Thanks Robowski that reminded us of the Doobie Brothers.
I will never forget their first song that impressed me - Long Train Running. I was about fourteen then.
I had it, and “Listen to the Music” on my Tesla tape recorder.
In fact, they were one of my first recordings that I made my own by a friend. Seems illegal from the current point of view.
I love the Doobie Brothers. They bring back so many fond memories of a late friend who passed away this past March at the age of 65. He’s the one who turned me on to them.
A long time ago when I was a student, I and my friends were playing in a casino.
I remember that I had lost about $4K at one time.:money_mouth_face:
After all, I managed to get back, I bought a golden Longines, and never went to a casino anymore.
This song and the quoted refrain were my favorites then.
Agree great thread,many good memories of some forgotten bands.As I have not posted before I will mention my all time favourite band Little Feat with Lowell George,well worth a listen for those who may not know them.
I think I have said this before…
But here it is again : Thanks Bonham for the most interesting thread.
You meet people here with all kinds of stories about their favourite musos, and you hear songs that you’ve never heard before.
I hope no one felt affected by the above salty YT comment and I totally agree with it on the music of the Village People. :+1:
Music hits like In the Navy, Go West, YMCA, Can’t Stop The Music, Macho Man etc…
I have that on vinyl along with all the original Canned Heat lineup minus Frank Cook, the original drummer that played at The Monterey International Pop Music Festival in 1967. In my opinion, Adolfo “Fito” de la Parra was their only real drummer. Larry Taylor on bass, Henry Vestine on guitar, Alan Wilson vocals, guitar and harp, Bob Hite vocals. Yep, I was and still am a big fan of Canned Heat. I will say, Harvey Mandell was great with Canned Heat as well.
