~ Patrick Simmons ~
Patrick Simmons is no small-time guitar player. From an early age Pat found himself drawn to blues, folk, and genres from all corners of these United States, and was no stranger to taking the stage. After meeting Tom Johnston and John Hartman, soon-to-be-fellow Doobie Brothers, in 1969, it was only a matter of time until Simmons and his Brothers began to rehape the American blues as we knew it.

If you're not a guitarist you will never understand just how difficult it is to perform a song with this many years beyond its initial inception, solo! Fretting with older fingers, singing with an older voice, not touring like they used too (ie: practicing) and getting the mood and timing of the tune down years after that emotion is gone. Pat, this rendition is simply amazing! I never thought the Doobies got the recognition and acclaim they were due for all the great tunes and hard work they put into the music but brother, they would pack the venues with us fans! Good to see ya grew your hair out again! Peace, 👣

A brilliant guitarist & songwriter...! What would the Doobies be without Patrick Simmons. A favorite of mine from their beginnings...

@musicfan8493 9 месяцев назад

Mine as well.

@mikeagnello39 9 лет назад

One of the all time beautiful songs of the rock and roll era.

@andyinoregon 8 лет назад

No 64 year-old man should still be able to play and sing like this. Congrats, Patrick. You're aging so much better than your many fans.

@ericagitzel51 4 года назад

Music is as close as we can get to a Time Machine. WHAT a beautiful song, it doesn't get any better than this . LONG LIVE the 70's .

@pyramidoutburst9505 4 года назад

totally agree. I refer to my MP3 player as my time machine

@sandydevoreau1006 2 года назад

Yes! that and the photos and articles I catch up on now... memories make this now boring (artistically and otherwise) life bearable...

@mkinsella8592 5 лет назад

Pat and me shared the same small cafe in Soquel, California. It sat about 30 people! Nobody ever bothered him though we all knew who he was. NICE MAN... for a time Neil Young ate at the same place. Hell Doobies even kept their commitment to play a dance at my high school just after Listen to the Music climbed the charts. It is rather sad to read how many in the band are gone now :-(

@mickeyf3730 2 года назад

Nice!!

@sandydevoreau1006 2 года назад

I lived there then.... mid '76-mid '88... one of my favorite concerts ever they played Graham Hill Showgrounds - free !! stood close enough in back ,of Pat (to kiss his hair) in line at Santa Cruz Coffee Roasting co...but was afraid his gf would've kicked my ass.. Always loved that hair.. I was at a laundromat one day Neil Young came in..was pissed off about something...maybe he left his clothes overnight...lol Hate that I was too shy to talk to these guys🤭...never had another chance... But a friend and I Did ask to go backstage at the Catalyst to give Joe Cocker a hug !! So glad we did.... miss those Santa Cruz days......

Thanks for sharing those great memories. Gives new meaning to their song, "Slack Key Soquel Rag."

Doobies are sounding as good if not better than ever including their,vocals. One of THE best bands EVER. Thank you DOOBIES. Your music is timeless, truly.

Almost 50 years since I bought "The Captain and Me".. lots of nostalgia etc but so great to see Pat still killing it !

@jeaninerose3836 6 лет назад

Always one of my heartbreaking old songs. Love Patrick Simmons...He put the Doobie in the "Doobies"He's gotta be my all time crush, but it's way more respect for Pat and his music.

Oh yeah.. I missed my chance I could have touched his hair... I was horribly shy ...damn

Yup, he's a genuine kinda guy. The band seems that way...just good folks that I'd like to have a beer with and just hang out with. Check out Dan Rather's interview with them if you get a minute.

The Captain and Me is one of my all time favorites. I was in 9th grade when it came out. Still makes me feel emotional to hear songs from way back then!!

A lot of songs never get old. But this one is at the top of my list.

@ludwigdrummer717 6 лет назад

Pat Simmons seems like the type of guy you could call at 3 in the morning, pouring rain, car broken down, no money; "hey Pat, can you give me a hand?" Pat would say, "no problem, dude - I'm on the way."

@bsullivan7 10 лет назад

Such a privilege to see Pat perform this song. Always loved the Doobie Brothers. I grew-up on their music. One of my favorite songs too.

awesome. I'm telling you he and Johnston had some great chords for so many of their songs. Not at all your typical C, G, D stuff. It's great to try and learn them and play along. Thank you Pat.

Perfect performance ! Pat ... I love you forever.. I lived in Santa Cruz from '76 to '88. Spent my 20s there. Lotta changes in those years.. but saw you guys play the Graham Hill Showgrounds. Happy times... And once you were right in front of me in line at the Santa Cruz Coffee Roasting Co. Really in love with your hair too. Was all I could do to keep from touching it. ..and mines still long too. ✌ South City .. was and still is you're best. Much Love !!

I played the hell out of two albums in 1973: Steely Dan's "Countdown To Ecstasy" and The Doobie Brothers "The Captain and Me." I wasn't wrong.

@julieb7785 7 лет назад

Saw PS once, trademark hair chopped short, at a remote dance studio in Mendo Co.... I kept looking at him thinking - gee I know that guy from somewhere....friend of a friend? Did we work together once? He was such a low-key genteel audience member; just there to support the kids. Thanks Doobie Bros. for some great American music.

@ScottyWig 11 лет назад

One of my ALL-TIME favorite songs, I've never seen Pat perform this solo, so very nice. I tried to cover this, posted it on up on planet RU-vid. Interesting in that I play it way different than the author of the song, , , gonna have to study up now!

@daryljones3195 4 месяца назад

If I have such a thing as one favorite song, this is it. Pat has been a guitar/music hero of mine since the early/mid 70's when Captain and Me came out. Fast forward some 50 years later and I am just now learning to play it. It sort of got lost in the process of playing more widely popular rock based electric guitar songs off the album. My mistake (if you can call playing any of their songs a mistake) entirely. Too soon old, too late smart.

I'm a long time Doobies fan. Although I think they've never been to my country (Portugal) for a concert, I managed to see them live in concert, in London, a while ago. Besides being a great musician, Pat Simmons must be a great human being too. I love this man. This song is sublime. Please listen to the sax solo by M.Russo on the live Wolf Trap version. F#«%!!!
