This song puts tears in my eyes because I know its gone and this generation has no clue. The best time of my life was during this era of music. Rock and Roll music in steroids. 😭 Miss these times.
Same here. All these guys are dead now. I had the pleasure of seeing them in 1990 at a small bar in Madison Wisconsin in 1990. I'm not sure who all the members were. But i remember the triple lead guitars. Swaying back and forth.. after the concert, i went up on stage and stole their song list!!
I love how Danny Joe Brown keeps cracking a huge smile through the whole song, RIP bro! I'm 63 and was lucky to have grown up during the golden years of rock and roll, I feel truly blessed!
Danny Joe was such a kind hearted man. He suffered badly from Diabetes, Hepatitis and Kidney failure through most of his life. He played in pain for most of their live shows. Medical bills left him broke and moved into his mom's home in Fla. We the fans will always remember Danny Joe!
He went broke with medical bills, dying in his mid 50s at his mother's house. But hey, at least Joe Biden and the rest of the democrats are giving 100% taxpayer funded healthcare to illegal immigrants! That seems fair, right!?
@@jublaim ⁉️ Apparently, even though he paid lots of taxes as a successful musician, that STILL didn't make him eligible for full federal healthcare assistance, so he went broke! But Joe Biden and the democrats give 100% free healthcare to illegal immigrants from day 1 that they sneak across the border! Wtf... 😠
No make-up, flash, laser, fog machine, costume, gimmicks or pyrotechnics. Just kick butt talent by real musicians that holds water today and always will. Mutual appreciation on display.
I’m damn fortunate to have been raised in this music. Born in 1990 my dad played Molly Hatchet, Blackfoot, Skynyrd, Ozzy Osbourne, ACDC and countless other icons of Rock N’ Roll.
Same! But I was born in ‘71 n my mommy n daddy listened to amazing classic rock.. I grew up in the 80’s in high school so nuff’ said there! 🤭♥️🤣😂😍😍 my daughters name is Kashmir ❤
Another day that the Late Great Danny Jo Brown has inspired me to keep diggin and clawin and fighting my battles....Im sure we all have our battles. Demons and life's struggles..and we all deal with them in different ways...I try to keep my focus on the Lord..but im only human and fall way short of the Glory of God....But I have to remind myself everyday that God let's me see another day...There are many reasons to keep on fighting the fight....Listening to some songs certain ones by certain people really help a lot. Danny Jo Brown is one of those people and this is one of those songs...RIP Danny Jo Brown!!!
Danny Joe... What.an.amazing.Voice. And what an absolute giant of a frontman. These guys are like superheroes man. And the best part about that is, they're just regular dudes. No lipstick and window dressing. What you see is what you get with Hatchet. Just pure, unadulterated, top notch southern rock.
Molly Hatchet was the only band who could take an Allman Brothers tune and actually make it better. Bravo to both of these great pioneers of Southern Rock!
Best cover ever! Danny Joe Brown's voice was the one of the best singers for southern rock and rock& roll. I had a wicked crush on him and was so sad when he got sick and then passed away, nobody can sing this song, in particular, like him. RIP DJB and the other members of the original Molly Hatchet band who have passed! They were AMAZING!
Saw a new band called Molly Hatchet open for the Outlaws in Knoxville in 1978. They played nonstop for about an hour...finished with this number. Holy crap! Hard act to follow. It wasn't a good night to be the Outlaws.
@Joseph, I envy you both. I wasn't even a twinkle in my parents eye's yet lol. I would give anything to step into a time machine and see these guys live, even for only a few hours. They're one of my favorite bands and the reason I picked up an instrument. The effect they have is amazing because when you look at them, just regular guys. No Polish, lipstick, or Window dressing. Just pure, unadulterated, hard rock southern style. They showed me that you don't need to be an Eddie van halen/rip, in order to rock. Just the will and the motivation. They're absolutely legendary.
Still to this day, 23 years later, I still can’t believe I hung out with Dave and Jackson Spires of Blackfoot all day and most of the night. Dave is wearing the white shirt and playing the gold top LP on left.. God the story’s he and Jackson told me. I’ll cherish them the rest of my life. Once a lifetime for sure! RIP
I first heard them when i was like 14 years old and in now 58 and i never get tired of hearing them , one of the best rock bands of all time. Danny Joe Brown voice is just perfect for them.
