True enough. But every band or song doesn't have to be hammered into a pigeon-hole to still be enjoyable. Enjoy the music and let it choose its own home, if it needs one. This song brings a tear to my eye every time.
@@Whoozerdaddy Deal with it. I'm 60, that's how music was done. Back then it's how we found & listened to music we preferred. Our music came from radio stations, record stores & concerts. They were all categorized. Otherwise it would be like rummaging through miscellaneous crates of albums at a garage sale! Even when we listened to a radio station that played the type of music we liked, we had to wait all day till the DJ played a song we wanted to hear. And don't even get me started about how if we didn't have the $ to buy an album or only wanted a single song, we'd spend hours in front of the radio with our tape recorders ready to simultaneously push play & record hoping we'd catch it from the beginning & cussing at the DJ who'd talk during the song! Our struggle was Real!! 😅
Getting drafted and having your buddies blown to pieces right in front of your eyes in a green jungle hell was kind of a drag..we had great music, though...
I really must say that for the ones who were privileged to see and hear these bands from that era: we had the greatest bands of all time. There was literally something for everyone!
One of my favorites from this group! "Fire On The Mountain" is up there, too. "Heard It In A Love Song" features Jerry Eubanks on flute and was their highest charting single. The group name comes from a piano tuner in Spartanburg, South Carolina where the band originated!💯K....Almost there!!!!!!!!
MollyBoy I'm 70 years old and one of the great things about your reaction videos is I am also listening to great music that I missed first time round. I hadn't listened to the Marshall Tucker Band before now and what a great song, superb vocals, musicianship, everything that goes into making a very good band. You are not the only one on a learning curve son. Great channel, great music, and I'm feeling rejuvenated lol. Thank you.
Marshall Tucker was never a member of the band. Practicing in an abandoned warehouse and in desperate need of a name, the band saw a key ring on the key that unlocked the warehouse door for a piano tuner named Marshall Tucker and took it as the band name. The real Marshall Tucker, who happened to be blind as well, gave his blessing to the band to use his name, and the rest is history.
I believe he died not too long ago. RIP Born blind, Tucker learned to tune pianos at a boarding school for the blind and deaf. He tuned pianos for decades, including for famous performers like Lawrence Welk and Liberace. He died in January 2023 at the age of 99.
This performance is a perfect example of why you just have to let the music flow without digital editing (modern music). Seems like too many artists today are affraid to not sound perfect.
“Marshall Tucker” was the name of a blind piano tuner in Spartansburg, where the band rehearsed & noticed the name on a key. Like Lynyrd Skynyrd & Jethro Tull, unrelated to any band member. I got to see the band on the US Bicentennial, 7/4/76, with Jefferson Starship. Awesome band live. Check out “24 Hours at a Time” from the live Where We All Belong LP, Charlie Daniels sits in on fiddle. ✌️❤️🎶
me also, for 66. I was also the youngest of the group of kids. Music was everywhere, in our family, and our group of friends. Everyone had problems. No Beaver Cleavers for us. We had it all. A barn for a studio, every instrument you can name, from flute and brass, to a hella drum set, and everything in between. My cousin Gene was the singer for this song. I can still hear him...
@ hi Steph. I know what you mean. I was never musical but all my friends growing up were. Every weekend we gather around and just sit and play whatever songs we knew. Good times for sure.
😊 I was born in 1952. I rocked to my older sister's 50s rock and roll records. Then rocked to the music of the 60s and 70s. The 50s, 60s and 70s were my favorite.
@@anitamiller4351 I spend too much time in the past. LOL, while everyone taught me how to play whatever was there, I was a singer. I still sing, but I'm sure the neighbors wish I wouldn't. The dogs still like my singing....
Great reaction. We do believe you are really interested in music and taking it all in. We love your journey. Lots of bands are still out there to find. We love your shows.
Hey MB, the music hole you are exploring is deep and very wide. Thanks for playing songs from my younger days, that I haven't heard in decades. While it might make for interesting reactions, there is whole other path of instrumental music by people like Vangelis, Mike Oldfield, Jean-Michel Jarre, and Tangerine Dream to name a few of my favirites. You likely have heard Vangelis before, as he did the sound tracks for a lot of movies. Hope you can take the time to check them out.
