Toy was also a marine wounded in action in Vietnam not only one of my favorite guitarist but also like my dad and his brother and my cousin Johnny all Vietnam vets may they all rest in peace
Not to try to compete, but I've got a version on reel-to-reel that I recorded from a live concert radio broadcast of Marshall Tucker opening for the Allman Brothers at the Oakland Coliseum ('75 or '76 or maybe even '77). Like an idiot I only recorded one MT song, saving my tape for the Allman Brothers. That one song was MT's encore: 24 Hours At A Time. Toy Caldwell's solo, to this day, brings tears. His best that I've ever heard.
@@robertmayer7232 Great anecdote! Thanks for sharing, bro. I only saw MT once, in Indianapolis. Stayed on my feet the entire show. They were that good.
There are moments in life when the planets align, EVERYTHING is going right and magic fills the air. This show, this particular night, with Charlie Daniels as a guest, the Marshall Tucker Band hit PERFECTION with this number. Thank GOD it was recorded. I was in college when I 1st heard this number (Capricorn Years Album). My now deceased friend asked me "You like Southern Rock, right?" I said "Yes Sir". He played this tune while driving in his convertible Camero one night. Magic! Long Live the MTB!❤️
Priceless, never gets old to hear and like so many of us...takes me back to a time. .50¢ gasoline, $4.00 concert tickets, cheeseburger, fries and a Coke get change back from a dollar. . . Sigh
These guys are right up there with "Skynyrd and Allman Bros.. Both the legendary Caldwell brothers were thumb pickers, Some of the very finest ever. Incredibly talented band. I was lucky enough to see this tour.
The way they blend and move in and out of fiddle into sax and guitar is pure genius. So naturally done you’re hearing a country rock band with jazz and blues in one amazing package.
First time I heard this I was at college back in 1975. This version. It changed my world. All the solos blend to make magic. Still on my all time top 20 desert isle disc.
1976 was working in the patch. First big check, bought me a nice big stereo, and this album. Set it all up, twisted me up some Columbian , First song was This Ol Cowboy. Listened to whole album twice. Those were good days. !!
@@dougwilliams5474 why the hell not, I take cbd and some of it has thc. The sativa kicks me into another gear when I need to get something done. Pain relief as well for an old guy.
Everything everyone has said good about this song, this album, is so correct. Highway music that you'd better use cruise control for, or you just might fly away.
My Friends Band Was Going To Open Toy Caldwell's Gig But He Died The Night Before....They Played The Whole Night Instead.....We Were All Psyched To Meet The Man Too...Sad
My friend turned me on to this album in 76. Still one of my favorites today. Toy was a guitar genius. Another album he gave me this day was Greg Allman “ Playing up a Storm” . I was in a bar in underground Atl. In 78 and Greg came in and played for two hours, just him a piano and a sax player. One of the best performances I’ve ever seen. Not sure why, but music back then had a soul. Maybe it was the LSD. That stretched the minds of these artist to a different dimension. One that allowed them to be and physically see the notes. I don’t know, I just know it existed. It seems that the quality of music died after Chris Cornell. There’s music out there, but it’s soulless. Bout the only time I see it anymore and it’s rare, it’s in children. When I started playing for the money, it changed everything. For the worst ie. sometimes on “ Playing for Change” I’ll catch a quick glimpse of the past. Like the video where they all perform the song. The Weight. I can’t stand pop music. Remember I had to endure disco in the 80’s so I’ve lived through some trying times for musicians. Country music can thank disco for making it so popular. Only .1% of country music is even worth listening too. The rest is just noise. Kansas, Pink Floyd, Little River Band, Led Zeppelin, Styx, Early Doobie bros, Little Feat, The Band, Marshall Tucker, Allman Bros, those were the last of the big bands that produced real music. The big hair bands were a nightmare. Heavy metal? Sounds like someone’s banging at your door real loud and no one will let them in. You think my god when will this song end. Now R&B , jazz and blues that was the cats meow.
I agree 100% I thought I was a loner.I disagree with some of your musical choices, but, still, the ones I don't care for are GREAT bands compared to all you've mentioned. Thanks.
