  • I wonder if McDonald ever thought about using just for men beard dye. He could totally be the spokesman for that company. For a guy in his 60's his beard is epic.....just saying

  • That's bitchin' man. Love it.

  • Hate to get crotchety but damn you just don't hear quality like that anymore.

  • @niltomega you just are NOT looking in the right places, with respect.

  • @leeboysouth

    I remember never having to look for it. It played on my radio.

    And that's my point.

  • @niltomega true indeed! Radio is super suckin' these days!

  • i wonder if mcdonald uses norelco, or shick... I bet you he actually uses his bare hands to groom his face. he strikes me as a rugged outdoorsy type who would totes do that.

    just saying.

  • I saw these guys Twice on this tour! Once at Chicago Fest and another time @ Alpine Valley in E. Troy WI.  One word... Phenomenal !!!

  • When i listen to this song,i imagine myself as a "VIP Guest" to Hugh Heffner's playboy mansion. I imagine strolling through the beautiful gardens of his mansions,gazing in awe and wonder at the rare exotic albino tigers on display while feeding the macaws apple & cucumber kebabs. Meanwhile a pretty waitress serves me a pinacolada while I get "down to business" having sex with the bikini clad porn stars on the green lawns while party guests clap as I do her doggy style to the beat of this song !!

  • The Real Video. And I actually smoked a doobie watching this in 1979.

  • release osama

    its that good

  • My very concert...the Doobie Brothers....1978...I remember when Michael McDonald opened his mouth I nearly fell over. I couldn't get over the richness of his vocals. Awesome!

  • Mcdonalds beard is epic. Jus sayin

  • My new Drink SmoothyDoobie.. I have this Show on my other Comp..Great Show.

  • the doobie bros are cool!

  • i BET YOU that if mcdonald got into a street brawl with all the members of TOTO. that mcdonald would totally whip their asses. I mean, if things got ill, im sure the doobies would reign a shit storm down on toto. but STILL i think mcdonald would have problem with them

  • Michael McDonald, my personal GOD - his voice, his eyes, his voice, his hair - woof -

    what a singer and performer - 

  • My wife has longer hair

  • @ronaldvanderkleij Your wife's reall a MAN.

  • can't cut off a song. beginning or end. just wrong. dont have it dont post

  • @1benvideo Right on dude!!!

  • This is the crap you get when very possibly the best ever West Coast guitar band sells its soul.

  • His Hand Never Exited the Moog

  • Awesome voice. One of the greatest vocalists of all time. Fantastic song! His falsetto-style vocal delivery like gold to the ears.

  • The best of the song captured!!!! The wise man has the power ... I always loved the guitarist with that long hair..So cool!!! yea..lol..

  • Hi, I made a House Music remix/remake of this song :) danceisafeeling[DOT]com/blog/m­usic/102

  • you know, i hear mcdonald is taking it easy these days - he moved to clifton hill recently and lives off the royalties he mistakenly receives for all chocolate sundaes sold on the south island of new zealand. i saw him only last sunday, in fact, brunching at the Fitz, counting the dobermans as they passed. I almost said hello but, hell, why open that old can of worms...

  • I wonder what McDonald is doing for X-MAS. You know this is his favorite time of the year. I can totally imagine him wearing a red velvet robe, sitting by the fireplace, with swams of skantily clothed bitches refilling his conac in his oversized glass. Its good to be McDonald.

    Happy Holidays!!

  • I think McDonald should play the bad guy in Broadway's Spiderman Turn out the Lights. With his glass shatering voice and ambi-dexterous abilities the masked webber would stand no chance....just saying

  • white man got soul, I love him. Beautiful voice. Talent talent

  • what if Mcdonald was the reincarnation of J.C. and no one ever knew it? funny thing is, he looks like Chuck Norris in this video. (^_^)

  • he is so handsome in this clip

  • once. JUST ONCE. i downloaded this performance into an audio equalizer and subbed down the guitars, and drums and just listened to MCDONALDS vocals.

