Three Dog Night, the chillest rock band of the 70’s. Every song a crowd pleaser! “Shambala,” “One,” “Brickyard Blues,” “The Show Must Go On,” “In The Country,” “Liar,” “Joy To The World,” soooo many greats!
This , in my opinion, is one of the greatest songs ever written. Originally by Hoyt Axton and covered by many including Three Dog Night, Elvis and Waylon Jennings. My favorite will always be the original, but they're all great.
@@MusicMissionary Knew him as a kid. His oldest son graduated H.S. two years after me. Nice guy, and Hoyt was really easy going and kind. He gave my friend his first electric guitar when my friend had started playing guitar. I started playing drums at the same time and we of course started a band, but it was just fun. We were only thirteen or fourteen, so gigs were usually high school picnics and suchlike.
My favorite by 3DN is "Mama told me not to come" a song written by Randy Newman for Eric Burden in 1966 but covered by 3DN @ 1970. Brad and Lex reacted to it with Lex's Mom.
This one is so sultry in the beginning! I’ve always loved their harmonies. So many fun songs. A beautiful, calming song they have is Out In the Country
"Black & White" is a must listen from Three Dog Night. There is too much hate in our world right now, & we need to spread the positive message of that song! It was a #1 hit in 1972.
This reaction made me smile as usual. Three dog night was one of those bands that it seems like every song they did was just fun to listen to and move to. What a great band.
Wife here..Been listening to this alot lately.., Great song!!..I think it's the steel guitar that gives it a Country sound..He's "slick"..well..said..Brad..!!
Agreed, a great song. What made this great band very successful was 3 great singers. Cory Welles, Chuck Negron and Danny Hutton. Their first I believe was Try a Little Tenderness by Otis Redding. Cory was on lead was phenomenal. My favorites are this, Shambala, Easy to be Hard, Eli's Coming and Joy to the World. Had more tho. Keep up the good work
I loved this band. They were huge in the late 60's to the mid 70's. My favorite songs are Celebrate and Easy To Be Hard. You should react to both of them.
It’s one of those songs that as a young Metal Head , I always acted like I was too cool to like , but secretly knew all the words to and often sang out loud while doing chores alone
One of my all-time favorite songs of all time. It will always remind me of being at my best friend's (RIP) house and playing cards all night long drinking iced tea with Spearmint Schnaps. Chuck Negron's voice can just carry you away. Love 3 DN!
This was by far one of my favorite songs when I was a child.. still is. Love the change ups, the singing and there’s something about the sound of the guitar, driving, powerful, but held back, restrained
Lex ur such a free spirit. I'm 62 years old and I grew up with my dads music Opera & the crooners of 50's & 60's. He was from Italy and my mom was a southern bell. Grew up in Kentuky. Her music was the groovy 60's & country. My whole teenage years was in the 70's. To me the best decade ever. But I get u both. You understand the music easily. Which is rare. Keep it up and I'll be tuning in.
A little trivia. One of the writers of this song, his mother wrote Heartbreak Hotel for Elvis Presley. Elvis also performed this song in Concert during the 1970s.
Random. In 1995 or so, I was leaving a mall as it was closing and 3 dog night had some sort of benefit concert at the Silverdale mall outside of Seattle. I stood outside the door and listened to them for a good 30-40 min.
Three Dog Night had 3 lead singers and their songs always gave you an uplifting vibe. They were HUGE in the 70s, so many hit songs. ONE is my favorite, but Black and White is killer too.
so glad I got to see these guys back in the 90s at a county fair, they played with Steppenwolf and I was pretty high on acid at the time...was a great time to be alive...lol
Three Dog Night had 3 singers who took turns taking the lead with their songs. They were absolutely huge with lots of big hits when they were making music but for some reason classic rock stations rarely if ever play their music. I've never quite understood why that is. Joy to the World (not the Christmas song) was one of their biggest hits.
You guys are great, I enjoy watching you guys, Three dog nights, Dr Hook, and the band, or three of my all-time favorite garage bands because they can play anything country rock blues and soul thank you for your reaction black and white is a very good song too