Me....it was the Johnson City Civic Center in TN in the late 70's. I wormed my way down to the front and these guys got into playing. I was 18 years old. They BLEW my socks off. Toy Caldwell is a hero of mine forever. Other guys from Maine will never understand, I tried to tell them---it was fantastic. They like these guys OK, but you had to be there. To this day, the experience has remained mine. I play this for my brother, a musician, and he gets it, but not like me.
I am here in COLORADO and I am telling you..... what a beautiful place. Toss in a bit of Marshall Tucker and a highway..... God Bless All Of All of You.
Charlie Daniels, a great Patriot, brought me here, A legacy was cemented Yesterday. Farewell Mr. Charlie Daniels, Hope the first thing you do when you get to heaven, is another record with Toy and Tommy. You were always an honorary "Tucker Boy".
Love these positive comments Y’all !!!!! Met my Wife at a 1995 TUCKER CONCERT OUTDOORS OF COURSE WITH POW MIA FLAG FLYING PROUD ALONGSIDE MY SOUTHERN CROSS !!!!! ThankYou For all the Fantastic Music & Memories
My Gosh!! Amazingly Great!! 🥰 Wish I’d been in the audience - so lucky. Thought I heard the sound of humpback whales in the mix, love how each instrument is “glorified”. Am getting the album, a must have for my “happy place” with no WiFi. Love you Marshall Tucker Band, Forever!! ❤
Some 45 years ago, I listened as my older brother and his buddy would practice playing MTB for gigs they would do at local taverns. Years and decades go by like cars on a freeway. Next thing I know, I'm 60 and life has lost much of its magic and mystery. Music has taken a backseat to the stresses of reality and obligations. But on an occasional early Saturday morning, while everyone is still sleeping, I am able to put on a headset, shut my mind off, and let the music drive. Man, I needed this road trip.
Nicely written Buck, especially the freeway metaphor. But it sounds to me that life HASN'T lost much of its magic and mystery for you. Not when you've got those cans on. We take it where we can.
Brooklyn is technically part of Long Island (I know people from Queens and Kings County hate that...lol) and Southern R&R was HUGE on the Island in the 70;s.
Having been fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time...Tucker was playing Dayton’s Hara Arena in July of ‘75...Toy and George were walking into the venue and I was on the outside of the gates with a guard.. I said “George McCorkle fastest rhythm guitar player alive!” They started laughin’ Toy said “there’s a man that actually listens, Git on in here boy!” Said Toy motioning the guard aside... I went in white straw hat creases ironed in my jeans and Tony Llama snakeskin boots and soon they were introducing me to the rest of the band...”Joe give this guy 4 backstage passes” Tommy told Joe McConnell(road mgr.) I went back out to the arena pass affixed to my thigh...and motioned to my wife and the couple we were with to come down from their seats... couple of people asked “Are you with the band?” I looked at my outfit and hat and boots and said “why yes,yes I am” when Tucker took the stage we were on stage with them! After it was over we went down to the dressing room(locker room) had a few beers smoked a doobwah. Tommy said “Joe put this man on our permanent guest list!” which allowed me back stage many many times... but those are stories for another time. Long live on of the South’s best bands!!!!
I remember that concert . Wanted to go soo bad couldn’t find a ride. By god the 70s bad a@&. Wish i could go back for just one summer and take my sheltered wife with me!
I have t heard this songs in years! My brother just passed a week ago-I told him to send me a sign, that he was ok and this was it. He played this song in a band, like everyone did. RIP Bub, play on
I wish these guys were as prolific as the Dead with their live shows. They systematically KILL IT live. This track got me through some hard times, when I would take off on my bike and just jam and ride. Thanks for the lift.
Iowa Jam back in the eighties. Firefall. Pure Prairie League. Beer. Sunshine. "Hey, I think you guys better turn your Buddy over, he's looking a little toasty this side". Thanx Tucker
I was 18 when they came to play a concert at the U of M. I have seen many concerts by many and varied talents. Nothing tugs the heart like Can't You See.
Love this record. 2 commercials in the middle of 24hrs at a time reminds me of why I can't stand interrupted music. Sheesh put it before the song if you have to!
Maybe the most under list underappreciated fact is .back in the day every one of your single members had to absolutely kick ass live... These guys were such monster players thank you for posting
