FIRST TIME HEARING - The Marshall Tucker Band Fire on The Mountain - BRITISH REACTION

[@lauripettit1879]

Hello from Spartanburg SC AKA SPARKLE CITY! I am 61 years old and grew up listening to them! I never met them but we are so proud of them!

[@dagmar.6954]

This is southern rock at it's finest. Love their music from the 70's. Some of their biggest hits were "Can't You See", "Ramblin'", "Fire On The Mountain", "Heard It In A Love Song", "24 Hours At A Time" etc.. Southern rock fiddler Charlie Daniels did quite a few collaborations with them.

[@1957Shep]

One of the few country/western songs they were known for, but it is outstanding.

[@jackr2323]

Ok, BP2, you can take a hike and leave her here for us to enjoy gazing upon. What a LOVELY lady!❤❤❤

[@sandyboudreaux-barber9586]

This group represents the very best of Southern Rock. My late husband’s band used to open for them in the early 70s.

[@chuck4tnvols681]

Great southern rock band,great song! Heard it in a love song by them also features flute,great reaction!

[@LoveTheVideo]

Loved your reaction. I love this band.

[@Shadeecarm]

Beautiful couple!!! ❤

[@stevedoumas7701]

Great reaction... As an American this song tells a vivid part of the history here in a poignant way. People lived desparately back then. Life was extremely tough in the Carolinas and most people lived in the wilderness providing for themselves. It was an extremely brutal life of living. Then came the 1848 California Gold rush where people were told that California had Gold everywhere in the creeks and soil. So the character in this song has left with his wife to go strike it rich to get them out of the poverty and tough life that you can only experience living in the rural wilderness. In the song he experiences being close to riches, fools gold, the Gold Rush towns had make shift bars and dancing girls. Where he talks about men shot down just for the sake of hearing the sound of their gun-- you can imagine a town full of nothing but thousands of rough men. And when rough men get drunk how easily the streets would be lined with blood as the song lyrics say. Also he talks about a Claim which is the right to mine a particular part of land and it gives you the only rights to that land to look for gold. If you hit a vein of gold people would kill you for your claim so they could take over the gold mining. And there were no decent records kept so if someone shot and killed you and took your Claim it was hard to dispute that they weren't the owner. The miner and husband in the story was killed in this song hence "Now my widow, she weeps by my grave Tears flow free for her man she couldn't save Shot down in cold blood by a gun that carried fame All for a useless and no good worthless claim" This song really ecapsulates the mood of that time. The hope of gold riches, the trying times, the gold mining towns that popped up, the bars and dance halls, the drinking, the killing. It is also tells a moral story of not chasing rainbows and riches.

Thank you for some great Southern Rock!

[@d2ndborn]

I saw them twice, one of my favorite bands growing up, Thanks for the memories. BP2+ is alot better on the eyes than BP1 lol

[@ATN2USN]

Thanks for doing the Marshall Tucker Band. One of the groups that widened my horizons on country and western music. I would also add the BP2 you are a very lucky man, Mrs. BP2 is beautiful.

[@randystalnaker6700]

omg...thanks so much for reacting to this...saw them live 44 years ago at the Fox Theater in Atlanta, Georgia...brought back many good memories...❤

[@JustMe-dc6ks]

Hello, Mrs. BP2. 👋 Like your matching shirts.

[@lynnsoeth5301]

Hey, Mrs. BP1 is a great addition to the visuals! Definitely an upgrade 😂

[@johne.7494]

Can't you see is my favorite from this band, many other good ones as well. Enjoy thanks guys

[@robertwatson2823]

These guys can rock as well. Check out some of their longer songs.

[@phantomrockerr]

Good stuff right there. I've seen these guys a couple times. Hi to Mrs BP2 and BP2.

[@Hawk-ODA212]

Great choice of songs. And another great reaction as usual. Nice to meet you Mrs. BP2. Hopefully, we will get to see more of you.

[@BritPopsReact]

@James Hawkins Thanks for the kind comment James and Mrs. BP2 will be back soon. All the best

[@davidgreer4615]

"heard it in a love song" is their "big hit" for me. i like all the individual styles that make up the marshall tucker band.

[@leeallen9182]

❤❤❤❤

[@bryanhickey7317]

Listen to the studio version, very haunting

[@MrRondonmon]

You "Outkicked your Coverage" with Mrs. BP2 (In American football terms that means you married up, lol) This was a great group, "Can't You See" this song and "Heard it in a Love Song" the biggest three hits. Cant You see live at the Grand le Opry (73 or 74) has the flute also.

[@firedoc5]

MTB has done one of my biographical songs, "Can't You See", also with a flute, which I highly recommend. They made flute playing cool, like Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull. Their "Heard It in a Love Song" is also outstanding. The way they got their name from an actual person is reminiscent of Lynyrd Skynryd named themselves after a school gym teacher named Leonard Skinner. Check out more Southern Rock, you will not be disappointed.

[@petermalutin7407]

Mrs. BP2 needs her own channel.

[@hardtackbeans9790]

Hi Mrs. BP2 (how do you put up with him?) LOL!! I still don't care much for the 'wailing' steel guitar. But there are some songs it seems to go with. You don't want a mob of flutists showing up in front of your house with torches & pitchforks to be sure. I can relate. One time with a mail order plastic surgeon license I got in Mexico . . . Well, you don't want to hear about that. You should do more reactions with the Mrs. Memory loss is Hell isn't it BP2? LOL!!

