- volunteer jam 75
ok heres the story to this post. My brother was at this show. He and his friends drove 8hrs through a snow storm to get to the jam from St. Louis. they didn't have tickets but talked to the road crew and they let them in. its classic. i remember being five years old and loving Caballo Diablo. I posted this for u Rick. You showed me what music is supposed to be.
You know it’s Toy he picks with his thumb. USMC Vietnam Vet wounded Purple Heart recipient. RIP Sergeant.
wow all these years and I never knew that. Thanks for sharing!!
@@101Patriot in fact Toy was wounded. Taken out of combat and when he recovered they said he could go home and he said No and went back to his men and fought until his time was completed. No doubt he had PTSD. He died of a heart attack what should I say was in part due to his drug use.
One of the best live songs ever
this is pure power charlie can jam with anybody and fit right in he is that good and caldwell brothers this is priceless and too think we lost them all man HEAVEN is getting QUITE crouded these days
What an absolute blast from the past Legends on this stage Thanks for the many many years of fantastic music for the soul. Always a great time but together Charlie with the MTB amazing
RIP RIck We Lost RIck a few weeks ago
RIP Brother thank you for showing me what true music is
One of my all time favorite bands. KSHE95 baby! I used to play this, it's from their double live album. I had a Huge Kenwood amp, Techniques turntable, Pioneer CS99A's and a graphix in my bedroom. Totally rockin.
Marantz 1060 amp. Kenwood tuner. Philips 212 electronics turntable. Advent bookshelves. And jbl's to match. Yeah, most of us old guys remember the 70s. Crammed in the dorm room with this cranked up three quarter volume. What a great time. Thanks for sharing this.
Yeah it was all about having that great stereo system most people had Pioneer or Marantz or Kenwood I personally had Cerwin Vega speakers which really cranked and just about everybody had a techniques turntable
the definition of southern rock!
I saw 'em play together back in the day ,Something to behold!!
Great post for ur brother!!!
as the sweat pours out yer body ya give every ounce of energy
WOW.
tryin' to reach that Arkansas line..
before the sun goes down...
No smoke, no dancing around on stage like idiots, no auto tune, just fucking good musicians playing their instruments and doing their art!
Absolutely right
Damn right bro
There yA gO 🎵
And no Picks!
oh there was smoke alright
Who are the 3 idiots who dont like this?Toy Caldwell is one of the most underrated guitar players ever.
Toy has left us years ago my friend. Sadly his life was riddled with tragedy and eventual death.
Thumbs down are Rap Heads or Hip Hoppers.
Agree, Toy was bad ass as Tommy was and the rest of the Band,seen them 3 times in the 70s, my favorite band, I'm from Oklahoma.
Toy was also a Vietnam veteran
❤
Missing Toy, Tommy, Charlie, George RIP
As i look back to this period... there were no finer musicians, and Southern Rock was a family. This is Gold. Today is Garbage.
12+ minutes of pure gold. The hardest working band. The most genuine talent. And damn fine Americans.
Not to mention war heroes. God bless America 🇺🇸!
WHITE HOT PLAYING AND LOVE BETWEEN 2 BROTHERS (TOY&TOMMY) AND THEIR FRIENDS. MTB AT IT'S BEST!!! I LOVE YOU BOYS, GENLEMAN & WAR HEROES .
We were trying to scalp tickets outside the stadium in the ice cold Chicago winter. The MTB bus was there, and they invited both me and my sister on the bus, great guys, real gentlemen. We were short a ticket so they let my sister sit just off the stage to view the show.... True story.
three quarters of the bands or musicians today couldn't function without todays technology. this was an awesome time to be alive.
Damn I miss the 70’s! I literally burned up Marshall Tucker Band 8 track tapes! Both the Caldwell brothers played with their thumbs instead of picks, it was amazing the sound Toy could squeeze out of that Les Paul!
Funny you mention how they both played using their thumbs, but especially Tommy. I watched an interview recently where Geddy Lee from RUSH talks about why thumb rests were originally placed at the bottom half of the pickguard, and not at the top above the E stringm which woukd seem like the more logical place for one...