Took me a quite a few times to get the 'Texarkana' line from the studio version. Easy to hear it here. Never heard of the place being a New Yorker.. My favorite all time band and it's a crime they are not in the R&R HOF. Dozens of unreal songs. Many members can't say the same. Their time will come. PS: Favorite band of the north shore of Long Island. We loved them.
These boys and Charlie Daniels were among the first TRUE Southern Rock bands in existence.. You bet they had a little3 country accent to their music, but then again, every country boy likes a little bit of rock and roll!!!! Miss all you boys big time!!! Crank up the amps in heaven boys, God Bless!!!
Saw them in 72 in NY, Went to college in St Pete in 76, Brought MTB with me, My roommate was a Dead Head and I learned to love them too. Remember when the Hurricane (on the beach) was a shack and Shaddracks was famous since 74..in 76 ?LOL...
I was listening to MTB & Skynyrd too but also Pink Floyd. Awesome musicians & songs. All of the 70's. I might be old, 65 now, I do have a long list of favorite artists & bands to listen to attend concerts over the years more added ever year by phone, RUclips & more. Don'tattend concerts as much as i use to still want to go, but...... Keeping an open mind on all music. I'm a lover of most music. ROCK ON!
God Bless Us All who grew up in times where Compromise was the way to go; Not right or left. Democrat or Republican or Independent; We Are All American. Don't change the US Constitution for you; adapt to what our founding envisioned. Amen God bless us all.
Our Boys recorded this track as well as others that were included on " Where We All Belong " here in Milwaukee. And.. the band had a day off. So...they let the underground radio stations know that they were playing another show....the band made sure that the ticket price was $ 1.00
I saw CDB in NYC in the early 80's. Might have been late 70's. Might have even warmed up MTB. I forgot the venue but Papa John Creach comes on for a set. WOW. We knew he was playing a midnight show at My Father's Place on Long Island and we rushed their after the show. Sure enough, Charlie was there playing along. The days when musicians were in it for the music....
Love this song. Invariably I'd hear it on the St. Louis rock station (KSHE) while on my way from college to my hometown for a weekend. And invariably, I'd look down and realze that I was suddenly going 90 miles an hour. What a sublime and wonderful jam!
Brother Tommy Caldwell just kicking the snot out of his bass in support of the whole band and driving Brother Toy to the summits of lead guitar playing.
We saw them do this with Charlie Daniels in Springfield Massachusetts in the early 1970s when we were in high school. Very high energy jam. Allman Brothers Band invented it, Marshall Tucker Band perfected it
I saw them live in Reno in the early 80's. I didn't know much about them, but they were an excellent band to see LIVE! Just blew me away, and with no back up players helping 😀
Folks....Southern Rock doesn't get any better than this. Going on 50 years old and STILL rocks. Damn this band was good.
It all goes bk to the Delta.
All these guys had blues influences.
These fuckers are next level!
1976...100,000 people in the Superdome when this band hit the stage. Great show!
I was there!
That's so dope ❤
Awesome!
Actually it was Aug 31 1975 for the grand opening of the Louisiana Superdome. I was lucky enough to be there. The Allman Brothers were the headliner.
Toy was also a marine wounded in action in Vietnam not only one of my favorite guitarist but also like my dad and his brother and my cousin Johnny all Vietnam vets may they all rest in peace
Toy was wounded in Nam? Never knew that
Never knew
I'm trying to make sure my 30 yo kids hear and enjoy this timeless music so that it doesn't get lost. There will never be another MTB...
One of the most underrated guitarists. In history toy caldwell
Most talented guitarist have much respect for Toy. I man blew me away many times in the 70's - 80's and I'm very thankful for it...
@@mikebaird8648 me TOO!
Spotlight on Toy. Did not disappoint in the 3 or shows that I saw.
@@mikebaird8648 What he could do with just his thumb defies belief or explanation.
Definitely .
The greatest performance ever of one of the greatest songs of all time.
Not to try to compete, but I've got a version on reel-to-reel that I recorded from a live concert radio broadcast of Marshall Tucker opening for the Allman Brothers at the Oakland Coliseum ('75 or '76 or maybe even '77).

