Actually, Bassist Tiran Porter joined on the Toulouse Street album, Drummer Keith Knudsen joined on the Stampede album (he toured on the Vices tour prior). Still a classic lineup.
These 2 songs were the standards at our Friday high school dances after the football games, there was nothing like rocking out and letting it go. Such great times I sure miss them😊👍
Hilarious- he’s wearing it like a 65-year old mensch in a NY hotel looking for her poodle who escaped in the lobby. Meanwhile the bassist looks like he’s going skiing.
If you need to just feel happy, listen to these songs. And the band still rocks. They're touring this summer, new album coming out. I'll also never understand why Tom Johnston isn't in any conversation of the best front men, lead singers/guitar player from the 70's (and his voice is still incredible.) The most underrated lead singer/song writer from any band.
I was a teenage fan of rock music all through the 1970s, and this lineup of the Brothers was a big part of it. China Grove, Listen To The Music, Long Train Running were 3 of my favorite songs. Then at the age of around 30, I began joining bands around Seattle playing electric bass. I thought I knew who my influences were, but the style I developed had elements that were familiar to me although I was unaware of it's origin. At some point I heard one of these old Doobie Brothers songs and it hit me. It was the Doobs' Tiran Porter. I was laying down lines to original songs that reminded me of his style, and I didn't even know his name at that point. I do now, and I will never forget his name as long as I live.
Nice man, I remember tommy giving an interview recently talking ab his exit which was mostly due to health reasons but he mentioned the doobies changed their sound after he left and wasn't sure where he fit in... this is a classic example of old school version and I def prefer
If you weren't around in '74, of the three front men, the lead guitarist looks like your average '70's rock star, the man on bass looks like he's "dressing for the weather", as we were advised to do as kids, and the third front man looks like he might have been going out to dinner afterwards. That drummer, behind the lead guitarist... Well, I don't know quite what to make of him, but I don't know how he moved his arms in that jacket. Looked more appropriate for Scott of the Antarctic, than for a rock concert...indoors.
Thanks for the fine audio . most of their other live performances on youtube of the audio of this song are inferior to yours. again thanks and peace ! ☮🕊
Ok, here goes..I remember seeing the Doobie Bros. in Frankfurt, Germany in 74-76 in a two night indoor concert with Bad. Co., Tower of Power, Chick Corea, Montrose (Paper Money) and maybe one more band (Santana?) Can't find anything on this...Am I o.k.? Time to check myself in?
Yep !! Was 18yo in 1974 . We strumed on our guitars till early hour's of the morning on weekend's. Let the music play and long train , we were a merry bunch. 78yo now I still listen in and strum , grand kids lining up to learn the songs. Pietermartzburg kzn South Africa.
this is the only version of listen to the music i can find where the guitar music keeps playing after they are done dsinging and theres no backing vocals. Does anyone have a better quality version?
By the ordem of @CarolMariano. Sabia que o sucesso do Doobie Brothers ajudou aos EUAVa superarem a vergonha de terem perdido a Guerra do Vietnam ?? Listei tô the Music ajudou nisso. #CarolMariano.
I'd like some help here. The "third verse" (it's hard to label verse, bridge and chorus of China Grove) we know best as "And though it's a part of the Lone Star State, people don't seem to care...", but that is not what Tom Johnston sings here. My aged ears (too much rock and roll) can't make out the words he sings here. 1:54 mark. Thanks in advance.

The most underrated bass player in Rock & Roll, his groove was always so tastefully done.
And always "rock solid!!!!
Tyran also played guite a bit of guitar on album. Definitely one of my influences on bass early on.
Ty is a great bass player and one of the nicest guys you could ever meet.
Don't know about under-rated🤔 What'd He(identify the player) before & after the DOOBIES? McDonald went solo... GREAT HITS!!! 🎶
Tiran Porter is the best!
Take me back to 1974…ASAP!!! Those were the days 🤙🏼
That’s music. Simple grooving music. I love it. Been listening since 1972.
Absolutely
Couldn't have said it better myself.👍👍
Same rock on peace out
one of those 70s bands that can fill a full concert play list with nothing but hits......
One of my all time favorite bands . They were superb musically and good fellas who'd give you the shirts of their backs
You hear those guitar chords, you KNOW what you are about to hear! One of the all-time great songs performed by the band that made it famous.
One of the great bands of the 70s.
True gas from the 70's. Remember listening to this sitting at the pool during the summers. What memories these songs are.
Sure wish there was some of this in the world today
These songs never get old
The early line-ups of Doobie Brothers crushed the later line-ups.
Amen...the original line up is The Doobie Brothers
👍
Yeah, I Like the ORIGINAL line up of 'Doobies'. So Damn Cool during that period...
you're obviously not a musician

This song got me through several days in high school. Love it!
TIRAN PORTER IS MY PERSONAL FAVORITE BASS PLAYER IN LIFE
Their sound was basic, but masterful. They could find a groove, and before you knew it, you were relaxing in it like a hammock in summertime.
Ri seen them in Seattle Washington at the paramount theater after I got home from the service..they rocked over in Vietnam
lol perfect description
Superb summary - spor on ... .
Used to love them in '74, still love them now.
More 70's! Hell Yes!!
Not everyday you see 2 drummers but you never see one of them wearing a fur coat while playing. Gotta love the 70's.
Dude u get comment of the year .lol he is wearing a fur coat
Hilarious- he’s wearing it like a 65-year old mensch in a NY hotel looking for her poodle who escaped in the lobby.

