Why are "Southern Rock" bands never inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame? How the hell can music like this be ignored? Some kind of conspiracy or politics maybe? Gotta be rigged.
I was Marshall Tucker open for the Doobie Brothers in 1974. Both bands rocked. This song is one of my all time favorites. It was a staple in my crowd.
Southern Rock is what saved the 70's. I saw MTB with CDB, Outlaws & Grinder switch in 1976 at the Miami Baseball Stadium... Charlie loved playing with these guys. A true family of Sothern Rockers
Caught Marshall Tucker 'bout 3x in '75-76. Charlie was touring with them and would always play with and be introduced by them. Even though Spartanburg based, they did a lot of the cowboy stuff, Toy (loved all his thumb downstrokes, like Wes Montgomery) even seems to have some western swing at times. Remember...If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band.
These guys were a band in the true sense... Everyone played to the top of their game. Awesome. Too bad Toy and Tommy died. What would they be like today?
@Thejimislim Didn't see this particular show but did see them play this with Charlie Daniels on fiddle. I think it was 1975. It was right after Long Hard Ride came out I know, because they opened the show with that.
Agreed, however the R&RHOF Sucks, there are so many lame non rock acts in the hall that it has failed to live up to it's name. Saw MTB a few times and they never failed to deliver the goods on stage, gotta love southen rock cause it always rolls...
rebred2006 Those were the days weren't they. I wish a great band like this would come out of the woodwork and light up the music world again, this stuff we hear today....you call that music!
I've been a fan of this great southern rock band forever, the 70's were the absolute best era for music and musical talent, this band was outstanding. I was at this very concert in Nashville in 75, it was amazing!! Remember this jam session well, well, what I could remember of it HAHA!! Oh, those were the days!
Let's not forget Tommy Caldwell! The whole band was amazing. Saw them in 1974 at the Greensboro Coliseum. Blew us away. Their first song was "How Can I Slow Down". I had never heard anything like it. The timing was perfect. I saw them again years later. Tommy was gone. Almost the same. I agree, Paul Riddle an amazing underrated drummer playing those yellow Pearls!!!!
Along w/ the Dead, ABB and a couple other west coast groups they were one of the 1st "jam bands"....what musicianship! How may bands incorporate flute solo's ( Tull maybe? ) and bass solo's ( the Who maybe? ) into their songs. Toy was one of the most soulful guitarists of all time.
How could you have a fiddle and a sax in a rock band? That's what it was like in the Gonzo South, folks. There weren't as many "rules" then as there are today.
#1 under-rated band of all time. These guys were unreal. If you were so unfortunate as to not be able to see them in the 70's you missed some of the best music ever played. People who know good tunes will be laughing when you bashers start attacking my post.
This is IMHO the 2nd best live rock song of all time (only Incident on 57th St can top it); this band was so hot at this time it humbles me to watch the video. This happens to be a great version, as well. We can't relive the past but thank goodness for audio and video recording. Lady GaGa my ass, LOL.
@rebreb2006 Anybody that knows great music won't bash you. If they do, they don't know shit. You could put UFO on that list too, right up there with them.
charlie sold out almost as bad as fuckin kenny rodgers. "i get up in the mornin. . .i get down in the afternoon. .! thet song made him famous, and to sanitize it after all these years fells like sandpaper on my soul. my old lady and i drove from ghicago all the way to jackson miss. to find the antioch baptist church and got a picture on the steps. thats how much i love the guy!
ii was fortunate to see them in spartan borough n.c there hoe town a dozn times or more them,wet willie,elvin bishop,skynard, charlie d, all the southern bands back in them days i was stationed at fort bragg just up the road apiece
Yo Swede, saw them in 73/74 too in LA with the Allman Bros. Never really liked Country until these guys. These songs bring back great memories. Smoke filled concerts. Didn't need to bring anything to get high. Just breath. Miss those days!
I first saw the Marshall Tucker Band at the New Year's Eve show '73-'74 at the Cow Palace in San Fransisco, along with the Allman Bros. Band and the Outlaws. What a show that was!
I knew right there the Marshall Tucker Band was going to be big! I saw them four more times during the '70's and every time it was better than the last time..
Why is it, that some of the best among us have leave us so soon...
One bad ass MF Southern Rockin Song EVER made. Bar Nunn (WY) These boys knew how to play. God bless Toy and Tommy RIP. Saw them in '78.Where have the good sounds (songs) gone??????
Been a fan for a very long time of MTB...in their early years they just tore it up. And by the wy I live here in Nashville and attended many of the Vol Jams where you really didn't know who just might show up. I was there for this one as well. Toy was just in another league.
This is one bad ass video!!! Toy,Tommy,George,Doug,Jerry,Paul& Charlie sawin on that fiddle,.....AWESOME !!! I love Tommy's solo,and what can you say about Toy that has'nt been said a thousand times? He's definitely "feelin it" here!!! They were a wonderful group.Too,too bad they suffered so much loss....What a band !!! Good 'ol southern boys,God love 'em....
although Cant you see is most famous song, this is my favorite. Its kicks ass, listen in car and you will be doing 90 mph on interstate beatin the hell outta your steering wheel, truley a sign of a badass song ! ROEBUCK SC BABY