Peak Southern boogie music here.

You are more right then you know
What color and year was the Camaro?
@@robertstroud7561 was a 1998 Blue/Aqua convertible. What a night❤️
You nailed it Georgia Peach
I grew up in So Cal and saw the Tucker Boys in 77, 78, 79 & 80
Charlie Daniels played every show! Incredible band!
This was recorded live in Milwaukee in 1974 at the Performing Arts Center. I was there!
So, you already know how one feels in paradise
What envy. Healthy envy!
My friends and I thought it was fairly awesome!
Never liked this much when I was younger.Now,this is the shit,also this is the better version.
lucky dog..this is the song that album rock station in the 70's would play when the DJ needed a bathroom break..
I saw then five times in four states.
One of the best bands ever they deserve to be in.Hall of fame definately
the hall of fame is lame....
The R & R Hall of Fame is now a politically correct joke!

4 finger lids 10 bucks good shit
BACK WHEN INFLATION WAS A SIN...
I lived near The Woodkands, TX. then. Ha Convoy, CB's were raging.
Yup..today inflation is good for buossiness lol
These guys are right up there with "Skynyrd and Allman Bros.. Both the legendary Caldwell brothers were thumb pickers, Some of the very finest ever. Incredibly talented band. I was lucky enough to see this tour.
Nothing better than Tucker , Skyrnyrd , CDB , Allman Bros , and Outlaws !!
50 years later i still listen to all of them all the time !!!
That's the truth. I saw most of those bands live in concert, not Allman Brothers, but all the rest. I'm so happy about my youth. 65 now.
You are not wrong. Best times of my life in music.
The way they blend and move in and out of fiddle into sax and guitar is pure genius. So naturally done you’re hearing a country rock band with jazz and blues in one amazing package.
Marshall tucker band.... southern rockabilly.... in Los Angeles... around 74.... outlaws opened for them... what an unforgettable night!!
First time I heard this I was at college back in 1975. This version. It changed my world. All the solos blend to make magic. Still on my all time top 20 desert isle disc.
Be blessed you could afford college
Everybody likes them. Put them in the hall of fame...finally.
One of the Great Bands of the Seventies, Truly Big Time
I miss these guys so much
1976 was working in the patch. First big check, bought me a nice big stereo, and this album. Set it all up, twisted me up some Columbian , First song was This Ol Cowboy. Listened to whole album twice. Those were good days. !!
Hey Tim, I hope you’re not a pot-head anymore.
yah, in the 70s i had my harmon kardon 75+ and my JBL l36s - and let the vinyl spin , good days indeed!
Me to patch and Colombian red bud

Cant wait to sit on my back porch crank it up and burn a door.
Everything everyone has said good about this song, this album, is so correct. Highway music that you'd better use cruise control for, or you just might fly away.
Rite on trippy, hiway music for road seriously bad bad Men!! Bad bad!! Best alltime, eve!!
Saw then and abb cdb and wet willy and the incomparable lynrd sknrd circa 1974 in Georgia jam
so true, my cousin got a speeding ticket in the 70's listening to this song.
Highway music for sure. Way better than coffee
Bobby I have many time
The thundering thumb playing of Toy Caldwell !
My Friends Band Was Going To Open Toy Caldwell's Gig But He Died The Night Before....They Played The Whole Night Instead.....We Were All Psyched To Meet The Man Too...Sad
Belinda Stevens Toy was as good as Hendrix , Page and Sky Dog.. better in some waayss!!!
charles stevenson
Thunder and lightning
Toy the master
My friend turned me on to this album in 76. Still one of my favorites today.
Toy was a guitar genius.
Another album he gave me this day was Greg Allman “ Playing up a Storm” .
I was in a bar in underground Atl. In 78 and Greg came in and played for two hours, just him a piano and a sax player.

Not sure why, but music back then had a soul. Maybe it was the LSD. That stretched the minds of these artist to a different dimension. One that allowed them to be and physically see the notes.
I don’t know, I just know it existed.
It seems that the quality of music died after Chris Cornell.
There’s music out there, but it’s soulless.
Bout the only time I see it anymore and it’s rare, it’s in children.
When I started playing for the money, it changed everything. For the worst ie.
sometimes on “ Playing for Change” I’ll catch a quick glimpse of the past.
Like the video where they all perform the song. The Weight.
I can’t stand pop music.
Remember I had to endure disco in the 80’s so I’ve lived through some trying times for musicians.
Country music can thank disco for making it so popular.
Only .1% of country music is even worth listening too.
The rest is just noise.
Kansas, Pink Floyd, Little River Band, Led Zeppelin, Styx, Early Doobie bros, Little Feat, The Band, Marshall Tucker, Allman Bros, those were the last of the big bands that produced real music. The big hair bands were a nightmare. Heavy metal? Sounds like someone’s banging at your door real loud and no one will let them in.
You think my god when will this song end.
Now R&B , jazz and blues that was the cats meow.
I agree 100% I thought I was a loner.I disagree with some of your musical choices, but, still, the ones I don't care for are GREAT bands compared to all you've mentioned. Thanks.
Amen Nothing like Good Southern Rock n Roll!!!!!
Put on Blackberry Smoke!
Me....it was the Johnson City Civic Center in TN in the late 70's. I wormed my way down to the front and these guys got into playing. I was 18 years old. They BLEW my socks off. Toy Caldwell is a hero of mine forever. Other guys from Maine will never understand, I tried to tell them---it was fantastic. They like these guys OK, but you had to be there.

