The only black people i saw at a Doobie Brothers concert was the Bass Player and the black guys scalping tickets and selling tee shirts in the parking lot
Greatest show of all time! It had everything, soul,style, social consciousness . Hollywood took more risk in the 70,80 and 90 . Now everything is just the latest vanilla generic fall lineup.
This was the show that turned me on to The Doobie Brothers when I was like 12!!!!!! Just saw them last weekend.....Patrick Simmons did the lead in Taking it...and their base player....Not Tyrone....did the high end....AWESOME!!!
Too bad they didn't record Dwayne screaming "HELP!" and everyone covering their ears in shock. Then they hear Big Al talking to them afterwards on the tape. Guess they didn't need the latter part there.
I heard that when the cameras stopped rolling that 2 of the Doobie Bros. jumpd on Roger and beat the living hell out of him. Finally the show producer broke it up and explain to the band that Rerun taping the show was part of the script.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i wish michael mcdonald had left the doobies and remained a permanent cast member of what's happening. he ruined one of the best american bands of all time
micheal mcdonald AND re-reun ? i will give you 100 bucks if you can pair a more unlikely pair. ever. johnny carson/andrew dice ? phillys diller/arnold schwarzeneger ? charlie chaplin/rosie o'donnel ?
I remember watching this when it originally aired. I was in first grade, and my cousin had come by, and we watched it together, with my Mom. I also remember my grandfather criticizing the long hair on some of the Doobies :) That alone still cracks me up.
I remember watching this episode when it originally aired also. It is the episode that immediately comes to mind when I think of the show. I also saw a reunion show with the cast where most of them agreed that this was also their favorite episode.
@wheelinthesky300 You also have to keep in mind at that time their song Takin' It To The Streets had some airplay on R&B radio as well as Pop, and when Michael McDonald joined the Doobies they went to a slighty R&B/Pop direction from Pop/Rock.
Yeah, well, I was a suburban black girl who liked just about anything by the Doobie Brothers in the early '80's----obviously they must have had enough of a strong black fan base at the time to convince their label to get them on this show,due to classics like "Minute By Minute", "Takin' It' to To The Streets", and "Real Love". I know "Minute By Minute" in particular has always gotten strong airplay on R&B/Jazz stations hear in the D, plus all of McDonald's solo work as well
Does anyone remember the 7-Up commercial from the late 70's/early 80's featuring a guy who looked kinda like Raj sitting watching a pick-up basketball game? He is asked to join in and ends up dominating the game. The commercial ends with him making a shot over his shoulder with his back to the basket.
I saw on a post about Jeff "Skunk" Baxter walking with a cane and a limp. I didn't notice it until now. He must have had some kind of condition. I have seen other posts of him with the Doobs and he is sitting down. Ex: the Vices LP. But he is talented and was an asset to the group.
The Doobie Brothers solved crimes! Who knew! And Dunbar would have gotten away with it too if it was not for those meddling kids! When I was young it made sense they solved crimes this way! LOL! Rockstars making arrests.
I know it just TV but why sit in the front roll and try to record. But the point got across and the What's Happening gang saved the day. Dee was a bad mama jamma and always could handle her own. So was my girl Shirley. The ironic thing about when I watch What's Happening, I could always find somebody around my neighborhood who reminds me of the charaters or act like them even down to Rod, the dude that owner of the shop.
Hey: Do any of you hardcore Doobie Brothers fans know what was up with Jeff Skunk Baxter's leg in this episode? I thought it was weird that we was playing while sitting down. But then in the soda shop scene he's walking with a cane and a noticeable limp. Anyone? Thx.
Thank you. I thought I was the only one who thought that. And why take the big fat tape recorder? They had smaller ones in the 1970s so they could have taken another one. And wouldn't the thieves want a more professional sound and not a wobbly tape.
I saw this episode when it originally aired. I loved the shows of the 70's, Whats Happening, Chico and The Man, Barney Miller, etc...classic stuff. It's strange to me how people think that TV has just now begun to become controversial and socially conscience. The 70's shows were much more socially conscience than most of the shows today. The shows of the 80's were primarily fluff. Btw, this was the best time for music as a broad media. All stations played all music, as long as it was good.
The tv shows of the 70's were very concious, they talked about racism, women's rights, etc. they even said the words nigger, kite, jew, spik. but it was allin good fun. Nowdays, everyone isso uptight and paranoid about everything, you can't say anything anymore.
@tom11zz884 Back in the 70s, words were allowed into scripts because of the progressive nature of social change and awareness that was prevalent during that time period. They were allowed in order to point out the numerous inequalities that existed between rich, poor, black and white etc....I don't agree that it was used in good fun. They were used as a means of pointing out the unjust nature that many people had to endure in society as a whole.
