Steve kinda comes across like he thinks he's great...or at least the song is soooo important.I'd rather listen to one of Paul Kossoff's heart felt notes than Steve's BAZILLION
@70goldtop You couldn't be more wrong. Steve is the very opposite of what you say. He is as humble as he is extraordinarily talented. If you met him, you would understand. By the way, it's very easy to do so. After every single concert he's ever given, he makes himself available for fans to talk and sign any damned thing you bring. Last time, he signed my Ampeg V-4 and chatted me up for 5 minutes, after which he set the amp to his normal stage setting for me so I could cop his tone precisely.
@70goldtop I agree that Kossoff is great, but to slag Morse is just silly. Steve Morse is hardly the show off. For the talent that he has, he should be more of a household name.
If it weren't for those fucking "B" strings...I'm like Morse - gotta be in tune! (He has an in-line tuner for his stage guitar and uses it between songs - sometimes in the middle of a song!)
That was so flawless. I've lost count how many times I've seen Steve in concert. I've seen Rik with Triump twice. Saw them as a new band in 1978 for only about $3.00. (Yes, I'm dating myself).
@SiberianMan2u same here bro, we were in the 8th row on that Triumph tour for 7$ at the outdoor amphitheater at San Diego State University.... it was AMAZING!
Steve Morse can play anything on guitar...Folk, Mambo, Heavy Metal, Brutal, Death, Gospel, Hip Hop, Celtic music, Techno music, he can do the Robot playing Tumeni Notes and he could make a breakfast for you playing Ice Cakes with his foot fingers.
@tiroso Well said. Steve has been so busy playing with Deep Purple for the past 16 years we might never really see him play Dregs/Steve Morse Band stuff again like the old days. He recently played a few nights with Dave LaRue and a session drummer at the Iridium in NYC but I saw a few videos of them and it wasn't that good. DP has been touring forever and seems poised to continue unless Gillan keels over. Now, far be from me to wish such a thing, but...I miss Steve terribly.
This is flippin' MONSTROUS! Look at Rik smiling during Steve's solo! Where is this from? Is it from a DVD that can be had online? Thank you SO much for posting!
Talent, musicianship, dedication to a craft. Stuff like this should be in the Smithsonian, buried in a time capsule, & beamed into outer space. Let's be honest, in today's world of fluff and reality tv mediocrity, people have no idea what "talent" is. This should be required viewing, instead we get, and no offense to the lady, Susan Boyle, Clay Aiken, Lee Dewyze....etc.....zzzzzzzz. Go to Steve Morse website and read his latest blog post, he's got some interesting things to say.
Nice! I've always wanted to see Steve play this song live, I love it soo much. His classical pieces are great to listen to and even more impressive to see him play. The problem with Steve is he makes it look so damn easy. I've just recently gotten a new respect for Rik Emmett. I've always know he was very good...but seeing his vids here makes me respect him even more.
pretty incredible stuff! steve has been in deep purple for years,while blackmoore plays this stuff at renissance Fairs,Rick emmet one of the best 80's shredders & singers,Triumph Live at the Us festival still a favorite dvd,
@mvesanen lol excellent point. I've been saying that for 15 years. When they started MMM, I thought at least there would remain one music station, but now that's a turd. MM has had a run on know nothing VJs since "Rick the Putz". Back then, guys like Steve A, M. Williams, and Chris Ward knew the industry. Hell, Ward's a prolific song writer. It's a real shame we don't have a REAL music station anymore.
Yes, I think this does have a little Gentle Giant vibe (although Gary Green cannot duplicate Steve's ridicuous soloing - no one really can). That being said, Gentle Giant is AWESOME. One of my favorites along with Dregs and Steve Morse Band. I was lucky enough to have seen GG live on one occasion and it was the best concert I ever saw. They broke up two years later - and of course have never played again (However, look for "Three Friends" on web for Gary Green & friends playing GG stuff)
You are a lucky person, having been able to catch GG live. I've only heard stories, w/them running around stage changing from instrument to instrument, all during the same tune. When I heard the IaGH for the 1st time, it was all over for me ;)
GG was mind blowing in terms of the complexity they were pulling off live. I agree, though, Morse/Dregs had a better vibe, for me personally, when it came to the rock-driven groove & he/they weren't too shabby either when it came to the progressive edge.
Rik is coming back to Texas in November - Dallas on the 20th and Houston on the 21st. Check out the websites for Poor David's Pub (Dallas) and McGonigel's Mucky Duck (Houston) for ticket info.
My vote's for the "Unsung Heroes" ensemble. I really admire Mark O'Connor, but I think he wasn't the best fit. LOVED with with the Grisman bluegrass quintet!
@00s00m Dregs were always good no matter the lineup. Dave LaRue never played with the Dregs per se, although he did play concerts with them - always when doing a double bill with the Steve Morse band. Dregs were always Steve, Rod Morgenstein, Andy West, and Allen Sloan, with keyboard players Parrish then Lavitz, with violinists Mark O'Connor and then Jerry Goodman when Sloan bowed out (no pun intended?). Always loved the original band with Sloan, but cannot deny O'Connor and Goodman's chops.
