*Anecdote: Played the tubs since I was 12. Used to practice nonstop without headphones, speakers blarin, back wall very near neighbor’s pad. I was about 16, went next door to ask if they could hear it much & to apologize if so. Tyran PORTER opened the door! 😂 I was shocked, he was baked, and cool as ice said, “Aw, NAWWW, *MANNN* ...

Nice to know there are good people out there in show biz. So many jerks get all the headlines that it's easy to forget most of them are probably decent folks.
they were a big part of my youth through he '70's. their music helped me get through the yard work, chores, drives, homework, whatever hum-drum day I was having was lifted up hearing their music. I recall diving to mass alone (Mom made me go when I would finally wake up on a Sunday morning - I'd usually go get high somewhere and crank the tunes for an hour, but this time it was different) As I was driving towards church, I was cranking the greatest rock station I knew of... KGB FM 101.5 in San Diego. The tune "Jesus is just alright with me" came on... it got me through church, as I was singing it to myself the entire mass.I wanted so badly to jump up, run to the alter, climb on top and start singing it as loud as I could. Right there, about 17 years old, I realized music was my church, my healing, my confidant, my freedom, my forgiver! I use to daydream about the lyric's meaning and imagine a different world where love reigned. To this day, even at 51, I fully embrace their songs each and every time I hear, play or teach one. Thanks Doobies! besides... it was the best band name anyone could every come up with!
Right. So many times you see artists that are getting old and it's hard to watch them perform. I know voices age, but some artists should just stop. The Doobie Brothers are one that defies that. They sound about 20 years younger than what they are. That's pretty rare.
I was in the Marine Corps in Japan in 1986 when Tom came through with a bunch of others on a USO tour called The 1st Airborne Rock and Roll Division. Through a strange series of events, I ended up working stage crew. Tom was absolutely the coolest. He answered the stupid questions I had, and treated me- well, not as an equal, but with respect. He gave me advice on being a musician, and tolerated me being a fan. I continue to see them when I can, and hope to thank him one day.
I saw the Doobie Brothers in concert in Savannah, Georgia 1973 and that song was still riding high on the charts. I still have the album Toulouse Street the song is on. They had two drummers then also. Great song. Always been my favorite.
We owe so much to the brilliant artists of our generation. And I'm especially grateful for bands like The Doobie Brothers who've faithfully conserved enough energy to produce shows that knockout every generation since their debut. 50 years. Incredible. I'm so thankful.
This song reminds me of the happiest times in my life from being a kid. I play music and when I get frustrated and think there’s no use I play this song and remember what the magic of music feels like and it brings me right back to happiness.
@@Mo_Ketchups During this video I was thinking of how great it is to have two drummers for some things. You can't get two drummers' worth of sound from one drummer. That's the choice.
Simply type in a Doobie track on YT and you will see a zillion vids. Superb musicians. Humble folks. As strong as ever. Ozzieland you sad? This happend last year in yr backyard ;) th-cam.com/video/YdDZyuWayH8/w-d-xo.html . And this gem: th-cam.com/video/Yqf4gvh3DH4/w-d-xo.html
To bad ReRun messed up the concert at the school. Thanks to What's Happening I learned about this band when I was a kid in the '70s. Always fun music to listen to.
Always preferred the Doobies to the Eagles, and I like the stories Tommy tells about writing the songs. Tiran was the epitome of cool and was talented, funny and great. Patrick is the songwriter who came up with Black Water and it was a huge hit. A personal favourite is South City Midnight Lady. Tommy is the voice of the band with Patrick in fine support, Michael was always going to be a star but for him the band was more of a launch pad, to which he repayed with Kenny Loggins on What A Fool Believes. Jeff came from Steely Dan and gave them a boost but when they reunited in 87 they did it with the right people. Rest In Peace: All the Absent.
