In my opinion one of the most important yet underrated southern bands of that time, desert skies will always be a classic for me.
I agree. MTB deserves more credit for their music! Never disappoints
No doubt about it
I believe they are in the top 5 Southern rock bands of the last century, so I don''t see how they are underrated?
Incredible stuff.
I want to be buried with chaps on, and I don’t even have any.
I live by the lyrics of this song, I wont ever get tired of this song
Saw them last night for the second time. The crowd started hollering Desert Skies....Doug said "man, I haven't sang that in 20 years". They did it, a little slower, and little jazzier, but awesome. I took my 75 year old mom. That was just what she wanted to hear. Epic night!
@@lisaadams7809 thats awesome! they're playing hard rock here in south fl, i'm hoping I get to see them
Lived in Arizona almost all my days.Im 69 and this tune fits me to a T
I always loved this song!!!! I was there! "The simple things in life" - Kids could pay $4.50 to see Charlie Daniels, Marshall Tucker & Lynyrd Skynyrd. This show was epic; it was by all means a "Skynyrd Concert"....Flower in the air, bodies dropping here and there. I'd had the pleasure of hanging out previously with the Tucker boys - Toy, Tommy -and George. Class acts, good people. Ronnie Eckerman was my next-door neighbor - Our Mothers were beauty queens at UH. If my recollection serves me, Ed King had already left a couple of months earlier, leaving Gary and Allen to do double-duty. Charlie Daniels came out and played on Freebird to end Skynyrd's set and the show that night. Got invited to Toy's Pig Pull at his place that following year in Spartanburg. I will never forget this show - maintaining decorum, I have some memories about this show that will remain untold.......Honestly - I think this was the 2nd best part I ever attended. The best, being Austin, TX, April 7, 1975 - CDB opened, Tucker followed. Ate dinner after the show at Threadgil's. Later that morning (2am) got to hang out with Willie Nelson and Evil Knievel at the Sheraton on town lake. Burned flowers with Willie. Ronnie VZ loved Evil.....The love wasn't reciprocated. Evil wasn't there to see the band - He was on tour & we just happened to bump into him there - at 2am the whole hotel was jumping and we woke him up......Did get to see his bikes on the trailer once he calmed down. The whole experience of those 2 shows alone changed my life. Good night Tucker fans.
A little jazzy,big band & country as only MTB can do it,love it,why the Southern Rock era was so frick'n cool.
David Swart So true they were so multi dimensional I don't know if anything like that would fly these days or not.
MARSHALL TUCKER BAND WERE AT A CONCERT IN CHARLESTON,S.C.SEVERAL YEARS AGO WITH ZAC BROWN,.ARE THERE ANY VIDEO"S OF THAT CONCERT ON ANYTHING? I WATCHED IT ON T.V.AND NEVER COULD FIND OUT IF ANY COMPANY"S HAVE COPIES.LOL THANKS
Brenda Watkins yar
VeryWell Put!!!,!, ManyThanx!!!
Watched an entire show, ‘77 Dallas, through binoculars. Toy was amazing, no pick, all thumb. What a sound.
This recording is a diamond in the rough. Come back to it every week.
My dear brother M beans here I completely agree with you 150% of the greatest bands I have ever had the pleasure to see back in the 70s they were great thank you my brother
Me too. I met Toy once, after Tommy died. I simply love this song, reminds me of my lost loved ones
I do too. I still have my ticket from this concert. So unreal to be able to relive it anytime.
This song is another reason why I like living in the desert.
Lord yes ....what a incredible song from one of my all time favorite bands ... love it
Best Southern Rock band ever
Yes
Grew up about 15 miles down the road from these guys, sure do miss the 70's , may they all be playing on streets of gold

Carolina Dreams, country rock with horns, hot damn, what a Great lp
MTB was my dads favorite band. He’s been gone almost 30 years. So on occasions related to him, especially the day he passed, I always listen to Desert Skies.
