What an absolute joy to have attended the University of Miami School of Music with these guys. They were a Jazz Rock Ensemble class and to hear them rehearse was just magic. As part of the Music Engineering program (Bill Porter - Man with the Golden Ear at the helm) T. Lavitz was my senior recording project. Thanks T - such a sweetie - he is missed. The Miami music scene was buzzing with Criteria Studios churning out hits (461 Ocean Boulevard), the Bee Gees rise to Saturday Night Fever pitch, Buffett, Estefan and more GREAT music. Will always cherish and never forget.
cool story Sue.. the only negative was you might have forgot to add ear plugs? I lost lots of hearing playing in garage bands with guitarists.. cool white pelicans in your yard video
I was there, but not in the music school. I lived in Pearson- Mahoney dorm, tho, and jammed with these guys in the practice room a few times (Highway Star!). What a scene that was! Hiram Bullock & Will Lee were running around playing everywhere together as well. Steve was the man then, everyone knew he was going to go somewhere with this stuff.
In 1979 The Dixie Dregs played at FAU and just blew us away! I couldn't listen too anything else but the dregs for months. What a Band! Thanks for sharing.
They were big where it counted. I think they were a bit over-heated for something like movie scores - chopping heads with virtuosity only appeals to a certain crowd - us guitar weirdos? They kinda played themselves outta the "doctor office waiting room" segment of instrumental music. ~~~dat's one twitchy doctor~~~
to me Steve Morse ranks right up there with all the other great guitarists of the 20th Century including Al Di Meola , Albert Lee , Tony Rice , Chet Atkins ...just to mention a few ! his work with Dixie Dregs though is by far his best !
This was from the year I graduated high school, and I love Steve Morse to this day! He is still my hero! God Bless Steve Morse! Thanks for posting this so we can enjoy!
These guys are the best of the best for sure. I'm glad I have gotten to see them live a couple of times and I want to see them again and again! Their interplay just blows my mind. I love Steve Morse's acoustic pieces too. What a master guitarist he is!!!
I saw the Dregs in '81 at Chicago fest. They opened for .38 Special I knew OF the Dregs but was not familiar with their music so their set that night was a great intro into their no holds barred fusion and Rod Morganstein's monstrous drumming
Andy and Tony Levin were the reason why I ordered a Steinberger L2 in '83 ! Eddie Van Halen ended up with the bass I ordered from Nadine's Music and I had to wait awhile for the next one to arrive !!
This lineup of the Dixie Dregs was the very first time I mixed a live show on a JENSON transformered monitor split mix....lol I was scared shitless... 35-40 years later still doing audio and spoke with Mark O'Connor at Merlefest preCovid... I told him how intimidated I was that evening and he laughed like hell...lol these guys were quite the inspiration for me when I was in my late teens or early 20s..! RIP T.
I first saw these guys opening up for Stanley Clarke at the Houston Music Hall around 1979. I was an instant fan. I had the pleasure of seeing them two more times before they broke up. Phenomenal band and always fun onstage. I'm so glad that Rod got to experience mainstream success with Winger.
I had the pleasure of being the house sound tech on the Dreg's 1981 tour to Vancouver, Canada. The tour was highlighted by the eruption of Mount St Helen's when we were trying to go from Vancouver to Denver. Steve is just a super-nice guy. Once when we had a international border crossing and it was raining during load out, Steve got the band to help us load out. I was coming north from San Diego with Metallica when I found T Lavitz on a Los Angeles jazz/ fusion radio station. I regret not calling the station because he died before I ran into him again. Alan Sloan was playing fiddle on the tour I worked.
Just saw the Mark O'Connor band the other night. He's older now but still has those flashes of brilliance. It's amazing to think of how many lifetimes he has lived with The Dregs, Nashville Cats, David Grisman, Strength in Numbers, the list goes on and on. Absolutely true, there is no one who can touch Steve Morse. They were all really phenomenal musicians.
Blown away, had the privilege seeing this classic line up @ The Golden Bear in Huntington Beach Calif 1981. Industry Standard Tour I was never the same that nite after cold Heineken & seeing, hearing their technical skills Analog Synths ruled! RIP T. Lavitz! The world suffered a profound loss of your musicianship in passing
cool... guys should only consider quitting if they see a woman playing an instrument better ? lol.. if I am bored with practicing I find a better woman musician on line and that makes me practice my scales and stuff
I first saw these guys in '78 while on spring break, down on River St. in Savannah, Georgia on St. Patrick's Day. They were promoting their second album "What If". I was blown away. I was going to F.A.U. down in Boca Raton, Fl. at the time, and I told our program board about them. The program board booked them, and they played on the outdoor stage at F.A.U. on Dec. 3rd. 1978. I usually did front stage security for these productions, so I had the 'best seats' in the house....(con't)
Steve Morse is the guitar player I measure myself by. I love the Dreggs. This song really lifts the spirits and speaks to greatness, which is something Steve achieves with his pioneering dedication to the guitar.
