This was and always will be Tom's band. I love Michael M, but their unique sound was the result of Tom's songwriting.Without him they are a blue-eyed soul singer's backing band--which I ALSO love, by the way, only one bearing precious little relation to The Doobie Brothers.
Great song, have liked it since I first heard it as a single in '74. Great performance too, Tom Johnston sounds good, but the steel drumming sound on this is irritating. Listen to the original with John Hartman and Michael Hossack on drums and you'll see what I mean.
Oh how I miss the rhythm guitar that closes out the album version! The sax player is great here, but I so love the tight rhythms of the studio version.
Albums. Album covers. Colored vinyl discs. Tri-fold double albums. Marantz stereo receiver. Jensen speakers. Saving up $25 to buy a really good stylus. Getting the "magnetic" record cleaner. Record shops. My kids will never know what they missed. Probably why they borrow all my Beatles, Zepplin and Who and the oldest is 14.
@frankrizzo51 do you remember which group(s) put out those colored discs? i remember all those things you mention! yup it's an experience we will remember but not today's generation. too bad.
@jaytotheell I know ELO had one for Out of the Blue. I think STYX had one with the Pieces of Eight cover on the disc itself. I also believe Meat Loaf had a picture disc for Bat out of Hell. I'm going to try to research this since I'm going nuts about it!!
Can someone post the studio version? This song so clearly reveals the magic that was so prevalent in the music of the 70's. Thanks to the Doobies forever!
True California sound at it's best. One of my all time favorites. It just makes you want to sit in the park or lay on the beach and watch all the people go by.
My all time favorite song from my all time favorite group. The very first album I bought in '72 was Captain and Me and I've been hooked on the Doobies ever since. Looking forward to seeing them at the Missouri State Fair on August 12th!
This song is for Sue (I think that's her name). Eastern Stu working out'a Atlanta or Miami, flew from LA to Dallas where she deplaned into the foggy mist of memories and I went back to Jackson, MS. But she was a kindred soul, I was married at the time (for 'bout 10 more months, if that!) and played it straight and didn'ttry to start anything. Wish I had. So Sue Somebody fm '74, still remember you and hope that you're doing well and are happy. Just think about you from from time to time!
What a beautiful song. I keep gravitating to this classic. Growing up in the seventies. It was a wonderful time for Rock and Roll and being alive. Plan on seeing the DB this August at the Missouri state fair.
Sirwob, WTF??? Why bash Michael McDonald? Why can't Tom Johnston AND MM be talented performers? It sure seemed to work out pretty well for everyone concerned, and all made ALOT of money on the talents of both men. Why be a hater?
One of the Doobies Bros most soothing songs-and one of my faves- this live performance was pretty good-I usually try to find the studio version- but this will suffice-The lead singer still looks and sounds great-
WOw. what an amazing band! No wonder they are in ny top 10 all time bands. Their music is well written, arranged, prodcued and performed. LIsten to all the chord progression and changes. This band is not your one trick pony band playing only 4 chords..
This is my all-time favorite Doobie Brothers song, the one I consider their best. Patrick Simmons is a good songwriter but I think Tom Johnston was the best writer in the group. This is a very nice live version.
@sheddski Cure for cancer? The government will never allow it...people die, decrease the surface population and never receive their social security checks. I guess they should have cured it when they cured Polio.
@jc9ball Got the studio version on that old media called vinyl bud. Not sure how I can download it to You Tube for you though from that lol! Take care dude, great music never dies. I think that those of us who can live with popular music from the late 50's to late 70's are very priviledged. We have seen the best of the genre and I am 45 but listened to my dad's and uncles music. My uncle had over 2000 records ranging from Elvis and Howlin Wolf through the Beatles, The Stones, The Byrds etc
@jc9ball Crosby Stills and Nash, The Eagles, James Taylor, Creedence, Janis Joplin, Doobies and Jackson Browne. All first editions, He sadly passed away in 2000 but I have told his sons - My cousins Jason and Lee - "Keep your dads record collection very safe as it is worth a fortune!!!". They know that and have inherited the rich love of all music that my uncle Marty had. XXXX
I was 10 years old in 1975 and a dreadfully unhappy child. Although I was good at sports and popular I just did not fit in at all. I spent my time learning to play the guitar and piano and listening to my fathers records, the Doobies and Eagles. Another boy put a rumour around that I was queer so I took him out and gave him a kicking. It turned out that he had been bullied for being gay - we became great friends and I looked after him as I was big for my age.
@MrWavedude102 It is strange I agree. Never really understood why they had 2 drummers. One of them is percussion, but it still makes a great sound eh buddy? Share the love :) XX
@MrWavedude102 Maybe they were having auditions and had a few spliffs and thought "Hey you guys are both really good, lets just have a blast with both of you" Ha ha. Love and Peace
Fall of 1975, parking and making out with Linda down by the swimming pool. What a Fall that was. This always motivated me during cross-country season! Great tune and especially LIVE!
When I am down in out I listen to the Doobies!!! They are the best!!! I have seen them in concert since the 70's so many times & have never been disappointed --they keep me on my feet & still rockin until this day!!! The 70's had the best bands & thank God we have passed it down to our kids!!!
rock and roll hall of fame in my heart,,,they should look at all the views on here ,,,, Great harmonies, great percussion,,great bass,,,what else do they want...o ya the horns sound great too
When things start to add stress to my life this brings to a level playing field. This rythem of music will never die. Long live ROCK AND ROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember my oldest brother coming back from Fort Bragg in North Carolina when Nixon had stop the Vietnam conflict and my brother bringing his Pioneer receiver and Garrard turntable and listening to this. To me CCR and Dobbie Brothers Tom Johnston have similarities. I agree with others and wish that rap would go away it has no business as pop music. It's true to many performers and no real musicians of this beloved craft.
One of their lesser known masterpieces. Today there are no more "Musicians" in the Music. Fantastic vocals. Thanks for posting. Im breakin out my LP's.
Rap hangs on like a Cancer for a few simple reasons. 1.) There is NO