I think Steve went to University of Miami too & taught there. He is a long-time pilot of his own twin-engine planes & flies his family to gigs himself. He quit touring some years ago & became a commercial airline pilot. A few years later & he's back making beautiful & amazing music again. I've been a fan since 1979. This song does have a Steve Howe style to it. Rik is awesome. Saw Triumph back in the day. Good post!
well you're comparing two different genres of music... Korn sucks regardless in my opinion. but not every band out there is gonna play stuff like this. its like saying Tupac sucked because he didn't right symphonies like Beethoven.
that is a matter of personal opinion. but you misread what i typed. im not trying to start an online argument because its pointless. its just that people like Durdmiester don't understand the concept of music and how people use it to express themselves. not every musician in the world is going to write music like this. if they did then music would be very 1 dimensional, and boring.
I remember watching Morse play an acoustic solo opening set for the trio of John McLaughlin, Al DiMeola, and Paco de Lucia, 3-4 years before this, when they toured supporting their second recording together. he joined them later in their set. his playing has always been stupefying, but it my be even more startling to hear on an acoustic. it's genius-type stuff.
@truthero Saw Steve as well on that tour in Hartford, CT. As much as I love the other three, Steve kicked ass on all of them. He was supposed to cover for DiMeola when he dropped out, but AD was able to come back and Steve was out. He arranged to play with them anyway (at greatly reduced pay) as the opening act, joining them at the end for a few songs. The only reason I went was to see Steve; the others just had a cock fight. Morse rules!
pray for bob hickman-hollie showed record, bob i will persecute you until you perish, I the Lord take pleasure in torturing my children to make them backslided, teeasing, deseasing, gums, causing hair loss, caressing penus, making face sag, bag, muscles tighten, when being used, like winking, hollie showed, record,
Actually, Rik didn't "lose" a B string - it was just was way the hell out of tune (sharp) and somehow didn't catch it before playing. I know for a fact that Steve is a serious stickler for tuning (witness him tuning while Rik does not) and was no doubt bummed out, as he mentions after they finish the song. Steve is also famous for using a tuner onstage: his guitar rig first goes to an A/B box that he uses to switch to a tuner between songs - or in the middle of a song if needed!
very classical music. . . is this MTV?? now they put a bunch of SHIT and CRAP ON MTV. . . this guys still kick ass to all the idiotic musicans on they have now
Damn they are good! I have seen Steve and was fortunate enough to see Rik with Triumph in Atlanta at the FOX!!! In '79...my God it's been that long??? LOL
Why don't you see these guys on MTV or VH1?......answer is: Because they have talent. I bet if Rik and Steve wore eye makeup and painted the nails black and had a stupid name like "Taking Back Sonething" they would be all over it......these guys are masters!
Everyone who comparing who's better should probably take into consideration that between the two of them their not even thinking about that kind of crap! If you ask either one their probably happy about the idea of just being able to play together. You know, the whole mutual respect thing? True musicians of that caliber don't worry about that crap.
In my "know it all" young idiot days used to be one of the "who's better that who" type people.
Now that I'm quite a bit older, and have seen guitarist come and go, I realize that every guitar player, whether you like their style or not, has something to offer.
I for one don't REALLY care much for country music, BUT I DON'T CRAP ON IT, because there are some really FANTASTIC musicians in country music that I have the utmost respect for.
This one is better, that one is better. Blah. Just enjoy it for what it is, sweet music played by two talented and nice guys. I for one am grateful to have even heard it, its beautiful.
My fiend when someone says that kind of things is almost sure it is conciously or unconciously trying to cover up for something he misses. Saying is your favorite because you feel more conected to his/her music is a different matter though.
Steve Morse is The Great One, to be sure. Rik did a fine job, especially since he's not the guy who did this tune on vinyl. That was Steve Howe. Emmett is to be commended.
This is not a Rik piece,with all due respect, he's holding on by the seat of his pants in case you can't tell. He did a fine job, but never jump on one of Morse's pieces of music lightly if you're the guitar player, it will humble you very quickly, it's among the most demanding stuff ever written. If you're able to get 20% of what Steve does you're doing pretty well in most cases.
DUDE!! are you on drugs?? Steve Morse is great, Rik's right there buddy, believe me, ive seen them all. Take a look at the other piece they did, i think Steve is tryin to hold on. Hey, they are both 2 of the all time greats! Steve is definately more technical i will agree. Cheers, Rob
I'm with robbieD09 on this one. Sure, there's no one like Morse, but Rik is on top of this, no problem. He doesn't just get by on it, he plays it beautifully. Morse is my favorite guitarist, but I've got a new found respect for Rik Emmet just watching this video.
emmetts one of my favorites too. hes just arespectful humble guy, but i no him, seen him twice live, he could do this in his sleep. and obviosly so can morse

