OMG! NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD HEAR ANYBODY DO A REACTION TO THE DIXIE DREGS! CONGRATULATIONS! 👍 You look just like I did, decades ago, when I heard my first Dixie Dregs album! I'm a bass player from way back, myself... played semi-professionally for about 35 years. Anyway, long story short, one of the best drummers I ever played with was a double kicker out of Kansas City... he said I got a band I want you to hear and that was all she wrote... it was the Dixie Dregs! I knew before you even heard a note you were going to love it because I know you're a drummer. And if you're like me, your standards are set higher than most players, so get ready to go out and get everything you can get on the Dixie Dregs because you will pick up a ton of stuff off that drummer just like I did off the bass player, Andy West! FWI... Later on Steve Morse, the guitar player here, went on to form his own band called The "Steve Morse Band" check them out because it's killer like the Dregs! 😁
Growing up in Perry,Georgia in the late 60’s and into the 70’s, we were bombarded with Allman Brothers music. Then there was Sea Level which was a spin off of the Allman Brothers. Capricorn Records was spitting out some incredible music and then The Great Spectacular happens and I had never before heard southern jazz/fusion/country rock with the monumental skill level that was produced. The Dixie Dregs released Freefall and I was seriously spoiled at that point and that was around 1976. Have been a huge Steve Morse fan ever since and have met him twice.
I spent about 2 hours with Steve one night helping him fix his airplane that he was flying from CA to FL. I was a massive Dregs and Steve Morse fan for decades, but yet I didn’t recognize him until he asked my name and introduced himself after about an hour. I remember he asked, “what’s your name?” And I responded, and then he said, “I’m Steve… Morse.“ I paused and processed the information. I said, “The guitarist?” He said “yeah, didn’t you see my T-shirt?“ Truthfully, I hadn’t because it was dark out and I was kind of focused on his airplane. It must’ve been some sort of concert T-shirt or something. I actually don’t remember. We got to chat airplanes and music during the next hour. As a bass player, Andy West has always been the most influential bass player that I’ve ever listened to. And Steve Morse and Rod MorganStein are unquestionably some of the best musicians that I’ve ever heard. I was sorry when T Lavitz passed away, because as a keyboard player, he was also awesome. I have a couple of his albums also.
Great band. Saw them many times at The Catalyst in Santa Cruz, California. Steve Morse; guitar, Rod Morgenstein drums, Andy West bass, Alan Sloan violen, T Lavitz keyboards... mega talent all around
Me too. Were you lucky enough to see the show with the Steve Morse Band as opening act with Morgenstein and Romaine playing together during the Dregs portion?
Rod Morgenstein is an incredible drummer and also a professor at Berklee College of Music. Brilliant dude. For a lefty. :) Check him out with Jordan Rudess, too. He plays Premier drums, which sound different in their own way but still very good. I think his kicks are both 22x18." Probably shallower back then, which gave it a shorter time to "thumP' like a smaller kick.
Wow... I'm impressed someone suggested the Dixie Dregs so persistently. The leader of that band is lead guitarist Steve Morse, Andy West was the bassist on this album and the drummer is Rod Morgenstein who later joined an 80s rock band called Winger. I recommend you look into the Steve Morse band as well...great stuff. Also check out Spyro Gyra... another great all around music group.
I've seen the dregs once and steve morse g. 3 times. Absolutely brilliant guitarist, insane band. Tight as a drum. His solo work kills and his many years with deep purple have shown he is a legend. Won guitarist of the year in ”guitar magazine” for several years in a row. He's great at classical too. Dude is super humble too. Saw him another time at a guitar workshop show.
Try, "I'm Freaking Out". Notes of interest: Steve Morse won Best Overall Guitar Player in Guitar Players readers poll 5 years running and was put in the hall of giants, Rod Morganstien has won numerous Modern Drummer readers polls, and The Dregs won a Grammy for Best Instrumental Album for 'Industry Standard'. Man autocorrect is a bitch!
Nice job, damn I haven't seen anyone react to the Dregs yet, it's about time. They're all monster musicians and went to my fellow music school in Miami, got to hang out with the guys and see them live several times. Great job sir. 🤘
Hello Chod, Now you've started with them, you have got to hear more of the Dixie Dregs albums..."What If" and "Dregs of the Earth". Then, try some of Steve's solo work with the Steve Morse Band, starting with High Tension Wires. Trust me...You will not be disappointed! I've lost count of how many times I've seen them live since the late 70's...(well over 30), and they always deliver great music!! Be prepared for a variety of tunes...Progressive jazz fusion, funk, country picking, and good ol Rock! Steve Morse, as many have already noted below, a magnificent guitarist!!! I know you will become a fan!.
