Molly Hatchet - Fall of the Peacemaker (Live)

[@thebluesrockers]

"Fall Of The Peacemakers" A king without a sword A land without a king A truth without a voice One song left to sing One song to sing A wise man told me there's something you should know The way you judge a man is to look into his soul And you'll soon see everything. A voice from the past cried "Give peace a chance" He paid our price now he's free at last Imagine, we called him a dreamer! How many times must good men die? How many tears will the children cry? 'Til they suffer no more sadness Stop the madness, Oh, stop the madness. If ashes are ashes and dust is dust At our journey's end then return we must To the sands of the shore White doves in flight Peace to all But tell me why the peacemakers fall Must we bury anymore? The hush of the crowd as the horse rode by A black lace veil hid the tears from her eyes And we all wept in silence How many times must good men die? How many times will the children cry? 'Til they suffer no more sadness Oh, stop the madness Oh, stop all the madness.

My first concert, 1978 Molly opened for AC/DC who opened for KISS. The Capital Centre in MD. Molly barely had 30 minutes on stage and I knew nothing of them at that time. I was there for KISS. When I left I became an AC/DC fan but MH was other level Guitar force for me. I got a serious lesson at age 14 about real Southern Rock.

I saw Dave 20 (+/-) years ago touring with the Dixie All-Stars. He could have learned a lot from Jackson Spires (ex Blackfoot drummer) about how to treat your fans. Jackson was very welcoming after the show. Dave, on the other hand..not so much. I get it...I'm sure he is swarmed with fans after every show however, if it weren't for the fans buying the music, Dave wouldn't have been where he was. I asked him to sign a Molly Hatchet CD that I had brought to the show. He refused to sign it unless I bought one of their $30 t-shirts. I bought a shirt and every one of the band members signed it other than Hlubeck. Jackson even gave me a signed drum stick, and a leather, native American, wrist strap that he made and sold after their shows.
