3:30 It is a very good comment. I've often said, modern artists like Ariana Grande have incredible voices but they get covered up by "show." I'd just really would like for to see a modern artist like Ariana or whoever just sit down on a stage with some other talented musicians and MAKE MUSIC live. I just think it would be so different from the recorded, sanitized, choreographed massive productions that constitute a performance today that it would break records for attendance.
The 70s was a magic time in music. No synthesizers no autotune just unadulterated talent. It was the best time for music! It’s nice to see young people. Appreciate it! Nice reaction.
This is southern rock at it's finest. The flute solo at the beginning & end is great. Love their music from the 70's. Some of their other big hits were "Fire on the Mountain" & "Heard It in a Love Song". Southern rock fiddler Charlie Daniels did quite a few collaborations with them.
Toy got wounded and instead of going home he went back to finish his tour with his fellow Marines. Purple Heart recipient. A true hero. RIP Toy Caldwell.
@@Joe-d3t1tcheck out Tedeschi Trucks Band and you’ll realize great music is still being made. May not get much radio play, but great bands are still out there.
All of us old timers are in shock. What they claim to be music in today's world is a joke. No one plays an instrument, yet, that's music. That ain't music. This is music.
The nicest bunch of guys I ever jammed with. Probably the only band ever that didn't do it for the money. They genuinely love making music for people. My daughter is 35 now but her most prized possession is a tambourine one of the guys gave her when she was I think 10 yrs old. And she has a lot of stuff from different musicians over the yrs of them in and out of the house.
The Allman Brothers Band were all about the music...in fact most of the Southern Rock bands were, being they were made up of great musicians who played their asses off!
@@SIR-DanielHunter I grew up around the Ozark Mtn Daredevils, and through the yrs they were just great guys. I played softball against several members, as well as drinking at a downtown Springfield, MO bar that several members hung out at.
I grew up with the music of the 60's and the 70's. I have lived to be an old hippie with little hair these days! I saw these guys live twice...and many years ago! It is so gratifying to watch all you younger generations find joy in the music of my youth. On behalf of all us mean old boomers...enjoy! :) Be well, Duke
We Boomers had the best music. I'm an old hippie, as well...still have my hair, but it's turned "executive white", and, alas, I cut my freak flag off years ago! LOL!
I remember it like it was yesterday. I saw them in Central Park, NYC, probably right around this time..I was already a huge Allman's fan, so naturally, these guys I took to right away.
Marshall Tucker, Allman Bros., Lynryd Skynyrd are the triumvirate of southern rock. The finest musicianship of any period in rock history. Throw a dart at any of the three bands' play lists and one will hear great music. Toy Caldwell , the lead singer of MTB, died 30 years ago this month. At time of the video, he was about a year out of Vietnam having received a Purple Heart for wounds suffered while in the USMC. The video was recorded at a live TV broadcast with MTB and the Allman Bros. headlining along with Wet Willie. The venue was the Grand Opera House, Macon, Georgia. Macon was the epicenter of southern rock and headquarters of Capricorn Records. "Can't You See" is on the shortlist of top southern rock anthems.
Toy Caldwell is a Vietnam Vet. Wounded, awarded the Purple heart. A true American hero. You will NEVER get music like this again. I'm blessed to have grown up in the 60s and 70s. RVZ from LS was the king od southern rock.
Toy Caldwell lost both his younger brothers (Tommy next to him playing bass and his youngest brother Tim) within a month of each other in 1980 to car accidents. He was also a United States Marine Corps Vietnam War combat vet (WIA). That's him singing with incredible soul and thumbpicking that beautiful Gibson Les Paul. Thank you for everything brother. Rest easy.
It's nice to see you enjoying this music. I'm 73 years old. The Marshall Tucker Band was one of my favorites back in the 70's. I was fortunate to see them perform live. The 70's were a wonderful time to be alive! The music was so genuine and band members had real talent. We took all that music for granted. We didn't realize how great we had it. I'm very fortunate to still be alive and I remember those times so well. I even still have my long hair!
Saw them warm up for the Allman Brothers a looooooong time ago in Sarasota, NY. Hopped on a bus with 3 friends in NYC and it rained all the way there. But when we got to Sarasota the sun came out and enjoyed a great show.
Honestly…the 70’s was unbelievable for bands….these guy, Skynyrd, Zeppelin, Journey, Van Halen, Bad Company, Eagles, Boston….are just a few bands that were out when I was a teenager….jealous?😅😅
