The Doobie Brothers are the soundtrack of the late '70s, summer days, hanging out with friends, tossing frizbies.

Michael McDonald is about to sing. Buckle up! Such a smooth, great voice.

I went to high school with the saxophone player. He was married to my best friend's sister. His name was Cornelius Bumpus. He was an awesome musician!

"You don't know me, but I'm your brother" - what a great opening line!! This is songwriting gold.

long train running" is another great doobie brothers song". first" yay

No one wants to admit what this song is really about, which is REVOLUTION and I dig every lyric!!!

Everyone watching and listening, life before cell phones, wonderful in many ways...jmo

The lead singer (Michael McDonald) sang back up on several Steely Dan songs--most notably 'Peg' and 'Kid Charlemagne'' as well as also backing Christopher Cross on the classic 'Ride Like the Wind'.

You'll hear that same vocalist on some of the Steely Dan albums as well.

I'm not usually big on live versions, but I have to admit this was DAMN GOOD!

I'm an old Doobie head, this was their peak with Michael McDonald. His work with Steely Dan was phenomenal as well. Not to mention his giant solo success. He is so good live he elevates the band, the audience, everyone.

Been loving the Doobie brothers since the 70's, their good sound was everywhere! India you will love all the great tunes they have! ✌💕

Michael Mcdonald is from St Louis and his sister wrote an essay about race and it inspired his writing. Alot of great music in all of us because we all are God's children and DNA CONNECTED! Go's bless America 🇺🇸 and you!!

Thank you, India, for your message of love and peace, which is what they were singing about and what the world needs so badly now.

Motown vibe finally goes from the back burner to the forefront! I love my Doobie Brothers!

Micheal McDonald has got soo much soul and a rich voice.

Doobie brothers are legendary

Its fun watching young generation check out the old skool. What a song and performance. Glad you appreciated it. Lyrics still relevant today. Check this song when they did it on "Whats Happening" 70's sitcom.

I first saw the Doobie Brothers on an episode of What's Happening i was 8 fell in love with them 43 now and still my favorite song ever ❤

Our music was the best back then, music today doesn't compare

Next.... Black Water and then China Grove please!

You nailed it India. My generation being raised up in the 60's and 70's was a special time in history. We liked each other! That was just how the times were.We learned about life through the greatest era of music there will ever be. The Music is what drove us to live. We bonded with friends through Bands and their songs. We went to Concerts and passed the joints to the people in front, next to or behind us. Life today is nothing resembling what we lived through back when. We have evolved negatively, into a very Angry society. The stuff record companies produce today that is called music, is far away from what you heard here today. Many of us We can't understand how so many could love today's messages and sounds which speaks in downward tones, where as the songs of the "ROCK" generation spoke of good times, and getting along with each other. BTW Concert tickets cost anywhere from $2.50 to a whopping $7.50 in the early to mid 70's. I hated to but I had to spend the unheard cost of $10.50 to see Led Zepplin in 1977 Cleveland Coliseum, Section 110, Row "H", seat 8. I will never forget that seat nor that Night. I also saw them the next night, show was not as good as the first.

Love the Doobie Brothers! Have to check out Jesus is just alright with me !

The Doobie Brothers broke racial boundaries without trying

The Doobie Brothers had just so many hits.

This performance gives me the chills.

Thank you for reminding me how good my parents music was

Come back, India, from wherever you went! I for one miss you

When music was “REAL” pure talent!! God I miss those days 🎸💙🎤♥️

YOU WON'T FIND A PERSON OF ANY COLOR/AGE THAT DOESN'T LIKE THIS SONG! BEFORE MY TIME, but I thank my MOM(RIP)!!They didn't make bad music! THIS SONG SOUNDS GOOD AS HELL LIVE!! U CAN'T LISTEN TO THIS and NOT GET AMPED!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

The Doobie's were all about ☮️ and love 🎤🎶💙

Michael McDonald is nothing short of perfect whether it’s with the Doobie Brothers, solo or lending his voice as backup for other artists. His sound always comes through. Please REACT to his ‘I Can Let Go Now’.

Love everything Doobie!! You're going to love "What a Fool Believes" and "It Keeps You Runnin'".

'Minute By Minute'.......is great too.....but seriously.......EVERY Doobie tune hits home.

Love this song.

Protesting,peace and early 80's mullet hair! Doobie Brothers: "What a fool believes"..cool song for you to react on India.

I’m loving your song choices! My younger years had amazing music! ❤️❤️🤘🏻🤘🏻

Doobie Brothers has a song called Long Train Running that's a big one

Morning announcements, 7th grade, 1977: "Come to the office to get your Doobie fix! Yes, Doobie Brothers tickets available in the office! Get them now before our stash sells out!" Too funny! LOVE the Doobie Brothers! Is there a video for their song "Black Water"? How about a reaction for that? Thanks, India!

remember when they were on "What's Happening" and that big-ass tape recorder fell out of Rerun's trench coat?

Had a Doobies Bros album or 2 back in the day.😀Then again - who didnt? Michael McDonald s well known since the 70 s back then. He s done duets with many great female singers. Played in many other groups and maby guest gigs. His soul voice is well known across all lines of the music spectre. A great talent himself - to say the least.