(con't from previous post) My friend, Mike Goldman, was from Long Island and had gone to school with Rod Morgenstein. I got him to work stage security with me. We got to meet the band before the show, and Mike and Rod had a mini-reunion. It was a fantastic show. I saw them a couple of years later in WPB at the old "leaky teepee" when they were the warm up band for Molly Hatchet. Now, Molly Hatchet was from my home town, Jacksonville, Fl., but I thought the Dixie Dregs flat BLEW THEM AWAY!
It's Steve's Frankentele! Tele body, strat neck. DiMarzio single coil and Humbuckers pickups. I remember this tour, my first time to see the Dregs Live. My cousin from Georgia turned me on them in the late 70s. Great stuff. He had an awesome gig the other night backing up Joe Satriani in Houston. Always a joy to see this dude live.
thanks for posting this .... i just can't get enuff of the Dixie Dregs, it's great to see Steve playing the old tele/stratnecked warhorse that's been retired, to me it had a sound all it's own that the other Morse guitars can't match, it's a pleasure to listen to .....RIP T' and may we all keep rockin
Oh, God: I was not aware of T's passing :-( So sad. I met T right after he joined The Dregs, and he was such a warm and genuine person. I went to see The Dregs play at a Miami college, and T had just gotten his brand-new Oberheim OB-Xa; splittable keyboard, cutting-edge for the day. He brought me up on stage before the show, and we played "Heart and Soul" on it like a couple of kids !!!!:P Good Lord, we lose the best ones. Thanks for everything, T. Peace:-)
Wow, brings back good memories. I was at this show. If im not mistaken it was at the Golden Bear in Huntington Beach. It rocked the house man. I love to watch all this stuff , thanks for posting it.
Got to see them in '81 at the outdoor stage at NMSU, Las Cruces, NM. FOR FREE! It was the only thing that made my 14 years in college worth while.....that and Marylou Pennypecker.
I saw Steve Morse in Boulder CO at a place called the Blue Note on the Boulder street Mall. It was around 1987 or so. My friend is a talented song writer and bass player and right now he thinks Mark O'Connor is the greatest musician in the world.
LOL !! That's what I get for typing and not watching !!!! There's the OB-Xa to T's left @0:58--1:10 !!!! HA !!! He was sooooo damned good !!!! With Steve, Andy, Mark, and the always-happy Rod !!! Awesome musicians all !!!! Thanks for the happy memories, especially in light of the loss of T. R.I.P.
Wow. This is a pretty darn good band. I really like the guy with the long blonde hair. I heard about this band but never listened. I assume he is Steve Morse from the morse code family lossibly. Thanks for sharing.
Funny, just before this video popped up, I was watching Lee Sklar play the bassline to Doctor My Eyes on a heavily customized/decorated bass; and my mind flashed back to seeing the original Dregs on their last couple of tours, where I was pretty sure Andy West was playing either an Alembic (?) or a Steinberger ---- and here is the Steinberger!
Great band. I saw them once at an outdoor venue. After the show, I saw Seve Morse just off stage. I showered him with praise (as one might expect from a 17 year old budding guitarist), and asked him for a guitar pick as a souvenir. He looked down at the pick in his hand, said "no," and walked off. Must have been a reason, but I never figured out what it was. Maybe, as one of my pro musician friends says, performers owe you their best performance, and nothing more, not even common courtesy.
Saw them do this live at the Roxy, front row center. Blew my mind. Insane! Believe it or not this is a bit tame compared to that night. Thanks for sharing. And ya, RIP T Lavitz (very nice btw).
My sister dated Steve for a while back when they were a good local band (Dixie Grit) in Augusta, GA - my parents hated "the hippie." Who knew he'd turn in to this and more.
Miles30.From Augusta as well. Mark Parrish lived across the street. My older brother played drums and used to goof around with those guys back in the day. They actually practiced a few times in my Dads shop behind our house. Probably know my brother.
As they were when I saw them back then. I love the "FrankenTele"!! Note Steve's look of frustration at 2:40 after Rod picks up the tempo on his solo. Crew's "out of " Control, yet they still pull off a magnificent comeback.
You can hear him try to pull it back in and his solo and Rod wasn’t having any of it, lol. This wasn’t a mistake, Rod was fucking with them. He’s mentioned a timer to that he’ll will occasionally get very mischievous with the rest of the band.
I turned my brother in law, (who played bass for the Pretenders before he died) on to this song when he came to New Orleans. He flipped out! Wow, you Americans are really something! is what he said. Also, when I saw Steve Morse sit in with Paco Delucia, Al Dimeols, and John McGlaclin (spelling?), Steve was the star!!
Not really "bootleg" video--This is from NBC's "Tomorrow" show w/Tom Snyder! And 1981 seems about right. Man, I thought I'd never see this performance again! It's what turned me on to the Dregs and changed my musical path forever. Thanks so much for posting this! Post more if you have more!
it's about this particular video I have been a drakes and steve morris fan for over 40 years and a musician all my life myself however I'm a drummer but he is the best as far as guitar and music musician goes