The Marshall Tucker Band are from Spartanburg, South Carolina ! Marshall Tucker was actually a blind piano tuner who they named the band after ! He lived near me in the midlands of SC what a great man =) The band did send him a gold record which he was very proud of ! I think they are still playing great southern rock !!
"Gonna buy me a ticket, as far as I can, I ain't never comin' back.... "Board me a southbound, all the way to Georgia, 'til the train runs outta track. Who writes poetry like that anymore?
This is a perfect example of music back then and music today. There was real feeling and emotion. When I was growing up, the bands and groups was about the music and feeling, not how you look. Everything changed around the turn of the century and not for the better.
Such a great band. The amazingly talented Toy Caldwell singing lead and playing lead. He was also the bands steel guitar player. The band rented an empty storage room as a rehearsal space and one night while discussing names for the band, one of them found that the key to the room was engraved with the name Marshall Tucker. They thought Why Not?, and that became their name. They didn't realize that Marshall Tucker was a real person. He was a blind piano tuner who had tuned the piano in that room. In a bio of the band someone wrote that he also owned that rental space. The man, Marshall Tucker died Jan. 20th of this year (2023). He was 99 years old.
MT band is awesome. Another outstanding Southern rock very bluesy band called the Allman Brothers. Whipping post is my top favorite along with Statesboro Blues , Not my Cross to Bear , Sweet Melissa
And, of course, the best song ever written..."Dreams"! Seriously, ABB is my all-time fav band. They came full circle...started with the Duane Allman/Dickie Betts dual lead guitars, and ended with Warren Haynes/Derek Trucks...both had such a synergy when playing together...they went together like peas and carrots! LOL!
Back in the day...my high school days...growing up 30 miles from Spartanburg, South Carolina, home of Toy, Tommy, and the rest of the Marshall Tucker Band. My nephew who studied music in college, took drum lessons from drummer Paul Riddle.
I miss the days when the singer and song gave space for solos to emote right along with the lyrics. The 70s were a time of well crafted sonic environments to tell poignant and meaningful stories. Just look at you, everybody's got some neck and shoulder grooving. It's a whole body experience. Great reaction.
As a teen growing up in the 70's I didn't appreciate enough at the time just how much and how great the music was. Thank God for the UTube time machine. It is also great to see Schnell and others enjoying and reacting to all of it!
This was my last year in high school. They were one of many great southern bands, both country and rock. I saw them along with The Outlaws and Lynyrd Skynyrd at an outdoor festival.
I saw them live just a couple of weeks before this video was made. It was my very first rock concert. They were an opening act for Mahavishnu Orchestra, but MTB had just started to break out and make it big. I had never heard them until that night, but I was instantly a fan. A fantastic show, great attitudes, just a great band to see live. Pure Southern Rock, one of the very best.
First time I heard Marshall-Tucker band I felt exactly like you’re describing in your reaction now. That was my last year of high school, 1973. The pure spirt in the time was intoxicating and lots of kids bought in. I did. I kept all my records too…800 + in closets. I don’t even have a record player, but have quite a collection.
Seen Marshall Tucker 3 times. An era where music is real not computerized, as the voices were real ....no help. Check out Jethro Tull is you like the flute and for blues Alvin Lee and Ten Years After
One of the loudest concerts I ever went to. They played at our college in 1981. My friends and I were playing frisbee in front of our dorms before the show. Three older dudes walked by and said hi. We went to the concert that evening and they were in the band!
Sorry I missed the premiere for this reaction. I got to see Marshall Tucker Band back in the 80's and loved the concert. Just learned they are still performing.
Saw them back in the day and they just kept playing and playing, brought out the opening act and played some more with them, and kept playing until the owners of the venue cut the lights and the power sometime past midnight.
I've listened to this song a thousand times, but I'd never seen this video. I just noticed that he uses no guitar pick, and flat thumbs the guitar strings That absolutely explains his tone now that i see him playing that way. It's awesome to learn something new about something old to you. Love it.
Toy Caldwell was such a great singer, similar to John Fogerty. Your reactions let me experience this old stuff like it was new again. I'm 71 years old. Thank you! ☺✌🧡, PJ
