That was the Taste of Syracuse! i was totally there and i remember that bald guy standing there! it was my first time to the Taste of Syracuse and they had alot of good music... im also a Chris Lizzi fan!
Just saw them in North Carolina and although time has taken its toll the show was great and I'm glad I got to see them. I only hope I have half the energy and ability in a few years
I saw MTB last night in Rockwall, TX and now I feel the same way as Megs, below. I have been a loyal fan since the mid-70's but I was disappointed and a little embarrassed by their performance last night. Doug has done so much good for this group but it's time to say, "thank you for the years" and retire. I don't think any MTB fan would blame him or hold it against him. They we're phenomenal for so many years but us fans with the memories of those years and don't tarnish it.
Despite the fact that the band has changed over the course of the last 30+ years that I've been following them, Doug and the boys still bring a happy tear to the eyes of this ol' gal ~~ and his surgery may have taken its toll, but no one puts more heart into it than Doug.
Doug Gray is a founding member of MTB. Trust me, they sound great live. I saw them on the Simple Man Cruise 2008 and they rocked!! Also, Doug is a kind and very friendly man. He would stop and talk to you if you just asked or even take a pic with you. MTB is a class act and Doug Gray is still leading the pack!!
its not about how good compared to years ago, its about respect and enjoying seeing a part of american music history, ali cant fight like he used to, but hes still the one and only so lighten up you hypocritical critics
I didn't think I would EVER, EVER say this about Doug Gray - we've seen and enjoyed him and MTB live several times over the years and they were always WONDERFUL. But the performance shown here broke my heart. Time to retire Doug...leave us with lovely memories and go rest and relax as you well deserve.
Only footage you need to see to understand why "Doug Gray and His MTB cover Band" is a complete disgrace to the ORIGINAL, and ONLY Marshall Tucker Band. How pitiful...
My uncle is the current drummer for MTB, and Doug Gray surely doesnt have a voice like he used to. But of course im sure not many people know that he had to have vocal chord surgery and he shouldnt even being singing at this point.
SO the fact that he is even singing is an amazing thing. I've seen em live a million times and i still love em. All the band members are great. And his nephew is Clay Cook, who co-wrote most of John Mayer's first album.
oH come on, how old are all of you? The original band is dead, go on the marshall tucker band website. These aren't the founding members, no even sure who the heck they are. Thats why they sound so bad.
Yes officer, I`ve ben drinking, but my ffriend, you know.. the flute guy, yeah.., he is the driver.... what me on the driver side ????? well you see, I.... he was a little sleepy ad I feel good you see....... so he drove me, ... no I drove him and yeah, ... im drunk.
Doug Gray's voice is pretty much shot. But now, they are much better compared to 2006. He does vocals on a couple of songs, but other members alternate lead vocals now. One is guitarist Chris Hicks, and the other is Doug's nephew, whose name I cant remember. His nephew sounds really good! Although it isn't the same as 30 years ago (which I wasn't around at that time), they still put on a good show, and I had a great time at their concert at the Taste of Minnesota.
Thanks for your comment! Even though it's not the same as 30 years ago (which I'm glad someone else realizes that) it was still a great show and the band members were really friendly. We were able to get autographs and pics with the band members afterwards.
Well you missed certainly missed a great show. The original recording was done in a studio and that was 30 years ago! After 30 years, I'm glad they're still around and that I got to see them.
i agree man. i saw them twice since 03. they are great, and love it that gray is still alive and with them. its a shame his voice aint as great. but im STILL a huge fan!
whatis going on with this song. They have changed, slowed, and butchered it. Sounds like a comedy spoof!