Sue Schneider T is missed indeed. I cherish the times I spoke with him after the shows. What a nice man.
cool story Sue.. the only negative was you might have forgot to add ear plugs? I lost lots of hearing playing in garage bands with guitarists.. cool white pelicans in your yard video
Very cool! But what happened to the Miami scene?! I live here now and can't find players at all lol I must be born in the wrong generation.
@@SteveKaynan - Let me guess, it's all rap & hip hop now?

Used to see them alot in the 80's . Fantastic band . R.I. P . T. Lavitz
Saw them at Wake Forest University, the violin player had his leg in a cast and was still wailing away. Incredible musicians!
Rod with Rogers Drums baby! Lovin it!
I just don't understand why these guys didn't become at least as big as Weather Report. Man, what a band! 💖
They were big where it counted. I think they were a bit over-heated for something like movie scores - chopping heads with virtuosity only appeals to a certain crowd - us guitar weirdos? They kinda played themselves outta the "doctor office waiting room" segment of instrumental music. ~~~dat's one twitchy doctor~~~
Saw the Dregs twice. Steve Morse is one of those guitarist that gives you shivers just warming up.
they were way ahead with unsung heroes and industry standard....
+Rajkumar Rajamani Yeah, but What If they've been in Free Fall ever since? ;-)
(I'm kidding -- the Dregs have always ruled.)
to me Steve Morse ranks right up there with all the other great guitarists of the 20th Century including Al Di Meola , Albert Lee , Tony Rice , Chet Atkins ...just to mention a few ! his work with Dixie Dregs though is by far his best !
Didn't he win the Guitar Player Mag readers poll so often that they had to retire him to let others try? I may be wrong there...
This was from the year I graduated high school, and I love Steve Morse to this day! He is still my hero! God Bless Steve Morse!
Thanks for posting this so we can enjoy!
Just watched an interview, Steve w/ Rick Beato, Steve's got bad hands now (arthritis). He's giving it his absolute best, though, of course.
Used to play in Newt and the Salamanders with T Lavitz in good ole Traverse City MI back in '78/'79 right before joining the Dregs
Every single lineup of this band has been phenomenal. Dregs fan from the start, they remain my go-to band. Pick your version. Doesn't matter.
These guys are the best of the best for sure. I'm glad I have gotten to see them live a couple of times and I want to see them again and again! Their interplay just blows my mind. I love Steve Morse's acoustic pieces too. What a master guitarist he is!!!
I saw the Dregs in '81 at Chicago fest. They opened for .38 Special
I knew OF the Dregs but was not familiar with their music so their set that night was a great intro into their no holds barred fusion and Rod Morganstein's monstrous drumming
Steve Morse and Mark O'conner. Two prodigies.
Yes! Mark o Connor!my ex used to baby sit for him in Tennessee
doesn't get much better than this
no kidding
vegastyphoon Damn straight, bought their first album in 1978, saw them live 2x in the early 80's, small venues. Absolutely amazing.
This is amazing to watch Andy West with one of the 1st Steinberger basses.
Andy and Tony Levin were the reason why I ordered a Steinberger L2 in '83 ! Eddie Van Halen ended up with the bass I ordered from Nadine's Music and I had to wait awhile for the next one to arrive !!
This has to be the best performance I've ever seen of " Cruise Control. " Holy smokes that KILLED!!
I wish Steve Morse could get the Dixie Dregs for a reunion, It'll be so great to hear them playing again together :)
DesignPro2002 i would fly across the country to go see them
You've got your wish ..... I can't freakin wait... !!!! www.notreble.com/buzz/2017/07/09/original-dixie-dregs-announce-reunion/
Now is your chance. They are presently on tour! :)
This lineup of the Dixie Dregs was the very first time I mixed a live show on a JENSON transformered monitor split mix....lol I was scared shitless... 35-40 years later still doing audio and spoke with Mark O'Connor at Merlefest preCovid... I told him how intimidated I was that evening and he laughed like hell...lol these guys were quite the inspiration for me when I was in my late teens or early 20s..!
RIP T.
Big influence on my youth and music. Thanks for your part.
one of the greatest

