[@carlisledecanter]

the caldwell bros were incredible

[@toddhawk9921]

Gather around, young people. This is a concert! No costume changes, lip syncing, or canned music. Wow. What a time for live music!

[@user-nn5kz5ky6b]

You are So right about that

[@quintonpriest]

Toy Caldwell, the Fastest Thumb in the South... RIP Toy, Tommy and George

[@keylearning5746]

Almost everyone onstage is gone now. Wonderful moments they gave us. This generation will never understand what we had.

[@nancyprianti2355]

But we still have Doug ❤️

[@redsammy7789]

Amen to that brother.

[@chrisullery3386]

This generation are not musicians, well there are a couple but thats it. Billy strings is a musician and marcus king. A few more more but most are rappers and computer synthesizers.

[@markpetano1000]

Doug And Paul Riddle still kicking

[@charlesbraun8867]

Seriously what happens when we’re gone . Educate your kids,show them what good music is all about. Have faith they’ll get,good music never dies

[@user-em2pe3rf4h]

Imagine a time when music was music just for the sake of music. R.I.P. good music. This dinosaur misses you terribly...like a friend that's passed on. Damnit.

[@craigmatthews9585]

An era of music that will unfortunately, never be seen again.

[@JLDB1987]

Toy is an unacknowledged GOAT. That thumb work is incredible!

[@patrickhite3026]

I was lucky enough to be there at 15 years old...I'm now 64 & still love it.

[@photog1529]

The best era for music, bar none. Still can't believe that Charlie just passed. I had the pleasure of meeting him at one of his shows in Austin, TX a few years back. All the good ones are leaving us. RIP Charlie, the Caldwell boys, the Allman brothers, Skynyrd. At least their music will live on.

[@richardlawson6787]

Doug gray was one fantastic singer...solid gold

[@KittyGrizGriz]

Yep! I love his gorgeous long hair, too ❤

[@mickbowen5521]

It still puts chills down my spine, hearing my old music. Everyone has their own era and genre... I'm just lucky this was my time and music!

[@michaelpartridge2122]

My daughter was in va beach where she bought an original rumors album. She asked the owner if he had any Marshall Tucker albums and he asked why she would be interested in that. She said that’s what my dad brought me up on. The man said that I knew my music and taught her right

[@kennyfunseth6908]

I hear you brother, what a good era this was..

[@kennyfunseth6908]

I hear you brother, what a good era this was..

[@kennyfunseth6908]

I hear you brother, what a good era this was

[@kadenneal2220]

I ain’t got no money but I damn sure got it made cause I’ve been searching for a rainbow down here by the Arkansas line. Crank it up!!

[@cowpuncher5099]

Pearl snap shirts,boots,leather belts,cowboy hats and you can’t pin a genre on these musicians! Good folks and real God fearin men! Blessed to have been brought up in this era.

[@davidsolomon7966]

I remember playing Marshall Tucker Carolina Dreams for a friend. He liked it so much I ended up giving it to him to keep. We're were about 19 maybe 20 and the whole Southern Rock movement really connected with all of us. That music still touches my soul to this day and I know it always will. If you're from the South no explanation is necessary, if you're not no explanation will suffice.

[@coreyfellows9420]

People forget that Charlie can shred a guitar as good as he can a fiddle...he was a killer

[@glennwolfe6056]

Feels the same way.. Today has it did way back when... 24 hrs at a time... Hoping that you feel the same way too...

[@burlingtonbill4687]

1972- I had just got out of the US army and my wife and I moved back to Wisconsin from Germany where I was an MP. Rosie and I owned almost nothing and had zero in the bank. I started back at the Glass plant driving forklift where I had been when drafted. We had one child at the time. I worked 16 hour shifts six day a week so we could get back on our feet. One of our first major purchases was a nice stereo. The kind in a beautiful wood cabinet that you don't see anymore. I bought Together forever by the MTB soon after and to this day they might just be my favorite band of all time. We saw them live in Milwaukee years later. I think Tommy and Toy had passed. I cover " Asking too Much " on Burlington Bill here on you tube. Thanks for posting their music!

