Summary: Priceless Documentation of the Original MTB !
Review: I've often wondered what had happened to this film. I was fortunate enough to see it back when MTV aired it and it caught the true vitality and fire of Southern Rock at it's zenith. Nothing against the "present" version of MTB, but when the original members (minus Tommy Caldwell, God rest his soul) kicked it into high gear, there was not a band in the world who could touch them. With the later passing of guitarist Toy Caldwell, an era ended.
Get this DVD...throw it in the player...and maybe you'll understand why Southern Rock still lives today. You won't be sorry !!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent DVD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Hey Guys! I just heard about a live DVD that The Marshall Tucker band is releasing on November 2. I am so pumped for it, so I'm sure you guys are too. The DVD is called "Live from The Garden State 1981", and it is the only live footage of the band that has been released. It is going to be so awesome, so if you love the band as much as I do you won't want to miss it.

Summary: Whoa, take me back in time
Review: I could only give this 4 stars due to the some of the sound quality. In a number of places Doug Gray's voice tends to fade. Not so much for his backing away from the mike, but some technical difficulties that rose it's ugly head occasionally. Don't get me wrong. Doug's voice is in fine form and it shines %99.9 in this concert. If your familiar with Marshall Tucker, you'll know they are not visually entertaining. I mean their music is what entertains the crowd. The band just plays it well. I've seen Marshall Tucker many times when they were climbing up to their zenith. And this concert is captures them perfectly. With as many times as I have seen them I never knew Toy played lead with his thumb, but then again I was never this close.

And as for the selection of songs, I couldn't be happier. I love the "Dedicated" Album. There is not one song on here I would have removed. While I have had the live version of "Ramblin" engrained in my brain, yea, I would have liked to see the bass solo here. Still no complaints.

Video wise... Hey, it's 1981. Were probably lucky they caught it on film. So it does have a somewhat dated look. Some of editing has a little to be desired. Some camera movement too, but these are real nitpicky arguements (Nothing like the horrid first Lynyrd Skynrd concert mess). The concert is focus's on the band, as it should and not a lot of audience images.

If your a Tucker fan, you most likely will enjoy the hell out of this concert. Pick it up, sit back and enjoy the
