May be mentioned already here in comments but it's worth ensuring noting that singer, Toy Caldwell, was awarded a Purple Heart in Vietnam. May he long be remembered for what he gave us.
I am 75 years old and was the next door neighbor to Toy Caldwell (the lead singer and lead guitar player). He was drafted into the Marines and won the purple heart for being wounded in Viet Nam. After the war he and his brother and all the other guys in the band went to high school together and formed the group after they all got home from the war. Marshall Tucker was the name of an old man who let them practice in an old studio he owned. Most of them have passed since this video. RIP to all of them
Man! You never know who will be sitting here watching with us on the net and able to tell us things we would never even dream of. Thank you for that little bit of HUGELY gratifying tidbit.
That’s Toy Caldwell leading this song. US Marine wounded in Vietnam, co-founded the band a few years after getting back home to South Carolina. Great band.
I saw them on the Bicentennial, along with Jefferson Starship, at Washington Park Racetrack in Crete, IL, just South of Chicago. Great band, & Toy could sing and jam. Check out “24 Hours at a Time” on the Where We All Belong LP, where Charlie Daniels sits in on fiddle. ✌️❤️🎶
Absolutely and I really enjoy watching these young men be exposed to this stuff. I think they genuinely enjoy it. I enjoy many Genres and an thinking these fellas do now as well. Good video gentlemen. Keep em' coming
@@markgoux946 yes! They are impressive young men. They are what we need today in this tumultuous world. Clearly, they were raised right and are incredibly respectful. So pleased I happened across their channel.
Watching these fine young fellas faces reacting to the music us older folks got to grow up hearing, restores my soul and makes me smile, uncontrollably. Words cannot express. Keep it up. You're doing a good thing and we're ALL having FUN. 😊
It's such a blast watching these kids discover "our" music!! I watched a react video yesterday a guy watched Janis Joplin's Piece of my Heart!! He was BLOWN AWAY (as were we back then!!)!!
That was the immortal Toy Caldwell on lead vocals, may he rest in peace. There was a whole lot of musical talent in that group…from the writing and composition, to the instrumentals and vocals. Love this reaction! Keep on keepin’ on!
My mom passed from ALS 12 years ago but this was her song!! She would dance and i hear it now and i see her dancing, it's beautiful and the tears are happy now
These guys make this old Ragin Cajun alumni so very proud! They try all types of music and find stuff that they really appreciate and not afraid to say what they like! They have a mind of their own form their own opinions and are well read well versed and love this country! Man I would be proud to call any one of these young men my son! They love God they love this country and they appreciate the opportunities that their athleticism has given them! I say good on ya guys! Keep it up! I am a fan! And now so is Fox News! Big time now but I know you guys will keep your heads on straight!
There are some great bands out there but ARE NOT played on the radio or XM so it's not reaching the audience like it was back in the day. You have to go search them out.
I grew up the same time the 1970s and I was blessed to grow up in the South. Listening to that music. They're really touch my youth and instilled in me what real music is all about
As a woman that is old enough to be your alls mom, I commend all 5 of you on keeping an opened mind to the music that I grew up on. Oh and my husband and I like new music also. Love your reactions. Please don’t take this the wrong way but all 5 of you are very handsome young men. Good luck on your journey of life. May you all meet that one person who was meant as your soul partner. Love you guys.
ANOTHER GREAT SOUTHERN BAND, FROM SPARTANBURG, S.C., THEY WERE GREAT!!!! SOME THEIR OTHER HITS; HEARD IT IN A LOVE SONG, I SHOULD HAVE NEVER STARTED LOVIN' YOU, TAKE THE HIGHWAY, BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAIN SKY, AND MANY OTHERS....THEY ARE A PURE SOUTHERN ROCK BAND!!! ONE OF THE GREATEST!!!!
I met Toy Caldwell and his boys about 8 months before he died, .. I was a manager at a club and we hired them. He played on a road worn-out old kit but when he started to play, he raised the hair on the back of my head, I was blown away, and I am a guitarist and singer, The crowd went completely wild. His talent was incredible. God rest his soul.
