Joe Muscara Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I'm not very good at picking out Hammond settings and all, but I think I "spotted" this one and I wanted to confirm it. I was just listening to the studio version of Dreams, and during the low sections such as the beginning of the song, it sounds to me like he's using a chorus/vibrato setting (don't know which one) through a Leslie on slow. Is that correct? "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible! Hoo hoo!" - Daffy Duck "The good news is that once you start piano you never have to worry about getting laid again.

To B3 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 That´s what I hear too. Some variation of the Jimmy Smith sound, C2 or C3 with 3rd percussion and leslie on slow. My drawbars go to eleven.

MidLifeCrisis Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I am a huge Greg and ABB fan but I have to admit that Molly Hatchet's version is way better. Steve A Lifetime of Peace, Love and Protest Music www.rock-xtreme.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midinut Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I am a huge Greg and ABB fan but I have to admit that Molly Hatchet's version is way better. I like them both. I've been playing the MH version for years but always wanted to change gears mid-song and kick in ABB version. We also do Stormy Monday too so we really have enough slow blues tunes that we don't need to test my theory.

Molly Hatchet's version has nasal vocals and guitars going dink dinka dink dinka dinka dink dink. ABB has glorious Hammond and Greg Allman singing. Nuff said!

Tonysounds Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 What groove. Molly's seems so stiff compared to the swing of the ABB. I like it better in 6! Hitting "Play" does NOT constitute live performance. -Me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StartRun Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 ...original w/keyboards always trumps "version" sans keyboards. The time I saw 'em play Dreams live ('70), Allman wasn't using a Leslie, he was amping his B... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaj58 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Please don't use MH and the ABB in the same breath. The Allmans swing, Hatchet doesn't. Being a great fan of the So. rock genre i always hate it when MH gets lumped in w/the great So. rock bands from the 70's (Allmans, Skynyrd, Charlie Daniels, Marshall tucker, etc...) These are A bands in my book. Hatchet, a B band and what did they have against keyboard players? They seemed to have no use for us. Screw em'.

Some of the "motion" you hear comes from the organ itself. Observe the posted perc and registrations with Leslie OFF. Sounds great on my (Hammond) M3!

Granted, not as prominent (or talented) as Mr. Allman, but there's still a guy on stage... I think MH has a better logo, though: http://www.a-51x.com/sloth/pictures/az_599_Molly%20Hatchet_Molly%20Hatchet.jpg Almost as cool as Iron Maiden's "Eddie"...

kanker. Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 OK, I just listened to both versions. I can't understand, and never will be able to understand, the Allman Brothers fixation. They were a marginal band at their very best, and Dreams is about as marginal as they can get. For those who were saying it swings harder, I think it swings about as hard as a concrete slab. IMO, the Molly Hatchet version is infinitely more happening. A ROMpler is just a polyphonic turntable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