Just flipped this on without sound because I'm at family Thanksgiving celebration. I could tell how ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE with this song MB by the look on his face! 😂❤ Can't wait to come back later and enjoy the full reaction! 🫶🏼
Back then , this was good quality recording. I have lived through the changes, from 8 tracks and 45s vinal to today's quality. The 70,s quality gives it character 🤘
The Marshall Tucker band was from my state of South Carolina in the southern U.S. . I was fortunate enough to see them live several times back in the 70s , fire performances 🔥🔥
I normally do not subscribe to youtuber channels, however being an old man and you covering such a pivotal music era of my life I could not resist. Your enthusiasm is infectious. Good Job !
Oh man my music memory kicked in the minute this started. I was 10 and the family was driving cross country to drop my brother off at college. That whole summer was a particular vibe and this song captures it perfectly.
You are right about the seventies! I was a teenager then and the music definitely was awesome and the best! Thx for your appreciation of it! It was great being a teenager then!!
@@sueo7529 Man, how did I miss that tour ? Sheesh, what an xln't line-up. That's as good as the Black and Blue concert (Black Sabbath & Blue Oyster Cult.) Most concerts were convoluted. ie Something like Styx & Frank Zappa. Or Star Castle with Bob Seeger.
@ I don't remember the exact date, but probably '74 or '75. I might still have ticket stub somewhere. The other most amazing lineup I saw was Richard Thompson, Bruce Cockburn and Dar Williams at a small outdoor amphitheater. They each did a set, then they all came on stage and played a few numbers together. That one was mind blowing!
@@sueo7529 Perhaps the Bishop, Tucker & Daniels line up never toured my town's venue. (wish they did) The latter line up you mentioned surely was a great show. I would have loved to have seen that one too.
Thanks, buddy. I'm in America and you could not have played a better song for me on this Thanksgiving day... You know the man Means it when he throws that growly "Lawd!" in there...
This video was recorded right here in Macon Georgia at the famous Grand Opera House! We have a rich history here with Lil Richard the Architect of Rock, Otis Redding the King of Soul & the Allman Brothers Band with Southern Rock! I live just 17 miles from the Allmans Bros Big House & so glad that I grew up here during the 60s, 70s & 80s when & where all this great music started & I got to see many of the great artists ✌💖☮
MTB, was the most progressive rock / jazz / blues all wrapped up in country. Very emotional and beautiful. I like Virginia and Heard it in a love song, too.
It’s great to listen to music I’ve heard with new appreciation because of fan recommendations. These songs were an important part of people’s lives and hold countless memories. Mollyboy, your channel gives that feeling many of us had when we were young and hanging out with our friends and getting excited about the new album we just bought! Mollyboy, 100k is coming to you because you’re honest about how you feel and so joyful when the song pushes those buttons for you! It make me want to bring you music you’ll truly enjoy!
Btw, in that vain, I would like to point you to the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin. One of her last performances, if not her last, was a tribute to the prolific songwriter, Carole King, at the Kennedy Center. It was a song Aretha sang in the 60’s, written by Carole, called “Natural Woman”. I won’t say more, except it’s one of those special moments you and fellow fans will really enjoy. I promise.
Yes! So glad you reacted to this one! Toy Caldwell was singing lead on this one, as well as lead guitar. No one named Marshall Tucker was actually in the band - they took their name from the name that was on speakers, I believe, or instruments they were using. Fun fact: the MTB gave The Charlie Daniels Band $1000 to get started when CDB was starting out. The 70s probably had the greatest range of music. If you haven't already, check out Bang a Gong (Get it On) by T Rex, fronted by the amazing Marc Bolan, who was really the pioneer of the glam pop that was big in the early 80s.
You’re right, I think it was on some crates at a warehouse they were practicing in. They were searching for a band name, spied Property Of Marshall Tucker, a blind piano tuner who they never met.
I’m so glad you did this version mate, I personally think it’s better than the album version. If you want more great Southern rock, check out Blackfoot - Highway Song, it’s another banger. Or Ramblin Man from the Allman Brothers is another perfect song. Enjoy bro ✌️
YES!!!! Southern Rock is a phenomenal genre -- Blackfoot, Molly Hatchet, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Outlaws, Marshall Tucker, Allman Brothers, 38 Special, Black Oak Arkansas, Rossington Collins Band. All outstanding.
