ok heres the story to this post. My brother was at this show. He and his friends drove 8hrs through a snow storm to get to the jam from St. Louis. they didn't have tickets but talked to the road crew and they let them in. its classic. i remember being five years old and loving Caballo Diablo. I posted this for u Rick. You showed me what music is supposed to be.
When the America peaked..been downhill since these times..Praise you Jesus for all my fine family on this stage..😊
How the Hell did we go from musical greatness like this to the crap we have now? These guys were awesome musicians and talents. Now it's more about image and choreographed dance moves. Somebody Put me out of my misery. Please.
I have a friend that's about 55 now. He actually thinks "shredding" is real guitar playing instead of the bullshit noise it really is. Just notes with no beginning, middle nor end, NO JOURNEY OR STORY, just fast notes that tell no story.
Move over bb king . This just tears it up
This group of musicians is fantastic. Dickey betts was really coming into his own this era. Seen Jimmy hall the other day. That man's voice is still awesome and his harmonica playing.
Dickey was already a legendary guitarist and multi-million selling songwriter with the Allman Brothers at the time of this performance. He had come into his own four years earlier on the ABB's Fillmore East record. His composition on that album titled 'In Memory of Elizabeth Reed' is a timeless masterpiece. His huge hit song 'Ramblin' Man' had come out in 1973. His performance here, while tasteful, is very restrained, appropriately for such a large ensemble.
I thought Toy and Charlie stepped on Dickey and wouldn’t give him a chance to cut loose. He was definitely a more refined guitarist than those two. Toy and Charlie were great players but Dickey with Duane were on a level all to themselves. Dickey was great with Dan Toler when I first saw The ABB in 1979 and in 1981. He was great with Warren Haynes the 15 times I saw them in the 90’s. Saw them on their 40th anniversary tour in 2009 with Warren and Derek Trucks. The playing was great but it didn’t have the same vibe without Dickey. Every tune turned into a 20 minute guitar jam, it got old after the first 5 tunes.
Mr Caldwell, Daniels, Betts etc etc.......Outstanding piece of video!! at 60 having grown up as this transpired with a stereo, guitar in my hand and headphones in my room at night......No wondrr all we dreamt of was being stars!!!
I'm 65 years old first time I saw Marshall Tucker Band was in 1972 with the Outlaws and 38 Special Marshall Tucker Band to me is the best band in the entire world they made me who I am today by their incredible writing their values who they stood for how they treated their women just an amazing amazing group of guys I've seen him over 20 times I met every one of them except for Tommy who died 1980 I cried like a baby the day that happened another great show with Sunshine Jam 76 in Jacksonville Florida what an amazing show
Southern Rock/Blues/Jazz Fusion!!
This has got to be one one of the great covers of all time. Doug's voice rounds out the awsome abilities of all of these great musicians. i wish it was half this strong still. MTB needs to be in the Rock Hall of Fame!
Yep !!!
You are right!
Your darn right
A very young Jimmy Hall on harp. What an incredible assembly of musicians. It aint a party till Jimmy shows up.
That was world class on every level .
Grew up listening and loving them through all of the ups and downs of life!
Will be 64 the 25th, still listening!
It is a piece of history that can not be redone anymore. There are to many missing people to do this again. T.Z. keep the keys in heaven!!! Rip
Just a bunch of guys from Dixie! I love Charlie! MTB and Mr.Betts. I have met all of them. Played at Stan's with Tazz one night in the 80's. They just don't make them like that anymore. Thank you for all you have done for me ! Keeping it real I learned a lot. Each night You all took me to school.
And Rest In Peace Charlie
Who is on keys? Thanks
Wow!!! I never get enough of this video. Experts at work!!!
So much talent on that stage. I'm lucky to have shared a stage with most of them.....
Weren't you a drummer for CDB?
Wore out the LP album within this performance. Surprised when decades later a DVD came out.
Alot of talent up there that tommy caldwell introduced, my god what a group of guys who made many great albums
My God how did I miss this...and how I miss the dearly departed :-(
I am just so freaking happy at this moment. ..my mind is blown away... incredible job .This is a masterpiece and a treasure of music...
ya all cant beat This Jam,RIp my Friends,Seen them all,Poppa.
For those of us that grew up in the 70s with the heyday of rock n roll coming out of the south, this is the ultimate snapshot available on video. It's a time capsule for amazing musicianship in a unique collaborative setting. And it shreds endlessly! Thank you for posting.
Some of the greatest 🎸 pickings you will ever hear absolutely 💕❤️💕💙
Toy Caldwell and Dickie Betts swaping licks. How much better can it get.
Excellent! ❤❤❤
WOW. I was at this show!! In the fall of '74 I began my freshman year at Vanderbilt in Nashville. I'd been a serious ABB fan since '69, and was heavily into Southern Rock. Nashville was a GREAT place to be at the time. Lots of Southern Rock, as well as the emergence of Outlaw Country (Willie, Waylon, etc.). The Volunteer Jams were always great combinations of both genres, and generally just great big blowouts. Tremendous parties!!! (See you at Bear Creek, Magnoliafest, and Wanee!)