I heard both Dickie Betts in the 70's & 80's but Dickie gets the backseat to Toy Live . If to listen to the clasics well we can discuss.Beause Fillmore East is five star. But I headd Toy fill a stadiun like few can
Toy Caldwell- so underated but was one of the best guitarists. Looks a little too coked out but played his ass off. Thanks for posting the video- brings back great memories
I don't see the coked out part? But anyways they played because they loved to play. New bands today play to become famous, thats been lost somewhere between FM and tv. Their from a generation of great music. God bless them, and the USA.
Ha! Think they were all coked out. Just blazing. Yes Toy was way under rated. In my music collection hes there with Hendrix, Wes Montgomery and the best of them. These Carolina boys sure could play.
Man I use to drink and drink and drink with my best friends while listening to Marshall Tucker all the way from sun down to sun up! Thanks for posting this!
the whole band at the time was underrated. Toy Caldwell on guitar is GOD. i wish i got to meet him before he passed . i was just a tiny kid . But this song on the album Where we belong , is just a great driving song. nothing gets me happy when im out delivering pizzas.
Heard this for the first time somewhere in '77 living in Amsterdam and played it loud and mean without a break ever since!! The best Tucker song ever!!
Must play song when riding US 59 north (across East Texas)--Houston to Texarkana--a 250+ mile, 6 hour, pine-forested ride to the Arkansas Line from Texas' largest city.
This is music. Played - albeit al little too fast- from the heart by musicians who devoted their lives to being the best players they could possibly be. Wish I was born earlier.
Great Stuff ....., saw them in Dayton, Ohio They were great. Thumber Toy & Tommy & Doug's voice .....Magic Stuff AND Charlie too ......Tickets to see these guys today would be clear up in the hundreds of dollars, I'll bet,,,,,,, I would spent it , too?
I hear ya Slug. Saw them the same year at at Sunshine Jam ( a enefit concert for jimmy cotter). at the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville FL. I didn't vote for the peanut, but not only did they have the MTB and CDB, .38 Special and the Outlaws played. Skynyrd was scheduled, but Ronnies voice was shot after a tour. 9 hour long concert!!!! Charlie played w MTB on the same song. AWESOME! Oh, and the ticket was just $10, which I got for free from a guy on the USN ship I was on because he was getting out.
Wow. Thanks so much. One of my favorite jams by one of my favorite bands. It just doesn't get much better than that. God bless you Toy and Tommy. Your music will live forever.
This is one of my favorite road trip songs. The album version is 13 minutes long. Gets you down the road almost another 20 miles. Love the bass solo.
These guys were too rock n roll for country, too country for rock n roll. Didn't get that much air time. I have at least 5 of their albums. Great stuff.
and guess where ? the performing arts center in milwaukee! where i was born ! ya you right the best recorded sond ever , especially if you listen close to some guy in the audience saying f**k yea ! dam i was only 13 @ the time .
that right thumb was amazing....wow, we miss you, Toy.....as a native of Texarkana, I enjoy this song quite a bit as I've made the trip from south Texas back home many a time
I'm from Brooklyn and used to catch these guys every year from 77 to 81 at the Nassau Colliseum when I was in HS and these shows sold out fast! Good music is universal and they loved that venue probably because they were a little surprised at how much we loved them here in the NYC area. These shows were incredible.
My favorite band of all time and it's not close. Only got to see them live once, but wow. You'll never hear a bass solo like the one is this tune....it splits the Earth smooth open, even God himself just shakes his head and says "Dayummmm....".
THESE GUYS WERE GREAT. Nothing to compare to these days.(and we should not). They have a CLASS by themselves. Blues, Rock, and Country was never put together so artfully as the brothers did in the 1970's. GOD bless them. Amen.
simply put, they were the best. No one since has had that much talent at once on stage. Better for growing up with them, sadder for knowing "they" are gone forever.
Brings back memories of one of my all time favorite shows (in 1974, I think): MTB headlining and the Outlaws opening, at the Santa Monica Civic. Great crowd and great venue, 1 block from the beach. Plus, Dicky Betts joined them for several songs at the end of the set. If anybody was at that show and can remember the songs Toy and Dicky played together, let me know. I think one was "Everyday I Have The Blues," but my memory is hazy after 35 years. An underrated band. especially live.
Gotta Hand it to MTB. I mean who says we're gonna help create a whole genre of music by mixing rock/country/western/jazz and better get a flute/sax player for good measure.
Toy Caldwell was da man on that Les!! Thumbing the fire outta that thang! Tommy ain't no slouch on the bass either!
I miss the original guys too. Like Skynyrd, replacements are good, but no match for the original. Although, I would have liked to have seen Rickey and Allen together!
Saw these guys back in August '75 for the grand opening of the Superdome in New Orleans. An enormous crowd of over 100,000! Also were the Allman Brothers, Charlie Daniels, and Wet Willie!
thanks for posting man i would crank this up in mybig rig delevering fire works from springfeild mo to van buran arkansas and smoke a big fatty and just movin man hats off to mtb! very underated band they kick ass! adios mycyver over and out

