This version is like vintage bourbon, that's fermented in an oaken barrel for 10 years (aged to perfection) .

Hands down...best version of this tune.

I can see that now!! ❤️🎶💯

I went to a doobie brothers concert with my family for my dads 50th bday and this has quickly become my favorite song

Good lord that man can sing!!!!!

Just one of the many things a appreciate about the Doobie Brothers is their ability to vocalize. The live harmonies are spot on key.

❤Love Michael Mcdonald singing 🎶 😊

I am always so surprised how good they sounded live, especially with these MM songs.

incredible live band from the videos I've seen. I was under 10 when they were peaking in the early 80's so I never got to see them live, so I am so glad to find stuff like this. What an experience it must have been to be there lol, I always wonder why the crowd is so subtle and still...I would have been dancing my ass off!!

I didn't know he wrote this song. What a voice he had!

His voice is still terrific! Still touring with the Doobies in 2024.

The music from the Doobie Brothers comes in so many flavors but the one thing that is consistent its how well they sing together. This is live and they are so tight singing on key.

You are spot on!!! 🎯❤️ I totally agree with you 💯👍🏾

best version by far. smoother than butter

Excellent version

I know Michael has the best version of this song for the guys and Carly definitely for the ladies when she performs at Martha's Vineyard / Grand Central Station in N.Y.C. They are both Heavenly Bodies with Heavenly Voices!

What a amazing voice he has and the band is wonderful together

So cool 😎

The best version, what a voice ❤

That voice and those blue eyes!!!♥️

For all he went through, in tribulations of drink and the pains of what not, Mr McDonald (that's a Scotts heritage right?); brought a whole updated sound to the Doobies, as we came out of the hippy-era and entered what: The new Romantic? I can listen to Michael in the Doobies songs any time, day or night. For me, he caught the sight of that giant airship of aspirations coming down, and gave some honest expression to latch on to for those who remained alone. And still do. Thank-god I aspire as a musician, to make a tune one-day, or I'd be entirely lost in this world.

I was at this show. Great memories.

was able to hear this live last week !! such beautiful voices, instruments & overall song 😍 I LOVE

TDB's version is like sitting late night in an empty, dimly lit bar from the late 70's, sipping a hard drink that goes down smooth amidst the blue grey curls of smoke floating upwards from the lit cigarette that casts the only real illumination with each drag... Carly Simon's version moves from the dimly lit bar to the dimly lit bedroom, all full of dark colored satins and silks. Lace and lipstick. Dark and elegant furnishings, with a panoramic view of the city below, at night. A lover's plea and yet, spirited demand for devotion and loyalty....

Love this song…it reminds me of my man.

Best version of this song. Thank you.

Love It ❤🥰

fucking awesome

Such quality video

Cornelius Bumpus gives it such depth and makes it so easy to the ears .

Love both versions but Carly went somewhere else with it ,loved it

Awesome

I bought tickets to see 👀 them/ this agost 7 _ ( at Madisson Square garden)

The Doobies became a real band when they some how found Michael McDonald.

The Doobie Brothers was a real band before Michael joined them. They had already won a Grammy or two before Mike joined the group. The fact they switch from rock/country to R&B just showed how truly versatile and talented the Doobie Brothers were as musicians.

I was hoping that Carly would come walking out!

Good grief...I was 16 in 1982. Amazing the clarity of this video and sound. Was this "sweetened" in the studio?

Where’s the Carly/Michael duet?

I like Carly Simon's version
