  • I hung around tommy,, he was up in boulder and I was in westminster,,, him larry ferris and danny brines,,, great times back then,,, to bad he post toasted himself on heroin,,, everytime I hear this song,, thats it for me,, post toasted

  • Great work PostToastie! When I first came across this I hadn't heard this for maybe 20 years and got goose bumps hearing it.

  • i'm pretty sure i saw tommy bolin with pat travers and rick darringer in san bernardino in 1976, but i'm going to have to hear something else first, 'cause i do not remember this....

  • @m1kewithaone awesome

  • Who isn't in love with Tootsie Too? God Bless Tom.

  • a tasty treat for those with ears to hear...

  • People people please for awhile just hear what was lost all those days ago. And  hear the cost.

    Love you Tommy

  • Life respect...so much to live for ! `1

  • one of the classic UNDER-RATED GEMS of the era...and will apparently remain that way from the look of posts like ingsok. Please leave music like this alone for those of us who were actually there and got off on this far out magic.

  • Where in the Hell is this promised land.............Seek it...... Tootsie Too....... Missing Tommy.

  • has anyone out there read the only book on tommy bolin(touched by magic)

  • @ilovetofish100 it is a good book, it is quotes from family, friends and people from the music world, it tells of his early life until his death, and even gives info about him after his death and some of the projects that have taken place

  • ce type était génial !!

  • Thank you so much Poat Tostie for sharing the incredible music Tommy left! I can't stop hearing it all day long! Love him!

  • The favourite of that LP, listened millions of times ... haha ^^

  • Have no record player and so I haven't heard this in a very long time. Great song...thanks so much!

  • is that david sandborn on sax?

  • Go to ebay and search for

    "Tommy Bolin Four Photo set"

    Awesome pics of Tommy!

  • God Bless Tom, and those lyrics spoke to me way back when I was 19.

  • Mom's have it too! The 70's wouldn't be the 70's without Tommy

  • sioux city native, tommy bolin the only thing great about this city, but what happened to the festivals the use to be down by the river and johny use to play, need to get back to the roots music not dollar signs

  • my dad has this record

  • lol alot of peoples dads do

  • hahaha i know hu

  • oh yes

  • @theuglyhairmonster

    yeah, im one of those dads!

  • Youre a cool dad!!

  • My favorite record of all time!

  • Home boy from Denver burned out too soon, God only knows what he and Jimi would be doing if there were still around, prolly would have played together at some point. Damn dem drugs.

  • For me personally, this album brings back such incredible memories along with some wild/scary times. Sorry to say I was "gone" most of the decade myself (esp the mid to late yrs) but thank God I came away intact. So many including Tommy didn't : ( RIP Tommy

  • I think Jan Hammer played on this, too. Quite a lineup of talent on this album!

  • Hammer played drums on this track, read about in Greg Prato's new  book "Touched By Magic"

  • Desde Argentina, emociona escucharte Gran Tommy, por siempre en mi corazón............

  • i think jeff porcaro is the drummer,he also has since passed on

  • That's supposed to be Jan Hammer on the drums

    (he himself declares so)

  • se ponía fino de jamaro, el tío

  • Incredible music Tommy gave us!! We are from the same town, knew his family well. Good people!

  • Im also from Iowa . Never got to meet Tommy But knew His brother Johny fom White Noize. Tommy is very under rated and missed verry much to this day.

  • Wow, I had forgot this one. Great to hear. Great tune, People, People. Love the sax, Tommy had a style no one could touch.

    Marching Powder, holy shit, everything on here was just timeless. Teaser is an absolute classic in rock lore.

    I think too much gets said about Tommy's substance abuse and not enough gets said about his incredible work ethic. The man had to be working on two and three things at once. By the time he died at 25 he had this huge collection of work.

  • Lay Down Sally backwards!

  • So Sammi do you like him? I LOVE HIM!

  • hey sawyer. like you said he knew he would die soon...........

  • Easy that way huh ;P

    o-o :P

  • Well my great great great grandmother knows his family really well.

  • He is amazing, such a wonderful man. It is such a shame he passed away. Drugs are killing! This song is so powerful I can listen to it all day. My family is born in Sioux City were he was born. My dad knows some of his family.

  • All this makes me sad. When I remember these times, it seems to be like yesterday. The sky was falling down - Tommy´s chance to show all the people that he is really the best, passed by forever.

  • age 16, a friend gave me a tape of both teaser and private eyes to listen to on a long car trip in 1977, i had never heard of him,31 years later i still listen to it and love it,and think of him when i improv . big! big! big! influence for me!then theirs jimi

  • Love these 2 songs, Tommy was King

  • Tommy Bolin was Great

  • is there any footage of Tommy playing marching powder live?

  • Tommy Bolin & Tamas Barta = My two Gods

  • Great song, but unfortunately I can't listen to David Sanborn anymore without thinking lite jazz. Kinda ruins the song.

  • Anyone know why Tommy's vocals are almost completely drowned out by the music on the whips and roses version of this song? With all the good work done on those comps, that was really disappointing

  • what a numer, makes bob marley sound like faecal matter

  • Tommy Bolin was kiiiiing

  • Wow, marching powder! This song definitely influenced later bands like the spin doctors,i can hear this song in "shinbone alley/hard to exist" from pockey full of kryptonite.

  • Oh, I like your style!!!

  • OMG just rock on bother,thanks Tommy

  • thanks toastie...like a lock of my friends hair

  • I love this song, have it on cd. I was turned onto it on a late night public comedy radio show in DC called "Shaved Face" on WPFW in Washington, DC, I believe the host was named Wayne Middleton.

  • Teaser is a great album toastie ... thanx for uploading it on youtube, have not heard this in a long long time, brings back alot of fond memories of the 70's ... too bad Tommy's not here today, I can just imagine the kind of music he would be creating ...its a shame he's gone. He was definitely too young to die at the same time he certainly lived his life to the fullest and gave everything he had as a performer as well ... R.I.P Tommy B.

  • I've been listening to TB for 25 years. Check out a band called Moxy, he helped them get started, their early stuff had him playing solo's. He also did some great things with the James Gang after Joe Walsh left.

  • He was so awesome.........Damn drugs.........

  • Saaaa_freekin_weeeeeeet

  • This is a Great Album, if you don't have it, Go buy it NOW!

  • It s hard to find it :(

  • But thx PostToastie ^^

  • I'm another one of those "haven't heard this for 20 years" guys and Marching Powder is still a masterpiece.

    I was a Jan Hammer nut back then and gee, can anyone tell it's him? LOL

    Tommy was SOOOOO good. Can you imagine what he'd be doing now?

  • Great song! Especially adding David Sanborn to the mix...wonderful!

  • . . . Michael Walden on drums - Marching Powder

  • Haven't heard this in well over 20 years, yet still remember every word, every note, every pause as if it were yesterday. Is there anyone on earth who's heard this and NOT played wild air guitar to it? Made me choked up a bit for his past and for mine. Wagged that vinyl album around in my youth through countless apartment move every year. KimH, hope you still have my lifetime vinyl collection, wherever you are!

  • yes, one of the best, I think too,

    also like rhandy roads....... god bless them

    Karl

  • If you're not here. Keep Trying...... Tommy's the Man.

  • Tommy Bolin is now dead for 30 years. I still

    remember him as one of the greatest musicians ever.

  • He was so cool.

  • Marching Powder is the kind of direction Deep Purple would have headed I think if it had all held together and Bolin was still around

  • Tommy was the best. The pride of Sioux City, Iowa.