AMEN! We are a brother/sisterhood!

The fantastic and completely distinctive voice of Michael McDonald. All the truely great vocalists make it look so easy

That's what real music sounds like. I was born in an Era luckily to take this for granted. Lord, sorry

India, I just found your channel, this is wonderful thing that you are doing. I saw the Doobie Brothers in the parking lot of the Mall of America in the mid 90's. It rained until about an hour before showtime, since we lived 10 minutes away we drove over to see if they were going to play(no internet then). The band was setting up but the only fans were a handful of us in general seating- the back bleachers. When the music started and very few people had shown up, I walked to the front and dumped the water off of a chair and sat down. The bleachers cleared and everyone followed my lead. What a great afternoon to hear a great band.

One of the great rock groups of the 70s . So many hits 😎👍🏻

Just crazy musicianship, and so much fun.

Smooth as silk and a feast for the eyes 🩷

Peace and love.

They were all about positivity.❤️

my forever jam! 😁. find minute by minute by them. i won't b disappointed.

Michael McDonald is amazing! I love the Doobie Brothers

This is my favorite track of this group 👍🏼👍🏼💯

Real artists playing real instruments! Saw them live, they were Awesome!

If you like Michael McDonald, you have to listen to "I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near)".

Michael McDonald singing lead & The Doobie Brothers were throwin' down with this track, it is pure FIRE!!!

The Doobies are awesome!

Oh yeah, the 70s and the Doobies! Such a great Band. Lots more songs from them India.

These guys are so good that they are frequently better live than in the studio.

I grew up in these times music was about love and peace unlike a lot of music today I am glad I got to experience the multi-culture diversity that I grew up in it’s all about love babe all about love ❤️

I am 63 and my generation tried so hard to bring peace... and look at us now....I"m so hurt

Top Doobie Song and that is saying a lot!!!!!

Saw them ive in Hollywood fl. some years ago and just listen and you'll have a little idea what a great time we all had.

We sure were closer in the 1970s than we are today. ❤️

The Doobie Brothers were one of the best. Such great writing and performance.

Love this song!!! I always enjoy your reaction! Your work is so important as you are recording history through music. Thank you!! I will die knowing the great music of my childhood will never die!

The Doobies took us to Church with this one.

Love it hope change will come!

I saw them a few times with both lead singers and they were always great but Michael was outrageous

Everyone sings the praises of Michael McDonald, and they are certainly deserved, but shout out to the backup vocals. They are always on point and it just wouldn't be the same without.

I saw them in concert, they put on a good show !

My wife's stepdad, toured with them ,they used to stop by ,and hang out.

Every time I hear that, i smile, my head moves up and down and my foot taps constantly. None of that stops until the song ends. Love that song. And what an incredible live performance!

OMGosh!!! My fave from the Doobies and you picked the live version!! Thanks sis!!! This is my youth growing up in the 70’s!! 🙌🏼 Keep checking out their other songs.

May i say, your audio share is so brill of your reaction to the 🎶as well as your genuine video reactions, Ms I R! Subbed

Two Steely Dan connections here Michael McDonald is a backup singer for the Dan and then comprable Cornelius Bumpus on saxophone play many sax solos and toured with them live . Great live clip ...what musicianship

This is liive !!!!!!!!! The talent and musicianship to be this good live, is off the charts!

Ahhh yes, the Brothers of the Doob. :)

Love all your videos, I keep remembering all the music I grew up on. I forget some of them because I don't remember the band names. Keep yourself healthy and happy.

Great music great lyrics and a great band. All super talent!

Sweetheart thank you for your presentation. I grew up on this. 🤙🎶💚

My music was '70s music: Earth Wind and Fire, Tower of Power, Santana, Chicago.... I always liked the Doobie Brothers but it's only recently that I realized how much. Michael Mc.Donald is one of the best singers, both lead vocals and background. And the Brothers did some great songs even before Michael joined. They had more of a rock vibe, but rock with soul. Glad I got reacquainted with them.

That’s Michael McDonald singing lead.he was solo before this and after. He was everywhere inthe 70s 80s and 90s. He did duets with everybody. He did “on my own” with patti label. You would be listening to a pop artist throughout these decades. Suddenly you would hear a male backup singer in the back of the track and it was him. Who knows if he made much money but michaels vocals we wanted and were everywhere. He might not have even gotten credit for what he did but he did it all. Best backup male vocalist of all these decades.

Love the energy India

Love them Doobie Bros ! Bring those days back ...

Saw this band three times in the early and late 1980’s.....fantastic live band, great guitar players

Fantastic reaction great song

There are two incarnations of the Doobies. The first and current with Tom Johnston on lead vocals and this bluesey almost ethnic version with Michael McDonald. They can rock, blow blues, and make you move.

India love your beautiful comments! 💕 and yes, nothing makes my spirit soar more than a positive love vibe.

The Doobies are still going strong, and sound awesome!

I can't love this enough.

Michael McDonald has always been one of my favorite singers! This is one of my go to cleaning songs!! Great reaction Miss India! ❤

this live recording from Santa Barbara 1982 is my favorite video with Doobie Brothers, they were at the top of their game. You should see the whole concert If you havn't.

Love them Doobie Bro's!!!!!!👍