    I cant be sure what happened because i blacked out from the MAGIC that was happening but I DO KNOW that i missed GREATNESS of EPIC PROPORTION

  • @lolashoes LOL. With you 100%! What a voice!

  • The magic lies in the way he holds his notes. Superb.

  • What I really like about Michael is his music. and I am appalled at the amount of comments that are laced with "God D---". I'm not really one to pick here...but that phrase can be done without. sure wish that people would refrain from using that phrase.

  • @BigBoiJC Geez...I bet you really hate my username then don't you.

  • Comment removed

  • It's not easy to right hits man.

  • Why did it stop short? I was enjoying it immensely.

  • i wonder if McDonald ever got mad that there was a another major cooperation named McDonalds. I mean one makes super delicious and super smooth hamburgers, and Michael McDonald makes super god damn super smooth music. I say McDonald should sue McDonald: one certainly has the better case in terms of producing god damn smooth shit.

  • i wonder if mcdonald gets together on labor day every year. they prob ride around on a yacht and wear all white clothes and drink pinas. They get drunk and talk about how awesome their music is and was, and debate who had the better beard.

    LABOR DAY!!!!!

  • who knew a song about psychosis could be so entertaining?

  • NO WISE MAN HAS THE POWER. humm, makes me think that McDonald might have been touched by a higher power and graced with the gifts of god damn super human smooth singing, supernaturally awesome hair, and the ambidextrous ability to sing super close the to the microphone while holding a towel on his shoulder while also singing super smooth. What gifts, what a man. McDonald you surly DO HAVE THE POWER

  • @lolashoes OMG! You are too funny but you are right he has taken too much of the good stuff. It will be hard for other men to match what Michael McDonald has. He is just one classy act and damn good singer.

  • The guy of the red guitar looks like "It" from the Adams family.

  • Pretty nice song but where's the rest.

  • Is this back when Michael McDonalds hair and beard were still black?

  • I like the authentic background vocals

  • @BARRIEMOREBARLOW I agree.

  • McDonnell's hair is really thick. he is like a flippin LION and the doobies are his pride. But instead of eating Giselle's he just since super god damn smooth

  • lol michael jackson sang back up for them

  • who's the caveman on guitar ?

  • jamaican micheal mcdonald singer tax(dot)2hell(dot)com

  • micheal jackson wrote this song and didnt get credit for it for real

  • I love this!! one of the finest 55seconds ever! Thank you for sharing it,peace.

  • THis guy was totally gray by the 1980's how old is he? lol...cuz he is fully white and has all his thick pretty hair but nobody knows how old he really is...lol.....he still got it too.

  • @TubeGuest5178 --he was born in 1952, on February 12 in St Louis Missouri. In 2010 he is 58 years old. Lately he has put on about 50 pounds. I sure hope he takes it off. He's such a well, loved guy. Over weight makes it easier to have heart attacks.

  • i wonder if mcdonald makes love like he sings very soft and smooth and tender, or if he is the total opposite and is a hard ass. a gal can only wonder about that stallion.

    Yawza!!

  • @lolashoes -- he's tender. Take a look at his wife. First go to Wikipedia and then search images on Google.

  • this muther f@#$ers killed it! Raw... just some guys with a couple instruments. Absolute masterpiece....

  • How freakin' beautiful is his voice in here!

  • MARRY ME PLEASE!!!!!

  • i love the fact that mcdonald isnt afriad to say "hey i get effing sweaty" and isnt afriad to wipe his sweaty brow occassionally. smoooth

  • lol, cousin IT on guitarr

  • @hcue LOL, LOL, LOL...too funny!!!

  • Great song and groove! Thats the way we want it! Check out our new Westcoast project State Cows feat Jay Graydon

  • the bass player gets not love in this video, and that pisses me off. I mean come on we all know mcdonald is the smoothest mother effer this side of the planet but does he CONSTANTLY have to steal everyone else's thunder. LOVE YOU mcdoanld but wtf.