instrument to Master. 2.) ANY Moron can do it. 3.) 90% of the success of
ANY Rap song is directly proportional to the amount of Scantily-Clad-females shaking parts of their bodies their Parents would slap the shit out of them for. 4.) Un-Educated and/or Poorly Educated people are easily entertained. 5.) Fast/Quick easy $. Does'nt require Yrs. of practice for
perfection, refinement. Think, Fine Wine vs Wine from a box.
this is a great, well written, well performed tune...and ya, I'm with you guys....Rap is a nightmare....for some reason they want to call themselves musicians....Don't figure...for all of you who love good ol' rock and roll with some blues influence ( like the doobies ) check out " Joe Bonamassa....Great musician and writer...
My older brother had the "What were once vices are now habits" album. I used to sneak into his room and thrash this track and the "Tell me what you want..". I still love it ..takes me back.
Marco Paiva, anywhere? This song reminds me of YOU! Edwards AFB, 1974. I love this song and the memories I that come sailing to mind. Beautiful breezy song... Thank you, Doobies!!! I love you (sans Michael McDonald(!!!
Strange I should come across this video and see the thread.......I downloaded the album thinking about a high school crush who had found me after 30 years.......This was great music, made when people actually wrote songs.
Nah, the sax is cool...not overstated. And I'm a guitar player. They've played this song, what, 10^6 times? Mix it up. Whatever it was, these guys had their finger on the pulse.
Reminds me of when my brother brought a Pioneer receiver and a Garrard turntable when he came back from the Army in 1973 sounded great then and even better now. Tom Johnston great voice!
I LOVE the sax! This is a prime example of why a good band is better live! They do different arrangements....different solos....yet they rock even BETTER!
After watching these vids.....makes me reflect back to the days when artist and their music was in it's pureist forms. (Doobies, Chicago and many more )
There's days when I wake up and wish all these Rap artist and other wanna be's would just go away. Ya know.....like it was a bad dream
@1tallguy49 Its not a bad dream man it is here to stay unfortunately. People will always bang their garden furniture together and create a song that gets in the charts. But there will always be great music like the Doobies and Chicago and Boston and The Eagles. Keep the Faith XX
I think over a life time you can develop true love for many people. It isn't just about a "life partners" or "soul mates" etc. You can truely love your children, parents, siblings, and close friends. Even pets! (seriously!) You can even truely love someone who doesn't love you back (unfortunately). It's sad that people rarely develop true love for themselves. IMHO
Peggy S in high school was VERY cute, but for me it was all about my heart and not about my "part"! ;-)
@JohnLRice Crap...I certainly don't love my internet browser-I had constructed a very well improvised and eloquent response, but it seems that my computer had different plans for said response-maybe I'll reply later, sigh*....
37 years for me. All the times then I loved. The early 70's. I enlisted in 75', and kissed my girl goodbye, we promised each other we'd meet sep 1st, '79. I never saw her face again.
Dedicated to my Dad, That past away 1983.. He was very cool down an to earth, Skiing, Fishing, Camping Buddy, Never thought he leave.. Love and Peace Always
ninteen, living the life in evergreen co. nights at tulagi's on the hill in boulder, the doobie bros., everytime they were there. though skylark's an admirable bass player, i miss tiran porter on bass. he asked me out the first time they played there, but i had a boyfriend. he was a gentleman about it. in their early days, anyway. i recall going back home to boston raving about them to my friends who didn't hear about them until a year later.
Remember those wonderful afternoons back in 70's with my friends in AQP, PERU listening to the Doobs, Cat Stevens, Seals & Crofts, Grand Funk....man, how I miss them.
Didn't know the world would turn out to be so fucked up.
YOU SAID IT !!! Ya, I miss those days too. What a mess this world is in, huh? Well, maybe if there are more people out there who would just want LOVE & PEACE - we'll all see a bright light in the near future !
hey starlitblond, god, the picture of you that i have hed in my mind ever since i heard this song...gives me goose bumps just thinking of what your smile has ment to me for so many years...thanks beautiful one !
I didn't hear this song until the spring of 1977. I was a HS senior and heard the song before school in the morning. This song got me so stoked that I placed third in a 400m even though I was in the 2nd heat. I guess it opened all my chakras! LOL
Just remember this next time you think your parents are old fogies. This '70's band rocked way back then, and STILL DO! Ahhh, the good 'ole days...they even sounded great without all the HD/Digital sound enhancement. You young 'uns have it so easy! ^_^
this IS the best song!!!! what a classic! they don't make music like that these days.. kind of sucks if you don't mind me saying.. That Tom is such a great singer and guitarist.
Keith Knudsen's position has been filled by Ed Toth. Ed was in the band, "Vertical Horizon" that had a hit called, "You're a God." I think this replacement is appropriate, since Keith himself came from Lee Michaels, who was another one hit wonder. Of course, I'm sure we all miss Keith.
My all time favorite band. Saw them on the best of all possible tours in about 1975 or 76 with the Memphis horns, Skunk, Michael McDonald and Tom Johnson. I would love to see them again
This is an AWESOME live version of Another Park Another Sunday. I had the studio version of this first on a 45 record, back in the 70s, for the turntable. The Doobie Brothers have A TON of excellent material. This is one of their finest. Recording + Performing together for years, they are a class act. The harmony in their voices, the instrumentals, the two drum sets, etc. are all outstanding. The saxophone finale in this live video starting at about 4:06 is amazing. Thank you for posting this.
This is a true doobie tune!!! A big fan since the seventies can you Imagine hoe I felt when I met them finally at the Ambassador hotel in Amarillo!! Took Tom to the Dr for his carpel tunnel, Took them to a friends restaurant and to movies. They spent a whole week in Amarillo in "95" I worked at the hotel...
Every contemporary 'musician' should be forced to watch this -- proceeded by assuming the fetal position, sucking their thumb and wetting themselves -- take that Disney
This was and always will be Tom's band. I love Michael M, but their unique sound was the result of Tom's songwriting.Without him they are a blue-eyed soul singer's backing band--which I ALSO love, by the way, only one bearing precious little relation to The Doobie Brothers.