Nashville will never be the same
one of best jams!
1975 i was drivin my 55 chevy to shoneys and harding mall was fulla CDB busses headed out on tour, rock on Charley...
I cruised there and Thompson Lane Shoney's
I was there at the same time. 74-76. Went the back way between them by Armory Dr to avoid Metro. Good times.
I completely fell in love with music when I first heard this record. Absolutely fantastic jam. This video shows it all transforming before our eyes. Doug Grey is my favorite male vocalist. He kills it here.
I live about 3 miles from the graves of Toy and Tommy Caldwell. I go and pay my respects regularly. I put a video on RUclips how to find each of their graves if you're ever in the Spartanburg South Carolina area.
Among rock's all-time iconic guitar players, few if any had more jazz influence in their playing than The Marshall Tucker Band's Toy Caldwell, who studied jazz legend Wes Montgomery's style on guitar at length and the the late, great Alvin Lee of Ten Years After fame who had legendary jazz genius Django Reinhart as one of his earliest guitar influences, and when playing live, quite often you would hear those jazz influences come pouring out in Toy and Alvin's playing.
Toy could hang with dicky Betts....that's an amazing faceoff
Bb king who . Sorry but this song rocked it. This song should have gotten more air play. A masterpiece
Really this is the cream of the crop as far as southern rock gods are concerned.
If I could, I would add just a few more players - All the Skynyrd guitarists - Gary Rossington, Steve Gaines, Ed King and Allen Collins; Rickey Medlocke of Blackfoot and currently with Skynyrd and Billy F. Gibbons from ZZ Top.
giving me the chills!
I love it!
Flawless.
I had this album (gone now) so I am very glad this is here, I also bought the DVD, I feel this is one of the greatest performances EVER. Thanks for posting.
Best ever !
💈. 💈 Evening Edwardo.. I'm from Kenosha, Wisconsin- travelled 4 miles to Carthage College here in town, then 2 nights back in 1975-6: to catch them in 2nd row. and 5th row- Fantastic !!! And The Thrill is No Gone Brother ~ thanx for the memo, music -
BEFORE THE GREAT MINDS OF MUSIC COULD THINK, HERE, THEY PLAYED....
Mighty fine.
Them notes he hit. SANG
I would love to have this on dvd!!
Is it country, jazz, rock, fusion??? Maybe all of the above.
Nobody did it better than MTB
I wish I could break fourth wall and end up there in the video
That's like riding on a big ole Magic Carpet...
F.,.. Awesome!!
12.22.2021. Those were the days that were.
Still Great.
Have the Album, had it converted to CD and framed it! LOVE IT! Going to see Dickey next week in concert!
yeh baby !!!!!!!!!!!! Did anyone see charlie at convention hall asbury park nj back in the 70 what a great show !
What’s ashame is only betts is in the rock hall of fame
if ever their could have possibly been one more member of marshall tucker it would have to be jimmy hall of wet willie....listen to him follow jerry and blow that harmonica....great version
Man what fucking lineup.
this is f'ing great!
It really is
Thank you Rick for inspiring Edweird33 and eventually leading him to post this
Pick'n ya'all at it's best
The original MTB not in the R&R Hall. Weird.
I agree
Man, dickie betts embarrassed me way out here 45 years later, he was just in the way that night
Dickey killed that jam the second he strapped on his git. So evident that he wasn't into it(who knows why) Could've been for a good reason. Who knows but what shame cuz Charlie and Toy were ready to rip!
@paulaluce I dont think Dickie was very happy in this, I think he wasn't in the best of moods. I wanted him to rip it up. I was hoping for that...
Should of let Jimmy hall sang his voice is incredible
Looks like Toy taking them all to school. I know Dickey to be the the " Great One", from the great ABB, but here, he seems uninterested and a little off. Even ol man Daniels is ripping it. Oh well, we all have good and bad days.RIP to D. Betts, my favorite Southern rock guitarist.
Dickie looks stoned.......no surprise.
fuck you dude. you have no talent.
We was all stoned back then. You didn't have to worry about having to piss in a cup or get your hair snipped just to get a job or keep the one you had. That generation behind us or the one behind them really fucked us on the good time
@@johnnynbk Thank you for saying what i was thinking . The Allmans were as stoned as anyone at The Fillmore East & West , Well they turned in perhaps the greatest performances every time they hit the stage . Dickey had his problems during the years this jam took place & yes it hurt him but that's no reason to belittle one of the finest players in Rock . At 77 he's still with us & when he goes no one will ever forget what he gave to the world of great guitar players
With all that talent on one stage, Mr Betts still the baddest mother there.
I'm certainly going to disagree with that , he done a number one job at number 2 for duane and Warren, he's pretentious and hard to work with, but as you said , a great guitarist
Who’s on harmonica?
Jimmy Hall y'all from Wet Willie!!
Dickie was totally fucked up.
Great jam. And others ... I see Jimmy Hall, Chuck Leavell .... kinda dark in the back.
Dickey B gets to stretch out here ... er, I mean ... gets to be stretchered out here.
I'm kidding, but man he is shitfaced & not into it. Bummer.
BOOOOOOOOOO!!!