It's amazing, Toy Caldwell plays that lead guitar with his thumb!!!
They put soooooo much music into one song!!!
I was there for this great performance. fantastic!!!
Love this song. So much swing and feeling. One of my favorite MTB songs!
MTB with one of their many great classics! Lovin me some MTB.. Toy Caldwell
Toy has always been one of my fav guitarists. Saw them in 1974 at the Capitol Theatre in NJ with Charlie Daniels opening. Charlie joined for 24 hrs at a time…one of the top 1 or 2 concerts I ever saw!
The Ol Desert Sky Beautiful the Song Thank you Southern Boys Love it 🖤💙
Una de las mejores bandas de siempre.
The picture on this song made me say to myself, now that's the real Toy .... What a experience for me... 👍🎶❤️
Such a soothing song.
What a voice! What a band!
Way ahead of their time.
Only one blackeye for me, 3rd time I saw them in 1978 at the Lansing Michigan Civic Center. They played 3 songs and stopped the show. Said the flu had struck the band. They said they would come back, never did, and never got refunded. But I still loved them anyway.

Damn those boys had some gorgeous hats I got a find me one of those man what a great band we love them so much Marshall Tucker was brilliant and we do miss THEM , here in Costa Mesa California thank you guys so much for this upload we love you
I want this to be the song for my unfuneral, burn me and let the sand blow with me in me in the wind
I told my missus this a couple of years ago.
This was one of my other halfs wishes, that's what we did, at his favorite fishing place
@@Care960 Awww.😢
@@roberttippett3733 Thank you, it's been 13 years since he's been gone. I was 16 he was 21 in the US MARINES on his way to Vietnam when we met. He came back and actually tracked me down after 2 years, from one town to the next.
Hard to explain. Thank you
Then Toy being in Vietnam and their songs, MTB was our favorite.
The pedal steel guitar work on the album made me buy this record way back in the 70's. I was hoping it would be heard in this live version.
Great song
Great performance!! That sax solo is amazing!!! A big fan from argentina!
Love them, got to see them live in early 2000’s, they still this good
Desert skies just is a song of a summer breeze in the howling wind
miss you guys! toy you was da man!
One of my favs saw them in the 70s in Utica NY
DAMN that sounds good!!!
Sacramento Memorial Auditorium with my pal Taffy. Magic.
F#m7 slide to E. Genius.
E slide to Am7. Genius.
A to E to G#7 to B7 to E. Perfection.
Pacing, tempo, compact impact.
Thank you, gentlemen. You did good.
any chance you know what he's doing in the solo / the part where the sax and the guitar harmonize? it sounds a bit like dorian but can't quite tell.
just doesn't get any better
for my boys and you thank you
love this song- relaxing
This may be the only live version of this song with that lineup I have heard.
These guys were as good as the Eagles
Good analogy... They were at least as good as The Eagles!
The Eagles wished they were as good as MTB!
Paulvon128 The Eagles were a pale imitation of what MTB presented.
Amen to that! Totally agree!
better than the Eagles
SO MISSED NEVER FORGOTTEN 😢✌💙
Well, I'm riden here in 2023, so I can listen to the wind blow and the sand over my trail, so I can watch the moon a hiden' in the Arizona sky............. Never will be replaced Toy Caldwell
This Old Cowboy was one of my favorite song by MTB
All time classic
Mighty fine 👍
it is a little Jazzie for country music...but wtf...i like it
jazzabilly
That's what Southern rock is. R&B,Jazz, country,blues and rock. Gregg Allman coined the phrase Southern Rock.