Sometimes its good to have a "hippie good time" ya know?
I am here in COLORADO and I am telling you..... what a beautiful place. Toss in a bit of Marshall Tucker and a highway..... God Bless All Of All of You.
call them 3 or 4 times in 3 or 4 months in Nashville Tennessee 1973 Life's good
Thanks...🙋♂️
God Bless the SOUTHERN BANDS!!
Very few songs give me goosebumps but the way Toy, Jerry, and Tommy do there solos get me every time.
Saw them in 77 with Outlaws and Pure Prairie Legue, and lucky enough to catch them a year or so ago with Synyrd. EPIC
Listened to this entire album at least a 1000 times when it was released..
Most likely more.
They peaked at this concert.
Music will never be like it was.
not in our lifetime
Actually I'm almost 66 and music today iS killer- Blackberry Smoke- Tyler Childers- Billy Strings-Srurgil Simpson. Aw hell, just a old hillbilly...
Charlie Daniels, a great Patriot, brought me here, A legacy was cemented Yesterday. Farewell Mr. Charlie Daniels, Hope the first thing you do when you get to heaven, is another record with Toy and Tommy. You were always an honorary "Tucker Boy".

I see there were 15 hearing-impaired people who rated this. This is as good as it gets.
lol. how right you are, they will realize that in 42 years. Bless it. F millenials....
My late husband was friends with these guys growing up in South Carolina where they use to practice as a Group of young guys-- WONDERFUL BAND!
Good story - what was it like back then ? Before they went to Vietnam ?
These guy's ALWAYS put on a great show. Only country band I LOVE. TOY. Need I say More.
Tommy's bass tone is sooo awsome !
This here is some good Southern rock baby! Even us Brooklyn kids jammed out to this back in the day yeeeeee haaaaaa
This is as good as it gets still like searching for a rainbow in jersey pretty good toy goes into a trance they are the best
Brooklyn is technically part of Long Island (I know people from Queens and Kings County hate that...lol) and Southern R&R was HUGE on the Island in the 70;s.
There are no words for toy’s bleeding and the overall funk that comes from this genius moment caught
The fiddle crescendo is amazing.
Yes...Charlie was a great fiddle player.
Charlie Daniels, was a real treasure saw him many times, should be In the he Roll and Roll Hall of Fame!!
My favorite song of all ❤❤❤❤
Having been fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time...Tucker was playing Dayton’s Hara Arena in July of ‘75...Toy and George were walking into the venue and I was on the outside of the gates with a guard..

Good to see someone giving George his due. The turbocharger of the band.
What a tale, atta vaby. Lil reefers & music like this good for us.
I lived in pSoring, TX. when this song came out baby.
Amen brother

Most of us with a little age can sure enough relate to what your say'in...
One of the best live bands I've ever seen.....
Southern bred Southern born by the grace of God.God bless Dixie
Tommys bass solo is awesome!
'70' southern rock still stands the test of time........especially MTB!! My next deserted island I'm taking them with me!
All the soloists knew how to play simple lines, how to build a solo..
Passion over technique 🌹
Iowa Jam back in the eighties. Firefall. Pure Prairie League. Beer. Sunshine. "Hey, I think you guys better turn your Buddy over, he's looking a little toasty this side". Thanx Tucker
I was 18 when they came to play a concert at the U of M. I have seen many concerts by many and varied talents. Nothing tugs the heart like Can't You See.
One of the best records ever made... Hey Toy, You were one big Bad Ass !!
Damn straight!
The sonic atmosphere Toy creates at 5:33 is just friggin AWESUM!
Love this record. 2 commercials in the middle of 24hrs at a time reminds me of why I can't stand interrupted music. Sheesh put it before the song if you have to!
RUclips decides where the ads are placed and RUclips sucks!!
AdBlock is your friend.
I started moving on the first couple notes!
I forgot what a sweet jam this is!!!
Maybe the most under list underappreciated fact is .back in the day every one of your single members had to absolutely kick ass live... These guys were such monster players thank you for posting
Enjoying the memories from my days in Houston in the mid 70s. Back home Weslaco, Texas now. Loving life in my late 60s.
Goosebumps….. this song is a southern rock anthem… timeless. When I need a pick me up I dial up toy and the boys on this one
Took me a quite a few times to get the 'Texarkana' line from the studio version. Easy to hear it here. Never heard of the place being a New Yorker.. My favorite all time band and it's a crime they are not in the R&R HOF. Dozens of unreal songs. Many members can't say the same. Their time will come. PS: Favorite band of the north shore of Long Island. We loved them.
Springfield, Mass. too.
Well you being from NY I'm damn glad to hear that. Good music brings of all together...
We loved them too on the South Shore especially in Merrick, Bellmore, Wantagh, Seaford and Massapequa
I was born in Texarkana, TX.
Iowa Boys loved em too....
Southern rock singer Doug gray very underated
Great singer
Toy..master of the major pentotonic!!!no other guitarist sounds like that.one of a kind
One of the best.

