Binding : Audio CDEAN : 0886972424927Label : SonyManufacturer : SonyPublisher : SonyRelease date : 2008-03-01Title : Double Trouble LiveFormat : ArrayOriginal release date : 1985-01-01Studio : SonyMPN : 724249Number of discs : 1 Possibly the most under rated live recording of all time. At the time of the live recording (1984) Hatchet had honed their live sound to an almost telepathic ability, the guitar interplay between Dave Hlubek and Duane Roland (especially on the epic 'Fall of the Peacemakers') is epic beyond belief and 'Edge of Sundown' from lead singer Danny Joe Brown's solo album is given a savage shot of adrenalin.
I was lucky enough to meet keyboard player John Galvin at the Sweden Rock Festival in 2006 and he felt the production wasn't all that good (!), I think the great man is being modest, it's a stunning sound.
It's a pity that two original numbers 'Walk with you' and 'Walk on the Side of the Angels' were cut to fit this on a single CD. This minor niggle is akin to parting the waters of the Red Sea and stating "it's a bit muddy", but it should be mentioned - Prehaps this is a golden opportunity for a review & expansion of this classic?
I should know! My cassette copy from 1986 got worn out years ago and I bought 3 copies on CD from Amazon! Why 3? because my brother 'borrowed it' from me around 1990 and has been hunting for it in HMV and Virgin for years (Thanks Amazon!) His friend who wasnt even a rock fan got hooked on it as well hence the 3 copies. I ask how many live rock albums do that? Made in Japan? I doubt it! Ive listened to other Hatchet records but none is as fresh and exciting as this! It is minus two tracks from the original release which upset my brother a lot , but what the hell, its still an absolute gem.