This is how music was meant to be played and listened to ! You can feel the musicians and their performance ! Unlike today’s music that is mix and master and electronically enhanced, and the artist only gets half the credit, the sound rooms that mix & master get the other half ! If you want a breath of fresh air in all this current mix & mastered music, check out a young lady that still performs OLD SCHOOL, like you just heard here LIVE ! Look up from Ireland Allie Sherlock and check out her RUclips channel, she will make you feel her music just like you did in this video ! Take a look and listen and enjoy music the way it was meant to be enjoyed ! 🎤🎸🎼
It makes me laugh when people go crazy over fashion and music when I was a kid. I do miss it but it’s nice to see young people like you appreciate great music from my childhood. Thank you.
They were genuine back in the day. That's why it's different. These are real down home South Carolina boys. They loved the music first.. Everything else was icing on the cake.
Couldn't wait to get this album when it came out. I hope your baby is doing very well. What in the world did that woman do. It must have been horrible. Lol. Those were wonderful times.
They were big back in the 70s. This was playing when I went into the army. Country Rock was a term often used with this band because of the obvious country influence. Thanks for doing this.
MTB was one of my favorite bands. Southern Rock was big and no one did it like MTB. These boys melded rock, blues, jazz and even a little C&W into their sound. The "Carolina Dreams" album is a favorite, start to finish. A wrangler and a rambler "Heard It In A Love Song". Those "Desert Skies" wouldn't be out of place in a cowboy movie starring Gene Autry and "Fire On The Mountain", from the album of the same name, is straight out Carolina and into the wild west. Man, the '70s were something.
Marshal Tucker Band was the first album I played on the air as a teenage DJ at my hometown radio station back in 1976. I was supposed to only play classic country western, none of the 'new' stuff that was out there. I got in a bit of trouble but the owner's son had my back - it was his album! I got in a lot more trouble playing 'Jesus Christ Superstar' at Easter but that's a different story. I have always had a soft spot for Marshall Tucker's music since then. Thank you, Schnell for this reaction! You're right, it does open a time capsule for me, one nearly fifty years in the making!
I agree with you about the lead-singer/guitarist's laid-back air/demeanour. I Ioved this back when it came out. His name, btw, is Toy Caldwell and he was the main songwriter for the band too. I just love that fluid descending lick he plays at the end. Perfection. He lasted with them another 10 years after this, and lasted on earth another 10 years after that. Rest In Peace, man. Edit: I second Dagmar S.'s endorsement of 'Fire on the Mountain', and 'Heard It In A Love Song' in particular. Cheers and ciao for now, bella. 😘👍🎶❤️🇨🇦
The 60's, 70's, and parts of the 80's were the greatest yrs ever for Rock-n-Roll, imho. So glad to see you using your platform to relive many of these great moments! I was born in 1960 so, I grew up listening to ALL of this awesome music! Thank you, Schnell! You rock, young Lady! Love ya, 😘😘💕💕
I saw them live 4 times back then.. BTW early on, before they even has a real name, they rented a hall to practice and it contained a piano. There was note on the piano from a piano tuner named/signed "Marshall Tucker". Liking the name, that is what they named the band,.
Schnell MTB are still touring with one original member (founding). His name is Doug Gray, lead singer except this one. Doug is the one playing tambourine in this video. Sometimes, he plays keyboards.
I saw Marshall Tucker and the Doobie Brothers together in concert in the 70s at the Hartford Civic Center in Connecticut. That was one great concert!!Being 72 now this brought back a great memory. Thanks!!
Went to high school with them. In 1976 they showed up and played a full concert at our high school reunion. In high school their band was the "Rants". Mr. Marshall Tucker was the piano tuner at the local piano store.
Talent was in abundance in the '60's & '70's. You could spend a lifetime just reacting to '70's music and be amazed at it all. A new "Hall of Fame" type song/album released every week. It was a glorious time to live through. Sadly, nothing like that exists today.
I always liked these guys. This came out just before I rotated back to the states. The soundtrack of my life. There were so many of us boomers there were always a talented few who could play and sing for a bunch of us who wanted to listen. Thanks for covering it. Check out Phoebe Snow. She is excellent also.
I grew up with this, and it's stood the test of time. A feel good song about a guy so down he's ready to climb a mountain and jump off. They pulled it off flawlessly.
Saw the Marshall Tucker Band a couple times back in the 70's. You said it perfectly. Simple and effective. They are great live. The guitar work is excellent. Great reaction.
Hello beautiful human!!!❤ They are part of the southern rock trend that started with The Allman Brothers and Marshall Tucker. I hope you noticed that he's playing the electric guitar with his thumb!!! Amazing musical and vocal performance! I love your reactions!!! 💕

