Recording information: The Agora Ballroom, Atlanta, GA (04/20/1979). Featuring the hugely popular Southern rock band performing on their home turf in 1979, riding the crest of the success of their self-titled debut album, this live set includes favorites from MOLLY HATCHET like the anti-Northern "Big Apple" and the extended guitar jam of "Dreams I'll Never See." It's fleshed out with rootsy workouts like "T for Texas (Blue Yodel No.1)," "Let the Good Times Roll," and "Crossroads," and with their signature twin guitar harmonies and Danny Joe Brown's take-no-prisoners vocals, the band sounds unbeatable.

At the tail end of the 1970s, when Southern rock's popularity seemed to be waning, a new generation of Dixie outlaws appeared, and Molly Hatchet led the charge. The hard-rocking Southern boogie band released its first album in 1978, but it was the '79 follow-up, FLIRTIN' WITH DISASTER, that made the band a major name. Shortly thereafter, singer Danny Joe Brown quit the group, and was replaced for a couple of albums by Jimmy Farrar before finally returning for 1983's NO GUTS...NO GLORY. Though Brown and guitarist Duane Roland died in the mid-2000s, the band never stopped performing.