@@karenscigliano9787 Yeah, good times. we were a small club but spent ridiculous money for good people. also hired Foghat, who played on my birthday. Those guys sounded like a crystal clear rocket ship went off in the place. I have great memories, All can be corroborated.
@@karenscigliano9787 People think it is impossible but in 1992 we paid musicians about a thousand dollars a piece plus expenses and added perks for an evening. They were on tour in our area so our venue for a couple hours was a bonus. those were the good old days... sweet memories...
Thank you, handsome young men, for stretching out in music. This is called “Southern Rock.” This song makes your neck & backbone slide. :). Toy Caldwell is the singer- but He was the song writer & composer of the band. He was a Purple Heart award hero as said below . Now you understand why boomers love our music from our youth so much. :)
I keep thinking about how you guys have created such an ingenious way to broaden your horizon as you receive suggestions and recommendations from all types of people and expose yourselves to so much knowledge and culture. Well Done Youngbloods!!
Welcome to the wonderous world of "Southern Rock" of which I have been a HUGE fan since I put the needle down on The Allman Bros. "Eat A Peach" album in 1977!!! I once went to a concert in Philly, where there were 5 or six Sothern Rock bands were playing. Marshall Tucker was one of them. There was also Rossington (R.I.P)/Collins (the band formed after the plane crash that took out most of Lynyrd Skynrd). Molly Hatchet, The Outlaws, and The Allman Brros. (who I saw no less than 4 times)... Go down the rabbit hole. Love you guys lots.
Saw them in '74 at the Indianapolis state fair. The Doobie Brothers and Golden Earring played as well. Am forever grateful I saw them with this lineup!
For this 62 yr. old grandma to see 5 black boy's rockin' to genuine music just puts a tear in my eye and hope in my heart. Unity boy's comes with good food, good drink and better music keep on keepin' on my bretheren!
Growing up in NC, my dad’s best friend was buddies with the lead singer. He gave me some guitar picks with the bands logo on them. Talented group of dudes for sure
I'm 70yrs. old and love to watch you guys! You give me tons of laughs, perspective and renewed hope. When my kids 16yrs and 19yrs see me watching you they get massive brain farts! Doesn't compute I guess?!
Such a great mix of genres - blues, country and rock. When I divorced and had my kids only half the week I went into a Great Depression. I gave up reading, tv and movies. Everything made me sad. Last thing I gave up was music. Months later I went out for first time with friends. Out of habit I went straight to the jukebox and played a few songs. When this song came on people all over the bar, including us starting singing along. Even young people. It’s like a cloud lifted and the sun shone through and I knew I was going to be okay. Always loved this song but now it always brings that moment back. So glad you reacted to this song. And Toy’s vocals! How can someone so young already have so much pain and soul in his voice? Just beautiful.
These guys are from my hometown. I'm so glad to see they're still getting notoriety, especially by young fellas like yourselves! I believe Darius Rucker is from Charleston, SC.
1st time hearing MTB. I've definitely heard of the band, but this is my 1st time listening to any songs by them. And i like it a lot. You gotta respect musicians back in the day for actually playing instruments and performing live without a back track or auto tune in their microphone
Back in my day(the 70s)Most Black people wouldnt listen to so called White music so its a treat to see y'all doing just that.Southern Rock is so heartfelt.
You young men are so sweet. I can’t believe the songs I grew up w are history. Thank you for your appreciation for these artists. Blessings. Ruth. California USA.
The guy with the be bold t shirt has to be a poet. He feels the lyrics in every video more than any of the others. It’s etched on his face. He is a man with great empathy.
Now that's what I'm talking about! The great Marshall Tucker band had a special sound that nobody else had and there were many a night that my friends and I saw the sun rise with the Marshall Tucker band. Another awesome song is "Heard it in a Love Song " if you liked this, you'll love this on! Thanks again guys.