Marshall tucker band they got a song called virginia v a lock, the state of virginia? Yeah, that's right, virginia by marshall clinton
They do a live album with Charlie Danit's awesome. Yeah, but I've got a song in my own way. In my own way, by the marshall tucker band school😅😅😅😅😅😅

A Marine.. SFMF
👍🇨🇦
Thanks, Marines !
Played every note with his thumb
Toy got wounded and instead of going home he went back to finish his tour with his fellow Marines. Purple Heart recipient. A true hero. RIP Toy Caldwell.
Perhaps you can understand why we old-timers have a hard time with newer non instrumental bands and autotuned music?
Real music no longer exists. Good thing we had cameras in the 60s-70s.
Amen
We knew it would happen too.
Oldies but goodies for a reason😊

That's Toy Caldwell leading this song. Combat Marine wounded in Vietnam co-founded the band after he got back home to South Carolina.

Me too God I miss the originals so bad.
Great reaction!!! If you like blues Stevie ray vaughn Texas flood live from elmacambo will blow your mind.
Toy Caldwell lost both his younger brothers (Tommy next to him playing bass and his youngest brother Tim) within a month of each other in 1980 to car accidents. He was also a United States Marine Corps Vietnam War combat vet (WIA). That's him singing with incredible soul and thumbpicking that beautiful Gibson Les Paul. Thank you for everything brother.

When someone says "lord" ,you know he's hurting

He lived near me in the midlands of SC what a great man =) The band did send him a gold record which he was very proud of ! I think they are still playing great southern rock !!
I’ve always gotten a chuckle from the line about taking a train “all the way to Georgia” from South Carolina.
Toy Caldwell (lead singer) was a Vietnam vet and had been awarded a Purple Heart
Another great song by the marshel tucker band is heard it in a love song I'm sure you would enjoy it too 😀
"Gonna buy me a ticket, as far as I can, I ain't never comin' back....
"Board me a southbound, all the way to Georgia, 'til the train runs outta track.
Who writes poetry like that anymore?
These guys were low profile and played honest feelings

SO many bands and songs but so little time!
peace
Back in the day...my high school days...growing up 30 miles from Spartanburg, South Carolina, home of Toy, Tommy, and the rest of the Marshall Tucker Band. My nephew who studied music in college, took drum lessons from drummer Paul Riddle.
Toy Caldwell is a NAtional Heroe and LEgend. This song is one of the GOATS of southern Rock ever.

This was my last year in high school. They were one of many great southern bands, both country and rock. I saw them along with The Outlaws and Lynyrd Skynyrd at an outdoor festival.
With real musical instruments and no autotune engineered baloney. I loved this music,
Great band breaking out with that southern ROCK ,fun watching your reaction try Alman brother band " whipping post "
One of my favorite bands ever , seen them 12 times, with Toy and without ,
I saw them live just a couple of weeks before this video was made. It was my very first rock concert. They were an opening act for Mahavishnu Orchestra, but MTB had just started to break out and make it big. I had never heard them until that night, but I was instantly a fan.

plaintive vocal wails; guitar licks unreal; backing vocals; steadfast drums like a heartbeat
They are part of the holy trinity of southern rock!!! The other two groups are the sllman brothers and lynard skynard!!!
The 50's - 90's was the golden age of music as far as I'm concerned and I'm glad to have witnessed a lot of it. Thanks for sharing.

Toy's Thumb should have its own place in the hall of Fame. Amazes me with his precision
I am so glad that you got to watch Toy Caldwell performing. I knew him personally before he passed. A nicer person ever walked the earth.
Fire on the mountain is another great song by them
Just one of their major hits and an iconic song of the early 70's.