Now That was some kind of bill!
Saw this tour👍 among at least 10 others...never a bad NOTE...always re-fried to my soul....

saw them 25 yrs ago and to this day i renenever like it was now. So glad to be going to see them CO
Only seen the Dregs once and Steve Morse when he was with Kansas. The man isn't human!
I met him and he is.
Saw these guys at The University of Miami this same year... Still cherish that day and vividly remember being completely stoked....
Saw them at Clark University in 1984. One of my all time favorites!
Just saw the Mark O'Connor band the other night. He's older now but still has those flashes of brilliance. It's amazing to think of how many lifetimes he has lived with The Dregs, Nashville Cats, David Grisman, Strength in Numbers, the list goes on and on.

Love them. Since the 70's.
Blown away, had the privilege seeing this classic line up @ The Golden Bear in Huntington Beach Calif 1981. Industry Standard Tour
I was never the same that nite after cold Heineken & seeing, hearing their technical skills
Analog Synths ruled!
RIP T. Lavitz! The world suffered a profound loss of your musicianship in passing
Saw Them a bunch late 70's early 80's they were the best band none knew about. Good time's.
Seeing this either makes me want to try harder, or quit altogether. Excellence is rare, but it is certainly evident here.
cool... guys should only consider quitting if they see a woman playing an instrument better ? lol.. if I am bored with practicing I find a better woman musician on line and that makes me practice my scales and stuff

Amazing - a truly unique high-energy performance.
Another great musician has left the planet. We'll see ya later, T

I saw them bunches of times at the Agora - favorite was Halloween! I lived across the street at the Howell House!
Gary Goggans I saw that Halloween show. There was a dude dressed up as a Quaalude. That was a fun show.
I met the DD on River Street in Savannah in the 70s... they were bad to the bone and I will never forget that day
Amazing !
Gokil...! Amazing...! :) love this band..
I'm pretty sure this is at Toads Place in New Haven, and if it was, I was there! One of my favorite bands of all time!
Saw them that year in a small club, lost some hearing for a week, but it was worth it.
I saw Steve Morse in Boulder CO at a place called the Blue Note on the Boulder street Mall. It was around 1987 or so. My friend is a talented song writer and bass player and right now he thinks Mark O'Connor is the greatest musician in the world.
Yes, this was at the Country Club in Reseda, (San Fernando Valley). The venue was the band's fave for a couple of years.
Morse could write and play his ass off. What a phenomenal achievement to have put this type of group together. Unbelievable.
LOL !! That's what I get for typing and not watching !!!! There's the OB-Xa to T's left @0:58--1:10 !!!! HA !!! He was sooooo damned good !!!! With Steve, Andy, Mark, and the always-happy Rod !!! Awesome musicians all !!!! Thanks for the happy memories, especially in light of the loss of T. R.I.P.
Good to see a vid of them playing at the Country Club in Reseda. Saw them there several times.
Wow. This is a pretty darn good band. I really like the guy with the long blonde hair. I heard about this band but never listened. I assume he is Steve Morse from the morse code family lossibly. Thanks for sharing.
RIP to the great T LAVITZ
Love those early synthesizers...
Funny, just before this video popped up, I was watching Lee Sklar play the bassline to Doctor My Eyes on a heavily customized/decorated bass; and my mind flashed back to seeing the original Dregs on their last couple of tours, where I was pretty sure Andy West was playing either an Alembic (?) or a Steinberger ---- and here is the Steinberger!
Another amazing product of the Universtiy of Miami. R.I.P. T-Lavitz....
Love those vocals.
Very nice! Loved it!
all I can say is wow !
Great band. I saw them once at an outdoor venue. After the show, I saw Seve Morse just off stage. I showered him with praise (as one might expect from a 17 year old budding guitarist), and asked him for a guitar pick as a souvenir.

