A guest 20% at Desert Diamond Casino, Sahuarita on Sat, 27 Sep 2025
No original band members. Lead guitar has a good singing voice, lacks in playing southern rock - more of an over indulgent hard rock player with an out of tune instrument. Not sure where bass guitar player was dragged in from, rather creepy stage presence and plucked out 3 notes all night. Rest of band was good.
Left 40 minutes into concert. Sound system seemed to splatter. No cohesive feel to band. Slow down guys. It's about the southern rock sound and drawing in the fans.

Islesfan was there 100% at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park, Englishtown on Sat, 03 Sep 1977
Here is a link to some pics from that day to put my story in more perspective. I do not own these and none of these are me or the group of friends I was with. Just wanted to share them here to anyone else who was at this epic show

This was my second concert ever.A very memorable one at that. MTB was also my first back in June of 77. So seeing them again in this festival type setting was amazing. They were much looser and they extended several songs with Toy Caldwell's lead guitar jams.
By the time they hit the stage the heat of day was in full force. It was very humid after the early morning thunderstorms had passed through. The crowd of over 100,000 (estimated) were all looking for water or anything to quench their thirst. Since this was an outdoor show on an abandoned raceway. There was no concessions to go get anything. The promoters set up water hoses were people could go full up there juggs or bottles with water. Problem was. That area was a sea of mudI You had to wade through knee deep mud to get over to the water stations. It was something this then 15 year old concert goer still remembers. Even as high as I was that day.
But Tucker were phenomenal this day. Playing hit after hit to a very supportive and enthusiastic crowd. They Rocked!
Only a portion of their show was broadcast on NY radio station WNEW 102.7. The setlist is made up of what is on that bootleg recording of the broadcast. I remember (or not) them playing much longer. But who knows. Either way it was great.
Here's a link to their setlist