I have always been BIG into music. The Doobie Brothers were my favorite for many years. When they came to Central Michigan University in 1976 or 77 I waited in line for almost three days in cold winter weather to get tickets for my little brother and sister, and me. It was worth it!!! In fact my little brother became even a more avid fan than me and has seen them throughout the past 40+ years all over the country he and his wife have "stalked" them (LOL)! This song, "Listen to the Music" I have planned to use at the very beginning of my funeral as the words introduce what I plan to do at my funeral - to make it a time of mostly music. Music that tells a story about my life so by using this song as the intro it will encourage my friends and relatives to listen to the (words of the) music as that will tell the story of my life here on earth until the Lord Jesus Christ welcomes me Home to be with Him and there to see my wife again❣💘❣
When they emerged onto the music scene they quickly became my favorite band and they are to this day...can't sit still listening to these boys :) FINALLY Hall of Fame for these guys!!!!!!!!!!!
Summer days with endless blue skies, as a kid, in cut off jeans shorts, swimming, riding my bike, riding in the car with my mom, getting lost on purpose, with the windows downs... This song is a magic portal, where i can still see this clear as day, i can feel it like it was yesterday, beautiful
A house I was living in had a forced air heating system that had the exact sound that you hear (low in the mix) during the verses. Whenever I was listening to this song, I would look at the thermostat to make sure the heater wasn’t running. I wonder what instrument made that sound. It doesn’t change pitch, so it is easy to identify.
“Doobie Brothers” Out of San José, California. Tom & Pat met at San José State University. The House they lived at while going to State is being put in “Historical” Catagory….SanJoséBob
I love the DB and have for 50 years. BUT these pocket drummers fuck this song up. You gotta have Mike Hossock and Big John Hartman show you boys how this song should be played live. IMO.
The Michael MacDonald era was the worst thing to happen to the Doobie Brothers as a band. His songs were such a huge departure from the Doobie Brothers' sound that it practically destroyed the band. He was a solo artist from the beginning. After he left they got back their sound, but the damage was done. Everything they did before and after was all Doobie Brothers. Everything they did with him are Michael MacDonald songs with the Doobies serving as a backing band.
Hahaha, that original video clip. Instruments you hear that are not on set, playback that doesn't fit the lyrics. Amazing :D. No one cared. They do seem to enjoy themselves though.
It's funny how the story changes with time. I remember the story like this. The doobies manager told Tom they need a hit song, so listen to the radio, and come up with something that sounds like what's on at the time. In other words "listen to the music", and make something similar so it fits whats popular at the time. That's the story Tom told years ago anyway
I ordered a TSHIRT from The Captains Vintage an old Doobie Brothers TSHIRT of their logo with the Eagle and its wings spread out... Its worn out and faded and been around for a long time and I LOVE IT! I wear it with a lot of my skirts especially in summer time. I wear a full face of my makeup (I love makeup and I love putting it on) and this beat up old Doobie Brothers TShirt. love their music.
FINALLY MADE IT INTO THE HALL OF FAME...……….WHAT TOOK TOO LONG? One of my favorite bands, but my favorite songs are WHAT A FOOL BELIEVES & ANOTHER PARK, ANOTHER SUNDAY, both have special meanings to me, to this day. Too bad we can't go back in time. My life would be so different if I could go back to '76. What year for you? Saw them twice; one at the '79 Chicago Fest, they were really jamming and saw them again for my b-day in '96 at the STAR THEATER located inside the RADISSON HOTEL in Merrillville, IN. The theater hosted many top name bands from the time it was built in '79. The hotel was fabulous, but was disappointed in what I thought was going to be a great rocking and rolling, dance to the music concert, but THE DOOBIES did an acoustic show instead. The hotel and adjoining twin towers office complexes were demolished in '17. Didn't make sense to me, since it was privately owned.
These dudes are 70+ years old and look and sound amazing... The power of the Doobie :)
The doobie is a powerful thing!
They sound way much better than many of todays teenager groups 👏👏👏
Thanks and best wishes! 💖💖💖
Blown away at how great the band still sound live! Amazing.
I'm blown away by the rampant use of Just For Men® The 5 Minute Hair Coloring System®
Tom Henderson
I saw them this summer with Steely Dan. Both bands still bring it.
How many are actually original members?
@@SmithMrCorona 🤣
@@AllenPendleton Tommy and Pat. Their original bass player quit after their 1st album. John Hartman quit the band around 1993.