@ it was a brilliant rendition of the album version, absolutely. I just feel it has more soul especially in this particular performance. The album version is more clean cut and doesn’t have as much added in, it’s still brilliant don’t get me wrong. I just feel this particular song excels with all the extras
The 70s was my childhood music and so I'm sure that I am biased but I do like music from all ages from ancient stuff through every decade of the 1900s and all the way up to now, including stuff that came out just this year. But somehow, the 70s just feels the best to me. And I say this as a musician as well.
I was a kid in the 70’s and a teen in the 80’s. For such a long time I thought the 80’s had the best music. But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve taken a deeper dive into the 70’s, particularly the stuff I was not exposed to as a kid, and I have changed my tune. Yes, there is timeless stuff from the 80’s, but the 70’s is where it’s at. Glad you enjoyed this one. This is just an amazing song. You should check out “One Fine Morning” by Lighthouse. I’ve only recently discovered it. It’s a great song.
😅 A band described as Blue's, Country,Jazz & Gospel, what a great Southern Rock Band from the 70's,👌Molly another of the Southern Rock Band's you should check out ✔️ Black Oak Arkansas "Lord have Mercy on my Soul", "Hot & Nasty"🔥, & "Jim Dandy"😂 all great l know you would like them 🤔 Peace 😊✌️ Gary
A buddy of mine and I went to a Marshall Tucker concert. It was an outside concert in July, the hottest month in the mid-west. Doug Grey was sweating profusely. My friend brought a cooler stocked with ice cold beer. We were leaning up against the stage. My friend made a motion to Dough while handing him the beer. Doug grabbed that beer and down it went in one gulp. Then Dough pointed at us then made a motion with his finger for us come up on stage, then he let us sit on stage for the rest of the concert It was Jammin'. man. Plus we got the VIP stage access treatment.
I grew up to this. I remember summer times in the Net yard. Putting nets together for the summer Salmon season. Sunn shining 5 crews hanging and sowing while The Marshall Tucker Band and BTO, Creedence and Bob Seager playing on a boombox. Another great one for The Marshall Tucker Band is "Fire on the Mountain".
I'm 71 and remember back when I had hair toking up and digging this tune. My god we had it good back then with the music...so many incredible bands with legit musicians & lyricists.
Fabulous request well played. Charlie Daniels (The Devil went Down to Georgia) did some collaborations with Marshall Tucker Band, and had said that The Marshall Tucker Band helped create and define Southern Rock. IMO the 70's had so much great music, so many genres.
This band is from Spartanburg, SC, which is an hour south of me. I met a couple of the members of MTB when they were working with a musician friend of mine. They were good guys; very down to earth. I do wish that you could have been raised when this great music was new, MollyBoy, but I'm glad you're here now.
You've really been hitting all the markers on your channel. I was born in the early 1960's, so the '70's were my musical awakening time. Bob Seger was my first concert. Having said that; I don't think I'm alone in wanting you to make an episode about the first concert you go to. Seeing great music live, is something film can't really capture. Because my wife and I are in our 60's we have some killer memories of great concerts. It doesn't really matter who the band is, if they're good the experience will be awesome. We live near Nashville, in the US so you can imagine the concert opportunities near Music City USA. Keep the reactions coming; I'm watching every single one of them! Great job! Can't wait to see you break the 100K mark!
We see the sincerity in your reaction and facial expressions, yet again MollyBoy! Toy Caldwell is the lead singer (on this song by MTB), his brother Tommy is on his left. Both had the distinctive method of picking with their thumb, if I’m not mistaken. You knocked it out of the park again!
Rip toy and Tommy. I got to know and became friends with Doug Gray in the 80s. Nicest guy in the world. One time he asked me if I was going to the show and I told him I didn't want to fight the traffic during spring break. He let me ride on the bus with him and the band from the hotel to the venue. What an experience!
I saw Marshal Tucker Band at a Bar outside of Albany in the 80's. We danced and they played their hearts out. His voice is so expressive and heartfelt. Plus the beautiful Flute. I miss this type of music.
Those of us that grew up with this music in our ears, in our days were the luckiest generation ever, in my humble opinion. When you said that this music makes you feel like you were there, it also takes us back to where we were at the time. Am lovin' your reactions, MB....take care and be well. Peace.