Maybe, as one of my pro musician friends says, performers owe you their best performance, and nothing more, not even common courtesy.
Those trade-offs. Almost down to one note each, LOL. *MIND BLOWN*
This is one of my favorite Dregs hits: Cruise Control. Thanks so much for posting. If you have any more of this please post.
Saw them do this live at the Roxy, front row center. Blew my mind. Insane! Believe it or not this is a bit tame compared to that night. Thanks for sharing. And ya, RIP T Lavitz (very nice btw).
Thanks you guys. Glad you like it!
pedazo de musicos,,,, hay jazz rock a tope!
My sister dated Steve for a while back when they were a good local band (Dixie Grit) in Augusta, GA - my parents hated "the hippie." Who knew he'd turn in to this and more.

Oh wow! T Lavitz playing an Oberheim OB-1. Don't see those very often!
Thanks for posting it!
Nice video!! Keep'n rockin
ha! I saw this show in Houston... in 1981.
The best there ever was!
T
Seen Dixie dregs roughly 60 times first time was in NYC Central Park ..around 1978 or 1979 ... Opened for dr hook lol
This is the same year my Band chateau opened up for them at the Agora Ballroom!
holy shit T Lavitz!!
As they were when I saw them back then. I love the "FrankenTele"!! Note Steve's look of frustration at 2:40 after Rod picks up the tempo on his solo. Crew's "out of " Control, yet they still pull off a magnificent comeback.
You can hear him try to pull it back in and his solo and Rod wasn’t having any of it, lol.
This wasn’t a mistake, Rod was fucking with them.
He’s mentioned a timer to that he’ll will occasionally get very mischievous with the rest of the band.
R.I.P. T. Lavitz :(
this is unreal!
I turned my brother in law, (who played bass for the Pretenders before he died) on to this song when he came to New Orleans. He flipped out! Wow, you Americans are really something! is what he said.
Also, when I saw Steve Morse sit in with Paco Delucia, Al Dimeols, and John McGlaclin (spelling?), Steve was the star!!
What a nice band... such a pity that they stopped recording 18y ago..
Not really "bootleg" video--This is from NBC's "Tomorrow" show w/Tom Snyder! And 1981 seems about right. Man, I thought I'd never see this performance again! It's what turned me on to the Dregs and changed my musical path forever. Thanks so much for posting this! Post more if you have more!
Steve Morse - What More Can You Say..Now That's A Hot Rodded Tele to The Max...Mark O'Connor also Ruled Here with The Dregs...What A Band !
Let us not forget Andy West on Bass. Didn't see that in post. My apologies if I missed it.
What a freakin' display!
seen these guys perform this live in nc
Rod is some kinda drum God!
Tour coming this year.
it's about this particular video I have been a drakes and steve morris fan for over 40 years and a musician all my life myself however I'm a drummer but he is the best as far as guitar and music musician goes
Andy West deserves to be in the video headline as his bass drives the song.
Wow and double wow .. not much else I can say.
I'd place this video in 1982. That's when I saw them with Mark and also when Industry Standard came out.
With John Bonham on drums and Miles Davis and John Coltrane in the horn section.
Boy that's a jam.
@johnc925 Yes, that is Andy West on Bass. He is truly an Unsung Hero.
Definitely can tell were Jordan Rudess got his chops from. I hear Dream Theater before they were even Dream Theater
