Just another example of why the Dregs are such a superior instrumental band! This disc features music from prior Dregs studio albums, along with certain "cover" tunes. Steve Morse's guitar on "Kashmir" would make Jimmy Page weep of inadequacy, and I consider Mr. Page a good guitarist. If you enjoy incredible instrumental music in a live setting, this is your disc. Any other Dregs disc will give you the same in a studio setting. Enjoy!

I have over 20 instrumental guitar albums, and this is still as enjoyable as the first time I heard it ten years ago or so and one of the best. It's hard to describe, but it grows on you. I bought "Unsung Heroes" by The Dregs in a pile of cheap tapes just to see what it was and couldn't believe the songwriting and musicianship. Now to hear those songs live and played even better than the studio, is awesome. Steve Morse's live solo is so smooth. To me there is no debate between John Petrucci and Steve Morse. What a great influence to have though (and John is awesome too, but not at this stuff). I love the tradeoffs between the violin, guitar, and synths. There's nothing else like it that isn't a short moment at a concert that tires the band out and makes the audience sweat. The production is still top notch today, if you get any Dixie Dregs, Dregs, The Dregs, Steve Morris Band, WHATEVER, get THIS ONE first. I think someone already said that, lol.

Great Live Work From Dixie, 4 Nov 1998

This is a fantastic album for those who want an introduction to the works of the Dixie Dregs. The CD has material from several CD's from the past. If you like this CD go back to the originals and see where that takes you. Morse is master here with Rod Morgenstein showing why he is one of the world's best.