I remember my ex-husband Philip Hoban !! Rip Philip hey looking for Molly Hatchet all the time he also looks like Danny Joe Brown !! Best kind of music is not around anymore these were the good old days🎶🎼🖤
RIP to all the original Molly Hatchet Band.... I know they are Rockin' the heavens...... Thanks to all the Guys for being a huge part of the soundtrack of my youth..... oh to re-live some of those parties.... Thanks or the memories Guys..... I'll listen to Hatchet music till I die.....
Thank you God for this music . . . it helped me through a lot of hard times, those times occurred because of the mistakes I kept making To the great MOLLY HATCHET ❤
The Allman Brothers gave us this song, but Danny Joe and Company made it legendary. Their version easily totals MUCH more than the sum of its parts by an order of magnitude, and is in my Top 10 personal favorite songs of all time. I'm happy to say I also still own all the vinyl I've ever purchased, including Flirtin' with Disaster.
In 1984 I seen Molly Hatchet at a bar called Summers on the Beach in Fort Lauderdale FL. Sound Check Just after 7pm. Came back on around 9, they Rocked Walls of that Club until Midnight.This is during Spring Break of 84. They came back around 1:00 and it was daybreak when they stopped playing it.I was raised in NC
Better version than the Allman Bros. I saw them in '77-78 in Virginia while I was in the navy. Great rockin' concert!! RIP all of those from MH whom we have lost.
I am a guitar player & I played this song in one of the bands I was in during the late 80s/early 90s. People always loved this song also which made it a nice cover to pull out. I was lucky to have seen Molly Hatchet around 1983 ish. It was at an outdoor show that was an all day event with around 6 bands. The first few bands sucked & most of them I had never heard of but the two major headlining bands were Molly Hatchet & Blue Oyster Cult. I liked both bands but wasn't a huge fan either, but I was still excited to be going to this show. Molly Hatchet was the 5th band to play and then Blue Oyster Cult was the 6 and final band with both bands playing roughly 90 minutes each. Molly Hatchet came on and EPHAN blew me away!! They were so energetic & sounded freaking amazing. I do not say this lightly when I say they blew me away. I did not know what to expect & they delivered much more than I could have ever wished for & gained a major amount of respect for them after seeing them play live. Unfortunately Blue Oyster Cult came out to finish up the concert & they were so horrible!! I was never so disappointed with a live band with the exception of Aerosmith during their bottoming out period with drugs & alcohol on their 1982 tour. Aerosmith was absolutely horrendous, I still feel like Steve Tyler owes me my money back. Once the curtains rose up there stood(sort of) the drunkest 5 guys I have ever seen on stage. Steve was missing entire verses because he was too busy snorting lines & pouring another cup full of jack Daniels for himself. This was the "Rock and A Hard Place" tour when Joe Perry & Brad Whitford left and Jimmy Crespo & Rick Dufay filled in for them. Back to Blue Oyster Cult, they weren't even wasted or on drugs, they were just lazy and not into it at all. They also sounded like crap. That same band I was in also played "Godzilla" as a cover song occasionally so I didn't dislike them. It was very disappointing Molly Hatchet blew away all 5 of the other bands that played at that outdoor festival that day. They should have been the closing headlining act & should have had a longer set as well because they deserved it. I still can't believe how awful BOC was live. They didn't even try to dial in their tone and sound settings & had zero energy acting like they would have rather been anywhere else but on stage. Going to that concert was a last minute decision. it was on a Saturday & I had the weekend off then. An old friend called me and asked me if my soon to be wife & I wanted to go with him and his soon to be wife & I gladly said yes and got tickets the day of the show. It was general admission and we got there early & had excellent seats. Just seeing Molly Hatchet made the entire day worth it. I was so disappointed with BOC that an old friend who was a drummer in a different band I was in offered me a free ticket and ride to see BOC about 4-5 years ago & I respectfully declined the offer. All I could imagine was having to sit through a concert of them phoning in the show and sounding horrible at the same time. Molly Hatchet made my day back in 1983 on that summer afternoon on a Saturday & I have never forgotten how awesome they were. I figured they would be good but they stole the show that day & earned my respect as a musician/guitar player. An additional note about that Aerosmith show. I was front row directly in front of Steve Tyler himself & he kept kicking his cupo of Jack Daniels over getting it on my friends & I. I did not drink that night but did dabble in some other mind altering substances. When I got home my parents checked me at the door and thought I had been drinking thanks to Steve Tyler kickinjg his drinks on me all night. They were like, sure .. that is at least an original excuse/story LOLOL. They eventually came to believe me after seeing him passed out in enough newspapers the following weeks after that show. I was surprised he finished the show, about a week or two later he passed out on stage after 3 songs in Portland, Maine & did the same thing a week later in Worcester, Mass. During those few years I lived on the same street as the venue they played at in NH so I could just walk to those shows and the Joe Perry Project played at this same venue on 6 occasions. I saw all 6 shows he played there before he joined back up with Aerosmith & the Joe Perry Project blew Aerosmith away every time they played there. Joe may have had bottles of jack Daniels on his Marshall stacks but he never missed a beat or note and always brought 100% when he played and sounded awesome as well. It was also a slightly different lineup each time as well which mixed it up and made seeing each show he did there worth it. I still have the ticket stubs from those JPP shows and it only cost $6-$8 dollars to see him live which also made things nice. At the time I saw that worthless Aerosmith show it was the most expensive show I had ever seen. It cost $60 a ticket and I bought 2 tickets because I brought a date. To put that price in perspective only one month later I saw my favorite band "Rush" live on their "Signals" tour and it only cost $22 dollars a ticket and they were amazing, giving 100%++ and were never wasted for a live show. The venue I saw Aerosmith & the Joe Perry Project in, is in NH where the members of Aerosmith own mansions on a lake only about an hour north of Boston. The moral of my mini novel is ..... Aerosmith & Blue Oyster Cult sucked and were horrible live while Rush & Molly Hatchet were Amazing live and proved they respect their fans & probably save their vices for when the show is over. It is never a good sign when the band you are seeing is more wasted than the entire audience who are there to see them is.
Saw these guys back in the day: a lot of southerners initially thought their version of Allman's Dreams was a sacrilege, just did not do this to Duane's memory but it grew on you after a while. Danny Joe's stroke was a Heartbreaker.
Yes I would love to thank Danny Joe Brown and the boys for all they gave us in their short time.i recently learned that Ronnie Van Zant was coaching them in the studio prior to his life being lost.God Bless Ronnie and all the guys from Molly Hatchett forever!!
I remember vividly when their first album hit the stores! Southern Rock at its best! Easily one of the greatest of my time! They hit the ground running and never stopped! Rest in Peace! Gone to soon ! We truly lived thru the Greatest generations of the 70s and early 80s ! It will never be that Great again!
He looked in better shape here than in the 1978 Maryland UA-cam video. In that video he had the benefit of youth. D.J.B. may you rest in peace forever brother! Gator Country!
It's so sad to think that every last founding member of Molly Hatchet has passed. Steve Holland was the last surviving member who passed 2 yrs ago. Recording and performing this cover of "Dreams" was so ironic. They on the one hand, saw the dream of success as a band but none of them ever reached the age of 70. R.I.P.
This song is really speaking to me the past few days. Being hung up on dreams best that I not ever see leaves me missing the real dreams that are coming to me. It is truly beautiful. Thanks Danny Joe for so passionately and powerfully delivering this message with this incredible band! Ride on that armored horse full of fire and dreams and heavenly skies.
one of my dads favorite songs. hes gone now. but my god did that man work his ass off for his family and love his babies! its only now i see how much he sacraficed.
I met the band after they played at Bayfest in Mobile. Told them all they were the reason I was a guitarist. It was a cool moment. They knew I wasn't bullshitting. These guys are only a few years older than me. My three older brothers were standing behind me nodding their heads. It was a cool moment in time. I played pro as a studio back up when needed. Now I just play on the porch. It was nice to meet the guys that turned me into this person. After a few drinks everyone wants to hear me play. I always start with "The Price You Pay".... You all turned me into a crazy musician. You never know what influence you have on another person. I went into classical, jazzfusion, but always came back to your style. It just sounds better.
