Can't You See (Live) - The Marshall Tucker Band (Reaction)

[@eriktracy8578]

Live, no dubs, no auto-tune, just a band playing together in the moment - real musicians. 👍

[@alva1370]

Marshall Tucker, Fire on the Mountain

[@singluna888]

I'd forgotten how much we loved them back in my much younger days.

[@melissatuel862]

The lead singer/guitarist was a Vietnam vet who was given The Purple Heart for being wounded in combat. I believe he was in the Marines. I also heard that several or all of the other band members were Vietnam vets.

[@troybullard9631]

Yes, lead singer/guitarist Toy Caldwell enlisted in the USMC in 1966 and served in Vietnam until he wounded in action in 1968. He was had attained the rank of Sergeant and was discharged in 1969.

@@troybullard9631 After he had healed enough, he went back to his unit to serve out his tour - he returned to the US in 1969.

[@karenmikalofsky5287]

We are so lucky to have this wonderful footage of this raw and perfect performance. Wow!

[@suzylund7859]

Just caught your reaction. Loved this song!! Lead singer had a powerful unique voice. Great sound, thanks for your reaction.

[@mvhoyt61able]

One of my favorite performances of all time. The legendary Toy Caldwell.

[@JefferySwan-sg2wv]

Everyone on the planet should listen to this song at least once in their life

[@frekitheravenous516]

Ain't a Man alive over the age of 35, black, white or otherwise, that can't understand the feel of this tune.

[@coinneachmaclellan3121]

Such a great example of Southern Rock...love the vocals especially the harmonies...

[@timbukh3]

Excellent reaction to a good song. You cannot fake the level of appreciation and enjoyment you showed for this song and many others. The best reactions on YT are found right here. Thumbs up.

[@dabassmann]

Southern Rock is a genre all of it's own. Besides Marshall Tucker, there's Allman Bro's, Little Feat, Gov't Mule, Derek Trucks, The Outlaws, Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top, Doobie Bro's, Poco, Molly Hatchet, Charlie Daniels Band, Grateful Dead, Amboy Dukes, Black Crowes, Dixie Dregs, Ozark Mountain Daredevils, North Mississippi Allstars, Alabama..... and a whole bunch more!!!!! I saw Marshall Tucker twice, once in Dallas and once in St. Louis. High energy and loads of fun!!!

[@estacadarocks3446]

🤘 thumbs up for mentioning " Ozark Mtn Daredevils ".

[@renee8437]

Didn't see 38 Special. One of my faves of all time!

[@Tbirdhaynes]

I was very curious if you included The Black Crowes and you sure as hell did! MOST EXCELLENT!

[@barbarafrazier3242]

Lol…. I just made almost the same comment to another reactor about Southern Rock! I agree it’s almost it’s own thing. Is it Rock or Blues or sometimes sounds a little Country with blue grass elements…. Idk maybe it’s all of those! But it’s GREAT either way!!

[@Joe-d3t1t]

Dixie Chicken. Almost an awakening song. So good, so original. Not repeatable. Southern

[@laurarominger2073]

Rock, soul, blues. And the universal sound of heartbreak. Doesn’t get better than this.

[@davidmoss2548]

I wish that everyone alive had met Toy Caldwell. Nicest, most decent person that walked the planet.

[@richardcranium5048]

Toy Caldwell one of the greatest to ever take a stage an absolutely phenomenal guitar player

[@Cashcrop54]

Watching this video takes me to those times and anybody who came by my house heard MTB blasting nearly every day. Great sound all around and great guitar. And, awesome harmonies!! Great watching with you JMBOY. As usual.

[@donnalehman6805]

Wow. That voice coming out of that sweet baby face.

[@AliasMark69]

I saw The Marshall Tucker Band, The Outlaws, 38 Special, ZZ Top in the same show/week in the 70's. Those were the best of times.

[@normacraig7894]

So glad I grew up listening to Marshall Tucker and I got to see them!👏👏👏

[@mx5219]

tell you what i loved about this video, it's how you DID NOT keep cutting in with comments through the whole vid like 99.9% of the others do.....refreshing...thanks..

[@AuthorLaurieAnnSmith]

Thanks for the great reaction video! I grew up listening to this music in the 70's and I still love it :)

[@dizastro5437]

This recording is absolute gold. That makes front row tickets at the show diamonds.

[@clifton8929]

The Marshall Tucker Band, The Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and ZZ Top were considered the top of the Southern Rock Sound. Marshall Tucker's songs like Searchin’ for a Rainbow’, 'Heard In A Love Song', 'Take The Highway, and ‘Fire on the Mountain,’ are all great songs by the band. The Southern Rock sound has so many bands to choose from, mostly all amazing.