Sweet! "Never Been to Spain" was a top ten hit for Three Dog Night in 1972. It's my favorite song of theirs. Waylon Jennings notably covered the song as well. His "Live in Texas - September 1974" version is worth checking out too. Three Dog Night featured three great vocalists fronting a great rock-funk-soul band circa 1970. They ruled pop radio in the early seventies with over twenty top forty hits including three number ones. When you're ready for more from Three Dog Night, check out some more of their songs -- "One", "Shambala", "Eli's Coming", "Celebrate", "Out In The Country", and "Black & White", "Try a Little Tenderness", and "Ain't That A Lotta Love" among others that you haven't checked out already.
Always loved their version of this song. Even though it sounds simple, it's not an easy song to sing Imo. The first verse is quite and mellow, but then they crank up the volume and intensity for the rest of the song.
True story, I've never been to Spain, never been to England. Never been to heaven. Been to Vegas and needles. I've been to Oklahoma. I was born there, but I don't remember. Needless to say, I love this song!
Great choice. I Saw Three dog Night and the James gang in Akron Ohio in June of 1972. it doesn't matter what channel your radio was on, Three Dog Night was on it in the early seventies. great reaction!!! keep that 70s music and metal coming!!
Great song from my distant youth. And there is so much great music from then up to today that I can't keep track of all of it. But watching y'all listen to and enjoy some of it always puts a smile on my face.
That guy was or is the most unknown artist of 60s,70s,80s. He was just 20 21 ran into. The highway men guys, cash , I think Bob Dylan was one who saw his talent. He ended up in Hollywood fast lane and his Oklahoma spirit got him off track. He righted the ship and the guy is playing at Royal Albert Hall in London. Not bad for a kid from Oklahoma. He wrote pusherman for Steppemwolf. Then gave Dog the joy to the world song. I can't see zeppelin or stones bringing joy to the world with hermon making you joyful.
The best advice that I ever got from music was from this band. They told me, quite truthfully, that Jermiah... was a bullfrog! Greatest thing you can ever say to anyone.
Favorite of 3 Dog Night remains their cover (all songs are cover) of Otis Redding's Try a Little Tenderness. Especially done live. Cory Wells vocals are worthy of an Otis cover.
Hey you two..... 4 black brothers with a white drummer created this ICONIC Masterpiece from the 60’s Psychedelic Era Trust me…. You do not want your life to end without hearing this song. “TIME HAS COME TODAY“- The Chambers Brothers - Album Long version, then Live. PLEASE and Thank You. 1,595,589 views so far. YOU will like it too
Something very soothing watching a young woman rockin' out to a classic song from the 70s. You would have fit right in with the flower children of the 60s-70s!
Per Wikipedia, Three Dog Night had 21 Top 40 hits from 1969-75 and three were #1. For those six years, they were CONSTANTLY on the radio with one catchy ear worm hit after another. Nowadays, most remembered are Joy to the World and Mama Told Me Not to Come, but there were many others just as good. Check out their long discography.
I was a senior in the late 70s in a small Texas town. Besides the parking lot behind Jack-in-the-Box we hung out in a park ... dark, off the road under the trees, radios blasting. I can SO see Lex there, hanging out and grooving on the tunes. I officially designate you one of the "cools".
Chuck Negron, Cory Wells and Danny Hutton had voices that blended perfectly yet each had his own very special and unique style when singing lead. Three Dog Night was my favorite group.
Three Dog Night is a great club band, a lot of fun. Their biggest hit was probably One. If there was ever a song that would get stuck in your head it's One.
My favorite group. They individually are so talented and have a lead singer voice. Together their harmonies are unbeatable. Eli's Coming One Old Fashioned Love Song Black and White Family of Man Easy to Be Hard Shambala Out In The Country One Man Band Pieces of April Sure as I'm Sittin Here All are just a sample of their discography. There is a list a mile long. Please react to as many as you can. I know you will love them all.
Three Dog Night, the chillest rock band of the 70’s. Every song a crowd pleaser! “Shambala,” “One,” “Brickyard Blues,” “The Show Must Go On,” “In The Country,” “Liar,” “Joy To The World,” soooo many greats!
I’ll second Shambala!
I haven't thought of "Brickyard Blues" in years.
There's a really fun video of them doing The Show Must Go On that I like to watch when I need a smile.
@@kencliff9914 I'll third Shambala!
That tune rules.
This , in my opinion, is one of the greatest songs ever written. Originally by Hoyt Axton and covered by many including Three Dog Night, Elvis and Waylon Jennings. My favorite will always be the original, but they're all great.
Hoyt Axton... I remember when he was on WKRP. I should dig further.
Three Dog Night has better songs though.
@@MusicMissionary Knew him as a kid. His oldest son graduated H.S. two years after me. Nice guy, and Hoyt was really easy going and kind.