Strange I should come across this video and see the thread.......I downloaded the album thinking about a high school crush who had found me after 30 years.......This was great music, made when people actually wrote songs.

Nah, the sax is cool...not overstated. And I'm a guitar player. They've played this song, what, 10^6 times? Mix it up. Whatever it was, these guys had their finger on the pulse.

Reminds me of when my brother brought a Pioneer receiver and a Garrard turntable when he came back from the Army in 1973 sounded great then and even better now. Tom Johnston great voice!

I LOVE the sax! This is a prime example of why a good band is better live! They do different arrangements....different solos....yet they rock even BETTER!

@1tallguy49 Its not a bad dream man it is here to stay unfortunately. People will always bang their garden furniture together and create a song that gets in the charts. But there will always be great music like the Doobies and Chicago and Boston and The Eagles. Keep the Faith XX

@Boghman22
I think over a life time you can develop true love for many people. It isn't just about a "life partners" or "soul mates" etc. You can truely love your children, parents, siblings, and close friends. Even pets! (seriously!) You can even truely love someone who doesn't love you back (unfortunately). It's sad that people rarely develop true love for themselves. IMHO
Peggy S in high school was VERY cute, but for me it was all about my heart and not about my "part"! ;-)

ninteen, living the life in evergreen co. nights at tulagi's on the hill in boulder, the doobie bros., everytime they were there. though skylark's an admirable bass player, i miss tiran porter on bass. he asked me out the first time they played there, but i had a boyfriend. he was a gentleman about it. in their early days, anyway. i recall going back home to boston raving about them to my friends who didn't hear about them until a year later.

I didn't hear this song until the spring of 1977. I was a HS senior and heard the song before school in the morning. This song got me so stoked that I placed third in a 400m even though I was in the 2nd heat. I guess it opened all my chakras! LOL

Keith Knudsen's position has been filled by Ed Toth. Ed was in the band, "Vertical Horizon" that had a hit called, "You're a God." I think this replacement is appropriate, since Keith himself came from Lee Michaels, who was another one hit wonder. Of course, I'm sure we all miss Keith.

My all time favorite band. Saw them on the best of all possible tours in about 1975 or 76 with the Memphis horns, Skunk, Michael McDonald and Tom Johnson. I would love to see them again

This is an AWESOME live version of Another Park Another Sunday. I had the studio version of this first on a 45 record, back in the 70s, for the turntable. The Doobie Brothers have A TON of excellent material. This is one of their finest. Recording + Performing together for years, they are a class act. The harmony in their voices, the instrumentals, the two drum sets, etc. are all outstanding. The saxophone finale in this live video starting at about 4:06 is amazing. Thank you for posting this.
