Double Trouble Live

I'm really glad they captured this live album in 1985. To me, this was the last good thing they recorded. Most of the songs are off the first 2 albums, and rightfully so, because that was their best stuff. After this album, it was all downhill, and to me the band was dead after this. In fact I think they knew it. Epic recording knew it and dropped them. They didn't put out a new album until 1989 with lightning strikes twice - and boy did it not strike twice. Since then it just got worse and worse as nearly all the original members left and eventually died off. The magic of DJB plus Dave Hlubek, Steve Holland, and Duane Roland was gone by 1985, never to return again. I think Holland was gone by the time they recorded this, and had been replaced by keyboardist J. Galvin. But it's still a great album reflecting a live rendition of much of their best material.

When this album came out on tape it had two more songs, "Walk with you" and "Walk on the side of the angels". (I was told) that when the album was put on cd that there wasn't enough room on the cd for the whole album so two songs were omitted. It would be nice if the songs would come back and not disappear in to the void. Let's make it happen!!! <3

Hey DFF19, yup, yur a nit! The original version of the song "Dreams I'll Never See" was released on the first Allman Brothers Band album. That being cleared up, Molly Hatchet's version is better! This whole album rocks solid! Great driving music, cruising the coast highway or thru the desert, top down on the 'stang, it dont get no better! Its good to be alive!

OK, first of all, this is a great live album of Southern Rock! It's up there with Skynyrd's One More From The Road! MH just isn't MH without Danny Joe Brown, and on this outing, Danny is back with a vengeance! Stone In Your Heart and Satisified Man sound dated with the synths and all, but this recording does date back to 1985, when that sound was very much in vogue on Top 40 radio. So given that perspective, even those songs kick major booty! Highlights are MH's version of Freebird (Danny prefaces the song with a respective tribute to Ronnie Van Zant), and Boogie No More...man, Duane and Dave are just ON FIRE on the outro leads on both those two! Southern guitar rock and roll at its finest!! The only complaint I have is the wimpy sound on a lot of the tracks...not enough bass...not enough "oomph". Perhaps the original LP sounds better, but this album REALLY needs to be remixed and/or remastered and reissued...it deserves that...WE deserve that!! :-) Now, about "Dreams"...sure, MH made that song "their own" back on their first album. A GREAT version, no doubt. HOWEVER...any true Allman Bros. fan knows that Gregg Allman wrote that song, and it appears on the first Allman Brothers album. Just wanted to clear that up!

Molly Hatchet is on of the great bands to come out of the 70's. I saw them many times in concert. Anything new or rare with Danny Joe Brown singing is and would be a real special thing. I noticed that this live album is missing a couple tracks..."Walk on the side of the Angels", and "Walk with you." With DJB no longer with us those songs mean even more now to a fan than ever. Would love to have them included itunes...thanks!

God Bless Danny Joe Brown, RIP! Dickie Betts and the boys of Skynyrd could never play guitar like Molly Hatchet.

I just saw "Molly Hatchet" 3/2009 at the local Ribfest. Great music is great music, and live is even better with a band like Hatchet - but no original guys in the band anymore, and that made it a good cover band playing GREAT music (including "Free Bird"). A few days later, I played DOUBLE-TROUBLE LIVE, and the smile on my face couldn't have been bigger! The original Molly Hatchet caught live was incredible (if you ever got to see them), hearing them live on this CD is the best thing to being there. 3-roaring lead guitars and DJB dishin' out killer vocals. Crank it up - there's only one MOLLY HATCHET. Enjoy!

All these years later and this album is still a "live" work of art. The only song on this album that doesn't get it going is "Stone in Your Heart". From the opening of "Whiskey Man" to DJB's more likable rendition of "Beatin the Odds" this album is the perfect live album to just rock out to. Makes me wish I was able to see these guys live in their heyday. Hlubek, Roland and Danny Joe Brown along with the rest of the band make it clear that they laid it all on the line on stage. Just a terrific effort from a band that should be a heck of a lot more famous then they are.

Molly Hatchet rocks. As good or better than Skynyrd. Danny Joe Brown's voice is perfect for this southern rock masterpiece.Gator Country,Flirtin With Disaster & Whiskey Man are my Favorites. Sadly Danny is no longer with us.....But his music lives on. Try Danny solo Album. It rocks too !!! Long Live 70's Rock

Some of the best Guitar work you will hear! Their version of Freebird is scary good.
