The guitarist, Toy Caldwell sang lead on Can't You See. He was still in the band in 1981. (he left in 1983), but Doug Gray was the main lead singer, including this song. Toy's brother Tommy who played bass died in 1980. Toy died in 1993.
Toy Caldwell (the guitarist here) sang lead on "Can't You See", but Doug Gray (singing here) sang lead on most MTB songs. Toy was also the main songwriter for MTB. RIP this Veterans Day to veteran Toy Caldwell.
I was a classic rock snobbist in the late 70's until a co-worker invited me to a Marshal Tucker concert after her boyfriend dumped her (Canned Heat of Woodstock fame was the opening act). I became a MT fan from that point on. Awesome flute!! Only Jethro Tull featured the flute as a major instrument (awesome!). "Desert Skies" is my personal favorite MT songs of all times. Country western blues at its best!! You can't help but want to dance to this music.
Saw MTB in a Kansas field on a stage with Alabama headlining probably 6 years ago... Doug Grey was still kicking and sang a few songs but freely admitted "Hell no, I can't hit these high notes anymore!"
I was a freshman in college in 1973 in Texas when the Austin music scene was absolutely hummin' with all kinds of stars and bands. This was one band at Armadillo World Headquarters that was a MUST SEE!! And we did, for sure.....in 1974. I had their original album and most of my college buds were all big fans. We saw many big names grace the stage at Armadillo during the 70's.....Marshall Tucker Band was one of them. They filled the house.
The lead singer from Can't You See ("the last one") was Toy Caldwell. Doug Gray sang in this one, and I believe he is the only surviving original member. But, Toy IS in this one, he's the guitar player in the black cowboy hat, who had the little solo... still playing with only his thumb, no pick. He did die on February 25, 1993. Keep up the great reactions! 🙂
Love watching you girls. Grew up with Marshall Tucker. This song is their best in my opinion. Toy Caldwell lead singer. Vietn vet. Does way too young. How can someone that young have such a soulful heartbroken voice? I gave up a lot of stuff after my divorce. Reading. Movies tv shows. Everything reminded me of my kids (had split custody). It was too painful. Music I gave up last. And brought back first into my life as I was healing. First time out in forever. By habit went straight to the jukebox. Played this song. The whole bar (young and old) started singing along. My heart lightened and I knew everything was gonna be okay. And that I’d never quit music again. Ps. Happily remarried now for almost ten years to a great guy. Who loves Marshall Tucker too
Whenever I hear the Marshall Tucker Band I'm transported back to sunny summer days in New York's Catskill Mountains 🙂 especially true this song . I was at what I consider the last "true" Marshall Tucker Band Concert at Long Island's Nassau Coliseum in April 1980 , the last show of that tour . A few short weeks after that show , Bassist Tommy Caldwell was killed in a car accident 😞. Lead Guitarist Toy Caldwell might well have been the leader of the band , but Tommy was their soul & they were never the same after his passing .
Three tracks by Marshall Tucker Band you should definitely check out are Twentyfour hours at a time, Ramblin on my mind and Everyday I have the blues, off of the Where we all belong album,all three are great.
Just stumbled upon you gals. Enjoying it. Great concept (three generations reacting together). It is! Keep on! Constructive criticism: invest in a better microphone as soon as ya can and put up some acoustic paneling in the room as well. Those both will go a long way to making your vids sound a ton better. 🙂 (Also, speaking as a 49 year old GA boy….Mama! C’mon! You ought to have known this song inside and bein’ a Southern lady! Haha! 😁) Cheers, ladies!
Y’all should really do some Atlanta Rhythm Section if you haven’t already. Listening to this Marshall Tucker Band song takes me back to that time. “So Into You” would be a good one. 🙂
Now I realize this isn't Marshall Tucker....BUT....these guys are of the same cloth...and it has a personal meaning for me as it was one of my first concerts....so...here you go The Outlaws... live cut of Green Grass and High Tides Forever!!...enjoy... ua-cam.com/video/DGrZwU6wde0/v-deo.html
Yo da best! Here's a SURPRISE for you: this song really is AGAINST the attitude of the singer. Wow. Really? Yep: IT is a sarcastic criticism of the attitude THE SINGER (NOT the band) says he has . . . which he says he learned in a typical love song . . . Maybe his point is . . . All these things I'm espousing (keep moving on to another person) is WRONG, but is all too typically espoused in those dopey country love songs . . . which he IS NOW CRITICIZING . . . (Compare this song to Marshall Tucker's more typical love songs--which are faithful to the ONE WOMAN song: "In my own way" and “24 hours at a time”
I've seen this video, and it's just not a good rendition of the song because it's missing the gorgeous piano work thyat adds so much to the song. By the way: what is that middle picture above y'all's heads? Resolution and glare makes it look like something I can't properly describe.

My Favorite Band then and Now!! Seen a bunch and always enjoyed them.
They had a string of hits.
That's Doug Gray, he sang most of the lead.
Toy Caldwell did this one
Love Marshall Tucker

It was lonely here in Canada for a Toy superfan. No regrets.
Thank you

Yes the black and white video was in front of a live audience if you go back and look you can see some of the audience.
Y’all should really do some Atlanta Rhythm Section if you haven’t already. Listening to this Marshall Tucker Band song takes me back to that time. “So Into You” would be a good one. 🙂

This version is way faster than the original and doesn't represent the song very well, unfortunately. You lose a lot of nuances when you do that.
