    Chuck Negron's mustache deserves to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

    I can remember the music of three dog night and especially the Randy song “Mama told me not to come”. It was also played a lot on Dutch radio back in the day. Great story again Tim! Thanks for charing! Keep’m coming.

    Great seeing those locations , thanks for keeping the memories alive. BTW, lets not gloss over that Tim does all the cool backing music in these videos. Great stuff 🎸

    Michael Allsup is my ❤ friend and a fan of mine. I think he said he joined 3 dog, age 17. He's a really sweet man, with a great sense of humor! I met him thru his cousin Ed in Fresno. Ed and I met doing open mics and became great friends! Covid negatively affected our socialization. I miss our group of musical friends in Fresno. I need to get back there and do some music with all my buddies! 🎶

    I am so glad you made this video. Three Dog Night should definitely be in the hall of fame.

    My first apartment in LA was on Kings Road and I was told that the building was a Three Dog Night investment. They had built the building and owned it. It was a great apartment building.

    Thank you for this, i'm 65 now and i grew up with 3 Dog Night. I wore all those 8 track tapes out. I still think they were the best of the 70's.
  • @tony.bickert
    Five years on top is a hell of a run. No sad story here. Just the 70s. My favorite was “Must Let the Show Go On.”
  • @sadielampduo3762
    Thanks , loved it , always liked 3DogNight . I remember the album ,, Live at the Forum .
  • Really interesting how life can bring people together at specific times and create such greatness.

    I can’t believe how people can discredit this band’s impact on the American music scene of the early 70s. Give me their music library any day. Oh, btw, a few other songs not getting their proper due on here: Easy To Be Hard, Family of Man, Pieces of April.

    This is another reason I will never visit the so called rock and roll hall of fame. It is a sham. They have 6 hip hop groups, they have jazz and country but not steppenwolf or grand funk railroad, jethro tull, bad company. I saw 3 dog night in 1972 along with canned heat, and steppenwolf. Fantastic concert that I will never forget and I am 75 years old... Rock on Dogs. You are hall of famers in my book.

    I saw 3 dog night Christmas 1968 at the Miami Pop Festival. It was a 3 day event before they even had a single on the radio. “Try a little Tenderness” came out in January of 69! My freshman year in college, my girlfriends and I would skip classes every Friday afternoon, drink cheap whiskey & 7 up, played spades and listened to 3 dog night! It became our pre weekend activity!

    When I was growing up in the 70's I loved 3dog night. so many great songs, still love them today.
  • @kmcx8
    Three Dog Night had a great sound. Their covers of Laura Nyro's "Eli's Comin'" and The Band's "Chest Fever" were powerful.
  • @iowa_don
    Way back when (summer of '68 maybe), Three Dog Night opened for Jimi Hendrix at Veteran's Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix. I was there.
  • @ss442es
    Yea, Three Dog Night and "Out In The Country" one of my all time favorites. Few bands of today have the vocals these guys did and it's why I love the older rock. I graduated from High School in 1972 just as the Viet Nam War was winding down. A great time for some awesome music and super talent many of which I think we took for granted after experiencing the uninspiring tunes we have today. I keep looking but the 1960's and 70's are hard to beat. Thanks for the tour!

    Recently, one day at work in the kitchen I heard Shambala on one of my play lists. When the song ended I immediately found their best of album and listened to it 4 times in a row. God I remember the 70s !

    The rock hall is a disgrace now! Thanks for cool episode on a great band.