Thanks for doing this, always thought this song wasn't appreciated as it should've been. Great reaction. Their playing is so tight and their voices just flow.
Marshall Tucker!! They are legends here in WNC. 1 hr 1/2 from Spartanburg here, my parents would go see them play in 80's and 90's near Asheville, NC. Growing up listening, always loved their sound! Classic
@@AlishaJH89 haha sweet! I've learned a lot on this channel too. Definitely one of my favorites! Cartier Family always makes me smile, love their openness to all kinds of music and knowledge. And they all have fun together as friends.
My favorite song. A friend sang lead in a band. He sang this song for me when I went to his shows. That was a long time ago. Thank you for the memory. Love your channel. God bless you guys.
MTB was one of my favorite bands. Toy had a unique picking style and was called "the fastest thumb in the south" and he played steel guitar. His brother Tommy played bass. George McCorkle played rhythm guitar. Gary Eubanks , sax, flute & keyboards. Doug Gray was on the far end with the tambourine and sang lead on most MTB songs. Their blend of musical styles (blues, c&w, rock, jazz) into their Southern Rock genre was special. Carolina Dreams is my favorite album. Fire On The Mountain, the title song from the album of that name, is also "fire".
I watch this performance of this song at least once a week and I was so excited to see you guys reacting to it. Pulling out the fire extinguisher made me a happy!
A Marine Vietnam Veteran…Purple Heart…my respects thank you Toy your voice, your band… music, “never coming back” so glad you did from a grateful Veteran…thank you for your service
In 1973, I went to see Mahavishnu Orchestra play in Memphis. The Marshall Tucker band opened for them, and I knew nothing about them until that night. But you can bet I knew plenty about them after that! They electrified the audience with their great southern rock sound, deeply rooted in the blues from which rock derived, as well as a touch of country elements. It was a great way to get exposed to a new band that was on their way up in the music business. So glad you heard them from the same frame.
Love your channel guys! Thanks so much for appreciating this music. This is what we were listening to when we were your age now. Enjoy gents! Keep it coming!
I have never been prouder of my brothers up there for taking in this legendary song and performance by a band, face it, most of my people couldn't have cared less about, and feeling this. The performance is different form other vids of this song. It seems to be spontaneous and close to the track. I heard this song all the time as a kid but didn't notice it much. This clip made me a fan especially of this singer, who is an American hero imo, but this particular performance rips it the fuck up. No matter what color you are, what genre of music you grew up with, there is Always more to be appreciated and learned. Thank you Cartiers. and thank you MTB
If you're interested in the flute from that era of music, Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson incorporated flute into almost all of their songs. Locomotive Breath has a decent flute solo in it, and one my personal favorites, Bungle in the Jungle, also features a good bit of flute.
@@ratzass2 Can't believe I forgot about Thick as a Brick - that's another of my favorites. Jethro Tull has so many great songs. In my defense, I am 53 - I forget a lot these days lol
🎸💯 That Southern Rock is STILL 🔥‼ I saw them at the Roanoke-Salem Civic Center in '74! Steve Miller Band opened for them. It was a helluva show! You guys should give Marshall Tucker's "Heard It In a Love Song" a listen & reaction, too! ☮ ❤ 🎶
You guys need to check out how great Marshall Tucker was! Toy, Tommy and Tim served in Vietnam and were injured and recieved the Purple Heart for being injured ! God bless them who served, and it wasn’t Doug Gray, who had a great voice, but it was the Caldwell brothers!! RIP brothers!! T
Doug Gray (the guy with the tambourine) was their regular lead singer, but this is one of the few songs that Toy sang lead on. In addition to lead guitarist, Toy was the founder of the band (with is brother Tommy, on bass) and he wrote most of the songs for the group. These guys all grew up together, playing high school football and baseball together in addition to playing music together.
I LOVE this song, so many memories from my youth, and they grew up near me in SC. I remember seeing them live before they became famous...Loved your reactions
I love that y’all were feeling this song! It’s a classic soul wrenched. A lot of guys (even long hairs) served back then because of the draft. They weren’t necessarily gung ho but they did their duty (unlike Ted Nugent). Take a listen to Fortunate Son by Creedance Clearwater Revival. John Fogherty served in Vietnam, as well.
