Excellent live performance from the Dregs..., 20 Jun 2000
By Ignaciocue - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: King Biscuit Flower Hour Presents Dixie Dregs (Audio CD)
This live cd captured a quite strong performance by the Dregs. You'll get straight rock and roll, country, fusion,some blues, and more... all performed incredibly tight by the band. In my opinion, The Dregs were one of the best ensembles out there, specially Guitar virtuoso Steve Morse, who can play any style in top form. He masters the instrument in an awesome way; even Steve Howe of Yes has expressed his admiration for his wide vocabulary, technique and feeling. Highly recommended.

Your Mind on Dregs, 7 Mar 2002
By spiral_mind - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: King Biscuit Flower Hour Presents Dixie Dregs (Audio CD)
Not content with blending jazz and rock as Miles Davis and Weather Report had done, Steve Morse and the Dixie Dregs stretched a little further by tossing some country, folk and even a little bluegrass into the mix. And if that last sentence gives an impression of a group of guys in flannel playing a barn dance, please don't be scared off; "The Bash" is the only real yee-hawing hoedown on this disc. The others range from hard hitting rock ("Punk Sandwich," "Take It Off the Top") to free jazz ("Travel Tunes") to rock with a Celtic touch ("Ice Cakes"). For those unfamiliar with the Dregs, it's a good introduction to their sound and a good overview of their first three albums. The energy of the performance would put most college bands to shame. And if you know the group already, none of the above should be a surprise.. I'll only add that the sound quality is quite good. Enjoy.

This is good--"Bring 'em Back Alive" is better, 20 May 2003
By woburnmusicfan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: King Biscuit Flower Hour Presents Dixie Dregs (Audio CD)
If you're a Dregs completist, you'll definitely want this live album, recorded in 1979 for the King Biscuit radio show. But if you're new to the Dregs, go with "Bring 'em Back Alive", a live album with better sound, song selection, and even performance. The song selection isn't ideal: all the cuts here are from the Dregs first three albums, and two of these ("Freefall" and "Night of the Living Dregs") were their two weakest albums, in my opinion. The sound man doesn't seem to know the material; for example, the keyboards often fade in one or two measures into a solo. The album picks up in intensity halfway through -- from the ballad "Night Meets Light" on, it becomes a much better album, roaring through rockers "Punk Sandwich", "Cruise Control", and "Take It Off the Top", and hyperspeed bluegrass number "The Bash". Earlier on, you get more of the Dregs' trademark variety: fusion numbers like "Freefall" and "Night of the Living Dregs", the funky "Ice Cakes", and country number "Moe Down". Most of the organ part on "Travel Tunes" is left out in place of a longer guitar solo. This is a 3-1/2 star album.(1=poor 2=mediocre 3=pretty good 4=very good 5=phenomenal)
