Back in the day concerts were like an organism, fans would come out in hordes and show their love and adulation for a band, in return they were showered with all the band could give. It really was THE best time for music. Thank you brother for these wonderful strolls done music's memory lane.
Phenomenal! I am so glad you watched the live version. I never knew a brother was singing this either. Then 3 drummers, the guitarist rocked out and then the brother who was singing and playing piano starts playing the saxophone. My mind is blown.
Every member of the Dobbie’s so damn talented, any one of them can jump in and do their thing. Thank you for posting, I’ve always wondered who sang their older stuff once Johnson left and McDonald took over! Brother was on vocals, keyboards AND sax! Awesome!
Stood right in front of the stage watching them play. They are so awesome live...their sound is spot on. I had the best time at that concert back in the mid 80s!
You are one person that really entertains with your reactions. You are one person I would really like to meet in person and even have dinner with. I love how you want to bring all people to gether regardless of race. You are such a happy person and seem to always have a good time. Thank you.
This chanel and Jamel have honestly made my world a little bit better in truly difficult times. Dude, thank you for reminding us of all the amazing music we can share. Thank you for YOU.
Gosh, this performance is so wow. This song also has a whiff of the groups Chicago and the Allman Brothers. Thank you Jamel for sharing this live version. I love the Doobie Brothers and somehow their music never gets old. Woo!
I always liked this band, but I was oblivious to the talent until I actually saw this performance. Those guys were AMAZING musicians and vocalists. Elevated respect for this band.
Ringo Starr's Birthday was today. "It Don't Come Easy" is a great one of his. Charlie Daniels, who passed earlier, was a player on Ringo's 1st solo album. A good one of Charlie's would be "Uneasy Rider".
@@ingridfitz6671 His son Zac must be in his mid fifties now, and he looks in his thirties. I know it's a little late but maybe I need to take up drumming.🥁✌
@@robertsaul234 Yep. Zak is now 55. Julian Lennon is 57 (!). Jason Starkey is 53. Mary McCartney and Lee Starkey are both 50. Stella McCartney is 48. Sean Lennon is 45. James McCartney is 42. Dhani Harrison is 41. Beatrice McCartney is 17. Where does the time go?
I went to a Doobie Brothers concert in 1976. I was 13. That was the first time I had ever seen a joint! I learned what it smelled like too that night! People were passing it around. I just knew I was going to get caught even though I was just passing it down the line!
I saw Doobie Brothers several times around 1970 or so playing for free on the beach in and around Santa Cruz, Northern California. They got their start playing at Hells Angels parties in the Santa Cruz mountains.
That Santa Barbara show is a great source of the Doobies' brilliance as a live band, for more reactions. Sounds great, and them at the height of their powers.
"The Brother", Cornelius Bumpus, was singing Tom Johnston's part in this performance because Tom had had to leave the band due to health reasons. (He had nearly died from a bleeding ulcer and had to be hospitalized on the eve of a major tour in 1975, which is how Michael McDonald became their front man; Jeff Baxter, formerly of Steely Dan, suggested McDonald as a replacement.) McDonald is a talented singer, to be sure, but his vocal range generally can't go *quite* that low. :D
Saw them in 72 with Tom and it was great. Never much cared for them after McDonald came onboard. But hey, they could have done worse. Went to the bank big time didn't they.
@greenmean1 Yeah, it seems like a lot of people have kind of forgotten the circumstances behind why Johnston was replaced with McDonald back then. :-) It wasn't like the record label made them do it; it was literally a life-and-death issue of Johnston having to go into the hospital RIGHT NOW, and there simply was no way he could have continued with the band. Fortunately for us, he did regain his health, and rejoined the band when they got back together in the early 90s, and has been with them ever since. :) They're on their 50th-anniversary tour this year (or were supposed to be, before the virus hit), and I'm hoping I'll still get to see them later this year, as McDonald is joining them on this tour and they'll have both Tom *and* Michael performing. That should be epic!
I LIKED SKUNK HE'S A CHARACTER .VERY INTELLIGENT MAN . THANKS TO HIM HE BROUGHT THE ARMED SERVICES OUT OF THE ANALOG AND INTO THE DIGITAL AGE ! WHAT A TALENT .
This is the era when Tom Johnston had left the band and Michael McDonald joined. Although the Doobies were very succesful during the Michael McDonald era, just not the same without the real driving force of the Doobies Missing.
I so agree David Hattman! I really liked the Doobies, and then I didn't- never really paid attention to the line up. It was Michael McDonald that I didn't like!! He is a great singer on his own, but he turned the Doobie Bros into a pop band!
Wow! First time for me also, perfection!!! Insane talent. Dang. That sounds SO good!! Michel looked over and smiled his nod of impressed approval ✨👌✨ I love that!! What a concert to buy..I'm gonna keep my eye out.
"I'LL BE OVER YOU" by TOTO. Their Father Joe Pocaro a well known session musician, a percussionist passed away at the age of 90. His sons Jeff, Mike and Steve Porcaro were members of TOTO (Jeff and Steve were founding members). Prolific studio musicians. Oh, and play the official video....you'll recognize a certain guest vocalist. 😉
Jamel, this channel, out of all of my subscribed channels, is my favorite. I love that you look at the lyrics and really experience the song. Good job you handsome SOB!!
Now THIS is a live performance for the record books! Wow! How great were they? LOVED the song, before, but seeing this just solidifies in my mind how really great this group was. When you're able for the quality to be this good, and the energy this strong during a live performance...what can ya say? INCREDIBLE! Thanks for your great reaction, Bro. You're the BEST!
I am a Doobie Brothers fan from the beginning and being so, I just wanted to let you know that this live version was from the 2nd incarnation of the Doobies (Mike McDonald edition) This is the 80's version. There is a big difference in the pre-80's Doobie sound (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Doobie_Brothers#Original_incarnation) At any rate, these were tapestries of my era. Keep doing what you doing Jamel and like you tell us, stay safe
OH MY GOD, I was so entertained watching this video of you, your reaction, and of course the amazing talent and Doobie Brother's song and artist. Loved it all. Thank you for reviewing.
Jamel, It was so cool! Andy & Alex - College Students was reacting to the Outlaws - Green Grass. In their intro, they were suggesting your channel and singing your praises! You are such a positive model to so many!
I saw the Doobie Brothers in Montgomery, AL at the Civic Center in July 1977. They were touring in support of their album "Living on the Fault Line"- the second album with Michael McDonald front and center. I was a mere 15 years old but it was still a transformative experience for me. I've been to many concerts since, but none of them were as electric as the Doobies. I plan to see them next year in Raleigh- oddly enough, it's on the same date as my '77 concert. I so wish Tiran Porter was still with the band, along with Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, John Hartman, Keith Knudsen and Bobby LaKind. Still, Tom Johnston, Patrick Simmons and Michael McDonald will be there- I can't wait!
I’ve been thinking Elvis Costello for some time. Oliver is great. What’s So Funny About Peace Love and Understanding, Alison, Everyday I Write the Book. Many greats
2 good ones, Elvis Costello was in a class by himself, that Pat Travers joint would be good too, would love to see him do reactions to the original version by Little Walter followed by the live Pat Travers version. Great comment.
I saw them in 1989 in Lake Placid. The Fabulous Thunderbirds opened for them. To this day it is one of the concerts I treasure, getting to see such a legendary group!
You so funny Jamel! I love how happy music makes you, I danced along with you on this one. Thanks for making our lockdown days happier ❤ (went just went back into strict lockdown in Melbourne, Australia for minimum 6 weeks). Love and strength to you and your family 😁🦋🌻
Yes Cornelius was a real gem! This tour was the first time I saw them. It was deemed their “Farewell Tour”. The last tour with Michael McDonald. But alas, they were set to reunite this year with him until...... you know the rest.
I have heard this song too many times to count, but I have never heard it like this!! WOW! What a performance. I saw them live a couple of times, but they were on fire on this day.
React to “Walking In Memphis” by Marc Cohn if you get a chance, it’s a beautiful song, I think you’ll love it. Enjoy your reactions so much, you are very much appreciated.
I absolutely love the Doobie Brothers! Most people have heard the most of the more popular songs , but I really like a song from 1972 that is a bit different. It is "White Sun"
@@jamelakajamal ......About 6 months ago, the Doobies played here in Reno, at the Grand Sierra Hotel & Casino....WITH.....Steely Dan. I'd have loved to have seen it, but I think tickets sold out immediately.