Crank up the amps in heaven boys, God Bless!!!
I was there . Brings back memories of how great it was to be a 16 yr old before the fing internet.
Saw them in St. Pete 'round '72!!! And, then w/their kids...only original member was Doug Grey @ Dallas, 1995...still cool!!!
Saw them in 72 in NY, Went to college in St Pete in 76, Brought MTB with me, My roommate was a Dead Head and I learned to love them too. Remember when the Hurricane (on the beach) was a shack and Shaddracks was famous since 74..in 76 ?LOL...
The very first LP to reach our record shops in Michigan at the time(early 70's)!!!!

God bless us all.
Mike, are you sure your name isn’t Tiny Tim?
@@dougwilliams5474 Well, I don't recall having been referred to him before. But I did 'tiptoe through the Tulips' a few times when I was younger. :-)
@@michaelkoper5061 I’m talking about the character in Charles Dickens’ story, A CHRISTMAS CAROL.
I seen them in 1975 in concert 🎶 they were amazing I seen them with Charlie Daniels band they played together for 3 hours and 55 minutes
Put this on, petal to the metal... best road trip song EVER!!!! Charlie and Toy trading licks and that bass solo in the middle. Classic!
My favorite song by Marshall Tucker, saw them at least 3 times in Tulsa, Oklahoma!
Our Boys recorded this track as well as others that were included on " Where We All Belong " here in Milwaukee.
And.. the band had a day off. So...they let the underground radio stations know that they were playing another show....the band made sure that the ticket price was $ 1.00
As far as as I’m concerned this band is the king of southern rock. Even the current roster of this band knows how to bring the house down.
I love this damn song
I just love this song brings back good memories
Just amazing how tight these guys are!
One of the best jams sessions ever recorded Marshall Tucker Band with Charlie Daniels there may be some as good but none better
I saw CDB in NYC in the early 80's. Might have been late 70's. Might have even warmed up MTB. I forgot the venue but Papa John Creach comes on for a set. WOW. We knew he was playing a midnight show at My Father's Place on Long Island and we rushed their after the show. Sure enough, Charlie was there playing along. The days when musicians were in it for the music....
Best album ever
Yes I agree...
Love this song. Invariably I'd hear it on the St. Louis rock station (KSHE) while on my way from college to my hometown for a weekend. And invariably, I'd look down and realze that I was
suddenly going 90 miles an hour. What a sublime and wonderful jam!
Brother Tommy Caldwell just kicking the snot out of his bass in support of the whole band and driving Brother Toy to the summits of lead guitar playing.
SUCH a great P bass tone...🌟
Totally
Use to love watching those two brothers
One of the great bass solos in recorded music. In my opinion.
Saw them in 70's in Green Bay, WI. with FIVE STANDING OVATIONS. GREATEST EVER.
I saw Marshall Tucker many times!!! Can’t even count!!!!
As the World of "South - Western - Rock -N- Roll Music" -- Go'e's

Southern Rock country jammers!!
Another underrated song and album from Perth Western Australia, just fantastic 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🎸😀
Glad you're enjoying this...
the greatest, the best, the most amazing of an amazing band
Saw them three times in the "70s. Chest up against the stage. My all-time favorite song.
They were crankin it out!
Thankful for Blackberry Smoke. Carrying on the Southern side of music. Miss Duane 🌄🦌🐗
We saw them do this with Charlie Daniels in Springfield Massachusetts in the early 1970s when we were in high school. Very high energy jam. Allman Brothers Band invented it, Marshall Tucker Band perfected it
Blistering, simply blistering guitar solos...
one of the best songs ever
I had a bootleg cassette of this album back in '88, or so, then lost it. Been lookin' for it ever since. Happy now.

I saw them live in Reno in the early 80's. I didn't know much about them, but they were an excellent band to see LIVE! Just blew me away, and with no back up players helping 😀
