One of the great southern rock band and one of my favoites the message .....all of us stallions come to the point when you find someone who does it ,,,,it took me a long while and Lorie did this for me .....l love her soo
YeHa back when life was good,music was the real thing,that made you sing,this tune just makes one come to life,if your not tapin your foot,dancein,singin,with it,check your pulse,your dead man
I've been going through some bad personal and physical crap lately which makes me feel old but when I listen to the music from my younger days such as MTB I feel 18 again . There will never be another band like them . RIP Toy !
Just as good as it gets. Yes, brings tears to my eyes too. These guys were the shit back in the day, the perfect band. Very underrated too. Nothing better than going to one of these kinds of Southern Rock shows where the vibes were so great. It's still happening with some of the old bands. I can't compare it to anything else. All the girls in their halter tops..
Saw them yesterday in Milford Ct. They rocked the shit out of that town!!!My girl was shaking her shamrocks and they let us back stage and we took alot of pics with the band.What a bunch of nice guys!
I remember seeing the band a couple times in the 70's in CA, they all knew how to play and how to sing and how to rock the crowd. I will never get tired of listening to their music!!
Marshall Tucker Band-Outlaws Tournament of destruction Three Rivers Stadium, Pittsburgh, PA I believe it was back in the 1970's to early 1980's I will always cherish that dream concert with my brother!! Toy Caldwell you were the best behind Marshall Tucker Band!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love love love,Marshall Tucker,espescially "Can't U see"...I'm gonna find me a hole in the wall and crawl inside and die...been my motto since Highschool.Peace,out!
Wow! Thanks ,First show was Marshall tucker Charlie Daniels,pure prairie league at a fair grounds lol Always loved this album because when my bro. was jammin on all his acid rock I could at least understand these lyrics lol .still jammin after all these years. Thanks Rick
@wichitarick I thought it was earlier ,but i asked my bro. and he says in 1975 AND again in 76 because it was between albums and they played The "property line" song that my dad liked. I just lol because many of the early shows I saw were on make shift stages and fair grounds and for the last 20 yrs the bands have lost touch with the fans ,and you hear stories of only the best for the "STARS" lol WE made them stars by listening to them in Bars and the back 40 lol Thanks Rick
Wow! I heard this song on a radio station, and I usually only comment on rock songs,(more my genre) not country music. But, this song I like a whole lot; I shall certainly listen to it again and again. Thanks for posting it.
The Hall of Fame is a very politically motivated organization.It's board is made of liberal minded knuckleheads that only do what is politically correct in the music community.
@yruwatchingnow No but Wikapedia it. i don't remember any of those great bands being on their. (to much pot). AC/DC with Brain Johnson! to bad Micheal Richards will not let them release the show on DVD. Dumb ass Kramer.
The only thing I remember is The Andy Kaufman incident. He went nuts.
I loved tucker. My dad worked with em for 10 years and everytime there in town we go see em. Cant beat the tucker lead by toy and troy, but this is pretty dang close.
I saw Marshall Tucker in 1976 and 1977 and they called themselves a Rock and Roll Band. The whole Southern Rock Genre was a marketing strategy started by record promoters. I have met and worked with Kurt (the Fish) Kinzel the recording engineer for Marshall Tucker and Charlie Daniels and he said they were pure Rock and Roll. If you ever saw the original band live they rocked the House. This is some of the greatest music ever made period.
@ Bamaboompa - the great marshall tucker band can only be classified as cowboy music...it has its own classification, thats how great it is....its great stuff
@41jumps Anyone who gets a Purple Heart is good by me....Fuck the haters! USA! Respect the vets you fucking douchebags! P.O.W. M.I.A. you are not forgotten!
It's called Southern Rock...All I know this band is Frikken Gr8 Had so many hits should be in country, bluegrass & rock hall of fame. They suk anyway those ass wipes,How the fuk isn't Grand Funk in and few others..But true music lovers know good stuff when they hear it whatever U wanna call it peace ;-)
This song was played by accident the first time me and my ex Sharon made love...That was 1994 and Sharon...I did hear it in a love song...RIP baby...I miss you.
There's so many times I've wished I was born sooner than I was in 1964. Maybe the early 50's with the 60's approaching. All the great music, muscle cars, color tv and the world was so much younger with less people, clear waters and open land before the population exploded. Listening to these songs is one of the times I wish.
@icdedpepl I was born in 67 and feel that way..not so much anymore..our generation was the last real generation of real communication. How much has been gained..sure..but how much lost? Do people even really talk anymore...listen? take time? Not so much anymore. and that is a damn shame. I moved to Mexico 3 years ago and life here is still slow...and nice...
the only thing I can think of that would make this song any better is More flute. God I love it, cant get enough of that flute. GIVE ME MORE FLUTE Marshall !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This music is true to its country. Great music. Even though im into hard rock and metal . i just love all kinds of great music. Marshall Tucker is tops.
Much better than anything they call "country" today.Nashville and Hollywood wants and wishes the genuine southern man would just go away.You can tell it by what they promote and play.
This is a great song by a legendary band. I only recently discovered Marshall Tucker Band. This song came on our local classic rock station in San Diego (yes, we have one) as I was coming home from running errands one night some months ago. I sat in the car in awe as a melodic story was told to me about the ramblin' ways. Afterwards I could not get the song out of my head. Unforgettable. Thanks for posting this video.
@softshoes Back then all these bands cared about was playing as much as possible and being
as good a band as possible. That's why you see flute players and other musicians that didn't play the usual instruments. They were more concerned with how the music sounded to them and to the audience. They were not so much concerned about having to dish out more money for better musicians. You would also see better guitar players in some bands, often two lead players like the Allman Brothers.
@cooltooth112 Bands were often bigger too. I remember seeing the Doobie Brothers once and they had at least 10 musicians with 3 guitar players and 2 keyboard players and everyone of them sang. I once saw Greg Allman with a 24 piece orchestra touring with him.
Marshall Tucker Band will always be one of the best bands ever assembled. The way the singing, and harmony, and insturments blend together you just cant get any better.
@drohegda THEY WERE MY FAVORITE TOO ALONG WITH THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND. IT IS SAD THAT DOUG GREY CANNOT SING LIKE THIS ANYMORE! I'VE SEEN THEM SO MANY TIMES WHEN THEY WERE GOOD. I CANNOT GO TO SEE THEM ANYMORE...DOUG HAS GOT TO LET THE OTHER BAND MEMBERS SING THE SONGS.
It always pains me to see comments that one band or musician is better than someone else. At this level, it's all a matter of taste.
It's impossible to compare MTB & Skynerd - even depends on your mood.
In MY OPINION, MTB is overlooked because their music was not mainstream southern rock - guess we could call it 70's "fusion" - rock, country, & jazz & ?
This was the closest to playlist music which was VERY restrictive. Even "This Ol' Cowboy" - country or rock - damn sure ain't in 3/4 time.
@Bamaboompa "It's impossible to compare MTB and Skynard-even depends on your mood"-I never thought of it like this, but I haven't seen a more truer statement. You hit the nail on the head. Probably fits me to a "T". I don't compare("EVER"). Today I like MTB, tomorrow I may want to listen to Eric Clapton, then Hendrix, then The Seekers, then Al Green, then the Young Rascals, then James Taylor, then Van Morrison, then Time/Life hits from the 60's. It's nice to carry a heavy load like that.