[@JamesSmith-pm4wz]

Very touching story! 😢

[@rockinrowdy13]

one of the best jam sessions ever...to qoute Bob Seager "as the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play"

[@clemsonrugger]

My music during high school. the nights we spent with the Caldwell boys blaring from the car as we sat around a fire, passing a jar of clear around.

[@samiam5557]

Trucker song, mention of "white loader right down to the door" White Tractor, with fully loaded trailer....this song was on my mix tape back in the 1980's and I was a truck driver, paid to travel but piloting a big rig in some places of America is heroic to say the least. I felt akin to my Uncles and Dad who where aircrew in WW2, and survived. They seldom talked about it when sober, only at family celebrations did the real stories come forth. That is my story Thanks for posting this song....much respect and RIP to the Tommy & Toy Caldwell Bros. seeing this LIVE was transcendent to say the least.....

[@bufpowell]

Looks like Charlie was having the time of his life! RIP buddies!

[@stevethrendyle8406]

What happens at the 4:41 mark where Tommy starts hammering the bass is perhaps the greatest moment in Southern Rock history...

[@johnrosier1686]

It is always great to see a stage full of musicians cranking it out and making an all-star jam out of it. RIP all of those on here who have passed, you are missed but your music lives on!

[@user-tr3kf9hs6g]

You know they all be JAMMING for Our FATHER GOD now. RIP CHARLIE DANIELS TOY AND TOMMY CALDWELL AND GEORGE MCCORKLE

[@davib7534]

Except good old Doug Gray is still rocking along with a touring MTB.

[@TH-sn7mw]

Shades of Berry Oakley on that bass solo.The greatest music EVER!!!

[@jeffbranchick1516]

The fellowship and brotherhood of Southern Rock in the 70’s was a family unlike any other. What a great time to be alive and appreciating so many levels of talent and musicianship. All of these boys played music because it meant something back then. It was for the joy of playing and making people happy because of it.

[@jpalberthoward9]

I'd say the difference between this and what we have today is like the difference between home cooked Sunday dinner at Grandma's house with the family all there, and a funky stinky old stale baloney sandwich out of the vending machine at the bus station. No earthly possibility of comparison.

[@mvs784]

Still blow's my mind how Toy can pluck the guitar with just a Thumb !! GREATNESS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@chipmiller9163]

Toy probably wasn't feeling no pain that night lol

[@luvthedrake1375]

It's how Toy and Tommy's Daddy played and he taught them well.

[@brucerockwell5276]

RIP TOY an Tommy brothers to the end

[@snakeplissken5493]

+bruce rockwell yes sir !!!

[@freedomringer5192]

Amen my pirate brother!

[@margaretbennett3437]

@Fuzzy Butkus ,!

[@keithbrewster4168]

CDB & MTB, doesn't get any better.

[@samsmith4216]

Allman's has Whipping Post...Skynyrd has Free Bird...Outlaws have Green Grass and High Tides...MARSHAL TUCKER BAND has 24 Hours at a Time. All great jam songs from a great Era...'77 MTB was one of my favorite shows at the Capitol Theatre in NJ

[@donaldking8271]

I saw them in Charleston,W.V. a couple of times and at a smaller venue at W.V.Weslyan college. My wife amd I met George McCorkle after that show.Such a nice guy. Toy was too cool for school.

[@JamesSmith-pm4wz]

77 Saratoga, Outlaws and MTB!! 😊

[@zerep11]

A-W-E-S-O-M-E ...! Ever since 1973's "Where We All Belong" album set, TMTB is still my favorite Country-Rock Band of all time. And to have Charlie Daniels there too ~ SUPERB...!

[@Miatacrosser]

That would'a been the year of this concert.....1975. They released their first album in 1973. I know...I saw em then and they hadn't released "A New Life" yet much less "Where We All Belong." They didn't even play 24hrs at a Time when I saw them cause they hadn't written it yet.

