Doobie Brothers with Michael Mcdonald - Minute By Minute - w/ chords

[TheMaz64]

so hope he tours the UK again, gutted I missing last year when he toured with Al Green. What an amazing voice.

[username7046]

40 year old virgin brought me here

[Bibianable]

Fuck an orgasm with this!!!

[tibndin]

I SO LOVE THIS FREAKING SONG....THANK YOU!

[45soulvinyl]

To the 15 dislikers...fuck off!

[nauris708]

decent impression white boy

[LadySwag502]

Mike is one GORGEOUS white boy. Yeah, he can most definitely get it!

[DPSTweek]

How can I love a singer so much and not understand a word he's singing.

[irishbenocpa]

One of the most recognizable voices in all of the music kingdom!



[georgebur]

Hey, am I allowed to enjoy Doobie Brothers pre Michael, during Michael and after Michael?

Because I love the whole lot. It is pointless to compare these eras, they have differences and similarities. The overall result is that we have so much more of so much diversity.

My favourite song is "Echoes of Love".

[realurban]

WHITE PEOPLE REALLY DO HAVE SOUL, HAHA JUST MAD I HAD TO MISS HIS CONCERT HERE. DAMMIT

[passions40]

Little known fact the back round vocals for this song & What a Fool Believes on the album version is song by Michael Jackson.

[zaksdad08]

Sorry if I step on anyones toes, just that I'm an old school rocker. Just never cared for jazz, r&b, soul. All I meant was he slowed the beat & it just didn't set will with a bunch of us rockers. I only play the "pre MM " music, because to me, it rocks and flowed just fine for the style of music I play. To all of you whp like MM, fine, just I love the pre MM sound.

[DaddyTre65]

Michael McDonald's voice is AWESOME!  That's the sound of pure soul singing!

[BloggyG]

The scariest voice on the planet. Yikes.

[evmarse]

do you guys think he walked in held them hostage and his terms were that he joined their band. c'mon!!!!!

[SuperStig23]

The Doobies were just a 3 chord garage band till MM joined them, he brought their music to a new maturity, they all played & sang much better after he joined.

Instead of being relegatated to the discount bin they had several hit albums after he joined. Early fans may not have like the change but without him they would have been playing VFW halls.

[Larrymh07]

@SuperStig23 Not true. I'm not a MM hater, and loved what he brought to the band, but he was overused and exposed for a time.  If you really think they were a 3 chord garage band, then you're being dismissive without knowing what you're talking about.

[SuperStig23]

@Larrymh07

Sorry, in retropect you are right, the Doobies were much more than a Garage Band, I was trying to make a point & got carried away :) , MM really changed the direction of the band, I know this upset a lot of people but they were getting kinda tired by the time he joined. The fact that they adapted their style so well is a testament to their musicianship, there is still some real good rip-ass guitar works on some of the tracks.

[Larrymh07]

@SuperStig23 Thanks, Man. Keep rockin'!

[zaksdad08]

Michael McDonald ruined the Doobie Brothers with his bs songs and voice

[GDCTT]

@zaksdad08 i must respectfully disagree. The Doobie Brothers covered all bases with music to suit all tastes. enter McDonald, now they can include soul/r&b/jazz. Not to mention alot of his songs did bring in even more hits.

[faldarazzo]

@zaksdad08 You're an Idiot

[Sarahsblues]

@zaksdad08 Michael McDonald happens to have one of the best voices, I think. Why so agressive?

[justplayfm]

This video was just added to a music playlist at JustPlay.fm

[jspartacus]

Now that's some guitar playing. None of that "widdly-diddly" adolescent BS. That's textbook feel, taste, and soul.

[evieturner1]

HE IS THE VOICE OF LOVE

[briannack1]

really good live version...thanks for posting



[eastcoastkewpie]

Michael McDonald has THEE SEXIEST voice EVER!!! Those blue eyes HOLY CRAP...he's HOT HOT HOT lol ;D

[karevo123456789]

that keyboard intro is fucking bananas! i keep starting the song over

[RainbowBrite87]

My first ever concert was when I was 17 and it was Hall & Oates and Michael McDonald. I'm 24 now so it wasn't too long ago. He still sounds amazing today. When he sang "What A Fool Believes" my favorite song ever, I teared up. It was great. Hall and Oates sounded amazing too. Awesome concert. I love Michael's voice.

[krazeyelf]

I really appreciate the chord listings on this video. I'm a composition/performance major at WSU and I'm really studying how chord structures go together to form a piece, including with old favorites. I've always loved Mr. McD and the jazzy feel his groups impart to their music. It's nice to see real musicianship instead of an electronic box generating most of the "instruments" and sounds. When I start seriously writing and recording music, I intend to have as many real instruments as possible.