I had never seen this live version, I had no idea of all the drums, I had no idea of all the brothers, you see no strife, all jamming in unison and love of music. Great reaction Jamal.
I stumbled on your channel by accident tonight, starting with your reaction to Black Betty. Rammstein is probably my favorite band and I was stoked that you did a few of their videos too. If I could make a suggestion for a future react video I'd request Avenged Sevenfold's A Little Piece of Heaven. I'd suggest the official video for it because it helps to tell the story, but the live version in the LBC is pretty epic as well. Subscribed!
Hi Jamel - Please check out these Stevie Nicks' duets: w/Kenny Loggins - "Whenever You Call Me Friend"; w/Don Henley - "Leather and Lace"; w/Tom Petty - "Stop Dragging My Heart Around"
@@barefootgroupie4504 if you're still talking Stevie duets too; don't forget her and Lindsay on magnet and steel Walter Egan. and that classic 1979 John Stewart gold..
I’m 29 years old and I’ve seen them 12+ times. They still perform with the same energy after all these years. The most under rated band from their era. Tommy and Pat creat a timeless sound
Lordy, Lordy..what a times, even when I was very young I keeping singing that song... Gosh that percussion is amazing.... No machines to make that sounds what a times!! Love it ...that hair looks good on you too! Fondly, April G North Carolina
It's that "ear candy" that I crave. Which is why I'm always going to be a Live over studio kinda guy. Studio is set in stone. Live... well you see the infinite possibilities right in this very video. Thank you for this wonderful reaction to an ultra fine song. It made my day.
Would love to hear your reaction to some Blues Traveler. The Mountains Win Again and The Hook are the 2 I’d recommend most and if you like those, which I think you will,then Runaround, But Anyway and Sweet Pain are also good ones. Take care and keep making great videos my friend.
This was a first for me, i've never heard the live version. Incredible performance! I'd have to say that was one of the best live performances i've ever witnessed. The musicianship was so tight. Vocals spot on. Wow.
@@evannelson4203 Didn't Tom step away for a while due to creative differences with McDonald? To this day, historically speaking, I'm not sure how much they've actually shared the stage as members of the Doobie Brothers. Anyone know the story there? I was still a kid when this concert took place. Was McDonald a replacement lead for Johnston for a while until he eventually returned and regrouped with the Doobies?
Some interesting history from the WIKI: The American band The Doobie Brothers has had a plethora of members since its inception in 1970, including guitarist/singer Tom Johnston and keyboardist/singer Michael McDonald. The Doobie Brothers employ official members and a small group of touring musicians, usually with a core group shown in promotional material. Guitarist/singer Patrick Simmons is the only constant member of the group, and the only one who has appeared on all of their releases.
Back in the day concerts were like an organism, fans would come out in hordes and show their love and adulation for a band, in return they were showered with all the band could give. It really was THE best time for music.
Thank you brother for these wonderful strolls done music's memory lane.
I saw the Doobie Brothers in the summer of 1982 for my 16th birthday. It was the best concert I've been to.
Rest in Peace Cornelius Bumpas. He was the sax player as well as one of the vocalists. He was great on the song, One step closer.
Phenomenal! I am so glad you watched the live version. I never knew a brother was singing this either. Then 3 drummers, the guitarist rocked out and then the brother who was singing and playing piano starts playing the saxophone. My mind is blown.
Cornelius Bumpus
on lead vocals, keyboard and Saxophone
I believe he has passed away recently
@@MrVato53 2004 while on an airline flight from New York to California. He was only 58.
Who also toured with Steely Dan
MrVato53 According to Wikipedia he passed away in 2004.

