The Marshall Tucker Band - Full Concert - 11/29/75 - Sam Houston Coliseum (OFFICIAL)

[@larryworkman1131]

Hard to believe Marshal Tucker is not in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Toy Caldwell never recognized as one of the greats when it came to playing that electric guitar. Not many southern rock bands had a flute player n saxophone player. Robbed of never being recognized for their greatness n what they added to southern rock. To us old timers they made great music. Still loving it in 2020.

[@shannonfisher5029]

Well said, friend. Enjoying in 2022. Knew Toy because of horses. I'm an older musician/vocalist and there's nothing close to these boys, Charlie Daniels, Skynyrd and the Southern Rock bands of the day. Knew so many of those that have gone on. I miss my buddies.

[@DavidLee-rx6uo]

Yes it is! There is no Lynyrd Skynyrd exhibit but Taylor Swift has one go figure

[@FrostieFrog]

Just seen them at Carnegie Music Hall south side of Pittsburgh. I just turned 64 and the last time I seen them was 1977. What great music they created in their songs. It’s here for ever! Thanks for the talent and the memories.

Who GAS about the RRHOF? Agree with cockyhemi it just doesn't matter! For those of us who love the Caldwell Bros and whole damned MTB we got them covered!

One of the greatest bands ever, I was in high school when they first album came out and I have been a fan every since.

[@spourt6558]

I was actually at this concert. I was already following them, and had the 8-tracks, Marshall Tucker Band, Searching for a Rainbow, and Long Hard Ride later... I saw them again in Jeppesen Stadium in April of '76 with the Doobie Brothers and Santana. MTB have always been one of my all time favorite bands and always felt like Toy Caldwell never got the recognition he rightly deserved!

[@rivereuphrates8103]

Oof this is my first time actually seeing them in a live setting after years of listening to them (I'm under 30 so I missed my chance long ago lol). I'm super impressed by Toy's presence onstage, mesmerizing. Monster guitar player too, and criminally underrated. The whole band was and still is underrated. Just grade-A quality American music.

[@toppsseller321]

Toy Caldwell is the reason I took up playing the guitar. Underrated player.

Please don’t say underrated. That isn’t true. He is considered by many to be a master. He’s my favorite guitar player ever. I am not alone in that.

[@luvthedrake1375]

Playing with a pick is WAY easier. lol

[@paullevine1813]

@@luvthedrake1375 Playing with both a pick & your fingers is the best way to make a guitar come to life. Toy learned with no pick & it never bothered him one bit but to use both can only give you more options to use. Not many can pick as fast as Toy with or without a pick & shredders don't count.

I feel almost like I'm watching something too personal, the Toy Caldwell guitar solos. God Bless you Toy. I didn't know you and I was way too young to appreciate your work. I missed being mature by about 10 years. I can only hope I would have appreciated your music, your musical soul if I had been younger. As it is I have most of the MTB live recordings that exist and this live video as well. Love these guys, sax and flute included.

All I can say is I was a huge fan since the live album "where we all belong" came out in the early 70s and they remain my favorite band of all time besides the Beatles.

I have played guitar for 50 years now, and I still can't figure out how Toy was so bleeping good just playing with his thumb.

[@drjmole63]

Yeah I've been playing for about 50y too! I wish I'd started out playing (at 12) more with my thumb & fingers, no picks. I just watched a video of MTB doing Ramblin from 1973 and the closeup of Toy's picking is great. Here's the thing though - I don't have the physical ability to move my thumb or even a pick that fast now. He was in his 20's! I was pretty fast in my 20's but I don't think I could have done that. Lucky we have the recordings esp on Where We All Belong!