  • Haaairrrr! Awesome!

  • Damn that is smooth! Good work Ted!

  • mmm your right i never noticed how ambidexterous he is: singing a dope song, holding a towel, playing TWO pianos and rocking one seriously smooth beard. this guy continues to amaze the crap out of me.

  • badass song!

  • He is playing two pianos, singing and with his eyes closed!

    And the music is beautiful!

    What a genious!

  • I love michael mcdonald's voice...so very smooth. And I love all this hair from the 70s! Awesome!! :)

  • classic material!

  • goddamnit that's smooth.

  • i wonder what kind of cognac mc'D drinks. he prob puts on some hall and oats, takes a nice warm bath, and drinks sweet swet cognac from a big ass oversized wineglass. Jus saying: he knows how to relax!!!!

  • genius pure genius

  • im dressing up as mcdonald for halloween this year: i have a sweet beard: and im going to kick the ass of a dbag named logginsn and possibly messina: its gonna be EPIC

  • Mike McD = brilliant

  • Someone needs to extract the DNA from that mic and clone more Michael McDonalds.

  • They should make a mcdonald ROBOT: one that could clean your house then sing sweet sweet music to you.

    Just saying im sure there is a market for MMD ROBOTS

  • his smokey beard puts me in a trance: and when i wake up ive allready baked a betty crocker soft batch of cookies, and put on my argile tweeted sweater... very toasty

  • 0:24 어쩌라고오~?

  • he has the best voice ever and the best eyes ever

  • If mcdonald sung any closer to that microphone he would be making out with it. Thats what i like about ace's like McY'd he's not afraid to showcase his masculenity.. ... smooth mother effer!!!

  • @lolasimms79 hahahahaha

    that was great remark!!!!!

  • @lolasimms79 rofl :D

  • Towel over his shoulder , fkin ace!

    The guitarists all look mean as f*** but sing like wimps lol , comical.

    Great song tho.

  • i always thought Michael MCDonald was good looking

  • I Love this song. Love it even more bcuz Michael Jackson sang background vocals secretly.

  • Really?

  • Ya they talked about it on "extra"

  • never knew that,Michael Jackson?he must of been a teen at that time, I can see michael singing background.

  • so smooth

  • Uhm whomever you are Mr. Rikk, you may need a HUG? You sound rather DISRESPECTFUL naming me as "just another crazy female going on and on." Is it that you do not know what the word "PROTOTYPE" means?

    Apparently, YOU MAY HAVE RACE ISSUES and you lack the logical "discernement" to read a expressive comment of attraction and admiration towards someone of a different ethnic background.

    Many thanks to Miss Jules for understanding my sentiment. Oh well, someone go hug Mr.Rikk ...please. (Smile)

  • If I would ever marry a Caucasian man Michael McDonald would have been the prototype. It weird to me but remembering him when I was a kid I was like Man...can my husband have a beard like that? LOL His eyes are to die for and NOW that he looks a lil like a cross between Kenny Rodgers and Grizzly Adams...he has aged WONDERFULLY in my eyes... I guess I will always have a closer crush on him. (gigglin to herself) good music too!

  • The 1st bit sounded quite racist to me..the rest was just another crazy female going on and on. I expect you've stomped out of the room now..headache or something.....

  • wow, I agree 100%....

  • btw...I'm agreeing with Keinoooo

  • @Keinoooo Wondered when somebody would bring race into it.... sigh.

  • Im sitting in my country house right now listening to mcdonald and all i can say is that dude has the most unbelievable hair ever. its like the gods came down from heaven and bestowed upon him the shinest, smoothest, most GOD DANG SILKY hair the earth has ever seen.. he tote prob uses pantiene..

  • I'm a "straight" man, and I'm only observing this, but I had to laugh a little, at all the hair stuff, in a friendly way, because some lady on the comments on Echos of Love on another youtube song by them, was "freaked out" by their hair. I think it's just an "each to his or her own" kind of thing here. I get a kick out of it, but honestly, I'm jealous of Michael, because I never could grow a beard as full has his was. Marc

  • @lolasimms79 LOL

  • @lolasimms79 hh

  • @lolasimms79 LMAO

  • this was one of my favorie songs by the xoobie brothers backinthe day keep up the good work michael.

