Well Black Oak Arkansas was OK and now that Molly Hatchet is down to 1 guitar from 3 power lead guitars (1979)... the Outlaws were the main act. Every note was perfect!
Outlaws were fantastic! Was great to see them again live. Brought back memories of Pinecrest and New Haven Coliseum. Taking in to consideration they were big back in the early 70s, Black Oak Arkansas gets a pass. Did not know if we were seeing jim dandy or Wolfman Jack. wish Outlaws closed out the show, Molly Hatchet seemed to be having an off night, or maybe they are truly now just a Hatchett cover band... The place started clearing out after 2 or 3 songs. maybe they were just too loud, blame the sound guy, Lead singer did he really want to be there... can he sing? Sorry to pick on them, I saw them back in the 80s back in the day! Over all I have to say I was happy to hear live Southern Rock. I would have liked to seen Outlaws, Artimus Pyle band and Black smoke cherry or Marshall Tucker?
It's been 33 years since I saw Molly Hatcher Live (1983) and yes, I miss some of the ol' birds but I'll tell ya, Their music and their musicianship has been, still is, and hopefully WILL BE for years to come, TOP-KNOTCH, and the way Rock 'N Roll SHOULD be!
Been a fan for many years and have been to many shows. This was a great show and they rocked out. I definitely think more people should have been there to be blown away. Only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was it wasn't long enough :-(
The band tried hard but did not have the gusto of the original.
Instrument volume too loud for vocals. Molly Hatchet still rocks, would see them again hopefully with all members present next time!
I was not simply disappointed, but truly offended by this show. I was very excited to see Molly Hatchet. I have their first five records and love them all. Perhaps I should have done my homework on the current band lineup, but hindsight is 20/20. When the band took the stage I thought that they were another opener because I didn't recognize and of the players. After speaking with the couple next to me, I found out that there was nobody from those first five albums on the stage. The singer was terrible and the entire band was completely out of shape and performed like they were exhausted and lost. I think that it was wrong for this band to mislead the public and call themselves Molly Hatchet. Maybe if they called themselves the "New Molly Hatchet" of something, then fans could decide if they wanted to pay to see these guys or not. I feel that it was completely dishonest for them to call themselves Molly Hatchet when there was not a single member from the band that made any of the records that are known by the Molly Hatchtet fan base - that is: "Molly Hatchet (self-titled); "Flirtin' With Disaster"; "Beatin' the Odds"; Take No Prisoners"; and "No Guts, No Glory." Apparently someone purchased the band name and trademark and assembled a touring band of sub-par musicians and are touring ripping off fans worldwide. This band had ONE guitar player, not the triple guitar attack that Hatchet is known for. They also lacked the chops and stamina to cover the songs well. This is a bad Molly Hatchet cover band. I am angry and disappointed and asking myself how something like this could happen. Do not waste your money.
after party meet and greet at bar was VERY poorly organized
It was quite shocking to see that Molly hatchet has been reduced to, basically, a power trio, with excessively loud keyboard thrown in to mask the lack of guitar. Hard to imagine the classic Hatchet "wall of guitars" sound, attempting to be recreated by one thin sounding axe, but there it was. The classic tunes were covered, and the energy wasn't bad, but couldn't help feeling like the end may be near for this band, and feeling a little sad. Like they say, father time is undefeated...
I had great seats 3 rows from the stage and Molly Hatchet rocked the place!!! I was so glad that I went and the venue is very easy to find!!! The show was Superb played all their hits and did an encore with Flirtin' With Disaster!!! On top of the great show i got to meet them and get there autographs after the show at no additional cost!!!!! I had a really great time and whoever goes to that venue will like it too! They dedicated the Edge of Sundown and Fall of the Peacemakers to the servicemen overseas which was a great touch!!! HATCHET RULES!!!!! Long live MOLLY HATCHET!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wile I'm still a huge fan of southern rock, I have to say this was not a great show. Sound was terrible, the vocals were lost. Hatchet sounded better at Rock, Ribs, and Ridges last year. Nice theatre parking lacking and way too much for a drink!
I have never seen either band before. Pat Travers opened up without any fanfare and without too many fans. It was almost surreal as I had been at the same venue two weeks before to see Kansas and the place was packed. After Travers set Molly Hatchet took the stage and unfortunately the sound mix wasn't too good. The guitar player kept going off stage, Sorry to see so few people there but I was able to move closer to the end of the balcony. Had a couple of people who were drinking beer decide to scream out who-who every minute or so. Totally uncalled for. I was trying to listen to the music and not these two fools. I guess you take the good with the bad. A so-so concert overall.
What a great show! Did all the favorite tunes! Can't wait to see them again!!
Pat Travers band was amazing but disappointed even though was opening act, set was to short. Not to familiar with Molly Hatchet but would never see them again, walked out. Very loud and just could not listen after seeing Pat. Turned off by overly Patriotic stuff, Don't tread on Me nonsense.
Great show, took a friend for her Birthday & she had a great time. She caught drum stick from Pat Travers drummer & I caught pick from Molly Hatchet lead guitar
Not happy...Blackfoot started a few minutes after 8...which was late. Followed by Jimmie Van Zant, they were much better. Then came Hatchet...open with Whiskey Man, & first 30 seconds in , NO VOCALS ! It seemed there were WAY to many jam sessions , cut back & play more songs IMO. Also vocals seemed drowned out by guitars most of the night. overall...just so-so
Not happy, way to many solo rants by Hatchet. Started after 8 with Blackfoot & Hatchet finished around 1140. First 30 seconds in...Whiskey Man vocals were missing. aAll thru the concert the vocals seemed "drowned out " from guitars. Just so - so
molly hatchet put on a great show ,alot of energy on stage .they played most of their top hits.Sound could have been better, drums & base too loud & drowned out guitars. but put on a rockin show!
Let me first say, thank GOD Blackfoot and VanZant were a part of this show!! They were the show!! VanZant was amazing and we could have listened to him all night, Blackfoot was only on for a short time but they were good as well....Molly Hatchet's band was excellent but the lead singer left the stage several times (for Lord knows what)!! You couldn't understand a word he sang...my whole group agreed that he acted as though he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Molly Hatchet is still delivering the goods. I have seen them 5 times and they were all great shows. I did not care for the "New Blackfoot" I miss you guys from the real Blackfoot it just was not the same!
