CHARLES HEUMADER oh man that is so funny. At least she had great taste. In fact, the reason I am here is because I love this band. At least your sister had great taste.
Love how they distorted Danny Hutton's vocals. Pure genius. And seriously it's easy to get lost in their amazing vocals but this was a 7 man band with phenomenal drums, keyboards and guitar. What a pleasure to have grown up with them.
The vocal sound was produced by having Danny kneel in front of the toilet in the men's room across the hallway from the studio, and they put a mic in the toilet bowl, to get that vocal sound.
Ok , I'll start here. In 1974 I was 13, and had no concept of what sound or mastering engineering was all about at all. But here in 2024 I have more than a singular clue. Having Danny put his face in a toilet with a mike 🤔 ? ummmm no. I can't phantom that concept at all 🤣😂😅
Something about that song and music was so eerie to me. The guitar starting and building, the grinding of the organ coming through those Leslie's and the echo in his voice coming through the speakers would always grab my soul ..please take me back to 68 to 72!
You know what is really Erie?..the lip sinc' is about as good as a Chinese martial arts movie if you watch the lead singer over the course of the performance.. even when he belts out ",Liar"..it seems like it must be a foreign word dubbed in..
Going to see them in July. My husband is a friend of Danny Hutton. I can't wait!! Glad Danny is still keeping their music alive. R.I. P. Cory Wells. We definitely had the best music in the 60's and 70's. No one today can come close.
Fifty years later and I still have nearly ever recorded song of theirs and still listen to them. My body has changed greatly but as soon as this music comes out of the speakers I'm the young man that's in my mind coming back through the gift of memories. There is nothing more precious than youth and it is lost so quickly. Thank God for memories and bands like Three Dog Night that left us so many.
Agree 100% and the songs mean ever more to me now than they did when they first came out. Many songs flash me back 50 years or so ago with sweet memories that I had all but forgotten about. The power of music is magical.
This is my wifes theme song and I play it jokingly to her when she’s feeling frisky! Don’t get me wrong, we’ve been with each other since 1976. She lured me in by asking me to come over and help her with a school report…which I did, (after being pushed by my older brother) Just recently she confessed that she made that up to get her hook into me! INSTANTLY this great song started playing in my head! We even sat down for a couple hours as I ‘helped’ her with her bogus report while she spun her web!🤣 It worked and we have been together ever since!💕
After the band had its biggest hit ever with "Joy to the World," this was the follow up. Joy was #1 for 5 weeks but Liar only peaked at #7. I thought it was the better song! Glad to see this video has had 1.2 million views.
I have been a Three Dog Night fan for 50 plus years and saw them in 1970. Even as a musician. I believe they were the best vocal band ever. This song "Liar" was originally done by Argent. Even though some of you on this thread believe the audio sucks, this was state of the art back in the day. So much so, that Phil Spector wanted to know how they were able to produce this form of reverb. As it turned out, the vocals were recorded in a restroom.
Late 60's through the 70's Three Dog Night was one the hottest bands in America and the best vocalist I've ever heard. As a teenager, I had collect 11 8-track tapes by these guys that I played on my Lear 8-track player mounted in the glove compartment of my yellow 65' Mustang. My favorite album "Golden Biscuits" with covers of Elton John's "Your Song", Harry Nilsson's "One". I grieved when Cory Wells passed away a few years back. You really need to listening to him play "Try a Little Tenderness" live will give anyone the chills...
Plenty of great music by talented people out there. Not my fault that it doesn't get played on old fogey radio. (Old people are the only people who listen to radio anymore, and you old farts don't know how to find new music elsewhere).
Yeah these guys didn't write their own songs. However they brought the songs to their Peak. They were more than just three singers they were an actual band. There have been many cover bands, however these guys did it best. Totally deserving to be in the Rock Hall of Fame
Exactly. Sometimes covers end up doing better. Look at Laura Nyro's work, which often ended up getting covered and doing better sales-wise than her own.
Good song. Year I graduated HS 1970. Three Dog Night ruled the radio then. Mama Told Me was another biggie for them in ‘70. Need these old songs in this current time.
Hey Paul....I give a salute to Vietnam Vets. For me I was in the 1970 draft lottery. The first one where they were pulling birthdays. My date came up 250 and they were only drafting up to 125 or so for what I remember. After HS graduation in ‘70 I went on to college and had a class 2S student deferment. By ‘74 the war was winding down and we all know what happen in ‘75. Agree CCR were another band who got us thru those days with their music. Cheers to you and good health in our old age. Peace.
Yes they did..in my 6th grade (71-2) music we'd sing The Ink is Black the Page is White. This group pretty much opened my ears to adult music. That I can remember..don't remember much of the 60's lol.
Yet they have so many artists in Rock n Roll Hall of Fame that certainly are no where near rock bands! They lost all credibility when they started letting rappers, hip hop, & country, yet left out great Rock n Roll bands, like Foreigner, Three Dog Night, etc. Should change their name, cause it's no longer about Rock n Roll!!!!
R.I.P. Cory Wells. This song here is what taught me to listen to the whole album and not just the one(s) from the radio. I have this album called Naturally. Got it for Christmas 72 I think at age 11. At some point I decided to listen to the whole thing. Fell in love with Liar when I heard it. from then on I was an album guy. Thanks for all the great music TDN!
This song was quite different from the happy- go- lucky sound we may have gotten accustomed to from Three Dog Night. The song has a dark foreboding sound and strange lyrics, beguiling and threatening at the same time. Danny Hutton stretched out into new territory with his vocals on this track. It's an altogether intriguing song and another great one by TDN!

