    "You don't know me but I'm your brother" .... one of the best opening lines ever!

    This is Black American gospel music. No wonder I was attracted to their music as a church raised youngster. Going to see them in concert this year!

    I thought Pat was going to start shouting and dancing with his tambourine. They were taking it to the streets and to Church at the same time.

    No lie, I was introduced to the Doobie Brothers as a little kid thanks to What's Happening. Been a fan ever since.
  • So 46 years later I'm listening to this masterpiece (and MM is still with us)…Who's arguing with what?! 😍
  • @thejamesbridges
    This is the hands down the best live version of the song. Skunk nailing the solo at 2:07 + McDonald's gospel outro deem this performance unrivaled.
  • Tiran Porter; one of the most underrated bass players you'll. This song is a lesson in groove.

    I'm glad this performance will live forever online. Its incredible.

    You can’t beat those vocals! The fact that he’s that good on the keys and in rhythm live is absolutely insane.

    I'm in my 60's, and Doobie Brothers music always puts a smile on my face. Takes me back to my teens, listening to WLS at our local swimming pool. GODS, I miss the music of those days!!!
  • This tune is as relevant in 2022 as it was when it was released. Michael McDonald one of the greatest voices and piano players I have ever heard.
  • @scottmonroe6522
    Jeff Baxter is a guitar genius and this is a rare look at his improvisational skill, just an incredible solo!
  • @alohatraveler
    Only band I can think of where the live performances were always better than the studio. Michael killed this. Damn he was a genius. Soul, harmony, timing, voice... He had everything
  • @cbj407
    One of the few groups that sound in concert almost exactly as they do on the album.
  • @GinaGreenlee
    OK. So we know he can write. He can sing. He can play piano. And I am compelled to say, FINE. AS. HELL.
  • @amdaire
    an absolute genius on the piano. WOW!
  • @Epitome63
    Michael was 25 years old! Amazing.