  • More! More! More!!!!!

  • OMG, he was SUCH a babe. Still is.

  • billy mays*

  • i bet you McDonald is really torn up by michael jackson, farah fawcett, ed mcmahon, and billy maze's passing: he is one soft mother effer and he feels more than the average bearded superstar.. just saying

  • @lolasimms79 That's what happens when you reach a certain age, right?

    Eventually you either die first of all your best friends and loved ones or you outlive them all and die alone with nobody at your funeral. So, what matters really is how you live and most people that live the kind of life that Michael McDonald lives, lives a pretty good life.

    btw What's wrong with being a soft bearded superstar, anyway? I wish I could grow a beard like that! ;-)

  • @lolasimms79 micheal jackson was a faggot and rapist. thank god that bitch is gone.

  • @spfann1 Do you have proof that michael jackson raped those boys? what the fuck do you know abt michael jackson. Is he ur friend? do you actually know him? just cos that mother fucking bastard accused mj of raping her son FOR MONEY, doest mean mj is a faggot. dont talk cock unless u have seen it in ur own eyes. people talk fuck abt mj for MONEY. i think u are a true born faggot and a bastard. is ur dad really ur dad? i think ur mum had an affair not with ur dad but someone else

  • @MrRavjac his mum probably got inseminated by her brother, he sounds like an inbred retard to me

  • @MrRavjac Yes, Mike was FRAMED by that boy's family because they wanted Mike's MONEY. Also, Mike owned two things that some white folks could never handle: 1)The Beetles' Catalog, and 2)Elvis' Catalog, making Mike one of the wealthiest Black Men in America. Funny thing is this: Roman Polanski and Woody Allen, who ACTUALLY WERE/ARE Pedophiles, keep getting awards, and are still allowed to make films, when all those charges against Mike were straight up BULL$HIT.

  • @spfann1 Ignorant fool

  • is this a gay chat-line...the way you guys talk about this guy...he sucks by the way ! Oh, I get it now... that´s why this is a gay chat-line. Sorry to interupt fellas !

  • And when was the last time you recorded a song that has held it's own for over 30 yrs....Please tell !!!

    Coz if you havent then why the fuck are you listening to it??

  • Tengo un idea muy bueno ...Porque no vienes por acca a mi pueblito en Nicaragua y chupar mi pichon, playito como eres ¡ By the way, I heard your piece of shit singer by recommendation...but believe me, mother fucker, I will never listen to this shit head again por mi propio volentud !!!!

  • what you f----ing idiot oh i forgot you would not understand anything normal you are sick and twisted oh by the way you suck i mean really.

  • No entiendo muy bien que estas diciendome mi amor...porque yo no hablo playito como tu ! besides, I said I was sorry to you fellas...

  • I love how above the shoulders Michael is almost 80% hair, lol

  • What a sexy bitch.

  • Today he looks so much like that Irish Catholic priest from "Father Ted." The white beard & moustache really suit him. Very soulful voice. Definitely a heavy Ray Charles influence there.

  • Mcdonald seems like he is a jogger: he prob wears cut off sweat shorts: and a big ass headband.. loggins is jerk by the way: i hear he likes to hit women.. just saying i heard it

  • i wish mcdonald did all the 80's theme songs instead of loggins. the world would be a hella of a lot god dang smoother. prob no war, famine, dissease... thanks for nothing lOGGINS

  • What's wrong with Kenny Loggins? He's the gosh darned man, if I say so myself. Not that McDonald isn't it.

  • Is it just me or is Michael McDonald exerting 10 times the effort as everyone else in the band combined. Fucking hilarious. He's getting a hernia while the other dudes just stand around and strum.

  • ha ha thats right !!