This song 'Liar' was written by Argent's guitarist-vocalist Russel Hubbard and first recorded by the band on their first album before Three Dog Night's cover. Great rendition, by the way!

First ever rock concert with my best friend! We were in Junior High & her parents took us to Jacksonville to see TDN!! Flo & Eddie we’re the opening act! We had a blast!!!
TDN was just an incredible band... they got a lot of grief for not writing their own music, but they did more with it than many of the original writers would have done, in my opinion.
Saw them play last night, they played this song, and I was blown away. My neighbor gave me and my brother his tickets because he couldn't make it, and we ended up being pretty close to the front 🥰. Highly recommend seeing these guys play.
Love them, had the pleasure of seeing live in ‘70 @ 11yrs young for 1st concert in TTown. Dad dropped me & best friend off downtown & picked us up after “free range kids”, we felt so grown up. Chuck Negron was sooo handsome! What a fabulous band they were! 💗
I was kinda embarrassed that I was softcore for listening to them from Jr. High ,but that 3 year period from '69-72, they were pumping out shit every 3 or 4 months.
Looks like we're about the same age. I was in junior high in 1968. I think this was a hit in 1970. I loved this song. I'd go back to the late 60s and 70s and stay. Great time except for the War in Vietnam. I remember an older friend of mine, went to Vietnam in 1969-1970. When he came home he had changed so much. He was only 20 yrs old, but so much olde, when came home Three years later I found myself in in the
I hadn't heard this song in about 50 years, unless it was on the radio and don't remember. All of a sudden it popped into my head and couldn't remember who did it. 3 dog was a pretty good band they didn't last on my list.
Before my parents divorced when I was 10 one of my few memories of all us together as a family was going to 3 dog night concerts.. my mom said the way my dad sang “old fashion love song” made her fall in love 😂
Love Three Dog Night. Danny was my favorite. Mainly because i dated someone that looked like him. Sadly,he passed away. To this day when i hear the song ONE i cry.
Just saw Three Dog Night in concert tonight. Danny Hutton is only original member. Cory Wells died & Chuck Negron isn't with band! You no longer have to be sad. Chuck Negron was my favourite.
The ORIGINAL band mates that were Three Dog Night were in a class of their own in Americana Rock and Roll. Hear! Hear! to Floyd Sneed the original percussionist who made the music truly classic Rock and Roll!

Snobbery. "they were a singles band!" (which is somehow supposed to be bad(.
Rumor has it, it's because they didn't write their song's. Which doesn't make sense, Elvis didn't either.
back in '70 we were doing purple haze and orange sunshine. it was such a beautiful time and with music like this. . .
Saw them in concert in the ‘70’s. They were great!!