I learned to play this right straight from the Marshall Tucker Band. Went to see them in a bar in Cocoa Florida circa 1989, no body in the bar but my wife and I and the couple we went with. The guy and I were working on this song anyway, but they were cool, talked with us and showed us stuff. Really great guys.
It makes me so happy to see you enjoy music that was contemporary for some of us! I was 18 years old, fresh out of high school the year this was released. We were convinced that there had never been better music than Our music and 50 years later, I'm convinced we were right! Great reaction!
Great Song in a great genre! Molly Boy needs to hear Molly Hatchet soon! I'd suggest Flirtin' with Disaster, Gator Country, Fall of the Peacemakers, amongst others. Then, go for the Outlaws Green Grass and High Tides for the guitar-gasm.
Yes! MollyBoy will love Danny Joe Brown’s voice. Good Rockin’ is another for the list! “Foot stompin’ brothers, that’s what we are… no fancy dance, ain’t no superstar!”
The band name was actually a blind piano tuner from Spartanburg, South Carolina. Toy Caldwell was also a US Marine combat engineer during the Vietnam War. Was wounded in action making him a recipient of the Purple Heart Medal.
As a Gen X I love the appreciation you have for our generations music. Yes this is definitely Southern Rock. And I have been lucky enough to see them in concert more than once. Keep reacting to GREAT MUSIC and dive deep into all the catalogs
Great song. I was 19 in ‘73. So glad I was there. Vinyl was king in the 70s. Half my albums were warped from hitching across Canada with them in a knapsack. Had a hitching sign that said ANYWHERE. It was gold for getting a ride. Love your reactions. They bring it all back. Thanks Mollyboy. Come on 100k!
The lead singer for this song is Toy Caldwell , he was a Vietnam war veteran. RIP Toy
Toy Caldwell was wounded in Vietnam, and could've gone home, but he insisted on returning to his unit and finishing his tour of duty.
It was actually Doug Gray.
@@DeanMcBee-z1v Doug Gray it was.
@@DeanMcBee-z1vNope
@@DeanMcBee-z1v The lead vocalist on THIS SONG is Toy Caldwell. 🤨
Fact check yourself before you fact check others.
Marshal Tucker definitely Southern rock.
Spartanburg,SC boys. I used to go see them every Friday night. They are still touring and have one original member.
True enough. But every band or song doesn't have to be hammered into a pigeon-hole to still be enjoyable. Enjoy the music and let it choose its own home, if it needs one. This song brings a tear to my eye every time.
Fire on the Mountain…one of their hood ones too

Won't get any argument from me, I was born in '61😂❤❤❤

What was the best music of the 90’s? Only 4K away.
@@sydneybeanpugword has it, he could tune a piano but he couldn’t tuna fish.
Marshall Tucker was as much of a member of Marshall Tucker Band as Lynyrd Skynyrd was a member of Lynyrd Skynyrd.
The 1970's was the best time to be a teen ager in history.
Well….60’s was pretty cool too 😁✌️
It was full of hope for the future of mankind. So many great artists of all genres.
@helenespaulding7562 Groovy but was only 17 in 69 so loved the music but only started to participate 1969 onwards 🇬🇧 female.
We had the best music in the 70's....
The 70s had so much soul and hope.
It doesn't have to be a "perfect" recording 👍
Back then it was about the pure, live, raw, talent of a musician 🤘

That's right ✌️
This "current generation" has no clue on what they're missing. LoL
Auto-tune should be banned!

YES!!!! Southern Rock is a phenomenal genre -- Blackfoot, Molly Hatchet, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Outlaws, Marshall Tucker, Allman Brothers, 38 Special, Black Oak Arkansas, Rossington Collins Band. All outstanding.
I was amazed at how close it is to the album version.
@ it was a brilliant rendition of the album version, absolutely. I just feel it has more soul especially in this particular performance. The album version is more clean cut and doesn’t have as much added in, it’s still brilliant don’t get me wrong. I just feel this particular song excels with all the extras
@@stevea3271 all brilliant bands mate. I’m an Aussie and I’ve heard and enjoy all of them 😊
Southern Rock - yep!
