The Marshall Tucker Band Live in Concert
The '70s were a golden age for pop-rock music, and The Marshall Tucker Band led the charge as a new wave of Southern rock bands began to emerge. In 1972, guitarist Toy Caldwell and rhythm guitarist George McCorkle formed the six-piece in South Carolina and named the band after a blind piano tuner whose name they found inscribed on their rehearsal space key. The original lineup consisted of Caldwell, his brother Tommy Caldwell on bass, McCorkle, vocalist Doug Gray, Jerry Eubanks on flute and tenor sax, and Paul Riddle on drums. The group initially gained recognition on tour with The Allman Brothers Band and found continued success thanks to their classic Southern melodies that were perfect for radio. The group's self-titled debut album was released in March 1973 and included the hit single "Can't You See," peaking at No. 17 on the Billboard 200 chart. The Marshall Tucker Band took a brief break in 1980 after the death of bassist Tommy Caldwell, but the band was revived with a new lineup and began touring again in 1983. The group mostly stuck to their musical roots, but they did take some brief detours to explore other genres with 1998's all-blues album Face Down in the Blues and the 1999 spiritual album Gospel. Overall, The Marshall Tucker Band have released over 20 studio albums and dozens of live releases, which have collectively gone multi-platinum many times. The band remains active to this day, touring throughout the United States and celebrate their 50th anniversary on tour in 2022.
This was such a phenomenal concert. Not only did they play our favorites but a added surprise was when Jefferson Starship came on stage and sang with them. Truly one of the best concerts we have been to in a very long time
First off Jefferson Starship rocked! They put on a high energy rocking show. We are Marshall Tucker fan and have seen them numerous times, and loved them. After Doug Grey bragging about being a super hard working band, he did less vocals and had more long guitar solos and songs I had not heard by his band. The organ/ flute/saxophone player was amazing with both playing and high energy vocals. The guitarists were very talented and the drummer was most Excellent Doug, it’s time to retire on your fantastic career. There’s a lot to being said for going out on top…….too late.
I preferred to hear all MTB hits and music. The instrumental solo performances did not fit. Doug Gray was on his game!
Both groups singers have lost their ability to be able to hit the notes that they need to. Both groups had fantastic musicians and two of them from Marshal Tucker could have done all of the singing. That would have greatly improved the quality of the music. The lead singer is great at telling stories. He should do that and leave the singing to the keyboard/woodwind player and lead guitarist. The venue is not a good place for a concert. The experience was way too expensive for the quality of the event and venue.
The music was great. The venue staff were helpful, the venue it’s self should be sloped and stage higher for better viewing
They didn't perform to their best ability. Not popular songs. Jefferson starship was excellent!!
Love the bands but I will NEVER go to another concert inside the Nugget Casino Grand Ballroom in Sparks, NV again. #1 - The sound was horrible where you could not understand the words, even though I know the words. #2 - We had people constantly walking in front of us, blocking our view, as they go to and from buying drinks. #3 - The employees were chit-chatting with guests for 10-30 minutes so loud they were interrupting the concert we PAID to see.
Starship was Awesome as well as Marshall Tucker. When I bought tics for this concert I thought I was going to see Mickey Thomas Starship, but it was the Other Starship? 2 Starships?
Hard rock casino was a great easy venue. All around. I didn't care for the casino though. Jefferson Starship hit it out of the park! I was so pleasantly surprised!! My favorite Marshall tucker band was great music. But they didn't play all the favorites and seemed like less singing. I actually expected more than I got. But love the band. It maybe time to just enjoy my cd. All in all we had a great time!
The Starship was a little disappointing, but The Marshall Tucker Band was awesome. Doug Gray, the original member was still pretty good, but he choose to take a back seat to the Flute, Sax, Keyboard (Marcus Hendrickson?) who really shined with all his instruments and had a very strong voice as well. The lead guitar player was really great as well with his licks and voice. I would definitely see them again.
This is a band with over 20 albums and great history and they still have all the talent they had in their prime. Lead singer was great and told a lot of great stories. There was a guitarist who also sang and that guy is a first class Rocker ! Drummer was solid and played an excellent solo. The band member who played keyboard, flute and saxophone was excellent all night.
Songs from both groups brought my memory back to the 70’s. However, seated in 102 U. The guy seated in front of me kept his big hat on. I had to lean left or right to see stage. So most of concert was tv screens.
I myself grew up in the 70s so I heard a lot of rock band but born in 1961 so I didn't hear a lot of Jefferson Airplane even though they split in 1972 but reformed as Jefferson Starship in 1974 saying that I liked their music. And Marchall Tucker yes, I listened to their music back in the day but didn't keep up as much saying that I did enjoy their music.
The music was good but not the singing by Marshall. Not enough singing but plenty of instrumentals. Casino band was much better. Disappointing
I booked 6 tickets for me and my 2 brothers and wives in what I thought by the map of seating were OUTSTANDING seats! Second tier right on the edge of the balcony. Awesome on paper the big screen was right in our line of sight. We could see the back half of the drummer and every once in while the keyboard/flutist. Very POOR arrangement of seating and stage gear! Sorry the sound was amazing and the groups were awesome to hear but I know all y’all know you like to see what’s happening on stage.
The tickets were cheap enough, so I guess I shouldn’t have expected too much from the venue. The acoustic were bad which took away from the band. (For only having one original band member, they still rocked it).I was pleasantly surprised with the turn out giving this place a new life. Someone there has a great plan in place with lots of good shows coming up. Maybe if they would hire a sound company to add some strategic speakers, this place would rock.
My wife and I went to this show expecting that there could be issues due to the age of the singer. But the issues flowed to the band as well. Musically they weren't the best, I would say just ok. The singer felt it necessary to want to tell stories. We didn't go to listen to him talk. We went to hear him sing and that was mediocre at best.
I was surprised no one introduced the bands . The bands were just therewhen they turned on the lights. Jefferson Starship was great. The musicians for Marshall Tucker were very good, however they need a replacement for the lead singer. He has no voice left. They have become a jam band as they stretched out each song by about 10 minutes. They sang very few oldies in their 1.5 hours and those weren't done very well IMHO. Maybe I put some unfair expectations on them but people come to hear some of the oldies. I understand they have 24 albums so hard to get in many oldies but they seemed to only play 8-9 songs in that 1.5 hours as they kept stretching out each song with improvisational solos by the band members. The musicians were very good but was expecting something different, especially the vocals of the lead singer. He needs to step down . Jefferson Starship was the star of the show. They should've been the headliner.
The sound was horrible straight back from the stage. The instrumental took over the voices and they were distorted.
The bands were so loud, venue had terrible acoustics. Had to leave many times during concert, finally left early.