Hi Schnell. It’s nice to connect with you here❤…Loved your reaction to this.
Southern rock bands were great live bands. The dual and triple guitar playing was a thrill to watch.
They were genuine back in the day. That's why it's different. These are real down home South Carolina boys. They loved the music first.. Everything else was icing on the cake.
Couldn't wait to get this album when it came out. I hope your baby is doing very well. What in the world did that woman do. It must have been horrible. Lol. Those were wonderful times.
The sound of my youth. Saw them twice in the 70’s. Such a great band! Love your reaction.
Great review, with a great band! By the way, with a 1 year old you are on the clock 24-7-365.
Grew up with this; making me feel old girl. But we did have the best music, hottest cars and prettiest girls.
It's before Video killed the radio Star..🎸⛵
They were big back in the 70s. This was playing when I went into the army. Country Rock was a term often used with this band because of the obvious country influence. Thanks for doing this.

I got in a lot more trouble playing 'Jesus Christ Superstar' at Easter but that's a different story. I have always had a soft spot for Marshall Tucker's music since then. Thank you, Schnell for this reaction! You're right, it does open a time capsule for me, one nearly fifty years in the making!
I agree with you about the lead-singer/guitarist's laid-back air/demeanour. I Ioved this back when it came out.
His name, btw, is Toy Caldwell and he was the main songwriter for the band too. I just love that fluid descending lick he plays at the end. Perfection.
He lasted with them another 10 years after this, and lasted on earth another 10 years after that. Rest In Peace, man.
Edit: I second Dagmar S.'s endorsement of 'Fire on the Mountain', and 'Heard It In A Love Song' in particular. Cheers and ciao for now, bella. 😘👍🎶❤️🇨🇦
The 60's, 70's, and parts of the 80's were the greatest yrs ever for Rock-n-Roll, imho.
So glad to see you using your platform to relive many of these great moments!
I was born in 1960 so, I grew up listening to ALL of this awesome music!
Thank you, Schnell!
You rock, young Lady!
Love ya, 😘😘💕💕
I saw them live 4 times back then..
BTW early on, before they even has a real name, they rented a hall to practice and it contained a piano. There was note on the piano from a piano tuner named/signed "Marshall Tucker". Liking the name, that is what they named the band,.

MTB are still touring with one original member (founding). His name is Doug Gray, lead singer except this one. Doug is the one playing tambourine in this video. Sometimes, he plays keyboards.
I saw Marshall Tucker and the Doobie Brothers together in concert in the 70s at the Hartford Civic Center in Connecticut. That was one great concert!!Being 72 now this brought back a great memory. Thanks!!
As someone who lived in the 60's welcome to our music! ❤
Went to high school with them. In 1976 they showed up and played a full concert at our high school reunion. In high school their band was the "Rants". Mr. Marshall Tucker was the piano tuner at the local piano store.
This is Southern Rock (country Rock)
Big in the 70's A lot of pop a top and smoke to this music
btw these boys were Vietnam Vets.
It was rock evolving. It was fresh, warm and rewarding. Living thru that change was an awesome time.
So talented and BEAUTIFUL!!
Talent was in abundance in the '60's & '70's. You could spend a lifetime just reacting to '70's music and be amazed at it all. A new "Hall of Fame" type song/album released every week. It was a glorious time to live through. Sadly, nothing like that exists today.
Great reaction! Marshall Tucker was one of my favorite southern rock bands!
I always liked these guys. This came out just before I rotated back to the states. The soundtrack of my life. There were so many of us boomers there were always a talented few who could play and sing for a bunch of us who wanted to listen. Thanks for covering it. Check out Phoebe Snow. She is excellent also.
You dont need distractions if you have talent 💯 👌
HOME Free you should check out
This is my go to karaoke song 😊
I had the honor to jam with them on this song back in 2014, Toy was a very underrated player, Wish he was still alive when I got to play with MTB.
I grew up with this, and it's stood the test of time. A feel good song about a guy so down he's ready to climb a mountain and jump off. They pulled it off flawlessly.
You seem to be genuinely enjoying the music that has meant so much to me. Great reaction. Thank you.
Saw the Marshall Tucker Band a couple times back in the 70's. You said it perfectly. Simple and effective. They are great live. The guitar work is excellent. Great reaction.
Just Outstanding Music Period. Thanks for sharing this classic time piece.
So many great tunes by Marshall Tucker, Toy Caldwell is so soulful!!
Hello beautiful human!!!❤ They are part of the southern rock trend that started with The Allman Brothers and Marshall Tucker. I hope you noticed that he's playing the electric guitar with his thumb!!! Amazing musical and vocal performance! I love your reactions!!! 💕