Another great band from my youth. I saw them in the late seventies (79?) and it was a blast. A great show and a great memory ❣️❣️❣️💜❤️💕🎸
I've always loved this one. Such a great tune.
The 70s was my childhood music and so I'm sure that I am biased but I do like music from all ages from ancient stuff through every decade of the 1900s and all the way up to now, including stuff that came out just this year. But somehow, the 70s just feels the best to me. And I say this as a musician as well.
Toy Caldwell is the singers name. Just a year before this he was awarded a purple heart in Vietnam.

Another great band with a country rock sound is
“ALABAMA “
great harmonies!!

The Marshall Tucker band was a breath of fresh air in the Southern Rock era as you will see.
AW Yeah...One of the Greatest Southern Rock Anthems of all time!
Pure South Rock. Another great Southern Rock song try Whipping Post by the Allman Brothers. Another great Southern Rock band and song.✌️❤️
I was a kid in the 70’s and a teen in the 80’s. For such a long time I thought the 80’s had the best music. But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve taken a deeper dive into the 70’s, particularly the stuff I was not exposed to as a kid, and I have changed my tune. Yes, there is timeless stuff from the 80’s, but the 70’s is where it’s at.
Glad you enjoyed this one. This is just an amazing song.
You should check out “One Fine Morning” by Lighthouse. I’ve only recently discovered it. It’s a great song.
Definitely good ole Lighthouse...fantastic group 👍👍
Yes, they were major Southern Rock players for sure. It's nice to hear them today. One of my favorite 70s bands
😅 A band described as Blue's, Country,Jazz & Gospel, what a great Southern Rock Band from the 70's,👌Molly another of the Southern Rock Band's you should check out ✔️ Black Oak Arkansas "Lord have Mercy on my Soul", "Hot & Nasty"🔥, & "Jim Dandy"😂 all great l know you would like them 🤔 Peace 😊✌️ Gary
Don't forget 'When Electricity Came to Arkansas', a fan favorite off their debut album. (And yes: I'm originally from Arkansas. 😉
@@randallshaw9609 a good suggestion 👌 in 1972 -1976 college Michigan, we had a great love for Black Oak Arkansas 😊✌️Peace ☮️ Gary
More “BOB SEGER “please!!
And more CCR!!👍
A buddy of mine and I went to a Marshall Tucker concert. It was an outside concert in July, the hottest month in the mid-west. Doug Grey was sweating profusely. My friend brought a cooler stocked with ice cold beer. We were leaning up against the stage. My friend made a motion to Dough while handing him the beer. Doug grabbed that beer and down it went in one gulp. Then Dough pointed at us then made a motion with his finger for us come up on stage, then he let us sit on stage for the rest of the concert It was Jammin'. man. Plus we got the VIP stage access treatment.
All-time top 10 FAVORITE song ♥ You can hear in his voice how much this woman meant to him. Much love to all.
Yes MB this is Southern Rock.😊
I grew up to this. I remember summer times in the Net yard. Putting nets together for the summer Salmon season. Sunn shining 5 crews hanging and sowing while The Marshall Tucker Band and BTO, Creedence and Bob Seager playing on a boombox. Another great one for The Marshall Tucker Band is "Fire on the Mountain".
600 away from 100k!!! Great job dude, I had my mom subscribe to your channel just to help😂
Legend!
@MollyBoyTV 😁
I'm 71 and remember back when I had hair toking up and digging this tune. My god we had it good back then with the music...so many incredible bands with legit musicians & lyricists.
Fabulous request well played. Charlie Daniels (The Devil went Down to Georgia) did some collaborations with Marshall Tucker Band, and had said that The Marshall Tucker Band helped create and define Southern Rock. IMO the 70's had so much great music, so many genres.
This band is from Spartanburg, SC, which is an hour south of me. I met a couple of the members of MTB when they were working with a musician friend of mine. They were good guys; very down to earth. I do wish that you could have been raised when this great music was new, MollyBoy, but I'm glad you're here now.
You've really been hitting all the markers on your channel. I was born in the early 1960's, so the '70's were my musical awakening time. Bob Seger was my first concert. Having said that; I don't think I'm alone in wanting you to make an episode about the first concert you go to. Seeing great music live, is something film can't really capture. Because my wife and I are in our 60's we have some killer memories of great concerts. It doesn't really matter who the band is, if they're good the experience will be awesome. We live near Nashville, in the US so you can imagine the concert opportunities near Music City USA. Keep the reactions coming; I'm watching every single one of them! Great job! Can't wait to see you break the 100K mark!