[Musikamole]

It just doesn't get any better than this in music. I've seen Michael McDonald perform for about a few hundred of us at a NAMM show put on by Yamaha.. He brings the same level of intensity/emotion and the same quality of musicians to these very small audiences as well. It was an awesome experience. He is so insanely talented!

[kueen777]

Hmmm...Michael McDonald knows he has a sexy voice. And OMG the musicianship in this one piece supercedes anything that has been released in the past 5 years and especially what is being played on the radio today. For me the keys in this song are hypnotic... it takes you to place of way back when...when real music was authenticated not duplicated...

[frisko129]

kill the haters

[jgrell7642]

@TheTranslator100 Did some research and learned that Skylark had a stroke and is recovering. In a message to his fans he talked about being eager to return to the group-that was in 2010. (All I know is what I researched online.) He was (and I hope will be) a key part of the group. I missed seeing him (I didn't know what his name was, but I remember him from the original group). The group is awesome anyway, but it will be good to have him back!

[TsNanna]

Wish there were more bands like this around. True talent

[desire247]

they still sound great even live..

[MonkeyBars1]

ha sweet you got the turnarounds in there too, well done

[MonkeyBars1]

ha sweet you got the turnarounds in there too well done

[jgrell7642]

Saw the Doobies in concert in Henderson, near Las Vegas. Wow! They brought down the house!!! They have not skipped a beat. Their new CD is off the hook. It's called World Gone Crazy. I think one of the songs is on YouTube. Check it out. These guys are just the best group ever.

[TheTranslator100]

@jgrell7642 "Their new CD is off the hook."

Wow, is Skylar (bass player) in the CD?1? I remember Skylar (or Skylark, whatever people call the dude) when he used to play in a local club in Monterey with the Roger Eddy band - a very popular contemporary Jazz group in the Monterey area...

[MsGr8teacher]

This is REAL talent, Lady Gaaagaaaah!

[derekb1164018]

The GREATEST band ever formed. They are just phenomenal musicians.

[bassman5648]

was that cornelius bumpus in the background???

[badlander]

@bassman5648 Yep. Dude did great work with the Doobies and (especially) Steely Dan. RIP, Cornelius.

[misterelryano]

What a tough song to play..let alone play and sing. McD is definitely talented.

[daxeboy9]

When I was a little boy I just knew Michael McDonald was a black guy, damn! One of the baddest white boys ever!

[IwasGreatuntlmynjury]

i dont know what mike is talkin about ,but it sounds good

[lorret90]

13 people should,nt be allowed on youtube...

[idonkno2021]

@lorret90 -they should not be allowed to even get on a computer.

[saltifish]

haha.. pretty chinese girls think any western man good, maybe get visa, maybe go live USA

[clintbronson5]

WTF! T.J. & M.M. on the same stage!?! 

[me57487]

Thanks for uploading this!

[judygrell]

CD is called World Gone Crazy - awesome!

[judygrell]

Saw them at Sunset Station (Las Vegas) on June 17, and they drove the huge crowd wild - with or without Michael McDonald, they are true musicians and have not lost ANYthing over time - if anything, they've just gotten better! They have a new CD/DVD out that rocks - 2011! Give it a listen!

[jadillac1181]

@Robot1PlanetTharg you sir are despicable human being. 

[jamesskb]

Repeat twice??? As a washed up guitarist, it's all I can do to repeat it once!! Awesome band!!!

[oldguitardude]

Love the intro!

[MrsMozzie]

Ohhhhhh my these chords are crazzzzzzyyyyyy!!!!! I love this so much!

[cindiloohoo552]

Doobies... told about my life after high school. This was from 1996,...11 years later and we are still 'holding' on ...

[gearloid]

One of my great Doobie favorites! I'm always amazed by the musical talent of this band. I wish they'll find the time to hold a concert tour in the Philippines in the future by timrimas.

[gearloid]

My favorite piece from the Doobies! I wish they are around forever!

[2handsforchrist]

Thanks to my father for introducing me to Michael Mcdonald's music. blue eyed soul at it's absolute best!

[DrunkOnPoppySeeds]

crazy about some woman

[dmandanku]

cool hemiola in the beginning

[Unfreesoul6]

i miss michael jackson in the background of the songs

[dlucy54]

he has white hair, and I love him

[marymac1607]

Saw them in "88 still love them!!!

Love him even with gray hair.

[marymac1607]

Saw them in "88 still love them!!!

[MrGonzorhea]

seeing the chords to this just makes me dizzy... and I consider myself a decent guitar player. Ugh. What beautiful writing!

