@DebrisHut - No, it's not a telly deluxe, though the neck might fool a lot of people. It's Steve's famous Frankenstein telecaster that he put together himself. Telly body, Strat neck, Gibson 335 humbucker at the neck, Synth pickup at the bridge, and a twelve string trapeze style tailpiece. Definitely an interesting guitar

oh these guys don't suck

@prinznevsky embarrassing, even worse than Steve Morse wasting his talent in Deep Purple for money. Musicians are just afraid to be progressive these days, they're tired of starving, especially in the USA. They actually have to go to Europe & Japan to make any kind of money at all.

@stevodod Dixie Dregs are about pure music, Van Halen is really about partying, sex & pissing off parents. Teenagers are only only interested in music in so far as it will a) piss off their parents b) help them get laid. Van Halen, being a loud & heavy party-rock band, fit both descriptions, Dixie Dregs fits neither. Dregs will hardly piss off parents & 9 out of 10 girls won't like it. Van Halen will piss off parents due to loudness & 8 out of 10 girls will like the party hard-rock attitude.

@stevodod ha ! right ! Maybe eddie shut up about morse at the time ! Smart , because its just not attainable for eddie to do this...most players today...couldnt cop this well .

You make a good point -cos i remember hearing this back in the day as a young player ..and being floored by it -but it just wernt 'cool " ...so i just kept it in the back of my mind ..all these years later i realize what a monster he was .Like him more here than purple ,but way before eddie ,yngwie ..there was morse !

And to think in 1978 we were all worshipping the groundbreaking work of Eddie Van Halen. How did this guy fly under my radar for 42 years? Amazing, for 1978, for anytime!

Andy's speech before the tune suggests that it is a "number of country tunes strung together", i e a medley. However the only recognisable melody I can hear is "Wabash Cannonball". Later versions suggests, included within this one "Rocky Top", "Freight Train" and similar. But the acutal "breakdown" in this tune, is it another tune, or one of their own?

tasty and true americana done with deserved pride by devoted players. they combine music scholarship with virtuosity, emotion and discipline and have a true gem to share with the world. i'm lucky to have caught them in concert at least once many years ago and for that i'm grateful.