May be mentioned already here in comments but it's worth ensuring noting that singer, Toy Caldwell, was awarded a Purple Heart in Vietnam. May he long be remembered for what he gave us.
❤️
He was a war criminal that invaded an innocent nation to kill their people for wanting freedom, hardly a hero or an act to celebrate.
Thanks for that information! God bless our Vietnam Vets!
RIP Toy... and a posthumous Welcome Home, Brother.
Oh, WOW! I didn't know that. Much Respect to this American Hero.🙏🏼🇱🇷
I am 75 years old and was the next door neighbor to Toy Caldwell (the lead singer and lead guitar player). He was drafted into the Marines and won the purple heart for being wounded in Viet Nam.

Thanks for that, that's beautiful
Man! You never know who will be sitting here watching with us on the net and able to tell us things we would never even dream of. Thank you for that little bit of HUGELY gratifying tidbit.
Damn that’s awesome piece of history thanks for sharing
I live in Woodruff, Spartanburg County. I worked with his ex wife. All but him was killed in a plane crash, right?
That’s Toy Caldwell leading this song. US Marine wounded in Vietnam, co-founded the band a few years after getting back home to South Carolina. Great band.

He just passed away as well....legend
These guys don’t care. They just care about being UA-cam famous.
@@TLAS how do you know that? Please elaborate
Southern Rock is where rock meets blues and these beautiful sounds are born, it speaks to your soul.
Everything from the south has soul in it.
Absolutely and I really enjoy watching these young men be exposed to this stuff. I think they genuinely enjoy it. I enjoy many Genres and an thinking these fellas do now as well. Good video gentlemen. Keep em' coming
Exactly
Nothing better than seeing these young men appreciating and enjoying this good ole classic rock and blues ♥️♥️♥️
These guys are awesome and all are going places. They are open- minded on so many things where others are not.
@@markgoux946 yes! They are impressive young men. They are what we need today in this tumultuous world. Clearly, they were raised right and are incredibly respectful. So pleased I happened across their channel.

@@brentrichards5657 perfectly stated. I do enjoy these young men appreciating “my music”. It is certainly uplifting! 🙌♥♥♥
Better known as Southern Rock, a pŕrfect blend of classic rock and Delta blues.
Creeping up on 70yrs old I have to say we grew up with the Best music 🎶!💖 Still know all the words.
Damn right we did
The best music , coolest clothes & the baddest cars
It's such a blast watching these kids discover "our" music!! I watched a react video yesterday a guy watched Janis Joplin's Piece of my Heart!!
He was BLOWN AWAY (as were we back then!!)!!
I hear you Julia.
AMEN TO THAT>>>WE SURE DID !!!!!
That was the immortal Toy Caldwell on lead vocals, may he rest in peace. There was a whole lot of musical talent in that group…from the writing and composition, to the instrumentals and vocals. Love this reaction! Keep on keepin’ on!
Toy was also a Viet Nam vet...
Isnt this the only song toy was lead vocals on?
“The immortal toy caldwell, may he rest in peace”…. Man was a legend but immortal is one thing he wasnt
Another group....Amazing Rhythm Aces!!!! Past their one hit wonder!!!!!
@@richardeberhart451he sang on a few others, but the other songs are sung by a different guy
My mom passed from ALS 12 years ago but this was her song!! She would dance and i hear it now and i see her dancing, it's beautiful and the tears are happy now
🙏🏻💕
Amen
RIP
These five young American men should be the future of our country. God bless you guys !🙏
Love these guys!

This 74 yo white veteran (combat medic) really enjoys these videos thanks so much!
Thank you for your service.
Thank you for your bravery and service. God bless you and yours
Thank you for your service!