I remember when we had magazines, the Dreggs were out for a Lil’ bit and every player in the Dreggs were each on their respective instruments cover. So look up Rod Morganstien on that issue of Drummer magazine, should say something about the kit he was playing. By the way Steve Morse(Guitar) has been playing with deep purple for a few years. They have a diverse and eclectic style. The violin player, who was national Fiddle champion could follow on guitar just as easy! Saw them 3x and didn’t want my money back at all ! Always delivered!!!
The entire What if album is a masterpiece. You should start with Take it off the Top or Ice Cakes to start. My personal fave is Night Meets Light. Enjoy. BTW Andy West is the master on the bass.
I got to see them perform this live in a small club in Sacramento in the early 1980's. This was their encore number, and they finished it with explosive fire works that made my older brother jump. He remembers it today as one of the most impressive concerts of his time.
Steve Morse is all-around amazing. I would recommend his solo Tumeni Notes. You should check out the Dixie Dregs' live version of The Bash from their California Screamin' album.
If you want to check out a Dixie Dregs live performance, check out The Bash live at the Montreux Jazz Festival 1978. The performance is so amazing the first time I heard it I literally fell out of my chair
Always have loved the Dregs. We got a last minute slot opening for them at the 23rd Street Chestnut Cafe in Philadelphia. Met alot of heros of mine who turned out to be just human. They actually listened to our set and loved it and complimented us...we were honored to share the stage. They of course punked us musically...we represented but its the Dregs. They were very cool accessible people. Amazing band
Back in the late 70's I was living in the Cleveland area and listening the a college radio station out of the Akron area. They would play jazz at lunch time and they played an song from Al Dimeola's Elegant Gypsy album everyday. That song was Mediterranean Sundance (ua-cam.com/video/hhccIfevjCU/v-deo.html), an acoustic guitar duet featuring Al and Paco De Lucia that is mind blowing. Anyway, I just had to have that album so off I went to the local Peaches Records store. I picked up the album but I also saw a music news publication they had stacks of and one of the articles was about the Dixie Dregs and their newly released album What If. That article made it very clear the guitarist was someone special and that I needed that album. A few days later I was back to get the Dreg's Freefall album after loving What If. And my reading of the liner notes from Elegant Gypsy that talked about Al Dimeola getting his start with Chick Corea's band Return to Forever put that album on the shopping list. Elegant Gypsy, Romantic Warrior, Freefall and What if are still among my favorite albums all these years later. I've seen Steve Morse live with the Dregs, the Steve Morse Band and Deep Purple many times and he never disappoints.
First band I ever heard live. They were as good as on the ablum, at the time. My ears still are ringing from that concert tho'. Not kidding... it was loud loud.
Saw the Dregs several times in Birmingham, and once at an outdoor concert just outside of Montgomery. One of my favorite live bands because they always brought it!
I love the Dregs. Saw them at Jacksonville Univ on the Night of the Living Dregs tour. They killed it. Odyssey from their album What If is another great track, but they have lots of great tracks.
I think you need to experience some live Dixie Dregs. I'd suggest the title track from the Night of the Living Dregs album or Punk Sandwich or Country House Shuffle from that same album.
Each member in the band is phenomenal unto themselves. That being said, Steve Morse was Guitar Player Magazine’s Best All-Around Guitarist of the year FIVE YEARS IN A ROW (until they made a rule that you could only win 5 times and then you would be “retired” from the running).
I got one HELL of a speeding ticket listening to this song, about halfway through that rotating set of solos, I-40 through Texas, about 2:30am. Whole album rocks!! All instrumental, always been kinda partial to Refried Funky Chicken, myself.
I was lucky to have a buddy that was into to the Dregs back in my 20's, we even met them at a NAMM show back in the 80's & got to see them on several occasions in So Cal... Amazing Live!!!
Great to see this! So glad you enjoyed them, Chod. BIG fan of this band, and the solo work of the guitarist, Steve Morse. Some of my suggestions for them would be: “Twiggs Approved”; “Ionized” (from the Live California Screaming album); Also “The Great Spectacular”; “Road Expense”; “Punk Sandwich”; “Bloodsucking Leeches”; “I’m Freaking Out”.
That synth sound in the middle is actually Steve Morse using his volume knob after striking the note on his guitar. He didn't use volume pedals much. I like seeing musician's reactions. They get a different aspect of bands like these that most miss.
Oh, Chod? Say, Chod? My favorite band of all time is the Dixie Dregs. I know their songs like most people know Beatles songs. I've been digging into your channel since last September, only just now saw this. Watched with glee as the band won you over in record time, and beamed when you said "I have GOT to hear MORE of this band!" And then... I saw that this video is a year old. So I searched - but only this one reaction. So.....
