The Marshall Tucker Band was from Spartanburg, SC. Oddly enough there was no one in the band named Marshall Tucker. They rented a warehouse to rehearse in and the key to the warehouse had a the name Marshall Tucker on the tag. They thought the name sounded cool and decided to borrow it. Marshall Tucker, the man was a blind piano tuner from the local area. He became their biggest fan. Sadly he passed away in January 2023 at the age of 99.

I feel SO fortunate to have grown up in the '70s (graduated HS in '76). I was able to see so many great concerts: Elton in his prime (mid '70s, his Rockers, not the soft Disney Crap) CCR, Robin Trower, Heart, Kansas, Cheap Trick, Bad Company, Van Halen (when they first started out in '78!), Blue Oyster Cult (my favorite, too many times to count), Foreigner, ZZ Top, Whitesnake, Nazareth, Joan Jett, & so many more. I love to see today's young people hear and appreciate what we took for granted. I'm 66 now and STILL like it all loud. The best days are getting up to the sounds of one of these groups, getting my gear on and having a nice 75-80F sunny day to ride my Motorcycle into the twisty national forest roads, and then back home again to some more music.

My favorite part of this video is when they all step back from the mikes at the same time. It shows how tight this band is.

Try their song "Heard it in a Love Song"

She Left without even saying Goodbye, Crushed His ❤️

The boys from Sparkle City (Spartanburg, SC) right up the road a few miles from me.

I miss pickin with my boys. The nicest guys in the music business. My daughter has that tambourine given to her as a child so she could play it while we was pickin at a barn party much fun. Miss them days many many years ago. 😊❤

These guys were so wonderful when I saw them in the early '80s. What a sound!

Two of my favorites from Marshall Tucker are Fire on the Mountain and Heard It in A Love Song.

Interesting! i just noticed that in this video. Another thumb picker was Wes Montgomery - jazz guitarist. Smooth, and fast!

The song is about young GI's fighting for their lives in Vietnam Nam and getting Dear John letters from their girls back home telling them they weren't welcome home. "Can't you see, oh Can't you see what that woman's doing to me"

Yes my darling, the 70's was/is the BEST era of music----PERIOD! Bands that came from the mid 60's (R-n-B included) contributed to what became the greatest decade (and some times into the 80's) of music.

I'm glad that you enjoyed this as much as I did in the 11th grade."Can't see you" still grabs folks in the feels fifty years later. The Tucker boys are still my favorite Southern rockers although right now I'm just missing Dickey Betts and that red guitar.

Country blues rock at its finest ! The 70s had a lot of great music of this caliber. Marshall Tucker had a lot of great tunes. Thanks Britt for covering this and if you get a chance listen to some more of their tunes

Southern rock classic. Toy was incredibly talented. 70s were the best ever. Live music everywhere.

I saw them in Memphis, TN in August of 1973. They were opening for an old favorite of mine, The Mahavishnu Orchestra (A group with only one commercially successful album, "Birds of Fire"). Marshall Tucker had just hit the airwaves and were suddenly more popular than the opening band. I was absolutely delighted to see two great shows that night. Marshall Tucker was one of the very best Southern Rock bands of the 70's.

I remember seeing Marshal Tucker opened for Charlie Daniel back in the 70’s. Many southern rock bands of the time. Great memories.

When the train runs out of track, that is the “end of the line.”

Born in ‘76 and grew up listening to some of the best music ever made.

Manor Tavern in Baltimore county, heard it in 73 and been singing it ever since.

Southern Rock! Love them! I was 13 when this came out! I know every note. ❤️❤️❤️

The Marshall Tucker Band is an American rock band from Spartanburg, South Carolina. Noted for incorporating blues, country, and jazz into an eclectic sound, the Marshall Tucker Band helped establish the Southern rock genre in the early 1970s.

From my hometown. Grew up with these fellas and this is the beginning of the Southern Rock genre of music. Peace out, man. 🫶🏽

When I see Britt smile, it warms my heart!

As this song demonstrates we did nothing in half measures in the 70s we lived, partied and of course loved hard

One of the great Southern Rock bands!!

Thats not exactly true.

Toy said, "yea, he was a blind man that tunes piano's in Spartanburg and one night about a week before the Marshall Tucker band was formed, we had a gig and we didn't have a name for our band. " He went on to say that they rented a place from Marshall Tucker to practice and on the keychain was the name, "Marshall Tucker" He said, that name for the band was, "As good as any. And that was the name of the band." You can google "Toy Caldwell on the Bobby Bare Show - Part 2" on youtube if you want to hear it from Toy himself.

