Fire On The Mountain - Marshall Tucker Band | Andy & Alex FIRST TIME REACTION!

[@denizinan979]

If someone back in the 70s told me that in the year 2024 I will be watching two young guys listening to this music, one wearing a Led Zeppelin t-shirt, I would have thought they were a lunatic.

Growing up in the south during the '70s was the golden era for southern rock. So many great bands came out of Florida just for starters. If you want another side of Marshall Tucker check out how much they could kick ass when it came to those southern jams. Give "RAMBLIN' ", live from the Where We All Belong album a spin. It starts out in overdrive and never lets up and, like I've mentioned before, it's got one of the best screams of any song out there. You'll be gasping for air when it's done.

[@myownchannel247]

Amie by Pure Prairie League is another guaranteed country/ rock banger ya gotta hear 🔥

[@dariaiannitti488]

I LOVE Marshall Tucker!! My era! 🥰

Marshall Tucker Band is Southern Rock royalty. Check out Can't You See , & Take the Highway.

And Toy Caldwell is Southern Rock guitar royalty. His pedal steel work on this track is iconic. He ranks right up there with Duane and Dickey and the Skynard boys for me at least, a high school kid in Alabama picking up guitar in 1974. His soloing was fairly accessible, and such a sweet tone with his thumb and a Les Paul. A BIG influence on the way I approach guitar to this day.

[@randyhimburg7915]

Don't forget "Heard it in a love song" One of my favorites.

[@mikehawkins4752]

And "24 Hours at a Time".

[@stanleymasterson1135]

They sure are. They should also check out The Outlaws and Molly Hatchet, among many others

[@dennisdickson8058]

Southern rock with a flute..genius.

[@suziQue]

These boys grew up in my backyard. I'm from Greenville,SC , Marshall tucker Band was right up the road in Spartanburg, SC. So proud of them

[@kayteague6119]

I live in Greenville County too. I watching a Great Van Fleet song, which led me to a Marcus King Hannah Wicklund video singing a cover if Can't You See. Now I've watched about 10 Marshall Tucker videos and just remembered we still have our 50 year original Marshall Tucker album waiting to be played again.

[@charlierussell6577]

It's not every day that we hear pedal steel guitar and flute used in the same song.... yet it works !

RIP Toy & Tommy Caldwell, a couple of genuine southern boys. Salute!

Saw them at the CAP Centre 1/1/78

"Can't You See (live version)", "24 Hours At A Time", "Rambling", "Take The Highway", "This Ol Cowboy".....so many great MTB songs

[@CANDOKNOWHOW]

“This Ol’ Cowboy”.. they haven’t done that one yet.

[@garyking6519]

I learned to play "Can't You See" by watching The Marshall Tucker Band from fove feet away in a bar on Cocoa, Florida circa 1989. Nobody else in the bar but my 1st wife and I and another couple for a couple of hours. They chatted with us and were just okain pleasant people even though we were the only one s there. They played thier asses off anyway!

[@fleegerbriggs5694]

I feel so blessed to have come of age in the early '70's thru the end of the decade. Didn't really realize how lucky we were then, but stuff like this seemed to be coming out almost weekly. It was an incredible time for music.

Same.. my all-time favorite MTB tune! The playing is phenomenal, very jazzy in its progression, rambling drums and incredible soloing, not to mention the witty lyrics Andy and Alex will surely love.

[@jameswoodside5933]

They were good friends one close friend was their manager and another drove their equipment. Was a great time to be alive.

[@markobanion8652]

What I like most about your reactions is how you appreciate all the music from the 60's and 70's that I grew up on. Clearly, there was never a better time for music.

[@michaelwalker5257]

A great live version of this begins with a long flute solo. It and "heard it in a love song' are my favorites from them.

[@willfromyadkinville]

it's a yes for me dog! my southren roots will never make me dislike this song!

[@tommathews3964]

3 of the best dollars I ever spent was on my first MTB concert ticket in Pensacola FL 1973! What a band they were! That Toy Caldwell on pedal steel guitar. Lap steels just won’t “cry” like a pedal steel. Charlie Daniels on fiddle. Try “This Old Cowboy”, “Silverado”, “24 Hours at a Time”, “Ramblin’” , “Last of The Singing Cowboys”, “Blue Ridge Mountain Skies”, “Fly Like an Eagle”… so much to look forward to!!

[@thecurtain]

Always loved the lyrics to this song. Really evokes some great visuals

The arrangement of this song, is just about as good as it gets.

[@ABoyd1852]

This song tells a great story. Turns out, it sums up HBO's "Deadwood" in about 3.5 minutes. This is one of my all time top 10 fave songs.

You should put 'Take the Highway' on your Marshall Tucker list. It starts out with their familiar sound, then turns into a great guitar jam.

Can't you see was their debut single. Jessica was their follow up single. Fire On The Mountain and Heard It In A Love Song were recorded and released later. Phil Walden founded Capricorn Records. He signed some great Southern Rock bands, Marshall Tucker, Allman Bros., Elvin Bishop, Dixie Dreggs, many more.

[@MAGA-kv1nj]

Saw them at Summerfest in Milwaukee, sometime in the early 80's. Geat expeience. Great, and very under-rated band.

You’ve hit the three big ones now. “Take the Highway” “24 Hours at a Time” “Searchin for a Rainbow” “This ‘Ol Cowboy” are probably the next most popular. And then you could of course choose one of the other countless good songs they have. “In My Own Way” is one of my favorites.

"Take The Highway," particularly the live version, is fantastic with the flute playing trading off with the guitar solos! You should hit that, if you haven't heard it yet.

[@jeffreygleaves2931]

Weird thing about Marshall Tucker was they were Country & Western and pretty much exclusively played on the Roll & Roll radio. No one said a word about it. Kinda like the Eagles who played California closet country at first but always billed as Rock & Roll. Nothing to complain about because they were awesome but definitely a curiosity.

[@submandave1125]

In the early '70s there was a bit of a country/folk/Americana resurgence as a kind-of backlash to the excesses of the psychedelia of the late '60s. This kind-of started IMO with the Byrds, encompassed other progressive groups like Grateful Dead, and then took the entertainment industry on a whole. The pop culture rise of artists like Glen Campbell and Johnny Cash (both hosting highly rated TV shows) and shows like Hee Haw accompanied the countrypolitan movement of Nashville, setting the stage for groups like Marshall Tucker Band, Eagles, Pure Prairie League, Firefall, and even the CDB.

[@kaydantonio3719]

I love Marshal Tucker. I still own that album. Saw them perform at my state college in 1976.

They were such a versatile band that could jam for hours. Beyond the Southern Rock/Country sound that you've heard, they could play more jazzy styled music as well. Lesser known songs like Change is Gonna Come and I'll Be Loving You off the Together Forever album are a real departure from what you've hit so far.
