Gator Country (Molly Hatchet) at Fort Zachary Taylor in Key West during the Poker Run in September 2005. First of two videos of "Dreams You'll Never See"
those musical details are lost on 99.8% of the listeners though. Groove wise, tempo, timbre etc - it's all Buddy Miles groove. Granted - DJB sang it better and the rest of Hatchet played it better. But all in all, I wish they had tipped the hat to Buddy a bit more as he was and mostly still is completely obscure, only registering as a Hendrix crony.
the arrangement is different we played it in d and stepped it down to c in a few parts of the song , Steve Holland when he played with Ice when he left and went to hattachet he took the stepping down to the c with him. Buddy Miles did not step down to the c cord when he played the song. Actually I steped it down myself when i Played the B3 and let it a taging drag c Cord hanging a few seconds like a sus note. Gary
exactly... I dont know who Marko Pocta is, but Hatchet lifted this straight from Buddy Miles album in '71. There's hardly any difference in Buddy's or MH's version.
You are right Mark played in the band ICE in high school and Steve Holland played guitar in the band with Mark. Steve took the arrangement of the Buddy Miles song when he went to hatchet. I played keyboards in the band before Steve was in the band with Mark.

Marko Pocta did the Molly Hatchet arrangement to the Allman Brothers "Dreams" and should have gotten the credit. He's an anwesome guitarist, been around for years, jammed with BB King, still playing in Florida.
The Allman Brothers did this song in 3/4 waltz time. If you want to hear where Molly Hatchet got the basis of their version from, then download the Buddy Miles version from the 1971 album "Them Changes". He made a 4/4 song out of it. Take his version, put in Duane and Dickey's leads and there you have it. Not to say that MH's version wasn't great and timeless. Who else would have thought of doing that?