Hd said in the early days of bass guitar, bass players would commonly play using a style that incorporated the use of their thumb, rather thsn their fingers. They would then grab onto the thumb rest using their index, middle, and ring fingers for stability and leverage. Bridge systems were even equipped with foam pads that could be raised to mute each string, and helped facilitate that style of bass guitar playing, which I believe he said originated from the south consistent with tyat sort of rockabilly and country "twang" style...
Perhaps, it's that exact style of playing is where Tommy's roots lie? It's an interesting theory and does make sense, anyways
Aah 8-Tracks. The 70's. I had a MTB 8-Track die in the car I remember. Excessive heat was not good in the car for those tapes in the Summer. I think that one was respliced a few times. Remember you could do that to them?
Well, the player ate the tape & I couldn't rescue it. I kept pulling strand after strand out. The window was half down & the wind just blew the 8-Track right out of my hand sending it down the road bouncing still with tape unraveling until the end. Such an inglorious ending for such a fine tape.
I still have some 8 tracks.. I got them from record bar in Portsmouth VA
I saw MTB 2 times 1974 1 Time In The 80s Toy Was Equal To Duane And Dickey
I use to put a matchbook under my 8 tracks so they would not drag. Those were the days.😊
To all of you so called country musicians, this is what a jam session is all about. No drum machines, no lip syncing, no naked girls singing background vocals. Just straight ahead music at it's finest. Good bless all of you for this post.
There you go man---pickin' and grinnin' like it's supposed to be!!! Damn I love these guys! (with Mr. Daniels--uh huh!)
Uh huh👍🍻
I'm actually okay with the naked girls
Me too
And NO Picks!
RIP Charlie, Tommy, Toy, George ❤️🇺🇸✝️
I love the Allman Brothers and Lynard Skynard, however The Marshall Tucker Band is the best southern rock band in my humble opinion,
Were , we all can't live forever
I have to agree. They’re my favorite so I guess I’m biased.
Tommy Caldwell drove this band like a Mack truck to make it what it was. It was the like a very well tuned 427. Smokin the tires. Seen them at mile high Stadium. As headliners in 76. 17 years old they were magic. !!
Absolutely correct
Ain't nothin wrong with diggin your tunes my man unique style spice of life
Every truck driver in America had this 8 track. Every truck stop was playing this song.
absolutely one of the best bands every to take the stage
THIS.... must be what Hank Jr. meant by "Playin with Marshall Tucker Band was as good as smokin grass"... amazing band.
Miss those guys...
Playing with these guys was BETTER than smoking grass.
Amen brother
Amazing talent.... Toy, Tommy, Doug, Jerry, George. Don't think we will see the likes of this again.
Kimberly O YES MA'AM, don't forget Paul on Drums, and your right, sadly we'll never see the likes of this again. But , at least we have the GREAT / TIMELESS recordings and videos :) I'm just Honored that I was able to see MTB & others as well in the 70's and SRV in the 80's.
Mark V Paul could slap them drums like two Jackrabbits f#cking!
Mark VNo body outside Marty Robbins played Southern Fried, Western Cowboy Music like Marshall Tucker.
There are several types of Southern/ Western genres of music. Google & search these genres......Southern Rock, Tex-Mex, Classic Country& Western, even Rock music has some bands w/ a Southern/Western base to their music. Many different styles and ALOT of Great Music.
I like the Western Cowboy feel/Sound and words that MTB bring into their music.
I was literally feet away from it, a magic moment in time.
It simply doesn't get any better than this! What memories!
Jerry horns just tear it up
Just amazing watching Charlie destroy his fiddle strings koop
You got that right when c d is practically one of your band members what you think
Amen
I saw/heard, "The Charlie Daniel's Band", hear in Garden City, Kansas.
He said, on the mike,
"Hello, Garden City!!"...
and the crowd went WILD!
He looked like he needed to
wear reading glasses, he squinted quite a bit!!
If you have ever attempted to play an instrument, especially the guitar, hopefully you realize the talent displayed on this awesome video. It takes God given talent and hours upon hours of dedicated practice to get near this level. Awesome.
Yes at least 14 hrs 😎
24 hrs
and organ/piano dubbing :)
24 Hours At A Time Practice multiplied how many days ???? Not days ....Years !!!!
No, I won't...
An incredible magical ,southern jam!
