 BLAZING THUMBS...Dec 14, 2007
By Jim Jocko
"Musician and avid listener"
First off, some critics will say the video was not super bright and clear on the DVD. Well, to me, it looks darn good for a 30 year old tape. The sound quality was plenty fine(the surround sound mode has a nice EQ that the stereo mode lacks)(I dont have surround). Being a huge Tucker fan, seeing Toy and Tommy leading this band on lots of hits brought back many memories. After the viewing, my friend and I noticed that "24 Hours At A Time" hadn't played? I hit the "bonus" section, and found that song listed as "re-constucted". It seems that the 30 year old tape had problems in that part of the concert. We pressed play and were treated to a 2 minute slide show while a lower sound quality song played in the background...but it went directly into the actual concert video. The remaining 3/4 of the song(the best part) cooked. My friend and I both declared that this Marshall Tucker DVD was the treat of a lifetime. If you're a fan, its a MUST OWN. If you came in late in their career, dont worry about it. Watching Toy and his brother Tommy, side by side, playing the strings of their instruments with their thumbs is beyond cool!

 Four out of Five ain't badJan 22, 2008
By Thomas W. Earl
If you are a die hard Marshall Tucker fan like myself you will love this CD/DVD combo. I had to pick it up because 1977 was the year I graduated High School and Tucker was a huge part of my life then. It does need to be said that the quality of this package is that of 1977 not 2007. I'm sure it could have been restored better but it would have taken a lot longer and cost so much more and for the price you will get a great performance by Marshall Tucker in a year that many say they were at their peak. If any of you grew up through that time period and understood what true bootlegs were, this will seem stellar. I give it four stars only because of audio/visual quality.
However, that being said, I have no regrets slapping down my money for this one. I got a chill watching it for the first time much like I did back in the day when the band hit the stage. Seeing Tommy and Toy, along with Doug, George and Jerry and Paul together is such a treat. The performance is top notch covering their classics and the most recent material of the time. Watching Toy and Tommy feed off each other and knowing that they always gave their all along with the rest of the band makes this a must have. If you are introducing someone to the band this is a great place to start. I highly recommend this combo and want to thank Doug Gray and company for putting this out. I know that there are many Tucker shows on tape sitting around and if we buy them, I'm sure they will continue putting them out. Performance wise, I give this a FIVE!! Tom Earl

Review of the audio quality of the CDs.Mar 27, 2011
By R. Long
"JaminRebel"
Simply put, the audio of this set is just fine, considering the age of the recording, and considering that the
live set was not previously offerred up as a LIVE recording for the band. I trade live recordings online and I
have at least FORTY live shows by the Marshall Tucker Band. This is a GOOD recording. That being said I have
some recordings that are of HIGHER audio quality. A selling point of this set is that ONE, it is from 1977, the
"Carolina Dreams" tour. SECOND, from what I have seen, this recording was not already AVAILABLE for trading in
trading circles. And a thing about trading LIVE UNRELEASED recordings. A trader NEVER sells ANY recording, nor does a trader TRADE ANY COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE recording. So the CAROLINA DREAMS TOUR 77 two cd set and DVD were all NEW to this trader of recordings. :) :)
Carolina Dreams Tour '77
Disc One
Fly Like an Eagle
Long Hard Ride
Searchin' For a Rainbow
I Should Have Never Started Lovin' You
Heard It In A Love Song
Fire On The Mountain
In My Own Way
Disc Two
Never Trust A Stranger----- RARE LIVE VERSION OF THIS SONG!!!!!
24 Hours At A Time
Ramblin'
Can't You See
This Ol' Cowboy
Will The Circle Be Unbroken
I give the recording an A for quality. It is NOT, however, an A+ recording. I have better recordings. That being said, I also have many LESSER quality LIVE MTB recordings. The real treat for fans of this
band must be found in the VIDEO footage of the ENTIRE show that is on the DVD. Of the recording.
Update: I have now heard this entire show about five times. Mostly I play disc one because it has more songs and the second disc is more of an encoure disc. It's a real treat to hear the band introducing "Heard It In a Love Song" and "Fire On The Mountain" as NEW songs. "I Never Should Have Started Loving You" is particularilly sweet and tender. Also, "In My Own Way" is yet another fine love song. And the show closes with the only LIVE version of "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" that has ever been released commercially. The band played this song more back in the early days, say 1974. Nice to have the band playing it again in 1977. To close, I think that if you find more fault or error or flaw with this two cd set of music, which also offers a dvd, then you should reconsider your fan perspective. This is the Marshall Tucker Band in their heyday, at the very top of their game. If you can't find the excellence of this package then the fault is more yours than the people who brought this package to you. In short this three disc package is a REAL TREAT.
Update: I added a star making this a FIVE STAR appraisal. I added the star because this set is simply getting pooped on my too many so called music fans. Shame on you.

 Great band, poor audio quality.Mar 21, 2008
By Scott
I am a Marshall Tucker Band fan. I bought most of their albums when they were introduced and have purchased much duplicate music on CD's in recent years. I gave this concert disk set 2 stars because of the poor audio quality. Unfortunately the audio quality of the Carolina Dreams Tour '77 disk set is significantly less than that of the audio CD's containing the band's studio recordings from that era. I own a nice audio system and I appreciate good quality sound. If you have a similar opinion regarding audio quality, you will be disappointed with the disk set.

Carolina Dreams Tour '77Mar 15, 2008
By howard devrieze
Very poor video reproduction. Too dark, even grainy. Music pretty fair except for "24 Hours at a Time", which has no live footage, just a slide show. A much better DVD for my money is MTV's production "Live from the Garden State" recorded in New Jersey in 1980.