Listen to the Tucker Boys everyday since ‘71…was fortunate enough to have had Tommy tell Joe McConnell their road Mgr. To out me on their permanent guest list…on stage at many shows and man that sound comin’ from 6 different directions an meeting in the middle of the stage was mind boggling..wore creased Levi’s over whatever shined up cowboy boots I had on, with a Tucked in cowboy shirt and wide belt with a Tucker belt buckle and a summer straw or winter XXX beaver felt winter hat bearing The Tucker Twist and at some night shows there would be a Tucker moon. Think they influence my life much…how I met the band was incredible…in ‘73 Toy and George had gotten out of the Limo and where walking into the venue together! I was standing at a closed off gate with security standing watch… I hollered “George McCorkle, fastest rhythm guitar player alive.” Toy elbowed George and said “he listens, get on in here boy!” The guard let me pass and they both clapped me on my shoulders and called Tommy over…told him the story and he asked my name he said “Steve we’re all brothers in this band..” walkin’ me into the backstage band room and he said “hey y’all this Is our brother Steve!” “Hey Bother Steve they all said!” He asked how many passes I needed and I had the wife and another couple with…” is 4 too many?” I asked. They gave me 4 and I pith mine on my Levi’s and went out to get the others….when you get back in there’s drinks and eats over there on them tables, you’re welcome to anything there and don’t be shy” that started a good relationship with the band, they were very personable and nobody had an ego!!

Yep! They're from Spartanburg SC! Just a couple of hours north of my hometown! I saw them for the first time at Charlie B's Farm rock festival, maybe 1971 or maybe 72. Great weekend of lots of local bands and a few bands who were sort of known around the southeast. I remember Charlie Daniels Band was there too! First time I had seen him too! WAY before the Devil Went Down to Georgia! That was a great weekend when I was 16! I'll never forget that weekend! I was supposed to be home that Saturday night at midnight. Didn't get home till late Sunday afternoon! Was grounded for a week or so! But it was worth it!

[@danfaulkenberry3838]

I live less than a mile from Charlie B's! They have tried to revive it in recent years and have had annual concerts that have had decent local attendance, but nothing like what it was back in the 1970's! I knew these guys personally from the early days when they were still The Toy Factory. As great as they still were here, and as great a player as Franklin Wilkie was, and still is, there was a definite emptiness there after Tommy died. Then when Toy left to go on his own things really suffered. Doug has tried to keep it going and I have been to a couple of recent shows, but I probably won't go back. It just isn't the same. I do hope they are eventually inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame!!!!

This brings back memories. My band was on the road playing in Durham, NC. in June 1975 and we had a Sunday off so the guitar player and I made the 3 1/2 hour drive to Columbia, SC. to see Marshall Tucker at the Carolina Coliseum. They were just coming off an extended tour and said they were glad to be home. They put on a great show. Also on the bill were Lynyrd Skynyrd and blues man John Hammond. One of the best concerts I've seen.

[@danfaulkenberry3838]

Who were you playing with? I knew these guys from their early days as The Toy Factory. I had the opportunity to jam with a couple of them at Big Daddy's in Greenville, SC in 1975-76. Some of my close friends were the house band there (Mickey Fowler and the Variations). They were also close friends with Toy. The bass player, Tony Heatherly, became Toy's bass player when he left MTB and went out on his own. Anyway, Toy came over from Spartanburg (Pauline) one night along with Charlie Daniels. He brought his pedal steel. It was a couple weeks before my band went on tour for the first time in 1975. The drummer, let me sit in on The Orange Blossom Special! Their fiddle player, Jim Rumsey, and Charlie Daniels played "dueling fiddles"!!! It was definitely a night to remember!

[@donaldmann7387]

This band has been the soundtrack to my life since I was seventeen.

[@umbrellaman1119]

I was there, Grinderswitch opened, MT in the middle & Skynyrd closed the show…crowd rushed the stage during free bird.

RIP, Tommy and Toy, 2 brothers that knew how to play and party, God bless.

Marshall Tucker Band is one of the best bands ever 👍❗️ Seen them a few times back early 80s

[@lisaweaver986]

One of the Best in Southern Blues Rock and forever in remembrances.