This is why we loved the Doobie Brothers.

They just straight-up killing it
I'm a big fan of The Doobie Brothers, and their parents, Mr. & Mrs. Doobie.
LOL!
tooo funny!! lmbo
Mrs. Doobie's maiden name was Blunt. 😆
thanks, I needed THAT !!
Ha ha. They were the cool parents!
Stood right in front of the stage watching them play. They are so awesome live...their sound is spot on. I had the best time at that concert back in the mid 80s!

HEAD EAST - Never Been Any Reason
One of the coolest rock songs
Put on the 'fro AND grab the guitar.
YES!!! Got to see them in college also and have their albums still.
I remember that! Flat as a pancake!
Good one
Also Since You've Been Gone. It came on during a BBQ and my sons (Phish lovers) asked who it was. They liked them too.
Our band used to do this song back in the 80's and when we started playing, folks got up and started dancing. High energy tune! EPIC!...PEACE!!
The Doobies prove it: we're ALL brothers.
Well said.
I always liked this band, but I was oblivious to the talent until I actually saw this performance. Those guys were AMAZING musicians and vocalists. Elevated respect for this band.
Back when music was made by humans and not computers!
I believe this was a free concert. Holy hell.
Cornelius Bumpus a mega talent!
most important message. "without love, where would you be right now?" not born thats where! seen!!! best song ever.

This is awesome !!!!!!
There's nothing fake about this performance it's a show stopper and that is something you really don't get today
Bobby Lakind was all over that percussion! He was another who died WAY to early. This was part of the NO NUKES Movement.
I saw the Doobies at an outdoor concert in 1978, and they totally kill it live, for sure!
The Doobie Brothers were my 1st concert in 1979. I was 14 and my big Sis took me with her and her friends!! ❤️❤️
Perhaps my most favorite Doobie Brothers jam! Great performance. Wished I could have been there.