Rik is the best rocker on classical guitar. Steve Morse is pretty damn good, and Alex Lifeson is pretty good also, but Rik wins hanfs down

Yup, he lost a B srting. I used to have nightmares about that happening to me on stage!

Actually, Rik didn't "lose" a B string - it was just was way the hell out of tune (sharp) and somehow didn't catch it before playing. I know for a fact that Steve is a serious stickler for tuning (witness him tuning while Rik does not) and was no doubt bummed out, as he mentions after they finish the song. Steve is also famous for using a tuner onstage: his guitar rig first goes to an A/B box that he uses to switch to a tuner between songs - or in the middle of a song if needed!

Robin Hood by .38 Special is also a song that reminds me of a great effort where the gutarists are all on the same page. Check it out.

Why don't you see these guys on MTV or VH1?......answer is: Because they have talent. I bet if Rik and Steve wore eye makeup and painted the nails black and had a stupid name like "Taking Back Sonething" they would be all over it......these guys are masters!

Everyone who comparing who's better should probably take into consideration that between the two of them their not even thinking about that kind of crap! If you ask either one their probably happy about the idea of just being able to play together. You know, the whole mutual respect thing? True musicians of that caliber don't worry about that crap.

THANK YOU! I hate when people compare guitarists. All my friends say who's better Ritchie Blackmore or Steve Morse. And I always say who cares!
girvan123 3 years ago 5
Thanx for the back up!
In my "know it all" young idiot days used to be one of the "who's better that who" type people.
Now that I'm quite a bit older, and have seen guitarist come and go, I realize that every guitar player, whether you like their style or not, has something to offer.
I for one don't REALLY care much for country music, BUT I DON'T CRAP ON IT, because there are some really FANTASTIC musicians in country music that I have the utmost respect for.
Thanx again...

This one is better, that one is better. Blah. Just enjoy it for what it is, sweet music played by two talented and nice guys. I for one am grateful to have even heard it, its beautiful.

My fiend when someone says that kind of things is almost sure it is conciously or unconciously trying to cover up for something he misses. Saying is your favorite because you feel more conected to his/her music is a different matter though.

Steve Morse is The Great One, to be sure. Rik did a fine job, especially since he's not the guy who did this tune on vinyl. That was Steve Howe. Emmett is to be commended.

Giudisho 3 years ago
This is not a Rik piece,with all due respect, he's holding on by the seat of his pants in case you can't tell. He did a fine job, but never jump on one of Morse's pieces of music lightly if you're the guitar player, it will humble you very quickly, it's among the most demanding stuff ever written. If you're able to get 20% of what Steve does you're doing pretty well in most cases.
BossCE1 4 years ago
DUDE!! are you on drugs?? Steve Morse is great, Rik's right there buddy, believe me, ive seen them all. Take a look at the other piece they did, i think Steve is tryin to hold on. Hey, they are both 2 of the all time greats! Steve is definately more technical i will agree. Cheers, Rob
robbieD09 3 years ago
I'm with robbieD09 on this one. Sure, there's no one like Morse, but Rik is on top of this, no problem. He doesn't just get by on it, he plays it beautifully. Morse is my favorite guitarist, but I've got a new found respect for Rik Emmet just watching this video.

emmetts one of my favorites too. hes just arespectful humble guy, but i no him, seen him twice live, he could do this in his sleep. and obviosly so can morse