[Yellowatz]

You should just have a look of those chords "Cmaj7(+13); Cmaj13 ; G 7 sus" show this to some today's music "musician" and he/she will ask you if that is some pc code. :D

[TheTranslator100]

@Yellowatz

Your analogy most likely pertains to today's RAPPERS & HIP-HOPPERS; the uneducated young urban Blacks (or Whites for that matter) who basically recite half-baked poetry and can't sing a lick.

Despite their long hair and drugged-out appearance, many of today's musicians (Malmsteen, Petrucci, Govan, et.al) are well versed in music theory and have attended well respected schools of music, and that dosen't include the school of hard knocks...

[Yellowatz]

@TheTranslator100 Translate me all this in Serbian please...:)

[blueforyou2]

@Yellowatz No sweetie, they would go "DUH" then the crickets would start to chirp!

[Cancon2011]

Just great!

[hittingnote75]

Thank you for the chords.

[keepntyme]

no arguing or comparing just, WOW ! ! ! Enjoy Some Great Music.

[dbdmack]

at 3:39 the horn player looks like he is blaring and yet, you don't hear a horn playing?

[songdance1234]

todays music is crap ... this is the real shit

[MrCaveman366]

whats wrong with paul rudd? this song is pure genious!

[1234a30]

if u listen real real closly can you hear that THATS WHAT REAL MUSIC SOUNS LIKE

[ChornyKlegg]

MAHmood Gadaffi, not the duck, says' hello America!! bombing the Middle East again....although almost certainly many of you don't know exactly where that is but why would you

[SunamiJane]

after Pre3sident Johnson laid down his arms, they drafted in a Scotsman to cleANUP 1) dUNDEE, 7) the so called free world, never mind those crazy Doobie brother peopl.I',m convinced that in spite of working with Brecker and fagin, he was a major cultural attache to be bloomin' proud of, nuff said!!

[rickbrewin]

anyone else notice how annoyed the drummer looks at 3:21? I think he's upset they put him on the elecronics and didn't let him play the acoustic kit.

[downwithdinosaurs]

@rickbrewin I actually noticed this the first time I watched it.. I thought he looked genuinely sick, but what you said makes a lot of sense. Never thought about it like that. At first I wondered if maybe he just hates the song.

[SunamiJane]

there's libyans being bombed, japanese being sunamied on and you want to listen to this drivel, well!

[TheSylish]

@SunamiJane You seem to have time to listen and criticize everyone else for commenting. Perhaps practice what you preach?

[clayrad1]

Oh Yea

[MsKelliLynne]

love it

[krasnyploshad3]

this song, it's all about legs & co from England each and every one of those puppies, yes you have the bomb and you were 'over here' way too late back in the forties but we've got Legs & Co, always did have, so there!....check 'em out, fella

[Chriskkboongg]

Oh, that VOICE!

[stanley12inch]

I'm still sharing this on Facebook, months after I first heard it. The musicianship, the arrangement, pure talent all around - awesome :)

[Change2be1]

This is what you call music the music of today is so negative for our young children not all but alot of it just not good. This is what you call great music!

[SteviJobs]

they wheeled him out to front the band after donjohnsons nose fell off after he got syphhyllis like nietzches and schubert got tooo thats what i heard

[duelly2003]

If I have to hear "Yamo Be There" one more time, I'm going to "Yamo" burn this place to the ground.

[lynchblair]

'girl don't worry, I've been lied to.......' how many times have I said that, not that I'm bitter......

[burtenheimer]

Michael McDonald is lame, totally lame.

[pupnan]

LIKE I keep saying we are blessed to have been here in this era of music,, the crap they dish up today has nothing to offer BUT one could say ye gets what ya pays for & they's a gett'n shit.

[preshtime1]

I love this so much!!! My Mom had this album and played it CONSTANTLY when I was a kid! Lucky me!!

[baj7557]

SING MICHAEL!!!! I love this song!!!

[suwanneeharbor]

the exact timing on this song is 4:20 = doobie bros,,,,whats the chances ? was this a notra damas prediction ?

[nashtndawg]

@ taranis1771 I don't care one bit about that, but someone must care to put Run DMC in the Rock Hall of Fame before the Doobie Brothers...

[easyscore]

Totally GREAT!

[LUKE82603]

iF YOU DON'T GET GOOSE BUMPS, FROZEN NIPPLES OR A HARD ON LISTENING TO THIS, U GOT NO SOUL !@!!

[mssvic88]

[Honkynees]

He's a white warrior of soul... just kidding about the race. He is damn good; saw him in concert last year in Waikiki and he rocked.

[taranis1771]

Who cares what color his skin is? Musical talent transcends all races and creeds. Leave that crap at the door.

[tinapbutler]

Michael Mcdonald has 2 much soul!!!!!

[cisnerosbiz]

That's my friend, Skylark, on the bass. Not an original member, but played with them well!