I’m still watching and loving it in 3/10/2020. Love my Caldwell brothers, and I got to mention my Allman brothers while I’m at it. God thank you for Southern Rock and letting me grow old with it. ❤️👏🇺🇸
It's May 2021! Lawd have mercy! I miss these guys! Thank goodness for utube!
You said. 70s
Aint takin my heratage!
Still watching and loving in 11/26/2022!
Damn, I heard THAT...!!
People talk about the Dead being in the groove at their live shows, this band could hold their own with ANYONE; listen to Tommy fucking hammer that bass!
Tommy was the glue that held this awesomeness together.
Toy's heart was broken when Tommy left him. They started playing together, Toy was 9, Tommy 7 and that came in an interview from Tommy himself. Tommy was the heart of that band. I won't leave an opinion of what is MTB today.
Has there EVER IN ALL ROCK AND ROLL been a bass solo like this one?
What a great band. You can tell Charlie Daniels is enjoying the hell out of playing with them.
spartanburg sc....i grew up maybe 50 miles away...this is what we grew up on...saw them more times than i remember....great music, but better people..REST EASY MY FRIENDS..YOU ARE STILL MISSED
I grew up in Oakway, S.C. saw them many times. The 70's was the best decade for great music.
I grew up not too far away too. Always proud to say that I grew up in same area that MTB boys grew up in. Have you seen the two interviews, one of Toy Caldwell, one of Tommy Caldwell by
I am not a religious man whatsoever but this whole trip is the closest thing to being taken to church and getting saved by the grace of good ol' Southern cookin' the way it used to could🥃🇺🇸🖤✌🏼
Seeing this video brought me back to MTB, Outlaws, Skynard, Daniels, NRPS, Commander Cody, 2-4 x each in the 1970s , and now excuse me I need to pass out in the bushes...
Hilarious! That was me at the Skynyrd 10 year reunion.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Paul Riddle is extremely talented - you know why? Because when you listen to song without the video, he makes it seem like there is 2 drummers when there is just him.
You are absolutely right one of the best underrated awesome percussionist ever
Love PR....
Oh hell ya and the flute and 🎸 too
A great jazz drummer who could play rock..
Rare combination
The Caldwell Brothers were thumb pickers. God blessem
Fastest thumbs in the West !
A lot of joyful noise out out of two thumbs...Incredible!!
Amen, Louise.
@@daveallman3981 Hey Dave, I LOVE your last name!!!!! ABB 4EVER!!!! Duane, Gregg, Dickie, Barry, Jaimo and Butch...
@@drrjim In the east. They were from South Carolina.
This song and performance I cant even talk about every person on stage is a master .Charlie burning up his fiddle strings outstanding
HELLO, TOY CALDWEL WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST GUITAR PICKERS, HE DID NOT USE A PIC, HE GREW OUT HIS THUMB NAIL, AND THAT IS WHAT HE USED, YOU GET A BETTER SOUND AND ATTACK ON THE GUITAR DOING THIS, R.I.P TO TOY AND TOMMY, COUSIN FIGEL
I'm in my 60's now but grew up on southern rock. MTB is the best ever. God brought y'all home.
Unique guitarist . This is the first time i see MTB then i love them 🇮🇩
In this time when heritage is being driven away forcefully this makes everything better RIP Charlie Toy and all other southern music greats
And who is listening in 3031?
“heritage is being driven away forcefully”. .? Wtf are you talking about?
@@helethead He mean southern culture has been systematically destroyed removing things like statues banning the confederate flag etc.
@@jamesmack3314 So, everything that still represents the fascist society that tried to overthrow the US government should be NOT eradicated?
@@helethead Snowflakes don't like when their "swastika" is taken away from them. Like little babies having their binky taken away. WAAAAYYYYYY
My greatest memory of a concert is seeing Charley and MTB play together in Florence Alabama at the old sales barn....... saw dust on the ground and just good ole rock and roll....... 1975
This band was absolutely one of the top bands ever. So much soul and talent. Their music just haunts your very soul. Miss them so much. I think Doug gray and Jimmy hall have 2 of the mist soulful southern voices ever
Sorry BB king you were great but tuckers version of the thrill is gone can't be touched. Blew you out of the water
I saw charley and mtb in Norfolk 4 times in the 70s. Bad as hell
To those of you who never got to see Paul riddle play the drums in person is the damnedest thing you ever seen he's got to be best ever.