We were only thirteen or fourteen, so gigs were usually high school picnics and suchlike.
Axton has a bunch of great songs. Nazareth does a cool cover of his song Busted.
Hoyt was a pretty prolific songwriter.
Brad & Lex, you'll love their "Shambala", "Black & White" and "One"!!
Three dog night,big part of Radio days.
Also their song Out in the Country.
‘Pieces of April’.
Shambala gives such a feel good vibe.
Out In the Country.
My favorite by 3DN is "Mama told me not to come" a song written by Randy Newman for Eric Burden in 1966 but covered by 3DN @ 1970.
Brad and Lex reacted to it with Lex's Mom.

Amen dude ✌
In grade 5, we studied the song and meaning, probably one of the best lessons I learnt in school. ☮️
Underrated comment!
This reaction made me smile as usual. Three dog night was one of those bands that it seems like every song they did was just fun to listen to and move to. What a great band.
"Eli's Coming" and "Shambala" are both _seriously_ "take-you-to-church" songs by Three Dog Night that I'd love to see you react to!
They had so.... so many hits... and great albums.. Saw them on their reunion tour in 84..,,. its was amazing how well they pulled it off...
The best Three dog night song ever IMO. You have to turn it up when this song comes on.
Country music singer Hoyt Axton wrote both this song, and Joy to the world, for the band.
He also wrote Steppenwolf's "The Pusher".
@@padfolio Hoyt also wrote "No No Song" for Ringo Starr in 1975.
@@padfolio As well as Snowblind Friend, been a fan of Hoyts song writing for ever.
@@amb2745if you go to a town first time. Play the no no no song. The regulars will determine if you can score blow.
Ha ha ha. Love this song.
Brad, just sitting staring at a dark screen.
Lex grooving.
Too funny.
Team Lex on this one all the way. How do you keep from bopping your head in that groove?!
They jamming at the end.
Wife here..Been listening to this alot lately.., Great song!!..I think it's the steel guitar that gives it a Country sound..He's "slick"..well..said..Brad..!!
My first Album. Three Dog Night with Never Been to Spain. You picked a winner
Cory Wells sure could sing. Added such grit to the sound of this band.
Agreed, a great song. What made this great band very successful was 3 great singers. Cory Welles, Chuck Negron and Danny Hutton. Their first I believe was Try a Little Tenderness by Otis Redding. Cory was on lead was phenomenal. My favorites are this, Shambala, Easy to be Hard, Eli's Coming and Joy to the World. Had more tho. Keep up the good work
Eli’s coming is a favorite of mine, but it’s written for a tenor, and I’m a baritone;(
Thanks for reminding me of Easy to be Hard. That one goes deep in the soul. Eli's Coming is a powerhouse song. Love, love, love Three Dog Night.
I loved this band. They were huge in the late 60's to the mid 70's. My favorite songs are Celebrate and Easy To Be Hard. You should react to both of them.
"Easy to be Hard" is fantastic.

One of my all-time favorite songs of all time. It will always remind me of being at my best friend's (RIP) house and playing cards all night long drinking iced tea with Spearmint Schnaps. Chuck Negron's voice can just carry you away. Love 3 DN!
I had forgotten how good that song is Thank You
This was by far one of my favorite songs when I was a child.. still is. Love the change ups, the singing and there’s something about the sound of the guitar, driving, powerful, but held back, restrained
Agreed with the other comments “One of the greatest songs ever “. !!!
My favorite was, "Out In The Country". A soothing refrain that will calm the nerves.
Lex ur such a free spirit. I'm 62 years old and I grew up with my dads music Opera & the crooners of 50's & 60's. He was from Italy and my mom was a southern bell. Grew up in Kentuky.

Cory Wells... one of the best voices ever.
Keep on going! Three Dog Night was one of the best bands of the 60s/70s. They had 3 lead singers and cranked out hit after hit.
A little trivia. One of the writers of this song, his mother wrote Heartbreak Hotel for Elvis Presley. Elvis also performed this song in Concert during the 1970s.
A real groover --dancin, drinkin, and chillin-- Love it
Lex is worth watching every time!