Way to go! That's alright!
One of the very best American bands.

Tom Johnston’s voice is still so strong , and they harmonize beautifully.
Gorgeous singing as well as speaking voice. He should do an audiobook.

One of Rock's great songs.
Congrats, Doobs, on gettin' in the Rock Hall of Fame!
My 5 years old daughter love this song. Ive been playing this in car tape for last one year.
They must be in their 70s now. Incredible how they can still look and sound the same 45 years on.
Johnston will always be the sound of the Doobies for me . This song is one of the best ever written.
This song reminds me of the happiest times in my life from being a kid. I play music and when I get frustrated and think there’s no use I play this song and remember what the magic of music feels like and it brings me right back to happiness.
I didn’t just wear out the 45’s of these guys, I wore out needles! “ Oh black water...”
Same here.
I love this song, no matter what bad mood I am in always cheers me up
Why aren't The Doobies in the Rock Hall of Shame ? They deserve induction . We need a Petition Drive .
Because they're dignified
Dave Brewer ...
They just don’t need to induct the #2 drummer is all. W this band especially, I never understood the choice.
Your prayers have been answered and it’s long overdue!

Because the New York City put-butts want to be the arbitors of taste. F___ them!
Still sounds bloody amazing. Black Water forever!
'bloody'...lol
What will it take to get the Doobies in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Beastie Boys but not the Doobies. Give me a break.
Just shows you how old the guys are voting.
Yeah, I hate the RRHOF's politics.
The Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame Is a joke
Hold on -I agree they are good but don’t underestimate the Bboys !!!
@@leesawford beastie boys are copy cats who are shit..
Cool band still

Black Water is still my favorite Doobie Brothers song.
Being from Texas, China Grove was always my favorite but I love all their music.
Fun fact: Black Water written by Pat Simmons, What a fool believes by Michael McDonald - poor Tommy Johnston
I lost count how many times i danced to this when it came out
They were my first concert . Saw them around 1976 . They still sound amazing
Hey Doobie person! Your concert in Nebraska with Boston was one of the better days in my recent life! Front row seats and worth every penny!
living legends
To bad ReRun messed up the concert at the school. Thanks to What's Happening I learned about this band when I was a kid in the '70s. Always fun music to listen to.
Some of the finest recordings EVER!
Tom Johnson is Burton Cumming's long lost twin brother !!
5:00 with that kind of positive attitude one may be surprised to know these guys are liberal.
5:15 The Doobie Brothers are there to make people feel good. Just like a couple of doobies, no doubt!
Only 12k subscribers.... god damn. You guys are doing good stuff. Keep it going.
Always preferred the Doobies to the Eagles, and I like the stories Tommy tells about writing the songs.
Tiran was the epitome of cool and was talented, funny and great.
Patrick is the songwriter who came up with Black Water and it was a huge hit.

Jeff came from Steely Dan and gave them a boost but when they reunited in 87 they did it with the right people.
Rest In Peace: All the Absent.
Eagles were a great band, but nothin' compared to the Doobies.
Im a 90's kid. Never grew up hearing this song....but everytime i hear it i get this weird nostalgic/sentimental feeling....
I know I'd have dismissed this song in demo form as having no potential.
How did these guys hear something THAT amazing in such silly nonsense? O_O
Feel good music for sure ... always made me dance !
Is that Skunk Baxter I see? That guy is EVERYWHERE
Forever awesome 🎵🎶
yep! and when he said he was naive about thinking of getting world leaders together to get high and dance to music... almost brought tears to my eyes.
Ok now I need to see a doc on What A Fool Believes

thank u tom for writting this classic still love it, love the doobies greetings from australia xox
Tom Johnston's looking super fit here!
This live version of the song sounds FANTASTIC!!
I was lucky enough to see them live. They were great
One of my first concerts in high school. Great band.
Love the Skunk in those old clips.
Love the Doobies, America’s band....
The idea for the song may not have worked, but it sure is on the mark!
Impressive... those voices
I love listening to their music :D
Murderface clickbait!!! Lold
Whoa, dude. I would never thought of that, you're totally right!
Awesome
Never seen them live, but what a great band!
Top of the chain in "Feel Good"music !
He's playing a Mitchell guitar @0:51. First thought was PRS but it's one of those now extinct Mitchells
This song touched me in a very special way....a feeling like blues but happy.
Life long Doobie fan who still misses Tiran Porter! And at least we get to see a glimpse of John Cowan at the very end!
When they emerged onto the music scene they quickly became my favorite band and they are to this day...can't sit still listening to these boys :) FINALLY Hall of Fame for these guys!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Class of 2020!
So they were just phasing the tapes? Had to have been using a a phasing effect on top of that, right?
An incccccreeeeedible tune!
Now this is good music! 🎶 🎶🌸🌻🌺🌸🌻
The opening groove is awesome, if that doesn’t get your foot tappin or your body moving, nothing will

It doesn’t change pitch, so it is easy to identify.
Out of phase? That's a flange isn't it?
No. He refers to that whooshing going from one speaker to another like your passing a train part of the song.
I saw them at a freedom fest in Austin in 1992..they were amazing!
The real doobies not that Michael Mcdonald's crap(or whatever his name was).
Had some musician friends that called that version of the band "The Dubious Brothers."
Their harmonies are the best! Hall of fame soon I hope
Happy tunes...thank you!
Not trying to be snotty, but why two drummers in the live clip?
Great post, good to see them live early and later. Its such a greta song,. The live concert shows they didn't really need the phasing!
What a classic song.

Where's Michael McDonald?
He was brought in by fellow Steely Dan musician Jeff Baxter when Tom had to be hospitalized for bleeding ulcers.
Pat Simmons looks like Andy Travis from WKRP.....
I am going to BINGE watch these!!!!
Tell us your favorite video when you're done. ;-)
Wait...is Duke Silver in the Doobie Brothers now?
Swanson. You son of a bitch.
But why two drummers? Never got that. Same with the Allman brothers.
Never understood 2 drummer thing
It's a jam band thing. Worked real well for the Grateful Dead.
it works though
Allman Brothers made great use of double drummers.
He looks like the singer for These Eyes! For the Guess Who.
Burton Cummings
The Stampede album will always be my favorite,

can you interview leftover salmon about some of there songs
Saw 'em on Long Island, 2012...AMAZING. So much power, energy and the people were into it, including me! Rock on, fellas.
lol...always thought it was "It's the music "....
Captain and Me was one of my first albums...
I Love American Accent 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
LOVE the Doobs...and they hail from my area...Loma Prieta, my mountain home, on the hills above Santa Cruz...happy music...💗💗💗
