The Marshall Tucker Band - New Year's In New Orleans - Roll Up '78 And Light '79 [2LP]

Get ready for a night to remember: this double‑LP captures one of the band’s most electric live performances, recorded on December 31, 1978 at the famed venue in New Orleans. The Marshall Tucker Band was riding high, and this set shows them at full throttle — country, blues, rock and jazz all flowing together in extended jams, heartfelt solos and that unmistakable southern groove.

The album features live versions of fan favourites like “Heard It in a Love Song,” “Can’t You See,” “24 Hours at a Time,” and “Fly Like an Eagle,” each pulled into live form with extra fire and improvisation. The New Year’s countdown into “Auld Lang Syne” is a memorable touch that places you in the crowd, midnight vibe and all.

What makes this recording extra special: the original 24‑track tapes were used for the remaster, capturing the band’s original line‑up in superb quality and preserving the spontaneity of the moment. The gates fold open, the amps roar, and the sax, flute and guitar intertwine like only they could.

This 2‑LP edition is ideal for vinyl lovers who appreciate a live show that stretches beyond studio constraints. It’s raw, vibrant, and feels like being there on stage. Whether you’re a devoted track fan or just discovering the band’s live power, this pressing is a gem in your collection.

In short: a live album that doesn’t just document a show—it brings it alive. The Marshall Tucker Band doesn’t just play songs here; they invite you into the party.