[@davidlamontagne7311]

THIS SONG WAS DONE 2 OR 3 YRS PRIOR AT STONY BROOK GYM AND YES IT WAS AWESOME

[@SkelatorRevisited]

Well played Boys ! Charlie, Toy and Tommy can now start the Jam in the Sky. Legends

[@Kevin-pe6kh]

Their version of “ thrill is gone” on this album is legendary. Doug s vocals amazing. And a better lineup of southern rock. Can’t be outdone. Truly historical I’m soo glad it was caught on film

[@robertstroud7561]

THIS is what music from the soul feels like.

[@samiam5557]

Damn they were so good. Best Country Rock band ever in my opinion!

[@geofftipton6210]

the original Tucker band was so incredible! so much talent & chemistry that tied together to produce some of the best dang southern rock ever! CDB still honors those boys at most of their concerts.

[@DustyBalz]

It don't get no better, saw the MTB 30+ times throughout the 70s and early 80s. Met Doug and George and got to have a beer with Charlie in 83, lucky to grow up in them times, thanks for posting this

[@ronniestecklein6976]

and that's what us musicians call getting in the pocket getting in the groove when everybody smile and you're having fun and it's worth it and now you know why you play music

[@MountainJamz]

Also know as, "Hittin' the Note"

[@faith5940]

Could have been one of the best bands on the planet... I miss you Tommy and Toy.. soo very much

[@Miatacrosser]

What do you mean COULD'VE? THEY WERE LADY!

[@keithnichols8521]

All heaven is rocking now. Rock in peace Charlie. And thanks for all the years of GREAT music. Don't make music like, CDB, MTB, FB, anymore

[@gregstaton128]

RIP to those who have gone on before us.....their music will live forever...never gets old

[@Demon-rq5de]

This rendition is just awesome, watch it again and again and again......

[@metalmanchild1454]

That is how you start a JAM!!! They all came in with no stopping!!

[@paultreacy5248]

Super talented band, I love the bass solo by Tommy Caldwell!

[@ronhunt9396]

THIS IS THE KINDA COUNTRY MUSIC I LIKE. MORE R&R

[@supa308]

Charlie Daniels just rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He made this version of 24 HRS at a time the best out of all of them. Thank you Charlie!!!!!!!

[@Donsterzthevice]

[@You_Know_The_Thing]

A generous KZbinr strikes again. What an freakin awesome performance. Thanks for sharing.

[@fuita227]

Indeed...one of their best live performances...superb camera work...thanks for sharing...these videos are priceless.

[@davidlamontagne7311]

AFTER SEEINIG THIS PERFORMED LIVE ON STAGE STONY BROOK GYM CIRCA 1971/1972 to this day is the best live performances in r/r history it is a true story it actually happened I WAS THERE

[@ronnie5129]

I WAS THERE FOR THIS CONCERT, CDB'S VOLUNTEER JAMS WERE THE BEST CONCERTS THAT I HAVE EVER BEEN TO, R.I.P., TO ALL OF THOSE THAT ARE IN ROCK AND ROLL HEAVEN, AND THANK YOU CHARLIE, YOU ARE ONE OF THE MOST GIVING PERSONS EVER TO WALK ON EARTH, COUSIN FIGEL

[@jpalberthoward9]

We used to Have the Georgia Jam at Fulton County Stadium in Atlanta every spring. I saw this exact same line up in 1977. Probably within a few days of this. The memory remains, and will remain until my final day.

[@joenelson8109]

Brings tears to my eyes and joy in my heart saw these folks back in the day. The talent and excitement they brought to the stage was nothing less than electric. Toy Tommy Charlie and the rest of the band your music lives forever in my heart. Thank you and Good Night

[@chrisdalton6895]

On this Christmas Eve I sit not alone but with my father in my heart who turned me on to these guys... such beautiful music brings a tear to my eye being able to enjoy this and think about my pops rockin out with me to this. Charlies fiddle is out of this world, he is having the time of his life up there. Tommys bass solo and Toy jumping back in with him is pure magic, and ol Jerry bringin the wind, the love and connection of two brothers who are just playing their hearts out with their thumbs. Absolutely astonishing, an outstanding performance!

