The Marshall Tucker Band - Can't You See | REACTION 

“Heard it in a Love Song” is their biggest top 40 hit, though “Can’t You See” was definitely a classic rock staple.

Toy Caldwell decorated Vietnam Veteran, MARINE

Music will never be this good again.

They are one of the underappreciated harmony bands. They had some good singers.

Flute solo; Firefall “Strange Way”. Outstanding

This is southern rock at it's finest. The flute solo at the beginning & end is great. Love their music from the 70's. Some of their other big hits were "Fire on the Mountain" & "Heard It in a Love Song". Southern rock fiddler Charlie Daniels did quite a few collaborations with them.

You gotta see the live version of this song, done in some small venue in Georgia about 1971.....it's on RU-vid.

Toy Caldwell was a talented song writer, musician and singer . He was also a Vietnam war veteran. Great band , used to go see them live , just awesome band

No pick for Toy Caldwell. Used his thumb to great advantage. RIP Toy and Tommy ❤

Can't You See is one of those songs that's so damned solidly good that sometimes it gets overshadowed by other flashier songs. Just a great American, soulful song. I have seen Marshall Tucker live throughout their earlier years, and it was always guaranteed fun music you could rock to in a down-to-earth atmosphere.

The guy who sings this song always reminds me of Roger Daultrey of The Who.

The lead singer on this is Toy Caldwell who was the guitarist and wrote it - he was also a vet - USMC

Here in Canada this southern rock hits just as hard as anywhere. Southern rock is was and will remain to be the soundtrack of my life.

Very cool song and band!! “Heard it in a Love Song” is still my favorite of theirs! Acoustic guitar and flute are prominent in both! Can’t forget about “Fire on the Mountain”!!🤘🔥

Georgia girl in the house. This song brings back the best memories!! Thank you!!!

Toy Caldwell was a Marine sergeant and served in Vietnam and received a PurpleHeart. . Tommy Caldwell also served in Vietnam and was a private first class. The Caldwell brothers were the founders of the Marshall Tucker Band. Toy Caldwell died in 1993 from respiratory failure, and Tommy Caldwell died in a car accident on April 28, 1980. Tim Caldwell also passed away on March 28, 1980, from a car accident.

I love MTB. Doug sang lead most often, but this is Toy Caldwell (the fastest thumb in the south) singing lead and playing lead guitar. Toy's brother Tommy played bass. That flute is compliments of Doug Eubanks. Rhythm guitar is George McCorkle. Drums is Paul Riddle. If you know his voice, you can hear Doug Gray in the background. I love the "Carolina Dreams" album from the first note to the last.

Back in the day, I was able to see the Marshal Tucker Band and the Charlie Daniel’s Band in concert together. What a great show! These guys are fantastic!

Fire on the Mountain!!

5 star. This song will stick to you

Marshall Tucker Band was HUGE in the Midwest! St. Louis was a regular concert stop.

The performance of this song is awesome. One of my favorite tunes, it's moving and performed by a bunch of talented musicians. Toy Caldwell wrote beautiful music and his voice will grab you.

These guys where great in concert

This takes me back to the 70s. That’s all I can say.

Marshall Tucker was one of the bands signed to Capricorn Records, which was an independent label in my hometown of Macon, Georgia. Other notable bands and artists signed to Capricorn included The Allman Brothers, Elvin Bishop, Wet Willie, Percy Sledge, and more. Capricorn Records is often credited for creating the southern rock genre.

This song takes me back to the 70s for sure. I saw The Marshall Tucker Band when they opened for The Allman Brothers back in the mid 70s, They performed at The Cow Palace in Oakland, Ca. Once the Allman Brothers had finished their set.... several members of Marshall Tucker came back on stage as well as Boz Scaggs. Wow... That was a LOT OF TALENT on one stage. Great concert. Take care...

my favorite song of theirs is the best post-breakup song I've ever heard-- "this old cowboy." If you wanna react to more of them, you really can't miss on that one.

To me, that flute sounds breathy and warm, almost like a wooden recorder. I can't see this as a love song, it's a song of despair over his woman walking out on him without saying goodbye. He's deeply broken over what she did, initially saying he was going to jump off the highest mountain, or find a hole in the wall to crawl inside and die. This is the beginning of recovery from a relationship that went deeply wrong, but it's when the emotional wounds are still bleeding.

This song in headphones is quite different from how I've always heard it on the radio. Gives it a whole new life.

