I grew up 30 miles from these boys. Senior year was 1975 right when they were kicking ass and doing great Southern rock. To go back would be a dream come true. But at least I have thousands of memories from the 70's that nobody can take away.
My friends and I grew up as long-haired country boys. There was hardly anything we wouldn't do or try. We lived on the wind-swept Colorado plains with miles of cow pasture in every direction. Our favorite thing to do was throw the fishing poles and a cooler of beer in the back of the truck and head for the high country. This song takes me back to those days of rolling across South Park with the Continental Divide stretched across the windshield. Everything was possible. The world was new.
@thefoppa1000 .....did you attend THE ROUND UP @ JFK STADIUM next to THE VET back in "79???? awesome show with 38 special, allman brothers & rossington collins band. THOSE WERE THE F**KING DAYS
I was in a band in the early-80's that played this song. We had a steel player, fiddle player and lead guitar player, so we had this one down...complete with the harmony vocals. It was one of the best songs in our repetoire, and I miss playing it a lot.
Boaterbear, I do believe I might have been sittin in that same parking lot listenin to KSHE ... lol. Great song, great band, great music, and great times.
I was sitting in a parking lot outside a tire shop in St.Louis back in 1976. When this thunderstorm came blasting through -one of those mid summer ones that rip and roar for about ten minutes. Well I sat there waiting for this thing to blow bye. Just as the storm ended a huge rainbow formed and right at that moment this song came on the radio(KSHE 95). It was one of those AH-HA moments when you just knew that all was right with the world. True story!!!
Dickey Betts on the guitar solo! What great teenage years, Marshall Tucker, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Atlanta Rhythm Section (Alien) and the Allman Brothers Band. Camping out with girls, beer and campfires. What great more simple years!
... i wish i was a teen when this came out...the world my dad tells me about better than this day and age, everything about it, the people, the music..... *sigh* :(
Your Dad is right! I was 16 years old when this song came out. Before microwaves, VCRs, DVDs, CDs, cell phones, satellite TV, Playstation, Nintendo, X-Box, even before home computers! Life was Good!
What a terrific,underrated band from the 70's. Saw them once or twice in my youth. MTB always had a lyrical, joyful sound that was unusual for a "rock" band. With the obvious notable exception of "Can't You See", the listener usually comes away from a Marshall Tucker Band song feeling happy and uplifted. This is a particularly lovely song and brings back many fond memories. Good stuff from an apprently good bunch of guys!
@sjplwc I'm from Spartanburg and had the pleasure of growing up with these guys and they were (still are, the ones that are left) a great bunch of good old boys. Toy was a bit of a hell raiser but never the kind you wouldn't have liked to be around.
@AirTractor24 Thanks for the memory. The Dunkin' Donuts I frequent up here in NH plays a great "Classic Rock" station - and, unsurprisingly, Tucker makes an occasional appearance. "Can't You See" turned up the other day, and one of the kids who works there, who knows quite a bit about 70's music, admitted he liked the song but couldn't have told me who performed it. Made me feel a little sad. As I mentioned in my original post, "a terrific [but] underrated band".