These guys did some outstanding songs.
Saw them in concert 1973...they blew the roof off..still listening almost 50 years later
good old school rock n roll
Two Doobies' songs that almost have to be tracked one after the other at any tailgate party!!
Tom Johnstone a certified R&R star

Two of my forever favourites.. just faaabulous..feeling good feeling fine..oooh yeahhh ❤👌
I could.listen to this every day...(actually I do!) Love you guys!
Love this lineup, man.
Memories from high school, good times!
Saw the Doobie Brothers in 74 at Pima College in Tucson, Az. Edgar Winter did Frankenstein!
Love this! That it’s live, the ad libs and Tom Johnston looks healthy and like a God here. Simply wonderful!
Daaayum! That’s live! It doesn’t get much tighter than that ladies and gentlemen.
THe Doobies always had great bass lines.
Nice man, I remember tommy giving an interview recently talking ab his exit which was mostly due to health reasons but he mentioned the doobies changed their sound after he left and wasn't sure where he fit in... this is a classic example of old school version and I def prefer
I could live in China Grove forever
wow now thats a live band. Porter on bass stellar
Groovy music Doobie brothers❤️
The original lineup 🔥
Not quite original, as Tiran replaced Dave Sjogren on the Toulouse Street album. The band also did not have two drummers initially.
@@ClintonWatrin-sv8lm 👍🌞🍊
One of the greatest songs ever from any band other than the Doobie Brothers
I juss love listening to this song China Grove,listening to the music..
Awesome band.
Great song great band. !!! Mickie Michele in California still 3 chord crazy
It s great and magic grooving !
What a bass line!
Love this band.❤
I've been listening since 72 also use to get in trouble for going to sleep with the radio on
Perfection! I Love how He sang the 'Looorrrddd...' part in the adlibs...
The Doobies, WOW !!!!!!!!
My favorite band in the 70’s besides Led Zeppelin!
Still sounds great.
Very Nice music!!!
Tom, you were and still are so HOT!! You remain in my memory so vividly, love you always
Tom Johnston, what a absolute pro !
Love Tirans jumper - love his bass playing too.
That jumper gets me😆
Años maravillosos con excelente musica.

That drummer, behind the lead guitarist... Well, I don't know quite what to make of him, but I don't know how he moved his arms in that jacket.
Looked more appropriate for Scott of the Antarctic, than for a rock concert...indoors.
Rare to hear china Grove on the radio today listen to the music is the one you hear after 40 years
It seems like these songs never get old it juss keeps following with the times..party on..lol
Love these guys! Raw talent.
Grew up with this sorry about the rest of you
I did too, hollies, America, grand funk.
Quit talkin' about me like that!! 👍
62 years young and still diggin' it!
Some people are still growing up with it, depends on the adults they hang around with......
back when the joint you were smoking was so full of seeds your velour shirt was full of burn holes
Thanks for the fine audio . most of their other live performances on youtube of the audio of this song are inferior to yours. again thanks and peace ! ☮🕊
❤great band
Nothin like a doobie😉
Love Patrick Simmons addition of this rendition!
Badass band!❤️👍
Seen them live awsome band
Everytime I heard the Doobies out came the buglar rolling papers...
Flawless. Abosolute pros!
An excelent Group.
Ok, here goes..I remember seeing the Doobie Bros. in Frankfurt, Germany in 74-76 in a two night indoor concert with Bad. Co., Tower of Power, Chick Corea, Montrose (Paper Money) and maybe one more band (Santana?) Can't find anything on this...Am I o.k.? Time to check myself in?
BEAUTIFULLY DONE. NICE AND TIGHT.
O baixista é top!!
Never new Doobie brothers sang china grove or listening to the music its all good music..
His live vocals are something!
❤❤❤❤❤❤ohhhhhh ohhhhhh Mr music
Yep !! Was 18yo in 1974 .
We strumed on our guitars till early hour's of the morning on weekend's.
Let the music play and long train , we were a merry bunch.
78yo now I still listen in and strum , grand kids lining up to learn the songs. Pietermartzburg kzn South Africa.
Your math is a bit off. If you were 18 in "74, you should still be in your 60s ????
this is the only version of listen to the music i can find where the guitar music keeps playing after they are done dsinging and theres no backing vocals. Does anyone have a better quality version?
Some bad ass shit right here!!!
Fantastic 👍🙏
Aesome
Saw John Hartman-- quickly on drums!!
Real music
REAL MUSIC
Sounds like live vocals over pre-recorded instrumentation. Right?
Sí señor!
You’re right I hear transition chords nobody is playing, however this is super cool
its old grey whistle test man . Of course it was live. crazy fool 😀
Wow😮😊
GOING TO SEE THEM TOMORROW IN SSVANNAH GA.
Love the last 1:07 minutes of the song! Legit!!!! 16:30 forward.
I think you meant 6:30 forward. The total video is just 7 1/2 minutes long.
Oh yes.
轉眼間已經五十年了。時光飛逝😅
SG guitar and fur coats.

Maximum R&B
Live Vocals over the Studio Instrumental track. 1/2 real.
$3.50 to get in and $10 a lid kids. Brutal.
Bill was a good overseer of the youth too. Not bad.
And her ass was very nice.
I'd like some help here.

Hey people, feel Good?! I thought so.
its just a matter of how you view the prep of militaries
Fur coat...