I was born and raised a few miles down I-26 and have and had kin living in Moore where they lived and went by there to visit all the times when they were living there. They lived in Moore, not Spartanburg. Everybody says they are Spartanburg because Spartanburg is the bigger and more well known. If people said they were from Moore, most people would wonder where the hell is that? My girlfriend is from Moore and I'm there all the time. BTW, her last name is Pearson and is kin to the late David Pearson. the second most winning NASCAR driver after Richard Petty. But we are talking about you being wrong and me being right here as the interview with Toy Caldwell by Boddy Bear proves.

Toy Caldwell, lead guitar and vocal. Served in Vietnam 66-69), returned to his unit even after being wounded in action (free trip home).

I saw them with The Elvin Bishop Band. They each did their own encore, then both bands got on stage together for another encore of about 20-30 minutes. One of the best concerts ever.

One of my all time favorite songs ever!!!

Atlanta Georgia was founded as the town at the end of rail service for the Southern Railroad. The Southern railroad ran on a scale of 4'8". They did this so northern railroads could not travel south as they ran on a scale of 5 feet. After the Civil War the Southern rails were moved 4 inches in a 24 hour period so northern trains could run on them. That was over 400 miles in 24 hours. Love Marshall Tucker they are Southern Rock. Heard it in a Love song is another great from them. kzread.info/dash/bejne/apWT1ZWEZdOYkbQ.html

Marshal Tucker Band is in the category of Southern Rock (ie Lynnard Skynard, Allman Brothers, 38 Special, Rom Pretty, Grand Funk Railroad ect.... So many groups were filling our ears with such wonderful musicianship, lyrics, and variety of instruments. I'm so fortunate to have not only grown up during this wonderful time but played the piano in "garage bands" since I was 10 yrs old... Can't tell you how many garages were taken over by kids trying to duplicate and/or become their music idols..... Last two generations are missing out on what could be the most wonderful experience of their lives by listening to the TRASH that's infests the radio airways today and not engage in the music of the years gone. This includes Big Band/Swing, The 50's/ Doo-Woop, The 60's..... Take the journey back in time and you'll grow in ways you never imagined.

Saw them in '75 or so at college. Great band, great show.

When I went to see Home Free last week, the signage advertised that Marshall Tucker is coming there this summer!! I've been listening to them since I was a teen but have never seen them live.

We loved to crank it up drink beer after school probably why my ears ring all the time

Toy Caldwell's guitar playing sounds like someone singing. Such a great talent. RIP

I got to see them when they were at their peak in the late 70s. What a show. Four encores, and they brought out the opening act to jam with them for the last two. Oh man, those were the days.

Britt it warms my heart seeing young people like yourself enjoying the music from the times I grew up in. During the troubled '60's music was sometimes the only thing we had left. The music was pure and in most cases sent a message of our collective discontent, but hope for a better tomorrow. Try a song from the Easy Rider sound track. BTW my middle daughter played the flute in the high school band.

I think this song really speaks to us guys that have been through a heartbreak. Gets me in the feels...

My favorite band, check out 24 hours at a time, this ol cowboy, take the highway or bob away my blues

The Marshall Tucker Band started Southern Rock------ this is one of the greatest songs ever made.

I was in high school, southern rock ruled the airwaves and the bands were Marshall Tucker, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Pure Prairie League, Allman Brothers, Charlie Daniel’s, Molly Hatchett and many more. What a time it was.

These guys have soooo many great songs

Can't count the number of times me and my buddies got stoned listening to the Marshall Tucker Band. It feels like a lifetime ago, but hopefully it was just half a lifetime ago.

The Grand Opera House is in downtown Macon, Georgia. In the 1960's and 1970's Macon was a hotbed for "Southern Rock" music performed by bands like Marshall Tucker. Phil Walden and his brother Alan were Macon natives stared an R&B record production company anchored by Otis Redding. After Otis died in 1967, the brothers shifted focus and started Capricorn Records which was a label that produced a number of Southern Rock artists including The Marshall Tucker Band.

Love it!! Another southern rock hit you'll love is "Keep On Smiling" by Wet Willie.

That was recorded live in 1973 right here at the Grand Opera House in Macon Georgia {home of Lil Richard, Otis Redding, Allman Brothers, Jason Aldean} where they also recorded their albums at Capricorn Studios! Women have some kind of hoodoo to make some guys crazy...been there done that ✌💖☮