These live vocals are so awesome. Deep and bluesy, and you can tell everyone is just having a great time. What a neat snapshot into musical history. This is coming from a guy who discovered this band from the Rock Band game and used to make fun of "Flirtin' With Disaster" as a kid. Now it's one of my favorite songs. Jokes on me! These guys rule.
I was front row in a bar in Michigan when Hatchet was in their later days. Danny reached down and grabbed my friend and my hands for a very long time. He closed his eyes like he was trying to draw our energy. I hope I gave him some because the band has given me a lot of energy over the years.
There are so many singers in the world. How can one man have a voice so drastically different than the rest? It doesn’t look like he’s TRYING to be different. What a voice!
This song puts tears in my eyes because I know its gone and this generation has no clue. The best time of my life was during this era of music. Rock and Roll music in steroids. 😭 Miss these times.
Rock on Skynyrd was first but these guys carried the torch
Very true

@@bigsky3072 Cool story. Do you still happen to have the song list?
I was there and you're so right.The best days of rock and roll

You said it. Nobody could growl like DJB. Didn't realize how lucky I was to see all these bands from this era.
Cracking that smile, yes
Syes
Rock you
I didn't fuck me
Molly Hatchet should be in rock and roll hall of fame
ROCK N ROLL Hall of fame is in OUR Hearts!
When I listen to Molly Hatchet, so do my neighbors.
So true
This needs to played on ELEVEN !!!
I can hear it here in NC from your house!
Hell yeah
Hell yeah!
Danny Joe was such a kind hearted man. He suffered badly from Diabetes, Hepatitis and Kidney failure through most of his life. He played in pain for most of their live shows. Medical bills left him broke and moved into his mom's home in Fla. We the fans will always remember Danny Joe!
The medical industry spin cycle mantra is keep em worried, keep em sick, keep em broke. Public enemy #1. MOLLY HATCHET LIVES
Couldn't any of his friends help him out with money? Former band friends?
He went broke with medical bills, dying in his mid 50s at his mother's house. But hey, at least Joe Biden and the rest of the democrats are giving 100% taxpayer funded healthcare to illegal immigrants! That seems fair, right!?

Don't forget Axe outta Jax
Me too!
I saw those 2 bands, and a Band called Mother's Finest, all in the same night, in Greensboro N.C.
@@oceanpyrate sounds like a killer show!
Most underrated band of all time. Unbelievable live.
As is BlackBerry Smoke currently. Charlie Starr should be a superstar , he is in my world.
Agreeded!!!!
Only in the north
Saw them live as a young teen. Didn't appreciate what I was experiencing at the time. 😞 Incredibly talented group of people.
So is the group Point Blank.

Listened to M.H. every morning, driving to high school in 1981.
Molley Hatchet with the Outlaws! Must have been an Amazing night!

Crazy, u went to that concert, I had seen them in a bar in Atlantic Beach NC, I also joined the navy July 1979
This song brings me to tears every time I I hear it…. I wish I could stop playing it, but I can’t….
148 people were not kids of the 60's and 70's. This is true Southern Rock!
Gorgeous DJB with his phenomenal vocals. One of my favorite bands ever!
I would bet due to the sheer physical presence the band brought with them that no promotor ever tried to stiff them.
Big Old Country Boys for sure.
Amen!
With all due respect to The Allman Brothers Band, this is the definitive version by Molly Hatchet!! R I P DJB!
As a big ABB fan…..I agree. I think the ABB would give the nod to MH!🤘🏼
Duane Roland's solo on this is one of their signature pieces. Great stuff.
Loved this band back in my high school years..77'-81'! True southern rock and I live in East Tenn., where we love southern rock&roll!
Likewise for me 77-81. My truck driver uncle gave me the Flirting with Disaster LP for Christmas in 1979 and I was hooked !
I saw MH at the MidSouth Coliseum, in 1980. My senior year in HS. The warm-up band was .38 Special. A hell of a night.
RIP and God bless Danny Joe Brown, what a gift he was to us all. Always remembered and never forgotten.

