Synopsis

Album Description

Finally a live album that captures the incredible power behind these kings of southern rock, recorded in Atlanta's Agora ballroom in 1979 and featuring 12 unforgettable moments in the life of Danny Joe Brown's sextet. Just like musical heroes Lynyrd Skynyrd, MH uses three guitars to create a pulsatingly virile sound. Featuring hits "Bounty Hunter," "Gator Country," "Let The Good Times Roll," and versions of classics like "Crossroads" by Robert Johnson, "T for Texas" by Jimmy Rodgers, and "Dream You'll Never See" by the Allman Brothers, and of course, the mind-blowing "Harp Jam." They just don't make blues rock like this anymore! The Akarma reissue on LP is long out-of-print, so don't miss the CD!

CD Reviews

Classic Hatchet in their prime!

Baberufus | West Jordan, UT USA | 07/19/2007

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Molly Hatchet has had many personnel changes over the years, and I'm glad some form of them is still around to carry on the tradition, but this recording features the classic lineup from the late seventies. Great performance! The quality of the sound and mixing is somewhat lacking, but in 1979 recording standards for live concerts weren't at the level nowadays. Still though, it is annoying that for the first song or two you can barely hear Danny Joe and only one (out of three) guitar seems to be audible. Things get better as the CD goes on with the vocal and guitar levels, but the drums pretty much sound distant all the way through. Could have been better, even back then.

But this is, apparently, the only documentation of the original Hatchet live in concert, so if you're a Hatchet fan you still need this CD!! The energy and performance quality of the band overcompensates for the technical flaws of the recording."

A Piece of History

"From tape of a live concert that was simulcast/broadcast over the radio. Yes, it's not studio quality, but they quickly get it dialed in and the boys ROCK!. From the early days when they were just making it big. Don't let the fact that it isn't a study quality recording deter you from getting your hands on this piece of Rock and Roll history. It rocks! In my book, it is a must have for any Hatchet fan...Great memories! The next best thing to being there!"
