Those of us 60+ lived through the greatest music and band era that will never be witnessed again.

[@madmax8949]

You got that right!! You can take any genre of music and the best of that genre came out of the 70s!

[@18winsagin]

@madmax8949 Excellent point 👉 It's like the 70s are the grandparents of today's music, been there, done that, and bought the tee-shirt!

[@madmax8949]

@@18winsagin Right on! In fact, I got a t-shirt for Christmas that says, "I may be old but I got to see all the cool bands!"

[@18winsagin]

@madmax8949 haha that is cool, I would like that. I only made a couple of rock concerts, Molly Hatchet at the Hampton Coliseum in about in 82 or 83 maybe and then zz top at the same place in maybe 93 and then Marshall Tucker once but man life for me then was a happier time and I think that is why I stay on KZbin a lot when not at work listening to the music from that time and it takes me back there for a while!

[@madmax8949]

@@18winsagin The wife and I and several friends still go to a ton of shows around where we live and we do travel to see shows in the state. Going to Red Rocks this summer to see Big Head Todd with the Wallflowers. We live in a secondary market area but still manage to see a lot of quality acts. You just have to be on the look out!

[@TheSeventyfour74]

One of the most underrated song (and band) in history...

[@yeahimatrollandiluvit8704]

And here we go with the usual underrated tune.. dumbass! That song is one of the most loved and popular southern rock song ever by a band that comes only second to Skynerd in terms of fame!

[@dannyfilichia9127]

If you get your Sound system, just write. You my be able to understand the words.

[@t.jmajeski2073]

You are so right about that. Saw them on the flirting with disaster tours Way back still love the hell out of the boys

[@georgefranklin5686]

Absolutely

[@tonyguinn566]

Hatchet was the best bar none. These guys could rock there ass off and bring down the house. They deserve to be in the hall.

[@michaelkennedy2190]

Hell yeah they do!!!

[@megalodonseancasey8429]

Who gives a damn about the hall ? The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame has no integrity...SCORPIONS are not in that stupid hall but Beastie Boys are, lol

[@beachhunting69]

@@megalodonseancasey8429 Unfortunately you are correct Meg. The Rock and Roll HOF is a mere shadow of itself. It took Deep Purple how many years to get it ? Kansas is still not in yet look at some of the 'rock' bands that are in. It's garbage at this point to me.

[@svorttsirhc1814]

F the hall , they deserve their own hall southern rock .

[@MrPnew1]

Yeah the hall is a fucking joke. We know who is great. FFS, Johnny Winter isn’t there either!!! Really?

[@roberthendrickson2939]

Those four guitars went to the power stance, that was rock history

[@roberthendrickson2939]

Three guitars and a bass you idiot. But it was epic.

[@mrz80]

Every time I hear this song I wonder how come this didn't wind up my generation's signature southern rock anthem instead of Freebird. Lyrically, thematically, melodically, it's a much more in-depth, intense song. :)

[@johnfurnis8709]

+PrepsterM Amen I have been saying that for years

[@EchoesDistant]

+mrz80 THIS. No disrespect to Skynyrd but MH were simply far more talented. IMO "Tuesday's Gone" and "The Ballad of Curtis Lowe " were LS's best songs. They were better at soul than they were rock. MH is just on another level in terms of talent. Much like Rush and everyone else. To answer your question, I think because this song conjures real emotions of sadness, while "Freebird" is, like, all about that freedom, man.

[@BigPapaPan]

+TheDistantEchos amen

[@rubicon-oh9km]

Keep smoking crack. MH can't hold a candle to Skynyrd in the writing department. I think any living member of MH would freely admit that.

[@nomadsofbendmusic2620]

Yeah, I see what you mean, but he was talking about Freebird, specifically. I agree on this count. But they are both amazing. Lol, it's a matter of: 'Which amazingness do I pick??' ;)

[@TubetakerBHV]

their 3 guitar attack is still unmatched! Thank you Molly Hatchet and R.I.P.

[@jasont5784]

Their 3 guitar attack is phenomenal but Iron Maiden matches and surpasses it…. JMHO

[@TubetakerBHV]

@@jasont5784 hard to compare and I see your point. But for me the original Molly Hatchet is still one of the best bands in history.

[@jasont5784]

They were amazing, I got to see them on this tour when they opened for Kiss in Kansas City!