Hey whoever was popping money in the jukebox this song was always a great choice no matter where you lived.

As you like MTB, if you haven't already, check out the Ozark Mountain Daredevils and their hits Jackie Blue and If You Wanna Get to Heaven. You'll love them.

Love that flute. And Toy Caldwell's lead guitar, bending those strings.

So Marshall Tucker was a blind piano tuner and the song you review is called "Can't You See". :P That turned out great, ha ha. This is the only song that I know from this band and it's AWESOME! So glad you decided to review it. Perfect song and a perfect reaction from you guys.

This is a standard at any bar down south, and you can find it on most Waffle House jukeboxes. But it really shines at wedding receptions. Brings down the house.

LOVE my Southern Rock. You guys could do Southern Rock and Yacht Rock every video and I would never get tired of it. I don't think I ever offically requested this, so...... Dreams I'll Never See - Molly Hatchet. So frickin' good. Ryan would not be able to sit still and Nick would be in his adorable-face mode for seven minutes. Nice choice. Really enjoyed this one.

Saw these guys on Long Island as the main group, in the 80s The opening act was Jimmy Buffet. 1/3rd the fans at this place called Sundance were Tucker fans, and 1/3rd Buffet fans. The rest of us enjoyed both to the fullest.

The first time I saw Marshall Tucker was at a roadhouse near Spartanburg. Five dollars at the door and the first beer was free. I'd never heard of them before that. Best $5 I ever spent.

"flutes always sound woodsy to me.."..hmm, they are a woodwind instrument...coincidence? I think not! LOL! Great react! I'm an old fart, Marshall Tucker been with me since they began, no way to go wrong with any of their stuff, and they have a LOT! Keep on!

Take the Highway and 24 Hours At a Time.

This band was at their very best when performing live! A great album to check out of theirs is a live album called Stompin Room Only! Fantastic!

I’m 66 and that song, along with several more Marshall Tickets songs, has been on my playlist for well over 50 years now! I never get tired of it! ❤

We are from Florida, and Memory Lane played this and morphed the ending into the Hey Jude chorus, as the chords work for both songs.

Oh man, guys….this is one where the live performance is really good. (Matter-of-fact, anything before 90ish, you gotta go with the video….its part of the story) keep bringing Southern Rock! 🤘😎

I'll never forget the first time I heard this song. I was in my aunt's attic listening to it on an LP. My Sister's boyfriend rented the top floor of my aunt's house, and I was skipping school hiding out there playing his albums and ran across The Marshall Tucker Band. Well, that day I became a fan.

Classic!

Thier Legends! 38 Special,Molly Hatchet ,Blackfoot! Keep this Train Going!

I always felt the flute was the sound of the train starting its way to Georgia and again at the end as it makes its final steps of its journey there.

Great reaction, song puts a smile on your face!

The small venue in Georgia is a "must see." 🔥

Born and raised just an hr or so from Spartanburg S.C., I grew up listening to this band. I'm in my 50's now, but they were huge back in the 70's to early 80's. And your right, as a teen living in a rural area I spent many a summer evening in my 77' Grand Prix, windows down, woods and farmland going by and the MTB cassette in the tape player cranked to 10!

Love this song! Still listen to it. Puts you in a mood in a good way.

I've always loved this song and to be honest I wasn't sure how you were going to feel about it. Pleasant surprise 😁

The smile on Nick is priceless. I love it.

Even us Pacific Northwest folks dig this!

There's a live performance of this tune that is worth watching.

I saw them in 1977 with the Doobie Brothers. Great concert!

Still played in the local small town bars and on classic rock radio stations. Classic, stellar, southern toe tapping RnR!! Thanks, I enjoyed this.

Oh yeah this is a great song!

More southern rock please!!

Funny that you said that about hearing it in the headphones. My first time for hearing almost all of the old songs was from a little transistor radio under my pillow listening to WLS on AM radio. When I listen now I think, Where did all of these instruments in stereo come from.

Your picks have been so good, for the last couple months!!!!

I was just thinking about that headphone thing when you commented. Truth.

I love this song so much, thank you for covering it. ❤

Great singer, great band.❤

Hmmmmm....that flute at the beginning sounded a LOT like the "Old Spice" button!! :D :D :D :D :D ENJOY, GUYS!! LOVE MARSHALL TUCKER BAND!!!