[@johnwilliams8855]

Makes this old southern Mississippi stupjumper happy to see black folks discovering good music. Just like all my family loved BB,Ross,Green,Barry ect from 60s to this day. Thanks

[@12floz67]

Glad you reacted to this song, great tune!🍻

[@renee8437]

I saw Marshall Tucker and The Outlaws in 1984 at 3 Rivers Stadium in Pitts. Absolutely one of best Southern Rick bands ever. Oh to go back!

[@tekay44]

This Old Cowboy for the win. give it a listen. MT were a great band.

[@sabredesatanas518]

Saw them in concert many times, and enjoyed it every time!

[@89801wink]

Did you notice that Toy Caldwell (r.i.p.) singer/guitarist didn't use a pick or his fingers? Only used his thumb.

[@macksrbest1884]

You are the best song critic no small talk no bullshit interrupting through the song thank you

[@randalljohnson5539]

To put this song in perspective of the time. 18th birthday drafted. Senior trip to Vietnam. Small town or rural boy with 1 love gets sent. Returns to hippie movement and lost girl to the times.

[@AliasMark69]

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. The original line-up of the Marshall Tucker Band, formed in 1972, included lead guitarist, vocalist, and primary songwriter Toy Caldwell (1947-1993), lead vocalist Doug Gray (born 1948), keyboard player, saxophone player, and flautist Jerry Eubanks (born 1950), rhythm guitarist George McCorkle (1946-2007), drummer Paul Riddle (born 1953), and bassist Tommy Caldwell (1949-1980). They signed with Capricorn Records and released their first album in 1973, The Marshall Tucker Band.

[@dabassmann]

@AliasMark69, I saw Marshall Tucker twice, once in Dallas and once in St. Louis. High energy and loads of fun!!! As you said, Southern Rock is a genre all of it's own.

I just smile knowing all those bands are damn good. Enjoy our friends experience learning the who's who of R&R@@dabassmann

[@dabassmann]

@@AliasMark69 after the music room tour video, it's amazing how closely you resemble my cousin in Colorado. He is also 4 years older than I am, and you almost look like and sound like him, although you are WAY more musically talented than either of us. We are still really close even to this day! And yes, it's fun rehashing all these concerts we went to...never thinking a thing about 'em, it was just what we did. Plus they were only $5 or $10 bucks for tickets.

[@AliasMark69]

I'm making a Wizard Video soon so I must look the part. After I will shave back to clean. @@dabassmann

[@EJSmith-dk3yg]

I love your reaction, all in the face, you don't talk over the music ... nice job !

[@bella-xp7qd]

Toy Caldwell was a veteran who received a purple heart for injury in Vietnam. His brother was in the band too. Do you mean??????? The Grand Ole Opry is an American weekly live country music radio broadcast from - and a several nights per week performance held at - the Opry House in Nashville, Tennessee. It was founded on November 28, 1925, by George D. Hay it's oprey not opera

[@AliasMark69]

Toy never used a Pick. He used his thumb for all his string picking. Unusual and cool.

[@coinneachmaclellan3121]

The great Jeff Beck used a similar technique often in conjunction with the whammy bar...

[@AliasMark69]

Yes, I saw Beck with Santana at SPAC NY.... Awesome show.@@coinneachmaclellan3121

[@lindakoschwitz7098]

Hello my favorite Reactioner. I love that you react by your expressions and don't keep stopping the music. You take it all in then give your verbal reactions when it's over. You also let the music play itself all the way to the end.

[@kelvinmathews7198]

Kudos for not interrupting every 5 measures!

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

Good ol’ Toy Caldwell. Love these guys.

[@patches6309]

This classic is an automatic PLAYLIST track on anyones music collection.

[@anjheidebrink]

This song will be playing at my funeral 💥💥💥💥💥

[@alanmcclure9546]

Played this in 6th grade talent show, back in 1979, and there was a reason I played it. Its that good.

[@michaelfletcher9640]

It really is called 'The Grand Ole Opry'! It's a country thing...🤩🤠😎

[@fourfingerwoo1277]

He wrote this song while in the midst of the Vietnam war, watching fellow marines receive “dear John” letters

[@AliasMark69]

Toy and Tommy Caldwell - Marshall Tucker Band - "This Ol' Cowboy".. ."Heard It In A Love Song"..."Fire On The Mountain"... "Ramblin'"... "24 Hours At A Time"

Wow, what a great performance! Thanks for the review...nice work.

[@faithnyou1732]

Another all-time favorite! Thanks for the great reaction! ✌💙✌

[@cdfdesantis699]

Though this is a sad song from a great southern rock band, it has a peaceful, relaxing vibe. Thanks for your reaction.