I actually thought the needle would wear out playing this 45 so much. Great song, great band
I may still have my 8track I bought in1979. They rock, even 50 years later, imo 🤘
KT 2112 Me too and the albums !! ❤️. Miss hearing the skips from the scratched well used records....and the new music. Its all. Too...perfect. 😳
Those 3 dudes could definitely belt it out!
I used this song to send a message to someone, she definitely got it, what a powerful song
TDN was just an incredible band... they got a lot of grief for not writing their own music, but they did more with it than many of the original writers would have done, in my opinion.
Same with Grand Funk Railroad
I wasn’t aware that they got grief for that. Great band that create classic hits.
They made many song writers very wealthy! Ask Randy Newman and Hoyt Axton.
My absolute favorite song by 3DN!
Mine too!!
Saw them play last night, they played this song, and I was blown away. My neighbor gave me and my brother his tickets because he couldn't make it, and we ended up being pretty close to the front 🥰. Highly recommend seeing these guys play.
Saw them in Oklahoma in 1971 , still the favorite concert of my whole life !
One of their bests. Totally underrated.
How? This was a pretty big hit for them.
@Mayo Naze ???????
@Mayo Naze Stop posting that Chuck is dead. He's very much alive!!
@Mayo Naze Proper grammar and punctuation would help your comments immensely.
Got to see them last year, at the Chinook Winds casino, they rocked the house, still great for being 70+
Haunting beautiful song. Puts chills down my spine. I ve experienced the song with such a beautiful woman.
Love them, had the pleasure of seeing live in ‘70 @ 11yrs young for 1st concert in TTown. Dad dropped me & best friend off downtown & picked us up after “free range kids”, we felt so grown up. Chuck Negron was sooo handsome! What a fabulous band they were!

My favorite Three Dog Night tune. Russ Ballard's finest song IMHO.
I was kinda embarrassed that I was softcore for listening to them from Jr. High ,but that 3 year period from '69-72, they were pumping out shit every 3 or 4 months.
Looks like we're about the same age. I was in junior high in 1968. I think this was a hit in 1970. I loved this song. I'd go back to the late 60s and 70s and stay. Great time except for the War in Vietnam. I remember an older friend of mine, went to Vietnam in 1969-1970. When he came home he had changed so much. He was only 20 yrs old, but so much olde, when came home Three years later I found myself in in the
@@usmc-veteran73-77 were you going to say that you ended up joining? I waited after the draft, to join the navy-'77-81.
HANG ON TO IT GIRL!
Phenomenal harmonies
I hadn't heard this song in about 50 years, unless it was on the radio and don't remember. All of a sudden it popped into my head and couldn't remember who did it. 3 dog was a pretty good band they didn't last on my list.
You reminded Me of Peter Fonda saying "If you can remember the late 60's and early 70's ... you weren't really there". I concur :)-
@@chipsramek3868 Fonda was weird but this is witty.
Before my parents divorced when I was 10 one of my few memories of all us together as a family was going to 3 dog night concerts.. my mom said the way my dad sang “old fashion love song” made her fall in love 😂
These guys had great voices 👌
Love Three Dog Night. Danny was my favorite. Mainly because i dated someone that looked like him. Sadly,he passed away. To this day when i hear the song ONE i cry.
Just saw Three Dog Night in concert tonight. Danny Hutton is only original member. Cory Wells died & Chuck Negron isn't with band! You no longer have to be sad. Chuck Negron was my favourite.
@@SeasonedAngel1Me too, at the RIALTO!
Great Band, Appropriate song in these times. :-)
This song, so 2022
True,very, very true.
You must be referring to our politicians on both sides of the aisle….one large circle of BS!!!! 😡
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this song and how Three Dog Night perform it! Fantastic!
The ORIGINAL band mates that were Three Dog Night were in a class of their own in Americana Rock and Roll. Hear! Hear! to Floyd Sneed the original percussionist who made the music truly classic Rock and Roll!
Such a great band. Soundtrack of my youth to be sure.