Thank you!!! Your love of music just blossoms with every track ❤
Spartanburg SC boys. My hometown.
We see the sincerity in your reaction and facial expressions, yet again MollyBoy! Toy Caldwell is the lead singer (on this song by MTB), his brother Tommy is on his left. Both had the distinctive method of picking with their thumb, if I’m not mistaken. You knocked it out of the park again!
Love my southern boys!
Rip toy and Tommy. I got to know and became friends with Doug Gray in the 80s. Nicest guy in the world. One time he asked me if I was going to the show and I told him I didn't want to fight the traffic during spring break. He let me ride on the bus with him and the band from the hotel to the venue. What an experience!
Saw live my birthday
Welcome to Crossover tunes, jamming on both sides of the tracks! Enjoy MB.
I saw Marshal Tucker Band at a Bar outside of Albany in the 80's. We danced and they played their hearts out.
His voice is so expressive and heartfelt. Plus the beautiful Flute. I miss this type of music.
Those of us that grew up with this music in our ears, in our days were the luckiest generation ever, in my humble opinion. When you said that this music makes you feel like you were there, it also takes us back to where we were at the time. Am lovin' your reactions, MB....take care and be well. Peace.
Damn good song 🤘
I learned to play this right straight from the Marshall Tucker Band. Went to see them in a bar in Cocoa Florida circa 1989, no body in the bar but my wife and I and the couple we went with. The guy and I were working on this song anyway, but they were cool, talked with us and showed us stuff. Really great guys.
True...a standard for all local bands. HUGE crowd pleaser
It makes me so happy to see you enjoy music that was contemporary for some of us! I was 18 years old, fresh out of high school the year this was released. We were convinced that there had never been better music than Our music and 50 years later, I'm convinced we were right! Great reaction!
Such a great song. Southern rock at it’s finest.
Waylon Jennings did a great cover of this. He was one of Buddy Holly’s Crickets, BTW.
One of the greatest rock songs of all time. The Caldwell’s were incredibly talented.🤍
🤘🏼💀🤘🏼
This one is on MY Playlist,,,,, good job MB
I almost jumped our of my seat whe I opened this
You deserve to hear!....and we of course can hear it everyday!
"Bruv", no one doubts your sincerity. It's a real joy to watch you watch the music of my people.
Yet another 70's band that had cross-over success on the country charts. You are not "waffling" You are giving your viewers a genuine reaction.
Great Song in a great genre!
Molly Boy needs to hear Molly Hatchet soon!
I'd suggest Flirtin' with Disaster, Gator Country, Fall of the Peacemakers, amongst others.
Then, go for the Outlaws Green Grass and High Tides for the guitar-gasm.
Yes! MollyBoy will love Danny Joe Brown’s voice. Good Rockin’ is another for the list! “Foot stompin’ brothers, that’s what we are… no fancy dance, ain’t no superstar!”
The band name was actually a blind piano tuner from Spartanburg, South Carolina.
Toy Caldwell was also a US Marine combat engineer during the Vietnam War. Was wounded in action making him a recipient of the Purple Heart Medal.
I absolutely love Marshall Tucker. So glad I got to see them in concert. Do the Outlaws please if you liked this think you'd enjoy the Outlaws.
Stellar song and reaction! I don’t know why, but I needed this today ❤ Thanks MB
As a Gen X I love the appreciation you have for our generations music. Yes this is definitely Southern Rock. And I have been lucky enough to see them in concert more than once. Keep reacting to GREAT MUSIC and dive deep into all the catalogs
Marshall Tucker Band was on my turntable every day in the 70's. Toy Caldwell was such a unique talent. His guitar picking still eludes me.
Great song. I was 19 in ‘73. So glad I was there. Vinyl was king in the 70s. Half my albums were warped from hitching across Canada with them in a knapsack. Had a hitching sign that said ANYWHERE. It was gold for getting a ride. Love your reactions. They bring it all back. Thanks Mollyboy. Come on 100k!
Saw The MTB twice in the late 70’s. They were awesome live!