In 1969-70's Grand Funk Railroad played COBO HALL in Detroit,Michigan MTB was the opening act....What a night!!!!!

SUBLIME... The Marshall Tucker Band - Live at the Houston Summit May 26, 1980 - This concert was performed less than one month after the death of founding member and brother Tommy Caldwell on April 28, 1980. Franklin Wilkie is brought on for bass duties. The date & venue info is definitely wrong on this YT listing, but the music - so FINE... This is a nice little "end of set" 46 minute snippet of a Pro Shot video taken in The Summit in Houston, Texas on May 26, 1980... Setlist: 0:00:00 - In My Own Way (Incomplete) 0:02:03 - Desert Sky 0:09:12 - 24 Hours At A Time 0:21:30 - Can't You See 0:27:39 - Searchin' For A Rainbow 0:33:42 - This Ol' Cowboy

[@larryvercher9809]

Damn sure looks like the lights around the top of the SUMMIT

[@mewienke]

Plus Desert Skies was released on Carolina Dreams in ‘77

[@coachchris548]

So MTB in NY Nassau Veterans Coliesum in 1980 Running like the wind tour. Awesome

[@daviddiamond1128]

hey I was there too- I posted on another forum about the WLIR master tapes I have, not the official release MTB Live On Long Island which is the other date (they played 2 dates, Friday and Sunday I believe) which is no where near the WLIR 92.7 show- which is the best MTB show of all time. In the next few days Tommy would die.

[@jimijames63]

Whatever brought you here ...take a load off...set fer a wile...

[@mnewln1800]

Moved to Oklahoma five years ago from Seattle and my early exposure to southern rock has made my transition a good one.

[@LynSkyn1981]

I find this hard to believe this was 1975, I see Franklin Wilkie on Bass, he joined the band in 1980, in 1975 Tommy Caldwell was alive and well.

[@davidteller7681]

I was gonna post the same thing...Toy's too old here for this to be '75

[@jeanvaljeanist]

"a concert so nice i played it twice"...first on my phone this morning, now on my laptop with speakers cranked. Toy's guitar work here is untouchable. shame it'smissing the first couple tunes.

[@jimmorrison1725]

saw them about five months after this....still alive to talk about it :)

[@damianfunes6674]

I'm from Argentina 🇦🇷 and I'm a big fan I love Marshall Tucker!!

[@oneofmany1087]

God Bless you for this one!!! A true Treasure

[@RickMcCargar]

Awesome, thanks! Now, more please! Haha.

[@haydenkusy8443]

30 year old Nebraskan that lived for a while in west Texas and their record “Desert Skies” gives me nostalgia. Marshall Tucker Band forever.

[@trips4477]

Very happy to have caught Marshall Tucker band I think it was Madison Square Garden. They blew the roof off !!!! Can't you see

[@randycropper1780]

My life came up in this music , ridding my Harley though the blue ridge mountain , down in Maggie valley , we all have times in our lives u just can't remove

[@bconigliaro]

No lead guitarist ever entered a song with more authority than Toy Caldwell. That strong, inimitable sound. Maybe I'd forgotten how good George McCorkle was on rhythm guitar, especially working with the great Toy. George also wrote the brilliant 'Last of the Singin' Cowboys'. He gets a chance for a perfectly respectable solo at 29:47.

[@LindaBuroker]

I am totally(AMAZED!!) at the small amount of views so far! I am so glad I just so happened to be up cleaning and felt like hearing what was, is and probably will always be my Hero Band!!! Thank You So Very Much for posting this Ultimate Treasure! What a Great Surprise it was to Find,,,,,And of course I couldn't just LISTEN! So Now my broom and I will finish our Kitchen floor and PLAY IT AGAIN! Considering the equipment back then was so different than now! I am still floored and covered with Goosebumps.....Kinda! One Question.......How did you hold that all this time and just put it out now? Thanks Again! I hope there are more coming soon!

[@sherellhill4881]
