[crlaw75]

Nice that younger people are dancing to this.

[romanticrecluse]

I love Robbie Dupree. He is a legend in his own right and his music will live forever.

[romanticrecluse]

Fabulous Robbie!!! Great upload in every sense of the word. Thank you for listing!!

[arose400]

Great video...thanks for posting!

[jayah2007]

OMG ......... just doing a trip down memory lane and found this video. I have Robbie DuPree's original album from 1980, he's just as good as he was back 30 years ago.

[akira5150]

sad stage...

[myklstarr]

YES!!

I want to see some of these so called artist today try to sing live in about 20 years and still sound relevant. Today's teenagers are in for a big surprise when they get older and realize their favorite artist were just fluff for record companies and not real musicians at all!!

[hotgirlie23]

two words: Yacht rock.

[Mp25DIII]

Is that the same guitarist from his 1980 video (red shirt)?

[seadawgie]

What a great song! I listened to it a lot in Okinawa, while dreaming of my girlfriend back in the states. When I got back I was in a new town "Dumpsville" population me?

These songs help you get over the hurt and I love them.

[shell19491]

@seadawgie Oh man, that musta been rough! I hope now that your life is full of love, and found someone that cares! Iam reminicing i always liked Robbie Dupree,, you have a good night sir!

[fridaythe13thpartx]

Love it or hate it this song is still a league above all the uninspired,machine voxed crap that passes for music today.

When we live in an age where paris hilton can release a hit album,I look back at the 70's and early 80's and pray for either a time machine or a bolt of lightening from god himself to put an end to modern music!

[MrDeerecub1977]

still has the voice

[ElSatansucks]

what happened to the videos of robbie d. singing this song back in the day?

[professor439601]

The band is very professional and Robbie is keeping his voice well. Jim the recording is done well, very good audio, thank for posting!!

[pma3568]

It is similar to what a fool believes but stands on its own. both songs are good and i like them both

[tgnomechaser]

your point is absolutely correct....

but, there is difference between "inspiration" and just plain "rip off".....this song is melody for melody, lyrics, and even fake micheal mcdonnald back up vocals....go type in what a fool believes and you will see

[clamdraggin]

@tgnomechaser I really like this song but I swear for the longest time I thought

Michael McDonald was singing on it .Rip off or not ...it seem an almost exact copy

of the Doobies. If it is a rip off...hey at least

they picked a really good band to rip off.

[tgnomechaser]

this song is a total WHAT A FOOL BELIEVES by Doobie Brothers rip off.....

[dct1944]

@tgnomechaser :

It's probably because Michael McDonald sang background vocals and played keyboards on the album. If anything, Robbie's a little flat-probably can't hear himself over the amps.

[Ariamaluum]

I heard this during my last month in summer school and the start of 2nd grade when my parents picked me up from school.

[Grandhoohah]

Summer of 1980.....what a time to be alive and be able to hear music like this on the radio!

[crlaw75]

It is nice that younger people are dancing to this kind of music.

[bassmanjoe]

Still sings very well!!!! YEAH!!!!

[smilesawaityou]

this amateur recording at a gig where there are no acoustics, where there is wind, where the mix is waaay off, and where dupree sounds as good as his recording of this song says a shitload about what a pure instrument he has in his voice. He nails almost every note in horrible circumstances. Bitchen to hear this again.

[jim32034]

Been called many things ... "amateur" is not one of them. Used a Sony minicam to shoot it. Horrible circumstances ... no, the sound stage is one of the best for a festival our size. But you are right, he sounds as good as he always has.

[smilesawaityou]

Sorry. No offense intended....I'm sure your camera is a good one, and it picked up the sound really well. And you did a good job. But this is not a professionally recorded concert. Nonetheless, thanks very much for the good job you did and for the posting. It's an important addition to youtube.

[Looking1231]

Never have seen Robbie Dupree live but after seeing this I may be so inclined if he ever comes back to Florida. He sounds in fine form.

[traywilson]

still sounds great - thanks for posting!

[islezeus]

OMG so many old people all in one place. I hope no one ran out of bengay

[jim32034]

funny ... you don't know what you're missing. If you live long enough, you may find out.

[islezeus]

i was only teasing... I like Robbie Dupree's work, especially this song, a lot

[alisterfolson]

@jim32034 Exactly! I thought the same when I was younger...now I'm 42, still young(?) but...if you're lucky to live that long...good on ya

[alisterfolson]

@jim32034 Exactly! I thought the same when I was younger...now I'm 42, still young(?) but...if you're lucky to live that long...good on ya

@mykistarr...you are so right, damn striaght!

[fattkattz55]

how many of you were alive lol that was funny...

[Frannie69]

Come on and hold me just like you told me,

Then show me what I want to know,

Why don't we steal away, Why don't we steal away into the night,

I know it ain't right.

Tease me, Why don't you please me,

Then show me what you came here for.

Why don't we steal away,

Why don't we steal away into the night....

Robbie Dupree is smooth, eh!!!!!!!!

[bigtwnvin]

Sounding good Robbie. Jesus we made some great music back then! Be well.

[masalovesrobbie]

Thank you so much for posting this video.

What month of 2009 is this ?

I'm crazy about Robbie !

[thomasch627]

Usually happens in April. I live in Fernandina Beach and I have been going to it for 8 years now. And I love every minute of it.

[thomasch627]

I mean the first weekend of may...

[jim32034]

Each first weekend in May.

[wackernie2009]

Two true gems! Thank you, JimmyDigits!

[lenegue22]

brings back a lot of memories.. i love this song!=)

[ryflo]

Whats funny is this sng is stil better than most today

[skunkus1]

oh by far, the 70's had a staple sound for it's time. I believe Michael Mcdonald was the original in the part of this song who sang "no second chances tonight, whyyyyyyy dont you".

[briabba123]

I love this song

[darann99]