Makes my soul happy seeing today’s youth bringing back such great music! You won’t hear this today 🥰🎶
There are some great bands out there but ARE NOT played on the radio or XM so it's not reaching the audience like it was back in the day. You have to go search them out.
You gotta listen to the right stations
Bare,y heard it today with all the distractions.😂😊
Ain't that the truth!
How wonderful! These cute little boys broadening their horizons! Sure sign of intelligence, grace, and beauty
I've never been so thankful to grow up in the 70's with the best music ever. Love you guys.
Amen!!
I grew up the same time the 1970s and I was blessed to grow up in the South. Listening to that music. They're really touch my youth and instilled in me what real music is all about
@@melvin768 I'm a southern girl too!! 🍑
Absolutely it was the Best of Times 70s
The 60’s was the best decade to be a teenager. Best music, best cars and best clothes.
As a woman that is old enough to be your alls mom, I commend all 5 of you on keeping an opened mind to the music that I grew up on. Oh and my husband and I like new music also. Love your reactions. Please don’t take this the wrong way but all 5 of you are very handsome young men. Good luck on your journey of life. May you all meet that one person who was meant as your soul partner.

I've loved this song for 50 years. Very nice to see it appreciated across generations.
Take the highway was my favorite song by them. Excellent band!
So thankful that i grew up in the 70,80's. No better time for many things. Especially music.
Yes ! I'm the youngest of 6 , they all played the best music. Mom loved Janis Joplin, Rodger Miller , Burl Ives and many more . Rock on
Me too!
Thank you LORD.
BEST TIME OF MY LIFE!
Amen best music
graduated 1971 on a military base... outside San Fransisco....best music and crazy times
ANOTHER GREAT SOUTHERN BAND, FROM SPARTANBURG, S.C., THEY WERE GREAT!!!! SOME THEIR OTHER HITS; HEARD IT IN A LOVE SONG, I SHOULD HAVE NEVER STARTED LOVIN' YOU, TAKE THE HIGHWAY, BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAIN SKY, AND MANY OTHERS....THEY ARE A PURE SOUTHERN ROCK BAND!!! ONE OF THE GREATEST!!!!
Don’t forget “Desert Skies”. 👍
Yep! I grew up a few hours away. I used to date a girl from Pacolet right outside of Spartanburg.
You left out 2 of their greatest hits FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN and HEARD IT IN A LOVE SONG.
You missed This Old Cowboy.
While not original members, I was privileged to see them in concert!!!
-20, 30 years after our heyday, but what a great ticket!
I met Toy Caldwell and his boys about 8 months before he died, .. I was a manager at a club and we hired them. He played on a road worn-out old kit but when he started to play, he raised the hair on the back of my head, I was blown away, and I am a guitarist and singer, The crowd went completely wild.

Wow.
@@karenscigliano9787 Yeah, good times. we were a small club but spent ridiculous money for good people. also hired Foghat, who played on my birthday. Those guys sounded like a crystal clear rocket ship went off in the place. I have great memories, All can be corroborated.
@@karenscigliano9787 People think it is impossible but in 1992 we paid musicians about a thousand dollars a piece plus expenses and added perks for an evening. They were on tour in our area so our venue for a couple hours was a bonus. those were the good old days... sweet memories...
❤❤😂
My dad listened to this so it’s special to me. So glad you guys liked it.
Son, I'm glad you listened to this real music. Now go back in the basement, me an momma gotta do work!
The greatest compliment made was their silence and keeping the beat. Bravo.
A Thousand updates for your comment. 🇺🇸
That’s exactly what I thought. They do have a tendency to chatter through stuff sometimes. But they all were really listening to it.
Thank you, handsome young men, for stretching out in music. This is called “Southern Rock.” This song makes your neck & backbone slide. :). Toy Caldwell is the singer- but He was the song writer & composer of the band. He was a Purple Heart award hero as said below . Now you understand why boomers love our music from our youth so much. :)
Jethro Tull. Coolest flute player who ever lived. Saw him in Houston in the late '70s. Amazing show. Amazing musician.
