I grew up on the dreggs, ihave all of the original records, my wife and as teens never missed a show! Thank you for loving the dregs. This was my favorite line up! Srata. Steve rod Andy tla Alan
tight. Tight. TIGHT! Better live than recorded ... Punk Sandwich is an excellent example of that. When you first heard it on disc, you just KNEW you couldn't wait to see it live. Their live shows were incredible, but the BEST thing to watch was how these guys mesmerized people in their audience who were not familiar with their music.
@LanceHelmutMan the memories.I remember watching him jam in a garage as a 12 year old and he was all over the map,Stones,Yardbirds,Rationals...At the time I had no idea what I was witnessing.Academically he was a genius and I always felt the best thing he ever did was move from the midwest.I first saw the Dregs in '79 and I thought the same thing,wondering how many wannabe guitar heros in the audience hung it up that night for day jobs.His parents deserve alot of credit for supporting him.
@LanceHelmut Sorry, I got mixed up. The violinist was Allen Sloan, The drummer was Rod Morganstein. He later played for Winger (which I could never figure out).
some very good stuff here, have you heard French guitarist Patrick Rondat, or young Englishwoman Jess Lewis. try her clip of Larry Carltons Room 335 the long version and the tune Twilight by Patrick, . Cool to see people with good ears and open minds here on you tube,it seems a bit rare these days..
that's funny you said that because I just had my dad listen to Umphrey's today and he told me to look up this song lol I'm actually going to see UM in Columbus tomorrow night!!!
He's remains a world-class musician and one of my favorites behind the kit. Some of the duet stuff he's done with Jordan Rudess (Rudess/Morgenstein Project) is about as close as it gets. Stuff like /watch?v=RgDTjd4TL4o I really dig his other side projects (Platypus, Jelly Jam, Jazz Is Dead) as well.
Good God! What an amazing performance, minus some mix/equip glitches. I've known of Steve Morse for quite some time (I play the guitar, and he's tough to ignore) but I've never really delved into his period with the Dixie Dregs. If this performance is any indication, I've really been missing out. Amazing, challenging, but entirely listenable music. Skillfully, and (more importantly) passionately executed. I'm sure there are musicians of this calibre somewhere out there today, but WTF are they?
@LanceHelmut Do you mean Steve Morse? I knew him as a kid in Ypsilanti, Michigan before he moved to Georgia. He played in a band called the Plagues.I remember his guitar was as big as he was.
Andy West and Rod on drums...this live version is faster and just amazing version. Yes, the guitar is WAY down in the mix which is very dissappointing, but still this is a treasure for Morse/Dregs fans.
As someone who is new to the Deggs, I actually liked it a lot with Steve down. His soloing during the main riffs came out as comping in an elaborate way. Maybe not intentional, but pleasing to the ear at least.
@LanceHelmut I always thought Rod Morgenstein ranked right up their with the greats. Why he never had much of a solo career after the Dregs is beyond me.
@LanceHelmut Read my post below the video of the Dregs live performance of Odyssey at the House of Blues in 2000. A nice anecdote about Steve's early music career in my middle school band's clarinet section.
Violinist Allen Sloan went to medical school in Georgia and did a residency in anesthesiology but would leave the hospital from time to time to still tour with them.
@LanceHelmut This will be my last email and I promise to quit bugging you. I have spoke with Steve a handfull of times since that 1979 concert and one thing I will say about him is that he has always been remarkably humble, down to earth, and friendly. Others from the old neighborhood in Ypsilanti have always said the same thing about him.
I have this DVD, and unfortunately, the mix on this first cut was not very good to say the least. But by midway through the second cut the sound technicians had everything dialed in and the rest of the show rocked.
@@edwinearl4584 No. Wrong. Do a YT search on "1978 live performance". You will find many great live performance recordings. You say "the mixing board was on the stage"? Where do you see that?

I had forgotten how amazing these guys are

Saw this lineup in 1980(?) in Pheonix, AZ
I opened up fore Dregs twice in 1981!!!!!!! Whooooo! Scared but happy!
This song friggin' gives me goosebumps it's such an amazing song! Amazing band too!
How can it be a song with no singing???

The look on this crowds face at the end of the video is priceless. The dreggs were one of the greatest. They didn't know what to think.

GrowinGreen You need your eyes checked. They were bored as hell.
I'm so excited to see almost this exact lineup in a couple months. Well worth 400 bucks
Like? LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Steve Morse: guitar, Andy West: bass, Rod Morgenstein: drums, Mark Parrish: keyboards, Allen Sloan: violin
@LanceHelmut I always thought Rod Morgenstein ranked right up their with the greats. Why he never had much of a solo career after the Dregs is beyond me.
@motorcityquig Because he joined Winger.
@LanceHelmut Read my post below the video of the Dregs live performance of Odyssey at the House of Blues in 2000. A nice anecdote about Steve's early music career in my middle school band's clarinet section.
Rod became a drummer for Winger. Steve went to Kansas, Triumph and Purple. Smart career moves!
Violinist Allen Sloan went to medical school in Georgia and did a residency in anesthesiology but would leave the hospital from time to time to still tour with them.

I don't recognize that guitar. Is that Steve's old Frankentele?
Yep, the original.
2:08 , game on ..
Try Umphrey's McGee
At 3:20 Steve's ending solo starts. It is barely audible. Horrible mix. Great performance. Horrible mix.
It was 1978. Nothing was wireless, and the mixing board was on the stage. Of course the mix was crap.
