We had a request for some Molly Hatchet a little while back, sorry it took me so long to get this up but it was worth the wait. This is a nice recording of Molly Hatchet kicking out their brand of Southern Rock Boogie with a Hard Rock heart. This one comes from the bands tour to promote their debut album Molly Hatchet. Ronnie Van Zant of Lynyrd Skynyrd fame was a big fan of Molly Hatchet and had a lot to do with the band being signed to a recording contract. As a matter of fact Ronnie was scheduled to produce Molly Hatchet's debut album but died in a plane crash before the sessions began. The band pulls out a cover of Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Gimme Three Steps" in tribute. Lead vocalist Danny Joe Brown passed away March 10, 2005 from renal failure at the age of 53. Danny had long suffered complications from diabetes and had a massive stroke in 1995. Duane Roland passed away a little over a year later June 19, 2006 from natural causes. He was also 53.

Awesome collection from Jeff Beck's Blow By Blow Tour. You get 2 great performances, one from Detroit and one from Milwaukee, and a guest spot by John McLaughlin. Jeff uses a Talk Box, probably a  Kustom Electronics Talk Box, for the vocals on "Superstition" just like on "She's A Woman". This early Talk Box was a bag worn over the musicians shoulder. If you have ever seen a live video of Nazareth playing "Hair Of The Dog", you have seen Dan McCafferty wearing such a device. These are dry soundboard recordings with very little audience noise.

Our first post from REO Speedwagon post at The New JDP comes from their 1977 appearance on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert. The band was promoting the release of their first live album Live: You Get What You Play For. REO's star was on the rise, the next 6 albums would keep REO on the charts well into the 1980's. Their biggest success will come in 1980 with Hi Infidelity. That album would reach #1 on The Billboard Hot 200 and stay there for 15 weeks. 6 singles would be released and all 6 charted. I downloaded this from the old Hear Rock City blog so thanks go out to them!