This is why the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame is a joke. This band deseves to be in now. This is awesome I really miss this band.
The boys came to play..awesome
The Marshall Tucker Band with Charlie Daniels...?
Aaahhhh...Heaven...!
RIP Charlie Daniels... I bet Heaven is Jamming Tonight !!
Charlie, Toy and Tommy...
Awesome! There is such a void in music today since Southern Rock stopped getting air play. Such a great genre of music that only lives on because it has been passed down from sibling to sibling or parent to child. Good stuff. From an new Outlaws tune "There's a whole new generation to carry on our battle cry". Keep the music alive and share it with your kids.
George Nash I defiantly agree with everything you wrote so true and sad at the same time I miss southern rock but I will pass it on
Love them, brings me up when I'm (65 years old) fleelin' down. Familiar tunes, sing, dance, make a fool of ones self 😲
Where did you learn how to spell?
(Mr. KNOW it all, is HERE!!)
I'm 65 too still jamming with MTB!
We had a damn good time with this!
Tommy showed his stuff on this .....man I love this band and George M. was a huge part of this band .
God bless America! This makes me pine for the old days. I was in 8th grade in 75 and I remember listening to the radio stations in Chicago talking about the volunteer jam. I love how CD is clearly having a great time. He loved those guys and they loved him.
Caldwells, the fastest thumbs in the south!
Toy and Tommy, I want to thank The CDB for the intro to the Marshall Tucker Band to the world.
The older I get, the more I appreciate marshall Tucker. I grew up in north Carolina and they were from SC, but never got the accolades of other southern rock bands. They deserve th trust me on that. Heard it in a love song lyrically is among the best ever. This song is also ridic good. Luv luv luv
I have listened to MTB every day since 1975. I love all of the Southern Rock Bands. None tops MTB.
Absolutely nobody can pick. A guitar like Tommy and toy
And Charlie just shreds the fiddle.just a fantastic performance.
I don't think anyone realizes just how difficult it is to pick with your thumb.
I mean - who else does it.
Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac
Dean Guando - Mark Knopfler
I DO , I USE THE SIDE OF MY THUMB TO PLAY BASS IT HAS A DISTINCT SOUND TO IT
Those Caldwell boys just kill'n it. Poor Doug Grey with that wimpy tambourine. LOL. Bring'n a slingshot to a gun fight.
No ones will ever compare to them, the Marshall Tucker Band!
Another band I am HONORED to have seen live. ❤
yeah, this was the BEST Volunteer Jam EVER. I was there and attending MTSU at the time. These guys played forever....AWESOME SHOW..they don't have concerts like this anymore....but of course..bands like this don't exist anymore....good times..good times...God I wish for those days....
I can say I was there......Lived in Hendersonville, about 15 miles out of Nashville...."The Jam" was the highlight of concerts there. About anyone tied to Southern Rock would show up...the '24hrs At A Time" live version with Charlie on Fiddle is second to none...he made several guest appearances all over when Marshall Tucker played...it was very special...
this is what happens when you get a bunch of great musicians together...
I saw these guys So many times throughout the 70s and they always always kicked ass at their concerts‼️Rest in peace the brothers Caldwell and the others who have gone on before🎵🎵
Semper Fi to my fellow Marine Toy and I saw this Great Awesome Band four times . Stoned and talk about some Great stuff.
ok heres the story to this post. My brother was at this show. He and his friends drove 8hrs through a snow storm to get to the jam from St. Louis. they didn't have tickets but talked to the road crew and they let them in. its classic. i remember being five years old and loving Caballo Diablo. I posted this for u Rick. You showed me what music is supposed to be.
Awesome story. Caballo is such a great song.
MTB was the best

Ladies and Gentlemen, the King Biscuit Flower Hour Welcomes the Marshall Tucker Band... Never forget that last show April 20, 1980 at Nassau.. Best recording of MTB of all time. They smoked it, never to be replicated again as Tommy dies soon after.