Heard this song on XM (we have a promotional offer from them for 3 months --don't subscribe. If you try and cancel, they make you jump through hoops to do so and then they'll keep charging your credit card afterwards and make you jump through hoops to get a credit for that.) Radio. I don't think I've heard it since it came out back in the 70's. Great to find the performance here on youtube. It's this type of thing that makes youtube my favorite location on the web.
@bowie41 srry but mtb is way better than skynard and always will be this is true southern rock and were around befor skynard but that is my personal view
@darvon63 there's something so beautifully, dreadfully honest about the sentiment of the lyrics. It makes me understand how/why some men feel the need to "ramble"... and why they stay...
one of the best songs of all time, and "Can't you see"...reminds me of my younger days...

It always pains me to see comments that one band or musician is better than someone else. At this level, it's all a matter of taste.
It's impossible to compare MTB & Skynerd - even depends on your mood.
In MY OPINION, MTB is overlooked because their music was not mainstream southern rock - guess we could call it 70's "fusion" - rock, country, & jazz & ?
This was the closest to playlist music which was VERY restrictive. Even "This Ol' Cowboy" - country or rock - damn sure ain't in 3/4 time.

@Bamaboompa "It's impossible to compare MTB and Skynard-even depends on your mood"-I never thought of it like this, but I haven't seen a more truer statement. You hit the nail on the head. Probably fits me to a "T". I don't compare("EVER"). Today I like MTB, tomorrow I may want to listen to Eric Clapton, then Hendrix, then The Seekers, then Al Green, then the Young Rascals, then James Taylor, then Van Morrison, then Time/Life hits from the 60's. It's nice to carry a heavy load like that.

Heard this song on XM (we have a promotional offer from them for 3 months --don't subscribe. If you try and cancel, they make you jump through hoops to do so and then they'll keep charging your credit card afterwards and make you jump through hoops to get a credit for that.) Radio. I don't think I've heard it since it came out back in the 70's. Great to find the performance here on youtube. It's this type of thing that makes youtube my favorite location on the web.

Not true. I grew up in NY in the late 70's and early 80's and the southern rock bands were huge here. CDB, Outlaws and Skynard were the shit.

@darvon63 there's something so beautifully, dreadfully honest about the sentiment of the lyrics. It makes me understand how/why some men feel the need to "ramble"... and why they stay...

Great Tune. It cracks me up seeing these beer bellied/trucker-type guys playing this song-especially the guy on the flute.
