One of the very best American bands.

Johnston will always be the sound of the Doobies for me . This song is one of the best ever written.

These dudes are 70+ years old and look and sound amazing... The power of the Doobie :)

Tom Johnston’s voice is still so strong , and they harmonize beautifully.

*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* ... I LOVE listenin to it! No WORRY!” and we had a great little chat. What a GREAT DUDE is one Tyran Porter! ✌️

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 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.

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.

Blown away at how great the band still sound live! Amazing.

They must be in their 70s now. Incredible how they can still look and sound the same 45 years on.

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!

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.

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.

I love this song, no matter what bad mood I am in always cheers me up

One of Rock's great songs.

They were my first concert . Saw them around 1976 . They still sound amazing

Still sounds bloody amazing. Black Water forever!

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

Im a 90's kid. Never grew up hearing this song....but everytime i hear it i get this weird nostalgic/sentimental feeling....

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❣💘❣

This live version of the song sounds FANTASTIC!!

Some of the finest recordings EVER!

I didn’t just wear out the 45’s of these guys, I wore out needles! “ Oh black water...”

I was lucky enough to see them live. They were great

Tom Johnston's looking super fit here!

Black Water is still my favorite Doobie Brothers song.

I lost count how many times i danced to this when it came out

Feel good music for sure ... always made me dance !

This song touched me in a very special way....a feeling like blues but happy.

Their harmonies are the best! Hall of fame soon I hope

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.

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!

With the Doobies since '72 - THE Greatest EVER American BAND!! AND They remain one of the most brilliant band of guitarists. Live or Studio, perfection!! You KNOW when a Band is Special - when they feel like FAMILY!! (Fantastic Video Top2000AGogo!!)

One of my first concerts in high school. Great band.

My first album Ever!!! This is still my "Happy Song" still play it every single day!! Thank you Doobie Brothers!! You are Classic Artist Perfection!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!

Top of the chain in "Feel Good"music !

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!!!!!!!!!!!

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!

Never seen them live, but what a great band!

living legends

Saw 'em on Long Island, 2012...AMAZING. So much power, energy and the people were into it, including me! Rock on, fellas.

Welcome to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Class of 2020!

Love the Doobies, America’s band....

Love the Skunk in those old clips.

What a classic song.

Now this is good music! 🎶 🎶🌸🌻🌺🌸🌻

Ok now I need to see a doc on What A Fool Believes

What showmanship. Artists: Take notes. 🏆🏆🏆

LOVE the Doobs...and they hail from my area...Loma Prieta, my mountain home, on the hills above Santa Cruz...happy music...💗💗💗

Impressive... those voices

They were my first Rock n Roll concert as a newly divorced gal. After being forced to listen to Country for 5 years...this was exciting...and definitely more my style! Great job Doobie Brothers!!

I am going to BINGE watch these!!!!

Why aren't The Doobies in the Rock Hall of Shame ? They deserve induction . We need a Petition Drive .

The opening groove is awesome, if that doesn’t get your foot tappin or your body moving, nothing will

Saw them in Pittsburgh last year.....FANTASTIC PROFESSIONAL ROCK AND ROLL SHOW!!!!!

thank u tom for writting this classic still love it, love the doobies greetings from australia xox

I saw them at a freedom fest in Austin in 1992..they were amazing!

I love listening to their music :D

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.

The Stampede album will always be my favorite,

My step dad would listen to them all the time.. weather we wanted to hear them are not. Grew to love them also

Cool band still

5:15 The Doobie Brothers are there to make people feel good. Just like a couple of doobies, no doubt!

Forever awesome 🎵🎶

Happy tunes...thank you!

They were here in Kansas several years and I got to see them. The memories are flooding in! They do it so effortlessly, as they should. They've been doing it forever! Love these guys!

Glad Tom is clean and back making music with his band again.

The idea for the song may not have worked, but it sure is on the mark!

Since the '70s your music had made me feel good! thanks!

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!

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.

Is that Skunk Baxter I see? That guy is EVERYWHERE

An incccccreeeeedible tune!

Captain and Me was one of my first albums...

Patrick Simmons is so cool.

one of the greatest songs ever

Awesome

There should be a movement...along with Rock Hall Inductions...of Rock Hall Abductions...Because some who are in it, don't deserve it. Congrats on Doobies finally given the recognition they deserve!

This is my favorite song in my life.

❤❤❤❤❤❤Amo voceS

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.

He seems like a really cool guy

Ahh another great song! 💖✌

Please upload more videos, love from Australia

Excellent !!

that's what they still do!!

makes me smile.

Thanks... from Everett, Washington... USA...

They sound great

Great!

I Love American Accent 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Tom Johnson is Burton Cumming's long lost twin brother !!

Thede dutch shows are ace...always was....

Only 12k subscribers.... god damn. You guys are doing good stuff. Keep it going.

All time favorite song

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.

He looks like the singer for These Eyes! For the Guess Who.

My upbringing listening to this

The line up I had seen was the original members plus McDonald just started before he crashed . Two drummers and no Plexiglas at the Capital Center . I still have the pyro marks . It was killer and they played the Vice's album . Was like heavy duty Rock & Happy Roll !