[@TubetakerBHV]

@@jasont5784 Flirtin with desaster was my very first LP but I never saw them live. Just their new version who I call a bad cover band. 😢

[@user-qx5jh6vx9n]

I joined the Marine Corps right after the marine barracks bombing on 23 october 1983. I took test already for Army and Navy ànd switched to the Marines. I enlisted friday the 13th day of January 1984. Their was a firefight that morning at Beirut international airport. This song goes right to my hearth. Molly Hatchet, my all time favorite band, thanks for so much great music. Semper Fi. To all my brothers who got murdered in Beirut on that day. Army, Navy and Marines. It was the most one day number of deaths since Iwo Jima in world war 2 for the Marine Corps.

I met him at their show with Blackfoot in Dallas in 1983. I had already bought and put on a Blackfoot - SIOGO t-shirt and was walking around the merch area between sets. Dave, who looked about 6' 5" saw me and said, "You need to buy another shirt. Ours!" I just shook his hand and said, "Yes, sir."

[@user-jo3qh1xg8b]

One of the finest acts to EVER come out of the FSOF! We miss you SO VERY MUCH, guys.

[@brigittehunt2651]

This is why I love Southern Rock. This will never age... Stop the madness...

[@robertdownes4193]

Amen sister

[@dsen1889]

Its stunning what passes for music these days compared to this.

[@scottdewberry5074]

Molly hatchet just simply kicked ass! This is how rock is done kids !!

[@1RevMatt]

The 70s and 80s gave birth to SO MANY KILLER BANDS that I am still amazed! Southern Fried Rock, as some called it, gave rise to these talented maniacs, Blackfoot, Lynrd Skynrd, 38 special, Terrible Ted Nugent, and their 60s birthers like the Outlaws, Alman Brothers, etc ! I love this painful and angry music!

[@greekadmirer2204]

Love it .. What a great band …Rip all those who passed away …. The music lives on ..

[@madmax8949]

Sadly, the entire original lineup is deceased.

[@roknrolbilly]

danny joe brown forever!!!!

[@mmoonnchildd]

I remember seeing this live on tv late at night in '83 or '84. These guys were amazing. Danny Joe Brown had the perfect combo of gravel and melody in his voice. Love this tune. Thanks for upping!

[@brandyf1932]

Nicely elaborated. Thanks. BrandyF from West Texas.

[@richardharrington1082]

When I saw these guys DJB had come back to the group. RIP DJB. These guys were truly never the same without him. Fly with the angels DJB

[@jamiekirbitz586]

Djb is so badass. Man and his voice was so recognizable. We cover Dreams I'll never see. It's so fun to play. These guys in my opinion were the best of all the southern rockers of the time.

Saw them three times with the Outlaws. Amazing.

A masterpiece second to none ,!! As well , look at the instrumental come to the front of stage an give the crowd a show of real emotions an energy of performance real music by real band members , , hats off to them an all the other real bands out there what's left ,, ,,,today's music's bands are not real they hide behind other writers , hide behind computer made noise , an in videos you don't see a band or half the time the singer jus cartoon waste ,, my opinion matters , however my opinion doesn't depict all , , thank u , ,south Oklahoma that's were I am from,

[@georgefranklin5686]

I think I would rather have, if given the choice, gone to this concert rather than a Beatles or even a Rolling Stones concert

[@pyroman6000]

Love this song, and what a live rendition of it!! Duane Roland's solo always gets me. THAT is how you play a guitar, kids- and that is how it's supposed to sound.

[@knowmusicman157]

Love Duane

[@bassmanjoe8]

Saw them in 1979 at a local college nearby me. They absolutely tore the roof off the place with the original players and songs from the "Flirtin' w/Disaster" album. No opening act either...what a great night of music!

My favorite Molly Hatchet song - "Fall Of The Peacemakers." When I saw them Feb 5, 1984 - the day after my daughter Jamie was born, I bunch of my shipmates and co-workers saw them in concert. They dedicated this song to all the military in the crowd. I threw my USS America hat up on stage and the singer wore it!! Cool isn't it.

[@BeatPete]

where did you see them, i saw them in norfolk virginia about 1984 while i was in the Navy.

[@MeanJoeNSGA1]

I was a Cryptologic Technician stationed at Ft Meade, Md working at NSA. SO a few of my shipmates and civilian co-workers went to see them in Columbia, Md at a night club in Feb,1984.

My Dad was on the USS America in the 'Nam era- he told me about some crazy shit that went down on that boat...

[@bestplan123]

I saw these guy's in Atlantic Beach N.C. @ a small bar called Night Moves about three months before their first album came out in 1977. I am from the westside of Jacksonville and I used to catch them at the local bars before I joined the Marines and got stationed @ Cherry Point. It was quite a treat to have heard the first album just before the release. Dave still plays around town sometimes but he is slowing down. Bless them all, southern rock rules!