They should have been the closing headlining act & should have had a longer set as well because they deserved it. I still can't believe how awful BOC was live. They didn't even try to dial in their tone and sound settings & had zero energy acting like they would have rather been anywhere else but on stage. Going to that concert was a last minute decision. it was on a Saturday & I had the weekend off then. An old friend called me and asked me if my soon to be wife & I wanted to go with him and his soon to be wife & I gladly said yes and got tickets the day of the show. It was general admission and we got there early & had excellent seats. Just seeing Molly Hatchet made the entire day worth it. I was so disappointed with BOC that an old friend who was a drummer in a different band I was in offered me a free ticket and ride to see BOC about 4-5 years ago & I respectfully declined the offer. All I could imagine was having to sit through a concert of them phoning in the show and sounding horrible at the same time. Molly Hatchet made my day back in 1983 on that summer afternoon on a Saturday & I have never forgotten how awesome they were. I figured they would be good but they stole the show that day & earned my respect as a musician/guitar player. An additional note about that Aerosmith show. I was front row directly in front of Steve Tyler himself & he kept kicking his cupo of Jack Daniels over getting it on my friends & I. I did not drink that night but did dabble in some other mind altering substances. When I got home my parents checked me at the door and thought I had been drinking thanks to Steve Tyler kickinjg his drinks on me all night. They were like, sure .. that is at least an original excuse/story LOLOL. They eventually came to believe me after seeing him passed out in enough newspapers the following weeks after that show. I was surprised he finished the show, about a week or two later he passed out on stage after 3 songs in Portland, Maine & did the same thing a week later in Worcester, Mass. During those few years I lived on the same street as the venue they played at in NH so I could just walk to those shows and the Joe Perry Project played at this same venue on 6 occasions. I saw all 6 shows he played there before he joined back up with Aerosmith & the Joe Perry Project blew Aerosmith away every time they played there. Joe may have had bottles of jack Daniels on his Marshall stacks but he never missed a beat or note and always brought 100% when he played and sounded awesome as well. It was also a slightly different lineup each time as well which mixed it up and made seeing each show he did there worth it. I still have the ticket stubs from those JPP shows and it only cost $6-$8 dollars to see him live which also made things nice. At the time I saw that worthless Aerosmith show it was the most expensive show I had ever seen. It cost $60 a ticket and I bought 2 tickets because I brought a date. To put that price in perspective only one month later I saw my favorite band "Rush" live on their "Signals" tour and it only cost $22 dollars a ticket and they were amazing, giving 100%++ and were never wasted for a live show. The venue I saw Aerosmith & the Joe Perry Project in, is in NH where the members of Aerosmith own mansions on a lake only about an hour north of Boston. The moral of my mini novel is ..... Aerosmith & Blue Oyster Cult sucked and were horrible live while Rush & Molly Hatchet were Amazing live and proved they respect their fans & probably save their vices for when the show is over. It is never a good sign when the band you are seeing is more wasted than the entire audience who are there to see them is.
if you’re still rocking to this in 2021....!
Saw these guys back in the day: a lot of southerners initially thought their version of Allman's Dreams was a sacrilege, just did not do this to Duane's memory but it grew on you after a while. Danny Joe's stroke was a Heartbreaker.
As a southerner I prefer mh version every day and twice on Sunday.
Hell yeah neighbors be damned!Molly Hatchet was King.
One of the few times in music that the re-make is WAY better than the original! Molly Hatchet made this song their own!
Who knew that Richard Simmons was such a badass on bass??
Seriously, good times, good times. A geat time to be young.
Had the pleasure of allowing them to use my RV as a green room in Davie, Florida.
Yes I would love to thank Danny Joe Brown and the boys for all they gave us in their short time.i recently learned that Ronnie Van Zant was coaching them in the studio prior to his life being lost.God Bless Ronnie and all the guys from Molly Hatchett forever!!
I remember vividly when their first album hit the stores! Southern Rock at its best! Easily one of the greatest of my time! They hit the ground running and never stopped! Rest in Peace! Gone to soon ! We truly lived thru the Greatest generations of the 70s and early 80s ! It will never be that Great again!
Danny Joe Brown, you were one of a kind, best southern rock lead singer ever!
Put on your walking boots and ciimb down from your hilltop. A true Star!
Molly Harchet. What can I say. Awesome, very unique, one of a kind Southern rock band. Miss all them brothers in the band. Rest in peace Danny.