[@carlajimenez5483]

You should check out Heard it in a Love song by them. Great reaction.

[@firefighterchick]

Hello again Mrs. BP2! Nice to you chiming in a bit more! They are a really good band, nice choice Chewy's Momma! They have a unique blend of the genres you talked about BP2. They would also fall into Southern Rock since those genres can be part of that style of rock as well. Can't You See and Heard It In A Love Song are good songs of theirs too. BP2, were you thinking of Lynyrd Skynyrd as the other Southern Rock band you were thinking of? Hope to you again soon, Mrs. BP2!!😊

[@KarenCatMom2]

The 70s was the era for great Southern rock. At least the beginnings of it. Marshall Tucker band &Lynyrd Skynyrd are in my opinion the best of the genre. Because this was a live version I think the lyrics were a little harder to understand. So in case you didn't catch them, the song is about a man taking his family from Carolina and going out west during the California Gold Rush to try to strike it rich. As you could tell by the last verse it didn't work out well for him. I believe the lyrics captured really well what the experience must have been like for so many who followed a dream and made that journey to try to find gold in them Hills! Instead what most of them found was brutal conditions, working in a dark mind gigging with your hands most of the day, fighting for your little plot that you purchase to keep someone from stealing it, and just a crazy lawlessness of the wild West at that time.

[@roeltovar8601]

More Mrs BP2 please

[@psidvicious]

Another special guest star appearance from BP2’s ‘better half’ 🤤. 👏👏 Don’t think I ever purchased a Marshall Tucker record but I remember liking them when they came on the radio. Probably, “Heard it in a Love Song” would have been my favorite of theirs. Definitely carved out their niche in the 70’s Classic Southern rock ilk along with; Skynyrd, CDB, Oulaws, Molly Hatchet, Blackfoot, etc.. Skynyrd or maybe ZZ Top being the top of the heap of the genre. Recommendations: LS “Simple Man”; ZZ “Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers” (from the Fandango album) 👏 Congrats to the boys in blue (MC)! 3 matches left and they’ve got the title sown up already 👏

[@psidvicious]

*Tres Hombres album. Not Fandango.

[@tundiel]

'You can say as much as you want, you usually do'. 🤣🤣🤣😅 I don't have much to say, as I like to keep things positive. Sorry, Chuey's Mama & co! But Mrs BP2 is always a welcome sight! I honestly don't know what to make of the flute solo. It was probably the coolest bit for me, but at the same time, a little odd. 🤔🤔

[@BritPopsReact]

@EnderOllie 4 I thought I got away with that one! We will be back soon with more Mrs.BP2 and looking for the artists we missed. Cheers

[@tundiel]

@@BritPopsReact I miss nothing. Sorry about that 🤣

[@lancerx1759]

Mrs BP2 gets a 10 for that reaction

[@mitchellwaters0706]

You need to listen to the original version...much better..62 year old former marine from south carolina..spartanburg as a matter of fact..where these boys were from..

[@757optim]

MTB was one of the BEST Southern Rock bands of the day. A product of South Carolina, "Carolina Dreams" is a standout album. You'll hear flute, sax, piano, guitar, steel guitar, keyboards in their unique blended style of Southern Rock. MTB forever. (Note: Mrs. BP2 has better musical taste than BP1. : )

[@chueysmama2622]

I have some more for the Mrs. Dan Vasc kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmrKaqyDfKt6oq8 Slipknot kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKGkhXV4h8adhpo Miranda Lambert kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6C1Y4KXrZ1lobs Garth Brooks kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKCbkoyOn8-Sa80

[@BritPopsReact]

@Chuey's Mama Cheers to you for the recommendations. We did a recording session yesterday and picked some interesting ones. Hope you enjoy them with us.

[@chueysmama2622]

Hey Mrs. BP2. No, it wasn't Marshall Tucker your dad listened to, it was SLAYER 😂😂Ok, for real, I played flute in my younger days so I always enjoy a good solo when I hear one.🐾🐾 🐾🐾 If you liked this one, sometime try Marshall Tucker "Can't You See" kzbin.info/www/bejne/mp3GZ6t5hd1pZrc And as always...........SLAYERRRRRRRRRRR kzbin.info/www/bejne/enamoWuCgNqlgdU And to tease the Slayer video, they were actually allowed to shoot it at the pyramids at Giza. AND......Tom Araya was "kidnapped" while there! He was offered a camel ride and the dude that took him rode him out to the middle of nowhere, literally "bum fuck Egypt" and said he had to pay to be took back.

[@stormryder811]

Doug Gray’s voice is not up to snuff in this particular performance, normally better. If y’all like saxophone check out 24 Hours At A Time especially the live version at Charlie Danial’s Volunteer Jam in 76

[@bella-xp7qd]

Do the original group CAN'T You See.

[@Sage-Laura321]

They weren't near as good live but one of the best bands ever.

[@oldmanjimh3165]

Another band both of you or BP1 would like: Larkin Poe - Mad As A Hatter kzbin.info/www/bejne/mniom5WAoN15ntU

[@davidNance-e6k]

try Lynyrd skynyrd simple man, free bird