Ian Anderson. That’s the name of the front man/flute player of Jethro Tull.
Best concert I ever saw.
Terry crews is the coolest flute player.
@@wadeintonature2975 Skin flute?
No autotune, all talent. A better time.
I keep thinking about how you guys have created such an ingenious way to broaden your horizon as you receive suggestions and recommendations from all types of people and expose yourselves to so much knowledge and culture. Well Done Youngbloods!!
Cheers, brothers and sisters!
It showed on all you faces, you felt it just how it was meant to be felt. I appreciate you guys taking a listen to such an iconic band.👍✌
Its great to see the Youngsters enjoy the greatest generation of music, nothing like the 70's
Welcome to the wonderous world of "Southern Rock" of which I have been a HUGE fan since I put the needle down on The Allman Bros. "Eat A Peach" album in 1977!!!

You need to play Leon Russell. He's a fellow okie and Elton John's hero. "Singing this song for you" is legend.
This genuinely warmed my heart just now. I grew up with this gem, it was beautiful to see it immediately hit like this for you five young men.
Totally agree. Watching you guys react is like discovering it all over again.
Saw them in '74 at the Indianapolis state fair. The Doobie Brothers and Golden Earring played as well. Am forever grateful I saw them with this lineup!
Love you guys… Doing a great job… intelligent, respectful, informing… Thank you! ✌️💜PNW (Seattle area) 🇺🇸
We need more young men like this…getting together and talking. That’s it, talking. Expose yourself to things not previously known. Keep it up fellas
Marshall Tucker Band was very lyrical. Rock always a message.
These guys play real cowboy music. Not country but southern rock with twang. In my top five bands for sure.
Glad y’all found this live version…these dudes gave us all an amazing track for the ages.
For this 62 yr. old grandma to see 5 black boy's rockin' to genuine music just puts a tear in my eye and hope in my heart. Unity boy's comes with good food, good drink and better music keep on keepin' on my bretheren!
You guys should do some Lynyrd Skynyrd in memory of Gary Rosington.
100%
T For Texas (Winterland 1976)
I second that! Maybe some Curtis Lowe
Simple Man is a great song.
Do "Free Bird" in memory of Gary Rossington . He was the last original member . They are all flying now
You guys ROCKED it with this song!!!!!👍! Great reaction!!!!!
Growing up in NC, my dad’s best friend was buddies with the lead singer. He gave me some guitar picks with the bands logo on them. Talented group of dudes for sure
I'm 70yrs. old and love to watch you guys! You give me tons of laughs, perspective and renewed hope. When my kids 16yrs and 19yrs see me watching you they get massive brain farts! Doesn't compute I guess?!
I am 68 and this was one of the great bands of our era. Enjoying watching these young brothers jamming to what I did in the 70’s. Just killer!
Toy Caldwell played the guitar with his thumb...no pick. So soulful
That’s the way I play. No pick. When ever I use a pick it ends up inside my guitar lol
No pick is best, and I could do a little, but I usually had to use a pick.
Along with the likes of Jeff Beck and Mark Knopfler...good company 🎶🎵
Robby Krieger too, probably the greatest of the players from that era that finger picked on electric
He and Tommy were called the Thundering Thumbs from Spartenburg.
Such a great mix of genres - blues, country and rock. When I divorced and had my kids only half the week I went into a Great Depression. I gave up reading, tv and movies. Everything made me sad. Last thing I gave up was music. Months later I went out for first time with friends. Out of habit I went straight to the jukebox and played a few songs.

Just beautiful.
I was blessed to have grown in during the 70's when music was amazing from bands like this! I still listen to it because it will never be replaced!❤
Watching a band like this live on a warm summer night - it really doesn’t get any better.
These guys are from my hometown. I'm so glad to see they're still getting notoriety, especially by young fellas like yourselves!
I believe Darius Rucker is from Charleston, SC.

Such a heartfelt song, just beautiful. Really enjoyed your reaction! So glad y'all enjoyed it 🤗
God bless Southern Rockers...so much blues and soul!