@Flashbacks01 I agree. I look forward now to seeing films, and tv from the 70s. At least you could watch TV and listen to music back then and get no surprises. Now every other word on TV is bleeped out, and the music sounds like somone keeps running over the same cat 100 times over! Have you noticed the deluge of "reality tv" here of late? No imagination in production or writing for Tv anymore. Most of the actors today can't seem to act their way out of a paperbag.
@Flashbacks01 You are so right about the TV shows & the music industry. SMDH If you weren't alive during the 70s you missed music at its best and has yet to peak like that again. lol
@Flashbacks01 I was not born in the 70s but i love this show, I'm one of those people who love to learn about pop culture before mine, so I know all about these shows and stuff like that. Nice to know that people still care about the old stuff
thx for posting these vids on youtube this was when shows had more of a real feeling .not like this crap that's on tv now!don't get me wrong there is some quality show on but not many.
I always liked the the doobie brothers music when Micheal Mcdonald was in the group the music was way more funky plus this was the 70's my favorite era of music everybody was jamming then.
There was nothing ODD about 3 black kids liking the Doobies. We just identify with SOUL. Kenny Loggins "This Is It", Bobby Caldwell "What You Won't Do For Love"...all that was played on Black radio when it released. You must be young or live in a cave or hang around people that are just like you.
This was music piracy waayyyy before the internet. RIP Re Run! I always thought that it was odd though that 3 black kids were sooo into the Doobie Brothers.
Actually that's not true. The Percussionist Bobby Lakind (0.34) died in the mid 90s due to cancer. The other drummer Keith Knudsen died In 2006 or 7 due to chronic pneumonia. There is no record of any Doobie that died due to a drug overdose.
As a child of the 70's, the radio stations playes ALL types of music in the black inner cities. Soul,jazz,rock,country,heavy,folk,disco, afro-cuban/rican/brazilian,etc...The Doobie BROTHERS was the sh_t in the inner cities. You would be surprised of the musical tastes of black folk born btwn '55'-'75'.
@Trezuru why are you seriously explaining the position of black inner city radio stations to this 'person'. It was obviously meant as an insult. Stupidity at it's best.
I grew up listening to this music and will take it any day over today's music. I keep this in heavy rotation in my cd player! The Doobie Brothers Forever baby!
Keith Knudsen, Bobby LaKind, and Corneilius Bumpus are no longer with us. Neither are ReRun (Fred Berry), Shirley (Hemphill) and Mrs. Thomas (Mabel King). Mabel died from diabeties complications. However, being the trooper that she was, she still wanted to work. Though her legs were amputated, she still went to several casting calls.
what did rerun drop? looked like an i pod 400 gb ...... i think that thing can hold 10 billion songs. and still have room to store your records.....lol. I am looking to sell a dash mount detachable faceplate record player, i have the attatchment that will also allow for 45's it has wood trim and looks great in a lexus with the leather trim. I bought it off a guy who goes by "old skool datty" doesnt do very well with bumps but neither do 8 tracks and cd and dvd's.
Livin' on the Fault Line didn't do to well in its sales. This episode to me saved The Doobie Brothers' career. They would later release Minute by Minute which sold a lot of copies. I saw them in November 1980 on the One Step Closer tour at the Carolina Coliseum in Columbia, SC. Louisiana's LeRoux opened. Did anyone else see the One Step Closer tour? Please reply if you did.
I'm 26 and love classic rock. Got Takin' It To the Streets yesterday. It's awesome!! Very funky and jazzy. Also Have the Captain & ME. Different flavor and, yet, still awesome! Only recently have I discovered the magic of the Doobies
The guitarist-turned-defense-consultant does regular work for the Department of Defense and the nations intelligence community, chairs a congressional advisory board on missile defense, and has lucrative consulting contracts with companies like Science Applications International Corp., Northrop Grumman Corp. and General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc. He says he is in increasing demand for his unconventional views of counterterrorism.
Yep, that's true. I personally think he's a hero for taking the time to protect us. He doesn't have to and he obviously doesn't care if any of his liberal cotemporaries deride him for it. A great musician and a true patriot. Learn from him!
It's cool to see guys I know as musicians "acting." It seems they get lines according to how well (or badly) they act. John Hartman, who you can't even see while they're playing, gets a lot of lines, while Michael MacDonald gets only ONE short one! The other guys are Keith Knudsen (now deceased), Jeff Baxter, Tiran Porter, Pat Simmons and Bobby LaKind (also now deceased) who wasn't even officially part of the band for several years after this!
Granted, Rerun may have acted illegally but the Doobie Brothers are the real "lowlifes" preaching to Rob and Rerun in that manner. The band act as victims but they scared Rob so much that he wet his pants.
Al Dunbar is just a shrewd businessman who likes his filet mignon serving a need the arrogant Doobie Brothers have neglected.
Lucky for them it was just a tape recorder and not the loaded Glock that Rob was packing.
Love this espiodse. As a grade school kid, i automatically became a dobbie brothers fan just by watching this. Dobbie was the first rock band i became a huge fan of.
I remember this episode!