Great video- saw them a few times in the 70's. Last show I sat 1st row at Nassau Coliseum. The week after Tommy had the accident. What a shame.

My cousin got me tickets for my 17th birthday summer of '76 at Casino Arena in Asbury Park NJ. The Outlaws were the opening act. Wow.

I hear ya Slug. Saw them the same year at at Sunshine Jam ( a enefit concert for jimmy cotter). at the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville FL. I didn't vote for the peanut, but not only did they have the MTB and CDB, .38 Special and the Outlaws played. Skynyrd was scheduled, but Ronnies voice was shot after a tour. 9 hour long concert!!!! Charlie played w MTB on the same song. AWESOME! Oh, and the ticket was just $10, which I got for free from a guy on the USN ship I was on because he was getting out.

This is one of my favorite road trip songs. The album version is 13 minutes long. Gets you down the road almost another 20 miles. Love the bass solo.
These guys were too rock n roll for country, too country for rock n roll. Didn't get that much air time. I have at least 5 of their albums. Great stuff.

I saw these guys with Lynyrd Skynyrd in Athens, Georgia in 1976 or 1977. Southern rock at its absolute finest. A good time was had by all.

I'm from Brooklyn and used to catch these guys every year from 77 to 81 at the Nassau Colliseum when I was in HS and these shows sold out fast! Good music is universal and they loved that venue probably because they were a little surprised at how much we loved them here in the NYC area. These shows were incredible.

THESE GUYS WERE GREAT. Nothing to compare to these days.(and we should not). They have a CLASS by themselves. Blues, Rock, and Country was never put together so artfully as the brothers did in the 1970's. GOD bless them. Amen.

simply put, they were the best. No one since has had that much talent at once on stage. Better for growing up with them, sadder for knowing "they" are gone forever.

Brings back memories of one of my all time favorite shows (in 1974, I think): MTB headlining and the Outlaws opening, at the Santa Monica Civic. Great crowd and great venue, 1 block from the beach. Plus, Dicky Betts joined them for several songs at the end of the set. If anybody was at that show and can remember the songs Toy and Dicky played together, let me know. I think one was "Everyday I Have The Blues," but my memory is hazy after 35 years. An underrated band. especially live.

Gotta Hand it to MTB. I mean who says we're gonna help create a whole genre of music by mixing rock/country/western/jazz and better get a flute/sax player for good measure.

Toy Caldwell was da man on that Les!! Thumbing the fire outta that thang! Tommy ain't no slouch on the bass either!
I miss the original guys too. Like Skynyrd, replacements are good, but no match for the original. Although, I would have liked to have seen Rickey and Allen together!