Wow I thought he had just passed away earlier that month I also saw them in Nassau Coliseum but it was February but maybe I’m wrong either way but what I saw was truly epic they did five encores
@@jamesmack3314 He passed a few days after the last show on April 20. I had to go dig up the press clip from Newsday. He died April 28 1980.
@@daviddiamond1128 OK thanks and you were very fortunate as was I because the band definitely was never the same after that….
Man, I completely forgot about the King Biscuit Flour hour! A blast from the past!! Thanks!!!!✌🏻
The Thundering Thumb, Toy Caldwell!
Thank you, Lord, for the ABB, the MTB and the CDB. Indescribably delicious Southern Jam and Toast!
Still, after all these years, live version on 'Where We All Belong', best song ever. Still my favorite......
Mine too !!!
I still have the vinyl
Flat out Jam.....also love Everyday I sing the blues....
I also really dig Blue Ridge Mountain Sky!
@@jamesmack3314 Lawd I have the blues!! Thanx for your comment!!
Toy and Tommy practically standing on top of one another, the way true brothers do, just raking it. Tommy couldn't have been more solid in backing his big brother and driving the band. It's always seemed to me that Tommy's and Timmy's deaths in 1980 killed Toy inside, and the band died then as well.
Toy wasn't the same. Been front row looking straight up in their faces when they were playing. They loved playing together. The MTB was over when Tommy passed. The heart was gone.
That was sheer genius..wow wow wow.. ..R.I.P. Toy Caldwell..truly amazing..
Really hard to get a performance of this magnitude
MAN! what great FRICKIN version of a great song, I could listen to that 24 HOURS AT A TIME. R.I.P
To those no longer with us.🎼🎵
Every time Toy played he took it to the Next Level This is so Special the inspiration is Magic Music the Whole Band are Hall of Famers
The Talent of the Southern Masters has Shaped a Musical Sound Scape for Eternity this Sound is Eternal
God Blessed us with Charlie Daniels. Love this version. He could really rock out a fiddle. Amazing.
Marshall Tucker band is one of the greatest ever!!!
Absolutely shredding! Thanks for posting
Toy doin some "chicken pickin" with ol' Charlie Daniels!...outstanding!!
Remembering TOY CALDWELL - Toy Talmadge Caldwell Jr.
(November 13, 1947 - February 25, 1993) - The MARSHALL TUCKER BAND
Caldwell died on February 25, 1993, at his home in Moore, South Carolina. The cause of death was reported as cardio-respiratory arrest due to cocaine use, according to Spartanburg County Coroner Jim Burnett.
The boys are jamming in heaven now. Glad that I got to see Charlie and the Marshall Tucker Band a few times in the 70's. Doesn't get any better than this!
Thanks for posting the video. I have seen the band several times since the early 80s, but, missed Tommy and Toy. What a shame, Hall of Fame .
Best of a very talented genre but tucker had Toy writing those amazing lyrics
Just who do you thank for being put on this planet at the right time to have enjoyed all this great music first hand................. To You,,,, a heart felt THANK YOU!!!
My goodness!!!! Always brings a smile.
Charlie RIP Yyou tore this one up. Saw u 4 times 70 to 19
This is in my top 5 TH-cam videos, along with Skynyrd playing free bird 1976 Knebworth fair, Chicago playing 25or6to4 1970 Tanglewood, Allman Brothers playing whipping post Fillmore east 1970 and Grand Funk Railroad playing looking inside out 1970 Hershey Penn. Check um out
Watch Daniels face at 8:29 , he loves the music and the Marshall Tucker Band. Thank you Mr. Daniels.