LOVE this song.. I have since it came out. I am an old lady, 64, and this is the soundtrack of my youth. The 70s was definitely one of the best decades for music (followed by grunge/alternative).. the 80s.. meh... the 90s.. meh until the end of the decade. About 10 years ago I saw these dudes in their bus leaving an eating establishment in Spring, Tx. They had just finished a gig and were hitting the road again. Had to honk and wave!

It's perfection. Especially with better sound than on an old car radio or bedside clock-radio. 🔺️ I'd like to know if someone knows of a favorite live version. It must have been a great song for them at a concert.

Another new one on me and loved it! Going to listen to it again.

Lawd,,,,it hurts sooooo much. 😥😥😥👍

Bad Mamma Jamma Song ...excellent

The live version is great

Fooseball. And pickled eggs. And that shuffleboard game with the sawdust.

Timeless beautiful song!!!

In Upstate New York, where I grew up and as a 14 year old in 1980 this was our jam. NYC probably not so much.

Tennessee here and it doesn't get no better than this!!! SWEEEEET TUNE

Nice one Boy's, nice one...

Saw Marshall Tucker open for Grateful Dead sept 1977 in englishtown. NJ awesome day 90,000 people in a field by RaceWay park

THANK GAHD! I was waiting for some reaction channel to do MTB

Another chill one of theirs - This Ol Cowboy

Great band. Toy could play! I saw them, with Jefferson Starship, on the Bicentennial. Their live LP, Where We All Belong, features Charlie Daniels on “24 Hours at a Time”, an essential Road Tune. ✌️❤️🎶

Great to hear this again. With regards to the Midwest, Southern rock--including this song--received regular rotation on Detroit radio, as well as at the bars. (And yes, usually those small ones with the smoke and the pool tables.😄)

Heard it in a Love Song !

I saw these guys back in the 90s at a cool club called the Sting. Check out their song Flirting With Disaster. It’s a real banger. This is a pretty song. ✌️❤️

The background behind you reminds me of home. BTW, 5-way for dinner tonight. Also, building rented by a blind piano tuner.....the song recorded by the next renter..... " cant you see?" 😊

The home of the Blues. Check out this flute.

You should check out the live version of this at the Mohegan Sun Casino with Marshall Tucker and Desiree Bassett

Toy Caldwell!!!!

Outstanding classic rock Bravo

Guys, check out " Rock Me Gently" by Andy Kim. Huge hit in 70s by Canadian artist.

Boy, that song really takes me back!

I worked their show a couple days ago. This was the last song they played..Only one original member left

This song makes me feel for the person that has gone through a rough relationship!😢 this singer sire sings it with emotion! Is this a one hit wonde???😊❤

Nice musical and lyrical breakdown by the guys here. It would have been awesome to here a comparison with the recent ELP/prog rock song. There is something about the country and R&B base to most Southern rock from that era that typically makes it a more worthwhile listen for me than most, not all, 1970s prog rock. I was glad that both Nick and Ryan brought up the guitar and piano work with the vocals. Great stuff! Another quality and entertaining video on the board for the guys. 😁 #BobRossAlbumCover 😂 #SouthernAllOverThePlace (Note: That's a great t-shirt slogan with your logo for the merch store. You're welcome!) 😂

Hottie, Darius Rucker, from Hootie and the Blowfish are from SC.

The guys turn the page from Paramore to The Marshall Tucker Band, another group that blurred the lines of conventional musical genres. "Can't You See" apparently has been sampled once by a group named Fun Lovin Criminals in 1998 for their song "Big Night Out." The song has only been covered 10 times but some legends and well known groups/artists have recorded the song. Hank Williams Jr. appears to be the first to release a cover with fellow country legend Waylon Jennings recording a version not long after in the mid 1970s (the first link above). More recently, The Charlie Daniels Band put out a cover about 25 years ago. The Zac Brown Band with Kid Rock released a version nearly 15 years ago. Soft rock/"Yacht Rock" act Firefall did their own version just a year ago. That song is the second link above. Just as the other varied artists, songs, and genres have been intriguing, it will be interesting to see what the guys think of this 1970s hit. The one thing we do know is that the next song could come from any artist, any genre, and just about any era! 😁

Take The Highway is a song you should consider checking out. Thanks guys. ☮🖤🤘🎹🎸🥁🎤

Fly Like An Eagle....Fire On The Mountain...Ramblin'...Take The Highway...Never Trust a Stranger...Walkin' and Talkin'....oh, the well is deep with these guys.

Man if you guys can hit their best song…24hrs at a time