Hi I'm a 60 year old Mex born in Texas makes me American. This is my favorite video . I love the classic
No I like all you all video
Back in my day(the 70s)Most Black people wouldnt listen to so called White music so its a treat to see y'all doing just that.Southern Rock is so heartfelt.
My favorite country rock band back in the day❤ so sad this genre is no more 😢
def a banger! Beautiful reaction, glad you all enjoyed it!
I wish Chris Stapleton would play around with this genre more
There are a number of country bands and especially Red Dirt/Texas Country bands that would have been classified as Southern Rock 40 years ago.
You young men are so sweet. I can’t believe the songs I grew up w are history. Thank you for your appreciation for these artists. Blessings. Ruth. California USA.
music from the heart
bless y'all for giving this song back to me
i had forgotten it.
The guy with the be bold t shirt has to be a poet. He feels the lyrics in every video more than any of the others. It’s etched on his face. He is a man with great empathy.
Totally agree and easy on the eyes if I may say so😊
Maybe he’s an empath
That's a great observation. I wonder if you're right

I had the honor of being backstage security for them when I was in uni. Talented band and the nicest peeps.
Thanks for doing this, always thought this song wasn't appreciated as it should've been. Great reaction.
Their playing is so tight and their voices just flow.
Marshall Tucker!! They are legends here in WNC. 1 hr 1/2 from Spartanburg here, my parents would go see them play in 80's and 90's near Asheville, NC. Growing up listening, always loved their sound! Classic
WNC, gorgeous area! I used to visit Brevard a couple of times a year, every year, with my family. That was for around 15 years.
That’s wild lol this channel taught me something. I grew up in brevard nc and now live in Asheville. Never knew that this band was from close by!
@@lewstone5430 It really is beautiful! So happy living here👍🏼Brevard is pretty, real close too, the Blue Ridge Mtns are God's country, gorgeous.

Their blend of musical styles (blues, c&w, rock, jazz) into their Southern Rock genre was special. Carolina Dreams is my favorite album. Fire On The Mountain, the title song from the album of that name, is also "fire".
I absolutely love when you guys get in the groove of some damn fine music!
Those southern blues..ain’t a sound like it in the world. Great reaction guys!
You guys crack me up. Love watching you and your reactions. Im 70 and your playing my music. Blessings to you all! 👍🏼
I watch this performance of this song at least once a week and I was so excited to see you guys reacting to it. Pulling out the fire extinguisher made me a happy!
Known this band my whole life.. . forgot how good they were util seeing them from the eyes of those who see it for the first time
Toy Caldwell wrote, sang and played guitar on this classic hit. I believe it was the only song he ever sang lead vocal on
A Marine Vietnam Veteran…Purple Heart…my respects thank you Toy your voice, your band… music, “never coming back” so glad you did from a grateful Veteran…thank you for your service
They are from Spartanburg South Carolina where I live right now. I enjoy and love every minute of them.
I’m glad y’all can see greatness. Appreciate y’all’s respect. You got mine. Peace from Spartanburg South Carolina bro.
In 1973, I went to see Mahavishnu Orchestra play in Memphis. The Marshall Tucker band opened for them, and I knew nothing about them until that night. But you can bet I knew plenty about them after that! They electrified the audience with their great southern rock sound, deeply rooted in the blues from which rock derived, as well as a touch of country elements. It was a great way to get exposed to a new band that was on their way up in the music business. So glad you heard them from the same frame.
How was Mahavishnu?
You are ready for the Allman Brothers doing Whipping Post live at the Fillmore East!!
One of my favorites!!
Hell yeah. Just finished suggesting it.
I love these brothers reaction to Marshall Tucker Band Can't You See, great song
I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed this video. So good to see
He got a Purple Heart from his tour in Vietnam as a Marine, but somehow she hurts him much worse.
❤
This is the most underrated comment on the internet.
@@missmandy2049 it is so spot on
Love your channel guys! Thanks so much for appreciating this music. This is what we were listening to when we were your age now. Enjoy gents! Keep it coming!
