏THIS👏!
Me too!
When they just alright, they are saying faith is better than any high or physical gratification. Strong faith.
I was the only white boy out of 10 in the band, and I introduced this song...lol
Love, love, love this song. Saw them live a couple of times long, long time ago. If you listen carefully you’ll hear an amazing bass rifts as the backbone of the band, often overlooked, but it carries the song.
This song that set them off
I love your analysis on music! Awesome 💜
Love the Doobie Brothers! They played at a fundraiser at the Catylist in Santa Cruz after the 89 earthquake, good people, great music. This song is such funky, soulful goodness, classic 70's.
Saw them a couple of years ago, they opened with this song. Rocked the arena.
My first concert in high school!

Who's next is one of my favorite albums. Every song is amazing!!!! I love Bargain. ✌❤
SPOT ON!!
@@donnagonatas3155 It is their best song.
Every time somebody says "Hey Wilburn", I think of Mr. Ed.
So, you "took us to church" with today's reactions.... This is Doobies before Michael MacDonald so you might try their song Blackwater also.... Love it. Also Long Train Runnin'.
Oh, am I looking forward to your reaction to this!
: settling in:
Me too!
Loved the train analogy! My cousin was a Locamotive Engineer, so we gotcha, 100%
Don't Want a you No More /Not My Cross To Bear...first 2 songs on Allman Brothers awesone Debut album .made to play together ...youll see why
Glad to see you smile on this one. I love it too, though others disagree.
Seals and Croft wrote this tune. The Doobs took it to an entirely different level.
Great reaction!❤️🤘🏻

Wow didn't know Stryper did a cover? They're my hubbys favourite group. We saw them in concert in 2018, in Sydney
Another churchy song in a different vein is Blood Sweat & Tears-Hi De Ho-their version of God Bless the Child is also fire as well as And When I die.
The absolute best song they ever did !!!
It doesn’t get any better than this!
The group DC Talk does a very cool version of this song.
29 minutes ago
"And they were like, 'Shut your mouth!'"
That one was a laugh out loud moment for me! ☺
Me too!
I love that Pink Floyd break down
Allman Bros. Statesboro Blues please, to keep this combo going.
Yes, a very nice combination.
Great song released in 72. Michael mcDonald joined in 75 so he wasn't involved in this tune
Great rendition of a mid-sixties gospel song!
For more Doobies, check out Clear As The Driven Snow.
Wow. I never realized how much the second half of the song is so similar to pink Floyd
Lol, I thought I was the only who thought that...
I was saying that when I first heard this in the 80's, and no one agreed.
@@lisarainbow9703 yeah. It’s got the David Gilmour guitar style and the bass tones. You’d swear it was pink Floyd if there was no vocals
Phoenix, 1971, Three Dog Night concert. Doobies were the opening act and started with this song; not quite sure what type of band they were. They turned out ok!
When you reacted to the Allman Brother, I also thought how you haven't reacted to the Doobie Brothers in a while. Then the next video was this.
Dude, have you had Dee react to this? Doobies are from my neck of the woods, San José, Ca. (Capital of Silicon Valley) S.F. Bay Area, along with CCR, Tower of Power, Sly and the Family Stone, Boz Scaggs, Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane/Starship, Johnny Mathis (the greatest Black Crooner, ever!)…. SanJoséBob
the train analogy is spot on..... you worked for the railroad? brotherhood !
Savoy Brown, Mark Almon, Poco, there are s many groups and performers that don't get listened to.
Agree Savory Brown
Yes, Savoy Brown- Hellbound Train [ with dead stop ]
Supertramp- “Child of Vision”
Please give a listen to South City Midnight Lady. The one from Rockin down the highway, The Wildlife Concert. It's one of their best!!!
Great song. They had a lot of truly talented musicians and great songs, but for my money, Patrick Simmons was the best of the band both as a writer and a singer.

You looked like you thoroughly enjoyed this
☮️💜
i like you chod your alright man, great reactions all the time. you'd of loved to have grown up in our era :)
Millie from 'Freaks & Geeks' says hello
Check out Green Eyed Lady by Sugarloaf!✌️
Yes yes yes!!!!!!!!
Marvin Gaye.."It's Too Late"...
Suggest you try Jethro Tull- Teacher and Ministral In The Gallery. Also REO Speedwagon- Gypsy Woman Passion.
The picture shows Michael McDonald, but he wasn't in the group until 1975
The band is 'Little Feat" . The song is "Spanish Moon". From the live "Waiting for Columbus" album. Stop wasting your time and get to it.
The lyrics are degenerate but they were a terrific rhythm band! "Fat Man in the Bathtub" had that groove, too!
Try "Pure as the driven snow" by this band.
Please take a moment to enjoy the organ on “Lazy” with Jimmy Barnes and Joe Bonamassa- not a moment wasted!
Just curious...how do we request a song? Is there a site to donate and request a reaction? Thanks.
I love the fact you go with live versions as it shows talent is actually talent however...somtimes there's not a good live version which is no fault of band/artist (pearl Jam 93 best show I've ever seen live) go with the mass with version as a few youve listened to were sub-par in quality.

Any way you could raise the audio level of the music? It's always so low I can't crank it loud enough.
How About Reacting To Some Early Steve Miller Band,, Like "Space Cowboy" & "Living In The U.S.A."..Classics.
❤️
The 'just' in the title points out the objections....which are overruled.
Listen to Black water..
The days is gone where the title, " Jesus is all right with me," wasn't met with hate, threats of violence and protests.
Jesus told us it wouldn't be easy to follow Him. - "Pick up your cross....."

So Tom Johnston's absence had nothing to do with it? You're a music snob.