[@coreyfellows9420]

Yea the old man did the same for me brother

[@luvthedrake1375]

Toy lost Tommy and his other brother Timmy a week or so apart in separate auto accidents. How devastating was that for a kind, brilliant man? It certainly marked the end of that MTB era.

[@scottgrooters8357]

Nothing better than Good Ole Southern Rock 🪨🎸

[@stephaneckes7438]

Two of my favorite bands playing together! Trucky

[@marksimpson8624]

I've been jamming to this tune for almost 50 years and it never gets old.

[@alanschreider649]

Oh man, southern rock at its finest!

[@timothymarx8748]

RIP Charlie. You will be missed

[@BrotherBrio]

Just the hands, the heart, and the mind of each player working as one. No Autotune, no drum machines, no time "corrections" just music

[@billmilligan6940]

Hell yeah ...."24 Hours At A Time" live .... does not get much better than this

[@curtislowe2775]

We live in Houston, TX and this is just another video for my son's rock n' roll history lesson. He had the chance to see MTB in New Braunfels, TX at the historic Gruene Hall and he told me after, and I quote, "Wow dad that music really has a feeling to it." He's gonna learn...oh yeah he is gonna learn...LOL!

[@coreyfellows9420]

Yea he's definitely made the connection....tell him I said welcome to the tribe

[@coreyfellows9420]

My dad brought me up on all this same stuff...i was born in 83... When I got into my 20s the music only aged like wine... Now nearly 40...its a mix of nostalgia, memories of the old man, and memories of raising a whole lot of hell jaming good music and dtinking cheap beers

[@Mtns14000]

😂😂

[@davidmccloud837]

Marshall Tucker Band. Totally friggin awesome.

[@KittyGrizGriz]

Lead singer has beautiful long hair, love this song so much! 💖

[@paul1x1]

I have been to that southeast corner of the USA it is a beautiful place food that you won't believe 4 months I worked in and around Atlanta I gained 16 pounds listened to the best music ever it is a place unto itself I will return the people I worked with and for became friends

[@Bbendfender]

We used to play their songs back in the 70's and we still do a few to this day.

[@denniskressler7823]

long live The Marshall Tucker Band!

[@alfemurphelps7224]

I listened to this live on WNEW when I was 15! I recorded it reel to reel to cassette and put thousands of miles on them!! To see the video is so cool!!!

[@fredscott413]

That magic Thumb,youd swear it was a pick.

[@generalemailaccount6891]

The Volunteer Jams were great to listen to. Wish I could have went to them. At least I got to see MTB and CDB in concert on their own many times. Where We All Belong is one of my Top 5 albums of all time. 24 Hours At A Time just rocked my teen aged world back then!

[@vegastyphoon]

the true definition of JAM BAND

[@mattman8541]

True Artists in every way....the live in long island is one of the best sounding live albums I've ever heard

[@jasonjohnson7445]

One hell of a jam.

[@billc6087]

So glad I got to see them back in that era...

[@debrawardlaw4558]

Me too

[@roosterman9256]

Can't believe only 61 likes. They were great had the honor an privilege to see in '78. So underrated.

[@brendawatkins7985]

[@brendawatkins7985]

Underrated MY Ass not advertising enough #M~T BOYS MUSIC

[@peterhorah7884]

I saw them live in (I think) 1976 in a very rare appearance in the UK at the Hammersmith Odeon with Grinderswitch and Bonnie Bramlett. Last numbers: MTB invited the support bands bands on stage! The stage wasn’t big enough! So memorable.

[@johnbalmforth8467]

You lucky man,peter

[@josh747]

I was there with my girlfriend at the time. One of the best jams ever. $5 each to get in.