  • i dont think its humanly possible for a human to be singing closer to the mic than mcdonald... then again.. he isnt quite human is he ?

  • towel is on the right shoulder FYI

  • dear god i think my whole world just collapased: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOO! :)

  • @Centaur716 I wore my towel on the left side cuz wearing it on my right would be too much like McDonald, and we cant have perfectly good people walking around impersonating McDonald now can we.

  • i started wearing a white towel on my left shoulder like mcdonald did in this clip. i wore it to work, on dates, to dinners everything....dident quite work out for me....DAMN YOU MCDONALD..DAMN YOU AND YOUR SILKY SMOOTH WAYS

  • Hilarious

  • Mac is one guy who actually looks better with age , although he always looked very reverential and that beard/tache were far too tidy for 1979. Amazing voice..those high notes are VERY difficult. Today he laughs after he sings them. I think you're right about Loggins.

  • Back in the 80s, I was on the VIP guest list at Hugh Hef's Playboy Mansion parties. They used to play this song on the garden lawns while me and other playas were busting those playboy bunnies doggy style on the grass. Those were the days ! 80's heaven !! No accountability ! No promises ! No regrets !! If any hos are reading this - Always remember - "DA WIZE MAN HAZ DA POWA !!!"

  • Comment removed

  • i sometimes wonder if mcdonald and the other guitarist shop for hair products together: mmmmmmm

  • his mother at the time of his birth said we are going to have a problem with our michael,he actually started growing a beard when he was 5 years of age.(apparently he was just like his father when he was a baby).....and the moral of this story is ..What a fool believes.

  • brilliant use of conditioner and a great voice.

  • Do you think McDonald uses conditioner in his beard. I mean how can one beard be so god damn smooth ? tell me ?

  • life like real music ............

  • i bet mcdonald would whoop loggins and messina's ass in a fight.. he would prob use a cue stick and a pina colata glass cuz thats what smooth mother effers like mcdonald do

  • lol, yea, i agree

  • LMAO!

  • that's what a fool believes, kenny

  • this tempo is way too fast. i hope i'm right.. but yeah.. micahel mcdonal rules doobie brothers is great..

  • i think Mcdonald would whoop loggins ass in a fight.. thats just me.

  • agreed.

  • whats with the rivalry? both are fantastic musicians and good friends too..

  • I was a bit depressed, but after hearing that I forgot why I was depressed.

  • his beard is super smooth, its like a walk on the beach or a sunset with a pina collata.. smooth

  • you're funny...i laughed well...thank you

    check out my band foxycock while you're at it... like michael mcdonald, but less good

  • you are really funny man...i mean it. i just laught when i read your post...

  • Brings back memories. I still consider this song as one of my favorites. Michael McDonald was handsome then and is still handsome now.

  • I love this song

  • Love the song!

  • WOW...I was 15 years old when this was live...I really miss the GOOD MUSIC...Where is it today??? Come on you teenagers do you like "My-time" music the 1970's- and the 1980's or YOUR TIME music??? Hope you choose the right one..Please comment and let me know..thanks-

  • The long-hair dudes look like they are longin to play something harder!?

  • i personally like his beard. the towel over his shoulder is just a nice McDonald touch

  • he played a set of doubles before the show

  • and musicianship....

  • that group was fabulous! And Michael MCDonald, what a voice...wow!!!!!!!!

  • "Me and James Ingram are wasted, writing smooth music...you wanna come over?"

    "You're not going to trick me into writing a movie theme."

    "Fuck movie themes!"

    "Fuck Hollywood!"

  • das war noch Musik

  • its like butta.. so smooth

  • This was the first concert I went to when I was a kid. I got lucky.. I saw the Doobie Bro.s live before they broke up. Man this brings back memories. Great song.

  • Notice how cleaner he sings the song here, than these days

  • what's that mike mikes (lol) using any helpers?

  • sweet jesus thats smooth

  • You can't just come in here with your platitudes and make everything alright Loggins, that what a fool believes... what a fool believes...