Toys style is so fascinating
Once again, can whomever posted this please change the date? Tommy Caldwell (Died April28, 1980) is not on bass, it's Franklin Wilkie. So...hello...
your right my friend! but those vids with Toy and Tommy are priceless! seen them many times together at the warehouse in NOLA
OMG Brilliant!!!,! ManyThanx Damn I Love Toys Hat!,,,,,! So VeryCOOL,,!,!,!? ManyThanx From Costa Mesa Ca!!!,!,
Gawd, I was so young, heard this song, was incredibly hung-over, from a night of being young, this song playing on quiet radio in bathroom. Made me smile, an hunker even harder into my bed... headache an all, fu-- never forgot it. Numbskull, married my x, cause she had this album. Still best good feeling song I ever heard, thank you, MTB made my younger years more palatable. Thanks Brucey B👍😃😃
@@brucebutler4161Right On Bruce B. Sir!🤪😆👍👍🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
He’ll Ya Boys!! Been There Done THAT ALL!!😜👍👍👍👍👍🤪😆
My favorite MTB song
Sky my shine
This is a great song, but the studio recorded version is so much better. I can't seem to find it. Can anybody out there up load it. It is so much better!
Charles Sparks look up Ltrainxpress...
Skies !!!
Well, this isn't 1975 considering this wasn't released until 77 on Carolina Dreams
They were playing and recording Carolina Dreams at this time.
Damn they were so smooth and have loved their music since the first time I heard em way back. Man, Toy was such an amazing guitarist and is one of my all time favorites. As far as greats, l respect the talents of Clapton, Hendrix Page and Blackmore etc, but my choice for top axmen are Caldwell & Paul Kossof of the band Free. I know everyone always picks the usual lineup and not many even know about Paul and Toy. Let alone choose them for top guitarist lists, but between them there isn't anyone that could outperform them and were the two greatest as far as I'm concerned. Sadly, they are both gone and really sucks that we will never be able to see them damnit
I havent listened to much Free but i can definitely agree with you on Toy. Hes top favorite for me
TOUCHE..this music is just so FABULOUS..R.I.P.the beautiful souls of M.T.B.
The WEST! The COWBOY and the DESERT! By the MTB, WESTERN ROCK gets no better, get bk to New Mexico!

Toy Caldwell giving it hell.
we gave money to a classmate, to skip school and get tickets to this concert in Houston at catus records but he got busted leaving school
this is after Tommy? Wilkie on bass? Not 1975. More like 1980ish
Your right Tommy was killed in 1980...right
Tommy was a sweetheart. I loved the way he'd look at Toy with such love/admiration for big brother and smiles. Their youngest brother dies in an auto accident and a few weeks later Tommy does too. Toy never the same.
@@debrawardlaw4558 thanks for those memories. I was too young to have seen the original MTB. I have always wondered how that must’ve tore the Caldwell and Tucker families apart. So sad
Not 1975. Where's Tommy? Looks like Franklin on bass. Tommy always was next to Toy. George next to Tommy. So this must be after 1980. Still a great vid of a great song. RIP Toy. Tommy and George and piano tuner Marshall Tucker who made it to 90!
It is Franklin on bass. George is standing next to Toy.
Agreed. I was on the stage with the original band at CW Post Dome on Long Island in the mid 70's When Tommy played his bass, the whole stage was shaking. After the show we helped the roadies break down the gear and drank buds from an iced garbage pail. Got to meet Paul T Riddle. Great guy. Best times!.@@debrawardlaw4558
Can't be '75,Toy wasn't playing his gibson,plus George and the rest of the band were fairly hirsuit by '77 at least
Rob Haunui Carolina dreams came out in 1977
Singin' the same old cowboy song,lol
Die Live-Aufnahmen sind schlecht, berühren aber meine Seele. Die Studioaufnahmen sind dagegen langweilig
van mmorsn sheett as topl honey
Horrible video, ya even see it
this sucks
+BAINOT Zangcala oh go listen to Justin Beiber and use the ladies room
SUCH dis"respect FOR the best band every SOUTHERN GUYS AND GALS LOVE.
RUDE AND HAVE A MOUSHO GREAT DAY. KEMO SABIE.