I was there we drove thru a blizzard they closed the HYW after us in Kentucky, we get to the arena 3 am from St Louis and it said sold out! We were Bummed a friend and I took the other two to the hotel, we walked in the arena they were setting up the stage and after asking everyone if they new where we could get a ticket. we were told that the Lighting crew ha tickets 11 am so back we went until a guy stopped us and asked for our badge. We told him our story and he tells us if anyone can help us it Would be Charlie and he is over there so we walked up sold him we really came to see the concert he said well boys I have to but meet Tomye Crain at door 8 at 6pm and his wife would be there by 5:30 from mt Juliet and she will bring two more. Unreal from then on Charlie came Thru St Louis's venues at least ten times, he was signing albums million mile reflections and they were ending I told my girlfriend who became my wife I said just come on with me and I walked up to Charlie and asked him if he remembered he said how could I forget 4th row and the loudest voice he our the band had heard said to his business manager as he signed my wife's album while he told Fred set them up backstage every thing and we got big patches that stuck on your shirt passes for backstage. This concert was part of the Mississippi River festival outside I choose to sit in my second row center seats to enjoy the show, after the concert Charlie was backstage signing my hat and everything else put in front off him and all of the sudden he walks down these stairs and started to walk between two of his semi's so we follow and when we get behind the truck there are big metal Tubs full of Ice Cold Busch beer we stayed until 3 am what a party. From then on any time Charlie was in town he always took care of me once special guests of the CDB at six Flags. Another in Sedala MO state fair I only had one pass to get back stage but the three others I came with walked to the gate with me and it didn't look like anyone was watching the gate until we get in and this guy sitting in a wheel barrel says were are your passes I turn around he goes all right. there really weren't seats on the stage so I have a picture leaning on a marshal stack and Charlie turns around and I have a bottle of jack in my hand and he starts the slide part looking right at me to play whiskey. So many other great stories this man never forgot me what an honor, I always told him I was cemented as a CDB fan when I saw him open and play no place to go live blew me away after CDB, the Tucker Boys Toy blew me away, but to end the show kiel auditorium 1974 the last Act I had never seen live Ronnie and all his mules I didn't think anyone could top the two bands I had just seen until skynard blew me completely away they were so tight unreal I met Johnny with 38 special a friend of mine introduced me when they opened for ZZ Top I asked Johnny if there was any way I could meet Billy Gibbons and he said come on and we were in a room with Dusty Hill and Billy we somehow got into a small arguement because at the time I was living on the island of Kauai, and we were arguing about were the best weed was grown they said ZZ Top Island and I had to differ saying there is nothing like this man killer I have. So we lite up there's and after did one off mine and we talked for awhile when 38 special played I went back to my seat I was sitting with my dad and a couple of friends. No BS Billy came to mic and said that guy from HI you are 100% right my dad looks at me and says he isn't talking about you is he i said yeah. To many good times with southern rock.
Just a bunch of brothers jamming real music at its best that's the way it's done Right there doesn't get any better
photographed them in milwaukee in the 70's working for a hippie newspaper the bugle american. they changed my view of country rock jazz and fusion at a early age...
From Milwaukee. Used to read The Bugle. Saw these guys several times in town. Once at Summerfest where they shared the bill with Chatkie Daniel's. Great show.
The best is when Tommy and toy played side by side
WOW!! I LOVE THIS BAND! IM 70, I REAMEMBER MARSHAL ,Way back in the 70s. NEVER ever got to see them in concert. WOW!, THANKS SO MUC FOR CLIP! MAN, THEY ARE REALLY GREAT!
Seems like a lifetime ago
I hear ya man! :)
Oh heck ya a liftime ago but still glad to be alive Mr.Caldwell to appreciate legend
Vince Caldwell That was yesterday but yesterday is gone
Love youguys miss you !!!
Charlie Daniels sounds like Duane Allman playing slide.
Had the privilege of meeting Toy and George as they were walking towards the stage one night and I hollered “George McCorkle the fastest rhythm guitar player alive!!” Stopped’m dead in their tracks and Toy said “he listens George” then he said “git on in here boy!” Thought I’d died and gone to heaven…this led to backstage passes of course, meeting the band, Tommy was like an instant friend and he grabbed Joe McConnell(road Mgr.) and had me put on the permanent guest list. “Where ever we play all you have to do is go to the back door give’m your name and what you need and you’re in Tommy told me…On stage there were 7 different sounds coming from each band member and those sounds met right slap in the middle of the stage! Saw Tucker at many venues and got to meet all the southern rockers…1974-1981 were some good years and great music…one of the best nights was NYE ‘76 at Riverfront Coliseum in Cincinnati…The Outlaws….Charlie Daniels Band….and…. The Marshall Tucker Band!
I love this band. There was a period back in my undergrad days when I saw them around 20 times in a two year period. The incredible talent of the line-up is astounding.
