Steve Morse solo (mostly) on a mostly great stereo soundboard recording. Steve's solo work is represented by a 60 minute electric show where he is supported on bass by Dave LaRue on some songs. Banter between songs sometimes not very loud... but that's OK since it's the playing we really want to hear.
Northern Lights....from The Dixie Dregs...Free Fall (1977) is unbelievably beautiful, and technically stunning. A little volume overload from 1:35 to 1:50. Don't let that distract though, since there is great playing to follow.
Picture This...from the Practicing Musicians Vol.2 compilation (1995)
Jesus, Joy of Mans Desiring...a mesmerising version of the Bach piece
Jammin ...(on electric guitar + pedals) is the layered/looping guitar exercise. 7 minutes of extraordinary playing.
Bassist Dave Larue from the Steve Morse Band is introduced, to accompany Steve's acoustic on a few quiet but very busy workouts:
Point Counterpoint....from Steve Morse Band...'Southern Steel' (1991)
Little Kids...from Dixie Dregs...What If (1978).
Flat Baroque....from Steve Morse Band....'Coast To Coast' (1992)
Then Steve on electric and Larue on bass with a drum machine (Steve's friend, "Roland"):
Highland Wedding.... from Steve Morse Band....High Tension Wires (1989)
Country Colours.... from Steve Morse Band....High Tension Wires (1989)
Tumeni Notes.... from Steve Morse Band....High Tension Wires (1989) Wow!
Gina Lola Breakdown.... from Dixie Dregs... What If (1978)
Followed by a 13 minute Freeway Jam by Stu Hamm's band, joined midway by Steve Morse for some tasty licks.