Another Hoyt Axton gem. Great songwriter

3 Dog Night had a great run. They deserve their bulletpoint in music history….

Always loved their version of this song. Even though it sounds simple, it's not an easy song to sing Imo. The first verse is quite and mellow, but then they crank up the volume and intensity for the rest of the song.
I made this lyric video! Love from Oklahoma to yall Brad & Lex!!!
"Pieces of April"
"Family of Man"
"An Old Fashioned Love Song"
"Night in the City" (a Joni Mitchell cover)
Yes!! I had completely forgotten about Pieces of April. Great tune!!
True story, I've never been to Spain, never been to England. Never been to heaven. Been to Vegas and needles. I've been to Oklahoma. I was born there, but I don't remember. Needless to say, I love this song!
This is a song where it doesn't really matter what the lyrics are, you just groove to the music.
I saw Three Dog Night in concert in 1972. They put on one heck of a show. Great reaction to a great song!

"Stopped and got Slushees at the gas station." That's the detail I'm here for. I can picture it. Great reaction. Thanks for sharing.
Great song! One of my favorites! Great reaction!
As an Okie, the late great Hoyt Axton wrote this song and Joy to the World, So I have a place in my heart for those songs.....great reaction.....

Hey Brad, now you're going to have to go to Spain and get ''slushies''....lol. Great reaction Lex!

Something very soothing watching a young woman rockin' out to a classic song from the 70s. You would have fit right in with the flower children of the 60s-70s!
And it was a huge hit, along with alot of others, mentioned in the comments by name already ;)
Joy to The world is awesome
I saw Brad smile when they said "they sure no how to use it" the 2nd go round.🤣👌

Three Dog Night. " One" is a must to listen to. Black and White also. These guys are amazing. Proud to say I grew up with this great music.
My dad used to sing this in his band back in the 70s and 80s.
Love these guys!
My favorite ? "Must Let the Show Go On".
They were my favorite band when I was a youngster.
Thank you for doing this one. Great song!
Sounds country because it was written by Hoyt Axton. Good ear Lex.
Storytellers for sure!! SPILL THE WINE another story.
I was a senior in the late 70s in a small Texas town. Besides the parking lot behind Jack-in-the-Box we hung out in a park ... dark, off the road under the trees, radios blasting. I can SO see Lex there, hanging out and grooving on the tunes. I officially designate you one of the "cools".
You would love their song called The show must go on!!!!
I loved this song, way back when! Great time to grow up!
Until you guys cover these songs, I forget 90% of the real great tunes that ever played across the airwaves of an FM radio.
Chuck Negron, Cory Wells and Danny Hutton had voices that blended perfectly yet each had his own very special and unique style when singing lead. Three Dog Night was my favorite group.
Love three dog night!!
One of my favorite TDN tunes!!! 😎
Three Dog Night is a great club band, a lot of fun.
Their biggest hit was probably One. If there was ever a song that would get stuck in your head it's One.
Mike Allsup's solo is what really makes this song, IMHO. Pretty smooth vocals too.
❤❤❤❤❤. Black And White, Shambala, Joy to the World….deep dive.❤ Black and white is still RELEVANT today and a beautiful lesson.
It's 70s rock n roll. 😎
A fantastic take on a brilliant Hoyt Axton tune.
My favorite Three Dog Night song!
You go Lex get into that music you can tell Brad is just busting at the seams
Hilarious "what is it?" Answer: it's the 70's!!!
This is my favorite Three Dog Night song. They have a ton of great music, but the building crescendo throughout the song really rocks my roll.
This is drivin' in the car, nice day, windows down, head up, singin' out loud! Enjoy!
Love it when a song gets Lex boppin.
You asked , What is it ?? Hey , that was Three Dog Night !!! Have you heard Good Feeling 1957 ,, or Eli's Coming ????
In case anyone doesn't know, in the line "The ladies are insane there," "Insane" is short for "insanely beautiful" in that context.
Definitely a slang term for beautiful..
My #1 all time Three Dog Night favorite. Hands down.
My favorite group. They individually are so talented and have a lead singer voice. Together their harmonies are unbeatable.
Eli's Coming
One
Old Fashioned Love Song
Black and White
Family of Man

All are just a sample of their discography. There is a list a mile long. Please react to as many as you can. I know you will love them all.
I remember listening to them while cruising in my Mustang in the 70's. They always had fun music. Love how Lex gets into the music.
The voice, the guitar, and the castanet's ... great hooks to start the song
