R.I.P. Gents, you are sorely MISSED! Thanks for these wonderful tunes to remember you by, MTB always takes me back to High School, bonfires, Keg parties, etc....

[@Misfit1026]

Tommy Graham Funny how we all did the same things in High School. '91 grad here and we had bonfire partys and keg party's all the time and one fixture at them all was someone's truck with a speaker box in back blaring MTB or Skynyrd or Hank Jr.

[@mikebaird8648]

Tommy Graham , thanks for the wonderful tunes to finish growing up on and the jamming concerts! Seen MTB at least 9 Times as well as Germany in the mid 70's.

It's still Covid lockdown. Nov 2020. Who's grooving to this like me ?? I had the pleasure of seeing them many times in the very early 70s. Magnificent. Never disappointed. 💙

Songbirds love Marshall Tucker. The Flutist is DIvine and plays like a Songbird's soulful song. Incredible intelligence and talent in this band. Whoever does not love this song, has no soul. Pity them.

Looking back on it all, they really had some wonderful tunes.

[@judithbecerra29]

aaahhhh...brings me straight back to high school back in 1978...keg parties, bonfires in the woods of the U.P.

[@cmac9able]

judith becerra: Hey, me too (Class of '78). Move that party miles south to the woods and cornfields of S.E. Missouri and that's my past. Things were so much more organic back then. My friends and I shared great music and warned each other to avoid the crap. MTB was always well-represented at these events (even when a song was cut in two due to changing tracks on the 8-tracks of the day).Thanks for bringing back good memories!

This song teaches you to let go and sometimes just to accept life for what it is.Valuable Lesson. Your soul is created through joy as well as pain. Losing as well as winning. Yin and Yan.

Such an American response. God I love the authentic US. So afraid I'm never ever gonna be able to visit your beautifull states because of my visits to Iraq, Syria and Ukraine. As well as being in prison after that because I tried to kill myself in a really dumb way that endangered other people.

[@joeedwards1682]

Can’t believe only 130k views. Top 3 best MTB song....easy.

[@rallabhandiprabhakar4750]

MTB in IMHO, is one the best and most versatile US bands . They are a Southern / Country rock band and expected to play twangy and bluesy guitars, some fiddle and harmonica but that flute is doing magic there with guitars . Flute is an instrument that is sparingly used by rock bands except folk/ prog band like Jethrotull who made a career out of flute based rock music . Flute has been used sometimes by Traffic, king crimson and a few other prog/ jazz bands but MTB used it quite frequently as an integral instrument . MTB developed a knockout sound steeped in Americana while embracing guitars and flute with perfectly matched vocals

[@timcottle3994]

i didnt read all of your comments but some, are u people crazy? i saw 5 songs on daytona beach, only 5 because it was pouring rain on spring break, i fell in love with only 5 songs (they had to quit cause of the rain) and convinced a couple other friends. then i did see them again in small venue, like 22 years later (not my age, crap) fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@boboala1]

Dang!!! In all my 61 yrs bombarded by the same-ole 'Classic Rock' computer-played setlists on every classic rock FM station here in the heartland - I have NEVER heard this song on the radio...and it straight-ahead rocks! Ya see, most folks just want to hear 'Cain't ya see' (uh, what dat woman done to me!?) because that's about all the tunes of this band we get to hear - rammed down our throat until we are convinced we love it and that's all we need to hear! I esp. love the sound of that rotating speaker effect on the guitar/intro AND the way the band 'gitty-up' their horses at the accelerando at 5:50 and race off & away...probably as far from a F-in hwy as possible(!) ;-)

[@starke2908]

Like thinkinng JJ CALE only had 2 or 3 songs

[@boboala1]

@@starke2908 Yep! And if it weren't for Lynyrd Skynyrd covers of JJ's music you'll probably never - EVER - hear any of his other songs performed by him on the radio...at least when you live in a rural mountainous area (at the bottom of a mountain blocking the biggest cities in my state) as I do!

[@socaranectien1933]

How in the hell is this anything resembling jazz?? Lol

[@apataye]

@@socaranectien1933 Well, the intrumental MID SECTION sounds quite jazzy to me, including its solos (the flute +than the guitar, maybe, as the latter does BLUES scales, ¡ok!, but the way is played, NO pick & little sustain, gives it a jazzy feel). I mean, is NOT jazz, but (as it happens with other U.S.A. 70s bands, like the ALLMANS, or CROSBY, STILLS & NASH) the JAZZ INFLUENCE IS APPARENT (though, sometimes, is subtle).
