So sad we have lost so many of the original lineup. RIP Bruce Crump, Riff West, Duane Roland, and Danny Joe Brown - the greatest southern rock singer that there will ever be! All these guys were some stellar players/performers. I grew up in South Florida and got to see them live a number of times. I have to say these guys were really down to earth guys and were very approachable. Hail to the Classic Hatchet!!
This is excellent,as I am very well versed at performing at this age is even harder than back when I was full of piss and vinegar,they sound fantastic,some of the best songs I’ve ever had the pleasure to hear,thanks for yrs of jamming,love you guys
I am so sorry to say that we've lost, yet another one of our Molly Hatchet Brothers. My friend Riff West passed away in his sleep from complications he sustained in a motor vehicle accident just over a year ago. God bless Riff's partner Terri Stewart as she picks up the pieces of this tremendous loss. Rest in Peace Brother Riff, Brother Duane, Brother Danny Joe and alll of our brothers and sisters who have wen on before up. You are very much loved and missed by all who were touched by your presence.
I have to say, it's nice to know these things. Like Riff West passing on Riff replaced that other bass player back in the late 70's, as I recall.And I so much more enjoyed Riff on bass on Molly Hatchet Double Trouble Live, 1984. He was just awesome.And w/Duane Roland and Dave Hlubek sharing lead and rhythm guitars, the band was just awesome. And, no ego's, either. They had respect for each other. But, Riff passing. I can't keep up on all these guys. I'll have to look him up on wikipedia. Not that this is so important, but I get goosebumps every time I hear that guy at the beginning of the recording of Double Trouble Live say: Won't you please welcome Jacksonville, Florida. Epic recording artists, Molly Hatchet. Especially when it's cranked up loud. O.K. That's all I have to say
I appreciate Jimmy Farrar gettin' out there and doing it. I saw him do this one live MANY times in the early 80's...he can lay as much claim to the Molly Atchet
To those who are critiquing Jimmy and think you can speak for Danny Joe, you don't have a clue. Jimmy is and was a great singer. He's definitely better than that scab that's singing in the Bobby Hatchet band now. Also, I'll be selling the bass Riff is playing in this video on eBay soon.
Isn’t it crazy how Gator Country is (was) the remainder of the real Molly Hatchet... but the current “Molly Hatchet” was (is) a stolen cover of the originals? Bobby Ingram might be one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet, but that was a rotten stunt he pulled.
Molly Hatchets first 2 Albums are pure gold but thery died when DJB left and then for good when he passed away. No disrespect to Jimmy Farrar but he wasnt good.
Wow. That was aweful. :( Duane was way past his prime and so was Jimmy. And yes, I have the right to say that as a lifelong Hatchet fan and someone who has seen them in concert 15 times.
Yeah. Dave Hlubek soloed on this tune in MH. Besides that, Duane did sound out of practice. In MH, he was the smoothest player out of the 3. You could hear the Eric Clapton influence in his playing during the MH days.
With the passing of Banner Thomas and Dave Hlubek, no original members are still living. Molly Hatchet is dead. The so called Molly Hatchet that still plays tours is nothing more than a tribute band.
Hornadayfan I wouldn't even call them that. If I had the money I'd buy the name and the rights to all the songs and put an injunction on that fat bastard to keep him from ever playing Molly Hatchet again
Love this. Thanks for posting. Long time Molly Hatchet fan.
One of the best bands I ever had the pleasure to work for. I so miss these guys.

Well said!
Excellent Double Trouble Live album
Awesome recording but can’t seem to find any video for that epic album!
I wish I could see some full shows with Duane. Paul was great, but I do miss my friend Duane and the rest.
I miss Duane Roland, he was huge influence on me learnin' guitar, rest in peace, Duane.
I appreciate Jimmy Farrar gettin' out there and doing it. I saw him do this one live MANY times in the early 80's...he can lay as much claim to the Molly Atchet
Loved it!!! Thank you
R.I P. Jimmy
Gator Country was real Hatchet than recent Hatchet, Bobby Ingram must realise destroying Hatchet legacy.

Garry Harville I agree!
Saw Molly Hatchet in November 2018. Or Bobby Hatchet as you said. The singer now is bad. Shameful what they are doing
...legacy as anyone can.
RIFF IS NOT AN ORIGINAL MEMBER..BANNER THOMAS WAS THE BASS PLAYER..OH I KNOW..I OPENED FOR THE ORIGINAL LINE UP..
RIP 🙏
great band boby who molly what? this is most of the real hatchet

Dude's singing from his throat, instead of his gnads, in total contrast to Danny Joe. I really did try to embrace this lineup....I really did 🙄
I didn’t realize Rush Limbaugh sang.It blows my mind that all but one original member has passed away. Most in their early 50’s. Way too young.
Wow. That was aweful. :( Duane was way past his prime and so was Jimmy. And yes, I have the right to say that as a lifelong Hatchet fan and someone who has seen them in concert 15 times.

I'm betting this was one of the first times Duane played the solo for this song.
Not cool. Embrace spell check.

Steve Holland is an original member, and the only one alive
todd489 Not as of this year, unfortunately.😔.
No sound?
I like the idea, BUT; Jimmy's voice is gone man, feeble attempt, don't think Danny Joe would approve! Just my opinion.
He can't sing. RIP Danny Joe
