Running Like the Wind Toy Caldwell Band RARE AUDIO LIVE Upper Saddle Creek NJ

[@JourneyThruThePasttv2025]

Toy was my favorite singer-songwriter and guitarist ever!! There'll never be another...Jam across the desert sky forever Toy!!

[@carlcorino8601]

oh yes

[@Elly855-fMi]

Wish I could have experienced this live. I could listen on replay all day. Music today can’t hold a candle to Toy Caldwell. RIP, sir. 🇺🇸

[@marystirling9180]

I agree with you and also recognize TRUE talent/musical ability. Unfortunately, I was not following Toy and the other Caldwell. I have seen Marshall Tucker Band approx. 30 times +. Keswick this past Feb., Mercer Park, Hamilton, NJ (absolutely AWESOM). When they played "FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN' - THERE WAS A GOD GIVEN STORM BEHIND THEIR STAGES AND LIGHTING WAS PREVALENT; HOWEVER, WE THE AUDIENCE AND BAND, FAIR GOERS WERE SAFE!! the storm was behind the stage about 5 miles away. FREAKY! T R U E S T O R Y.

How could this class of an entertainer be overlooked? Unequivocal class honed with guitar perfection matched with deepest heart felt lyrics and a gravely voice to envelope the hardest man. He spanks the hollow crap we get today.

Memories come rushing back, Saw them 3 or 4 times in Johnson City, TN. in the 70's. When southern rock was in its prime. Smoked many a mexican and homegrown joint while listening to some of the south's primetime tunes. At 61 now, I will never forget all of the greats like Toy.

[@eddiewalkerjr.8229]

This song and the whole album, popular in 1979 when I was stationed in Keflavik, Iceland. It is a magic song and is in a magic place for me in my mind; a beautiful place with a beautiful, Viking woman, physically beautiful almost beyond belief, and indeed, she did love me when there was a wind in the Iceland sky, and in the natural hot springs sauna all about that island, Keflavik and Jodi and we'll be running like the wind. Thanks Toy, for the soundtrack of my Iceland life. Love ya and R.I.P. brother. R/ Eddie

[@richarddrury8319]

Stationed!!?? More like vacationed. Where ever we went there were bombs dropping from the sky's, not blonds.

[@bobmistark3836]

This has always been one of my favorite MTB songs, but this soulful version is the best.

Only Toy could slow this song down and make it sound as good as the original.

Same goes for me, except outside of a couple of big hits on the radio in the 70s, I only really discovered Toy and MTB in the last few years. I'm kinda pissed that I've missed out on such great music for most of my life.... until now that is.

[@jamesmalamute7874]

Not only his thump picking leads are unique, and unrivaled by any Guitarist, but his comping skills are out of this world. So tight, and flawless

[@brucemarshall9555]

James, not many were aware of his rhythm comping skills, when I played beside him. As best I could tell he actually pinched multi strings with his thumb and index finger rather than the single thumb attack. It’s something you could never teach someone, he just “had it”.

[@missingyoumd]

Only 200 + views are we freaking kidding. Truly one of the greats of all time. Absolutely love early MT

It's a shame we lost both brothers so young. Watching interviews, I don't think Toy understood that you take a break and come back later when the fans miss the music. Will the band ever get into the hof? Great musicians, great music forever.

[@brucemarshall9555]

Yes, that’s me on vocals and keyboards. Shortly after I joined the Toy Caldwell Band in early ‘89 Toy gave me the lead vocal in Runnin, 24 Hours, Take the Highway and my own Human Race. If he had a rough vocal night on the previous gig I’d sing the entire show except Can’t You See.

ALL these Saddle Creek videos are fuckin' Bombs Away, and I can not get enough of it ! Pure unfiltered Toy ! This guy's voice accents Toy's lyrics and playing beautifully [not too much]. Toy's guitar playing is so great .that we don't realize how great of a songwriter he was... Right up there with Hank, Willie and Mcartney. It's interesting Why he was not a household name and this has only 300 views. Maybe he should have worn oversized shoes and glasses .spandex clothes, with a sock stuffed in his pants.....

Blake Norman actually the video from dayglow76 is a different version. That was in Spartanburg and this is in NJ, but toy just opened up the song the same way. Probably did it at every show. I noticed he said the same thing before playing “sleepwalk/nightlife” about his dad teaching him the song on guitAr. There’s no video of this performance unfortunately

[@MAGAMANPATRIOT]

The Mighty Thumb of Toy Caldwell man he is sorely missed. Gone way to young the Caldwell family went through losing three brothers in what seemed such a short span of time. All bass players use their thumb but not like Tommy Caldwell. I guess watching and hearing Toy played a big part of that. Toy never forgot his brother Marines either The Devil Dogs caught hell up on the supposed DMZ. Most I knew came home the color of the clay up there. Anyway people that aren't aware should know about Toy's service. More than a Marine more than a musician back in the day we'd say something like the man had a lotta soul. RIP Brother Caldwell GBNF