I was a mere 15 years old but it was still a transformative experience for me. I've been to many concerts since, but none of them were as electric as the Doobies.

I so wish Tiran Porter was still with the band, along with Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, John Hartman, Keith Knudsen and Bobby LaKind. Still, Tom Johnston, Patrick Simmons and Michael McDonald will be there- I can't wait!
I was hoping this was the one you'd play. might not have Tom Johnston but the extra percussion solo made up for it. This whole concert was kickass.
Long Train Runnin w/o Tom Johnston Johnston ain't Long Train Runnin. JMHO
An unbelievably serious amount of talent in this band.

I had never seen this live version, I had no idea of all the drums, I had no idea of all the brothers, you see no strife, all jamming in unison and love of music. Great reaction Jamal.
I stumbled on your channel by accident tonight, starting with your reaction to Black Betty. Rammstein is probably my favorite band and I was stoked that you did a few of their videos too. If I could make a suggestion for a future react video I'd request Avenged Sevenfold's A Little Piece of Heaven. I'd suggest the official video for it because it helps to tell the story, but the live version in the LBC is pretty epic as well. Subscribed!
What a GREAT BAND 👍 they were and are.
Hi Jamel - Please check out these Stevie Nicks' duets: w/Kenny Loggins - "Whenever You Call Me Friend"; w/Don Henley - "Leather and Lace"; w/Tom Petty - "Stop Dragging My Heart Around"
stop draggin my heart around to Classic...I put that on my TH-cam channel last year got those Mike Campbell guitar parts down.. fun to play along
All three duets = 💛🏆💛
@@barefootgroupie4504
if you're still talking Stevie duets too;
don't forget her and Lindsay on magnet and steel Walter Egan.
and that classic 1979 John Stewart gold..
Leather and Lace!! I love that duet!
@@truckerkevthepaidtourist Yes!!! Those are a must also.😊🥰
I’m 29 years old and I’ve seen them 12+ times. They still perform with the same energy after all these years. The most under rated band from their era. Tommy and Pat creat a timeless sound
Today’s equivalent would be the Vaporizer Brothers, and that just doesn’t work.
Lordy, Lordy..what a times, even when I was very young I keeping singing that song... Gosh that percussion is amazing.... No machines to make that sounds what a times!! Love it ...that hair looks good on you too!
Fondly, April G

UCSB "Spring Fling" free with student ID.
That was at U.C.S.B ? Sweet, I grew up in goleta.
UCSB coming in clutch booking a band with doobie in the name
It's that "ear candy" that I crave. Which is why I'm always going to be a Live over studio kinda guy. Studio is set in stone. Live... well you see the infinite possibilities right in this very video. Thank you for this wonderful reaction to an ultra fine song. It made my day.
Would love to hear your reaction to some Blues Traveler. The Mountains Win Again and The Hook are the 2 I’d recommend most and if you like those, which I think you will,then Runaround, But Anyway and Sweet Pain are also good ones. Take care and keep making great videos my friend.
Now i need to go and listen to the mountains win again
Now that's music never gets old I remember I was a teenager . Doobie Brothers were Big !
Jamel love your channel ,have you tried "Hot Chocolate " every 1's a winner ,,,,
That song is 🔥 That gets stuck in my head so good!!
This was a first for me, i've never heard the live version. Incredible performance! I'd have to say that was one of the best live performances i've ever witnessed. The musicianship was so tight. Vocals spot on. Wow.
If this song doesn’t make you move there is something wrong with you
You can never go wrong with The Doobie Brothers!
This is the wrong lineup to watch. No Tom Johnston on lead vocals.
Very good version, but not the same lineup as album version , as well as not the same lead singer!
@@floorticket what an astute and thought out response.
But Michael McDonald is there, so, we traded.
@@evannelson4203 Didn't Tom step away for a while due to creative differences with McDonald? To this day, historically speaking, I'm not sure how much they've actually shared the stage as members of the Doobie Brothers. Anyone know the story there? I was still a kid when this concert took place. Was McDonald a replacement lead for Johnston for a while until he eventually returned and regrouped with the Doobies?
Some interesting history from the WIKI:
The American band The Doobie Brothers has had a plethora of members since its inception in 1970, including guitarist/singer Tom Johnston and keyboardist/singer Michael McDonald. The Doobie Brothers employ official members and a small group of touring musicians, usually with a core group shown in promotional material. Guitarist/singer Patrick Simmons is the only constant member of the group, and the only one who has appeared on all of their releases.
You did totally right choice, Doobie Brothers is great live. And it doesn't get much better than this, incredible musicianship. :)
One of the best live performances I’ve ever seen!!!!
Best music ever back in the day breathtaking