[@navycorpsman9313]

josh747 I was there to. Me and two other guys stationed at Camp Lejuene drove over for it. was just back from Okinawa

[@josh747]

Cool. I didn't know, at the time, they were filming it, until I ran across the DVD in the $5 bin at our local Walmart about a year ago. Well, of course, I had to buy it, and go down memory lane. I see Walmart carries it on their website, although the price is now $9.99.

[@debragezotis1450]

I was so lucky to these great bands together it was rocken show

[@ericwillersdorf7452]

Charlie, Tommy, and Toy are having an epic jam in heaven right about now

[@bobo420TX]

Saw this kinda same show 12.31.75 NYE 75/76 @ The Armadillo in Austin. Has always been in my top 10 shows ever list. MTB opening for Charlie both bands across the stage together from Midnight on.........Southern Rock and hippie gurls. I wish I had a time machine, though I doubt I would come back.

[@debrawardlaw4558]

@bobo420TX Toy mentioned a club in Texas in an interview. There was 2 interviews his and Tommy. Put in Toy then mccurry. He talks about the painting about the horse jumping over the moon by Federson who got murdered trying to break up a fight. It inspired the song Searching For A Rainbow and was the cover of the album. He called The Armadillo a hot little club.

[@markbrennan8033]

Saw them at the University of Minnesota when I was a teenager. We smuggled a Sixpack of a nationally known barley pop. I'll never forget this song. Thanks for the post!

[@monmixer]

what a great jamming song. i love playing this song. It's one of those songs where you can just play fills or take off as long as you stay in the E scale. tear it up!

[@billbohannon5672]

notice Charlie's bow sting goes from normal to shredded by the end. That is jamming.

[@barbhansen1378]

bill bohannon Horse hair is what bows are made of😬

[@coreyfellows9420]

Lol... Straight up huh man

[@mickconnor7929]

This is great! Ty for posting!

[@mikewells1407]

15 , I was totally captured by "Southern Rock" , had my feathered cowboy hat bent so far down in the front and back I had to lean back to see. Loved this era of music, by far the best

[@otosage2188]

One of the best songs ever written, music was ridiculous..........The best!

[@MrWeb49]

greatest band ever to take the stage

[@bm8231]

Without a doubt

[@scalemiester]

Umm.... that would be Allman Bros.

[@rebreb2006]

MTB is the best

[@shitzhead3436]

BASS SOLO YAAAA!!!!!!

[@ormondmayer5235]

Marshall Tucker & Wet Willie at the Atlanta Municipal Auditorium....THE BEST!! Partied with the boys in Sparkle City; great folks. MTB lives on forever!

[@brendawatkins7985]

One of the MTBOYS BEST SONGS made with Love THAT CHARLIE D Can't find that on UTUB TV station ROKER WHY

[@t.n.thomas6952]

I was there, one of the best concerts I have ever been to. Growing up in Murfreesboro in the 70s was the best, we had all the good music.

[@playbluesman1]

T.N. Thomas The best Vol Jam ever. Wish they would have returned to the MTSU Campus for future shows.

[@andrewtownsend9128]

Their music transcends time.

[@RandyTanner]

The best ever giddy guitar sax ever

[@phillippowlowski6361]

ive seen them live 8 times between 73 to 1980,southren rock at its fineist they should have been in the hall yrs ago

[@caplumatt2010]

[@tomgahagan7095]

God Bless Toy and Charlie. Legends

[@steves7896]

I wish so bad that I was there that it hurts. Another time, another place, I wasn't quite 4 years of age yet.

[@RJ-wy6cx]

You're right this song is absolutely awesome two great bands and it does send chills down your spine Cool

[@stevecochran3033]

You can not bottle or can that stuff up. So pure and perfect.

[@DateTwoRelate]

Very few places to watch Toy's magic for obvious reasons. The magic is right here!

[@billnovicki2320]

Can't help loving this song...

[@bigd-1-channel514]

Back when Music was good, People were real, and all the bullshit of Political Correctness was Unknown.

[@faith5940]

No doubt!!

[@coreyfellows9420]

Fukn aye man...couldnt have said it better

[@johnisthomas5818]

Saw them both, separately in concert. Both, great bands and music