[MrGonzorhea]

such amazing players, I love this.

[jorge3001able]

/This is the real music, ... what a talent of these guys.

[mrquickpick1]

Rocks!

[douro20]

Couldn't use a real Wurlitzer Electric anymore?

[clyde2fj40]

Awesome. Thanks Michael !!

[2717392]

The first time I heard Michael was in 1978. I was 8. And today is my partner. The funny thing is that I am Chilean. Nothing in common. He was a child, I had good taste in the blood ... hahaha

[TheFrancesca911]

Have always, will always love Michael.....his eyes have it! For me it's the eyes and he's got 'em....with that voice and just yeah!!!

[KuschelbearXL]

Micheal McDonald is the bomb. Love that voice.

[WhiteHouse1037]

One of the Greatest Groups ever. Such ability and variety. And then, Michael's Vocie.

Smooth, controlled and expressive. You can't go wrong. They are the only Doobie's I ever partook in my life.

[mtheoceanlover]

this is heaven to me....the best song, the best voice....he is the best of the best.....

[robbo1324]

Mike u da man, son!!! & that band is crankin'.

[DaleMurph3]

[AaronScoones]

Hey dootsmasta, just following your chords, which is a great addition to a great song!... but I noticed that the intro is a little different... this is what I hear:

Dm7[:C/E>F>F#dim>C/G>G#dim>Am>­G/B>Am/C>C#dim>Dm7:]repeat

cheers!

[aarfeld]

These guys sound better than ever.

[swanzenswanzen]

Pungooer...BEHAVE!!!! Naughty..naughty!!

[guard47]

Classic

[guard47]

Classic

[lorraineedmay]

My, my, what a fantastic band and the Voice of MM is really unique. This band gave me so much joy in my life. Thank you for posting!

[Juniversal]

Love this song and I love that you translated the chord.

[turborota]

With all very due respect i wish he stuck to the original vocal melody especialy in that fantastic bridge harmonies were way lower but ok and id love to hear the real rhodes mike[keyboard] my favourite song so im being fussy check out the 1977 video

[shelleybobelly1]

why does he make me so horny?

[shelleybobelly1]

imagenery boyfriend....

[lactat4]

He had this soulful voice at age 15 back in St Louis. His great success could not have happened to a nicer guy. And his voice will always take me back to my youth. --a friend from The Castaway.

[airuok]

Thanks for the chords!

[StangoDango]

Michael makes me wet my pants every time he sings. SMDH I mean that in the good way. His eyes still make me melt. They will need to get the jaws of life to detach me from hugging him to death. lol 

[tmac1812]

To LadyRBlues......The Doobie Brothers are alive and well.They just did a concert in Chicago this year.In fact this video is posted on Youtube.They will be releasing there latest album in 10 years on September 28,2010.We have lost a few members of the band over the years,but Tom Johnston and Patrick Simmons are doing well.Don't these guys ever age???Thankd for posting this video.

[Xoriat]

You gotta respect Tom Johnston for sharing the role of lead singer with McDonald. Tom was, after all, the original lead before he was essentially replaced. It's also funny how the band dresses like its still '75 except McDonald...

[Change2be]

Loves some Michael McDonald

[LadyRBlues]

what ever happened to this band??

[GOOBANETER]

I love his voice...is so angelic!

[emmyvic22]

What a voice.. I'll never tire of hearing it.

[MarkAnthonyLentine]

God I love you Mike. May God Bless your 78 year-old butt...or however old that one nut thought you were....much love....Greetings from John Daly land....

[MarkAnthonyLentine]

God I love you Mike. May God Bless your 78 year-old butt...or however old that one nut thought you were....much love....

[waltonfan32]

Why isn't this song voted the best song on earth?

[ThePatriot0311]

Todays "music" has nothing on this era of talent. NOTHING!

[justme68127]

@ThePatriot0311 Amen I totally agree

[rcangel2010]

@ThePatriot0311 ~~ total understatement. they're not even worthy of carrying these guys' luggage.

[fab4crazystill]

@ThePatriot0311 Amen !! This is my era.....can't nobody hold a candle to it !!! Love the fact that I grew up knowing the Real music !!

[deneyael]

Ye gods. Like EWF - memories of my childhood discovering real music. AW! YEAH!

[Syndicat3]

I do not possess the ability to criticize this musical masterpiece. Apparently 10 people have this rare ability.

[KAAHU1000]

saw him in NZ has the hottest voice round!!!!!!!!!!!come back to NZ Michael

[80ssounds]

[sakanaru]

[richkeene1954]

nice attempt at the chord changes, doots... but we need to see it written out in 12/8

[tmg1968]

We have Lee DeWyze and Adam Lambert now (:P