I love watching y'all! The best part of your shows is no filth! Your parents did a fantastic job. God bless you young men.
I have never been prouder of my brothers up there for taking in this legendary song and performance by a band, face it, most of my people couldn't have cared less about, and feeling this. The performance is different form other vids of this song. It seems to be spontaneous and close to the track. I heard this song all the time as a kid but didn't notice it much. This clip made me a fan especially of this singer, who is an American hero imo, but this particular performance rips it the fuck up. No matter what color you are, what genre of music you grew up with, there is Always more to be appreciated and learned. Thank you Cartiers. and thank you MTB
You guys just made my night with your reaction. I love this song and I loved that you all seemed to enjoy it too. 🙂
All the different music y'all appreciate warms my heart..God bless all of you!
This is one of the greatest live performances ever!
💯 💯 💯
I throughly enjoyed watching y’all’s reaction to this timeless classic! Music connects all generations. It’s the soundtrack of our lives 🎼 🎸
Love the Tucker boys seen them so many times live.
If you're interested in the flute from that era of music, Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson incorporated flute into almost all of their songs. Locomotive Breath has a decent flute solo in it, and one my personal favorites, Bungle in the Jungle, also features a good bit of flute.
Locomotive Breath is a fantastic song!
Thick as a brick has awesome flute work in it as well.
@@ratzass2 Can't believe I forgot about Thick as a Brick - that's another of my favorites. Jethro Tull has so many great songs. In my defense, I am 53 - I forget a lot these days lol
Living In The Past has a lot of flute and it’s one of his better songs.
This song gives me goosebumps every time I hear it!
Some of the greatest music ever produced! I wish this kind of originality would make a comeback...
I once heard music isnt something you hear... its something you feel!!!! Clearly you felt that song!!! Bless you young men!!!!❤
As an old dude. I appreciate watching young folks giving recognition. Music Food and ...always brings folks together. One Love
Southern Rock at its best. We were jammin this in high school in the 70s. Great music, great times, great memories. 👊🏼🤟🏼🤠🇺🇸
Real musicians, real singer and straight up talent.
I’m loving how many of you are singing the chorus along with him at this point
LOL. Love this song and your reactions! Awesome songs came out of the 60’s and 70’s. Keep us laughing out here! 😃
Marshall Tucker Band was one of my all-time favorites from the 70-80s. I love the Marshall Tucker Band.
🎸💯 That Southern Rock is STILL 🔥‼
I saw them at the Roanoke-Salem Civic Center in '74! Steve Miller Band opened for them. It was a helluva show! You guys should give Marshall Tucker's "Heard It In a Love Song" a listen & reaction, too! ☮ ❤ 🎶
You guys need to check out how great Marshall Tucker was! Toy, Tommy and Tim served in Vietnam and were injured and recieved the Purple Heart for being injured ! God bless them who served, and it wasn’t Doug Gray, who had a great voice, but it was the Caldwell brothers!! RIP brothers!!

Doug Gray (the guy with the tambourine) was their regular lead singer, but this is one of the few songs that Toy sang lead on. In addition to lead guitarist, Toy was the founder of the band (with is brother Tommy, on bass) and he wrote most of the songs for the group. These guys all grew up together, playing high school football and baseball together in addition to playing music together.
This is one of my most favorite reactions I've seen you guys do.
I LOVE this song, so many memories from my youth, and they grew up near me in SC. I remember seeing them live before they became famous...Loved your reactions
I love that y’all were feeling this song! It’s a classic soul wrenched. A lot of guys (even long hairs) served back then because of the draft. They weren’t necessarily gung ho but they did their duty (unlike Ted Nugent). Take a listen to Fortunate Son by Creedance Clearwater Revival. John Fogherty served in Vietnam, as well.
Amen to that ! ❤
ted nugent is a coward, he has a loud mouth but can't back it up.
I haven't heard this song since I was little. He definitely has an amazing and unforgettable voice.