@Trezuru why are you seriously explaining the position of black inner city radio stations to this 'person'. It was obviously meant as an insult. Stupidity at it's best.

Keith Knudsen, Bobby LaKind, and Corneilius Bumpus are no longer with us. Neither are ReRun (Fred Berry), Shirley (Hemphill) and Mrs. Thomas (Mabel King). Mabel died from diabeties complications. However, being the trooper that she was, she still wanted to work. Though her legs were amputated, she still went to several casting calls.

I am looking to sell a dash mount detachable faceplate record player, i have the attatchment that will also allow for 45's it has wood trim and looks great in a lexus with the leather trim.

Livin' on the Fault Line didn't do to well in its sales. This episode to me saved The Doobie Brothers' career. They would later release Minute by Minute which sold a lot of copies. I saw them in November 1980 on the One Step Closer tour at the Carolina Coliseum in Columbia, SC. Louisiana's LeRoux opened. Did anyone else see the One Step Closer tour? Please reply if you did.

I'm 26 and love classic rock. Got Takin' It To the Streets yesterday. It's awesome!! Very funky and jazzy. Also Have the Captain & ME. Different flavor and, yet, still awesome! Only recently have I discovered the magic of the Doobies

The guitarist-turned-defense-consultant does regular work for the Department of Defense and the nations intelligence community, chairs a congressional advisory board on missile defense, and has lucrative consulting contracts with companies like Science Applications International Corp., Northrop Grumman Corp. and General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc. He says he is in increasing demand for his unconventional views of counterterrorism.
deerhunter45628 3 years ago
Well, the Doobies had more than one guitarist
JIF882 3 years ago
Yep, that's true. I personally think he's a hero for taking the time to protect us. He doesn't have to and he obviously doesn't care if any of his liberal cotemporaries deride him for it. A great musician and a true patriot. Learn from him!

I loved Dee. She was so young to be so sarcastic. Also what I liked about those days is that kids were dressed like kids.

They dresser her that way because she was developing early, and they covered her up.

It's cool to see guys I know as musicians "acting." It seems they get lines according to how well (or badly) they act. John Hartman, who you can't even see while they're playing, gets a lot of lines, while Michael MacDonald gets only ONE short one! The other guys are Keith Knudsen (now deceased), Jeff Baxter, Tiran Porter, Pat Simmons and Bobby LaKind (also now deceased) who wasn't even officially part of the band for several years after this!

I heard Rerun also recorded "One Night in Paris".

Granted, Rerun may have acted illegally but the Doobie Brothers are the real "lowlifes" preaching to Rob and Rerun in that manner. The band act as victims but they scared Rob so much that he wet his pants.
Al Dunbar is just a shrewd businessman who likes his filet mignon serving a need the arrogant Doobie Brothers have neglected.
Lucky for them it was just a tape recorder and not the loaded Glock that Rob was packing.
JLMCNAMARA 3 years ago
Preaching? Arrogant? Looks to me like they were simply telling Rerun and them like it is. Wrong. Illegal. PERIOD.