He looked in better shape here than in the 1978 Maryland UA-cam video. In that video he had the benefit of youth. D.J.B. may you rest in peace forever brother! Gator Country!
Saw them in '79...still one of the best live shows I've seen
We were blessed with some excellent music in the 80's
Danny Joe always had such a great time on stage. God, I miss him. R.I.P. Danny...sniffle
What a great band! Kids today dont have a clue!
Oh man back in the late 70’s my buddy and I would listen to this song while driving down a curvy road in a bug eyed sprite it was awesome
I've been jammin to Molly Hatchet since I was 8 years old. This, is timeless southern rock!
I was born n raised in south fla this is true southern rock where have all the rebels gone?
@SouthVA 757 👍💯
Blackberry Smoke does a good job
Rip
U might start seeing some of us pretty soon, considering how things are headed in this country.
Doc holiday great band
I saw these guys at the Tampa Armory back in 1980 and Dusty Rhodes and Ric Flair were there at the concert..... Man what a night that was !!!!!
LA crowd got everything they paid for that night.....outstanding!!
Kick-ass performance of a killer song.
The guitar playing in this song… Lordy Lordy Lordy the whole song actually… It brings tears to my eyes in a happy way
Grew up in Florida and saw them many times and it was always a tremendous party. Incredible live band rest in peace Danny
I met this entire band in a kroger in charlotte NC. back in 1988.
Man, I miss those guys!!! My favorite Southern Rock band ever. None will ever come close.
No question Danny Joe Brown was/is the greatest, coolest, most distinctive Southern Rock singer of all time.
Awesome , But Paul Rodgers takes that tittle !!

It's so sad to think that every last founding member of Molly Hatchet has passed. Steve Holland was the last surviving member who passed 2 yrs ago. Recording and performing this cover of "Dreams" was so ironic. They on the one hand, saw the dream of success as a band but none of them ever reached the age of 70. R.I.P.
This song is really speaking to me the past few days. Being hung up on dreams best that I not ever see leaves me missing the real dreams that are coming to me. It is truly beautiful. Thanks Danny Joe for so passionately and powerfully delivering this message with this incredible band! Ride on that armored horse full of fire and dreams and heavenly skies.
this song always makes me feel better especially Danny's foot stomping! The band were dang sure on top of their game. So much talent!! 💘🎸🎤
So glad I was lucky enough to be part of this era .Molly Hatchet is truly the greatest rock and roll bands ever. The singer is so Hot!!!!!
one of my dads favorite songs. hes gone now. but my god did that man work his ass off for his family and love his babies!
its only now i see how much he sacraficed.
I met the band after they played at Bayfest in Mobile. Told them all they were the reason I was a guitarist. It was a cool moment. They knew I wasn't bullshitting. These guys are only a few years older than me. My three older brothers were standing behind me nodding their heads. It was a cool moment in time.
I played pro as a studio back up when needed. Now I just play on the porch. It was nice to meet the guys that turned me into this person. After a few drinks everyone wants to hear me play. I always start with "The Price You Pay"....
You all turned me into a crazy musician. You never know what influence you have on another person. I went into classical, jazzfusion, but always came back to your style. It just sounds better.
So hard to believe the entire group is "dead and gone"- RIP, but my memories will not!
I miss this Band!
DJB you were the best ,what a unique voice you are missed ❤
These live vocals are so awesome. Deep and bluesy, and you can tell everyone is just having a great time. What a neat snapshot into musical history.
This is coming from a guy who discovered this band from the Rock Band game and used to make fun of "Flirtin' With Disaster" as a kid. Now it's one of my favorite songs. Jokes on me! These guys rule.
I was front row in a bar in Michigan when Hatchet was in their later days. Danny reached down and grabbed my friend and my hands for a very long time. He closed his eyes like he was trying to draw our energy. I hope I gave him some because the band has given me a lot of energy over the years.
Soul soothing, always. RIP Danny
50 years plus and they still out play anyone. Rock On Danny
This is what is considered the Standard.
All others bow down to The Hatchet.
I got my external speakers clapped to my ears and it still isn't LOUD ENOUGH!
There are so many singers in the world. How can one man have a voice so drastically different than the rest? It doesn’t look like he’s TRYING to be different. What a voice!
