There is one golden rule to the self-conception of all Southern Rock bands: the absolute truth lies on stage. Independent of the state of mind (or health) of the protagonists, in scorching heat, gusty wind, torrential rain or other climatic imponderabilities ñ the artists aim to inspire their fans with every show. Alongside Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers, Molly Hatchet are among the bands that have made this philosophy their own, giving it their all, night after night and Live In Hamburg is the living visual testament of such.

Guitars are more than well-crafted instruments. Musicians know each guitar holds songs that only they can coax from its strings. This connection is evident from modern-day guitar's earliest acoustic beginnings in Orville H.

In A Guitar Odyssey: Wired For Sound, a gallery of guitar greats demonstrate musical innovations and unique styles. Meet the "Who's Who" of guitar playing and hear the enduring sounds they created, from early masters like Chet Atkins, Chuck Berry, B.B.

Recorded live in Fort Worth, Texas, USA, on May 9-10, 1997. This is right in the thick of the "Load" tour when Metallica were trying something different. "So What" sounds pretty damn good and it's a good way to open the show. Right from that into "Creeping Death" which always sounds cool live. Later, a nice little version of "Fuel" with alternate lyrics and as always, "Fuel" smokes live. Then a bass/guitar doodle of "My Friend Of Misery" and "Sanitarium" into a very good version of "Nothing Else Matters".