[@BGID7]

This might be a perfect song

[@laurarominger2073]

Used to make up mixed tapes and then mixed cds for friends. I line music reactions because I’d like to think this is how they reacted. Hahaha. Your face said it all

[@brentabbott3954]

Just so you know, Toy Caldwell is the thundering thumb!!!!!!

[@AliasMark69]

Another Classic Rock name added to your awesome Playlist..... i just smile, again. Thanks again. #67

[@peardrop61]

Excellent choice. Great band. Saw them live in 1981 in Canada🇨🇦.

[@suzanneprock7286]

This is a classic of the 70's!

[@betseyr.9081]

Great group live (of course they did this song but another great one they do is "Take The Highway”) and real nice guys too. I had the pleasure of meeting them all, cooking them dinner & hanging out backstage when they gave a performance at a venue owned by a friend back in 1999. These guys were part of the Southern Rock sound and more great bands (sadly overlooked these days) a few more bands in this group include Poco - a must listen by them is “Crazy Eyes", The Outlaws - "Green Grass and High Tides”, The Band - "The Weight (take a load off Annie)”… check them out too. As far as Jethro Tull and amazing flute work, check out “Reasons For Waiting” I know you haven’t heard Ian play like he does on this one yet!

[@alansnowdeal9845]

The Reactor Race. I have been watching several of the best music reactors for over four years. If they were cars on a track going round making laps there are some that are ahead of JMBOY TV… they have more time on the track and more miles traveled…BUT… JM is the Fastest Car On The Track. At the rate he’s moving he is doing laps around the field catching up to the leaders and will soon be among them in total numbers…. I just smile, again.

[@victorjohnson7512]

Old school southern rock. These guys were some of the best. Check out their song "fire on the mountain"

[@ladyruby684]

Awesome.

[@jerryjeromehawkins1712]

Hey Dude... I'm about to hit your subscribe button. This is the music that reminds me of working summers with my uncle. He always had Led Zep, Black Sabbath, Jimi, CCR, Deep Purple, Santana, Stones, The Beatles... playing in his old pickup while we were driving to his construction site. Keep them coming!!! 👍🏽🇺🇸

[@kevindobson3701]

Can't wait for my Robert Palmer request

[@juliemanarin4127]

Nice country rock band!

[@williamjones6031]

I got to see them at Harrah's Lake Tahoe just before the world ended and they killed. Needless to say, the remaining members are lot older now.

[@picolo4102]

Similiar like song:Allman Brothers "Whipping Post"

Baby It's You by A group named Smith

[@elegantirony78]

If you like flute in rock, you'll like Rainmaker & Many A Mile To Freedom by Traffic

[@buckdurant5336]

You've got to hear Blue Jean Blues by ZZ Top!!!!!!

[@AliasMark69]

Speaking of "Jethro Tull" - Ian Anderson's flute... my favorite from them, watch him live do..... Jethro Tull - My God (Nothing Is Easy - Live At The Isle Of Wight 1970)

[@philobeddoe8342]

I see everyone is using the old KZbin clip, where the sound cuts out for a couple of seconds. There's a clip on KZbin of this performance, where it doesn't cut out.

[@kenmeacham7025]

They don't make music like this today

[@bugvswindshield]

if you like this one, try This Ol' Cowboy I think the bands best song.

[@larueWatson]

I recommend you listen to Once You Understand by Think

[@davidwoolard1264]

Try Statesboro Blues by the a Allman Brothers for some more southern rock

[@danielmesery2904]

You would like HEARD IT IN A LOVE SONG ,BY M.T.B.🎶🎸🌟

[@jimmyfortrue3741]

Just subbed.... I really like your song choices. All the stuff I loved for years. I'm gonna suggest a song. Its one that no one ever reacts to but has some of the sweetest guitar you'll ever hear. Its called "Face The Fire" by Dan Fogelberg. Its about the Three Mile Island Nuclear power plant meltdown in Pennsylvania 1979. Very terrifying back when it happened, but no one ever talks about it anymore. Even if you dont react to it, give it a listen for yourself. You love guitar, youll love this.

White boys from The South are built different. At least 70s Southern artists were. Now everything is jumbled together and controlled by Hollywood. Every genre is controlled by the same people now, unfortunately.

[@MichaelSSmith-hs5pw]

Excellent reaction! And I was super thrilled to see you played the whole song without pauses or interruptions. (I subscribed to your channel for that reason) it pisses me off to the max when reactors pause the damn song every 15-20 seconds to bullshit about nothing that much relates to the song. The song just starts to groove & they pause it. There’s one channel that I refuse to watch anymore because he is constantly pausing during the songs guitar solo, as if that’s not an important part of the song. Kudos to you Bro, I hope to watch more of you. (No pauses please, lol)

[@AliasMark69]