I have seen of these guys twice here in Nashville once in 1977 and once again any 1994 both times were fantastic!If you like them you should check out their main influence the Mahavishnu Orchestra
Dude Rod Morgenstein the drummer. Personal friend of mine and he is the drummer for Winger as well. Listen to more if their stuff my friend and you will be hooked. I have been listening to the Dregs for many many years. I created one of most amazing instrumental art piece for Rod. He used mostly Premier drums. 3 rack toms and 2 floor toms. He was and instructor at Berkeley school of music for 25 years. I recommend doing more research on Rod and all the Dixie Dregs 👍🏻✌🏻🥁
Group leader Steve Morse was a big fan of The Mahavishnu Orchestra, and this group was a lot like a countryish version of that group. That whole bit where they trade 4's, then 2's, etc. is heavily influenced by the Mahavishnu Orchestra's song "One Word", which does that, and then has a great Billy Cobham drum solo.
Helloooo Chod, It's been a while since you've reacted to The Dregs and Steve Morse....Please. It's time for more!! May you discover more of what many below well know...They are GREAT!!! Peace & Love to All!!
Have always loved seeing a musician hearing the Dregs for the first time. These guys were the best musical band that have ever stepped on a stage. I saw them about 3 dozen times back in the day, and was blown away every single time...
This is the first version released on the album Freefall in 1977, but my favorite version another studio take they released on a subsequent album (Unsung Heroes) in 1981. It's shorter but a better interpretation IMO, not quite as stiff. And while you're there, check out other tunes like Kat Food and Rock & Roll Park. Killer stuff.
Around the time they were aroundm we were listening to Crusaders - The Second Crusade. Return to Forever - MusicMagic, and this. Alan Parsons - Tales of Mystery and Imagination Mike Quatro Jam Band - Paintings. You might like the latter.
It's been 11 months since this reaction to Dixie Dregs. Isn't about time your treat yourself again? You might want to check out Jeff Beck's instrumental album "There and Back" too.
Enjoying all your reactions. You got me, made me a subscriber. Love the variety, like what radio used to be like. 👍👍 Keep it going. The Dreggs? Oh yeah. Have you done YES "Gates of Dillerium"
This song kicks ass! There's an even better arrangement of it on the album Unsung Heroes. This one is great of course, but that one is even better. Other Dregs tunes you might like are Punk Sandwich, Long Slow Distance, The Riff-Raff, Old World, What If, Gina Lola Breakdown....
Gotta do some solo Morse. like "Collateral Damage" or "Runaway Train". He has so much out there. Great guitarist. If you like his stuff then you need to also check out a more recent guitarist John 5. He can play virtually any genre, but you might start with "Sugar Foot Rag". Then check out Paul Gilbert with "Paul Vs. Godzilla". The of course you might check out "Jeff Beck" with "Behind The Veil"
Not sure if you knew this or not, Chod. But the drummer for this band was the same guy who played drums for the band Winger. His name is Rod Morgentein....or Morgenstern....? Not sure. Anyway, a very good drummer.
"i'm Freaking Out" off the 'Dregs of the Earth' album is one I think you would enjoy. Dregs are top notch musicians, and Rod is a freaking bad dude on the drum kit. Also they had some of the worst album covers, but as you know the music makes up for it 100x.
You grinned the whole damn time. I bought a Fender guitar, in 1982, based on Steve Morse's endorsement. Glad you found this one! Enjoyed watching you enjoy it.
OMG! NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD HEAR ANYBODY DO A REACTION TO THE DIXIE DREGS! CONGRATULATIONS! 👍

Seriously underappreciated band,.
Great band. Saw them many times at The Catalyst in Santa Cruz, California. Steve Morse; guitar, Rod Morgenstein drums, Andy West bass, Alan Sloan violen, T Lavitz keyboards... mega talent all around
California was really good to the Dixie Dregs. Probably not what was first expected.
Me too. Were you lucky enough to see the show with the Steve Morse Band as opening act with Morgenstein and Romaine playing together during the Dregs portion?
Me too! May have seen you at their shows (Them and Leo Kotke)
Rod Morgenstein is an incredible drummer and also a professor at Berklee College of Music. Brilliant dude. For a lefty. :) Check him out with Jordan Rudess, too. He plays Premier drums, which sound different in their own way but still very good. I think his kicks are both 22x18."

Jelly Jam
Crazy uptempo track!
"What If" is the best Dixie Dregs album to my ears. A true classic
What If and Dregs of the Earth are the 2 I recommend to people.
Wow... I'm impressed someone suggested the Dixie Dregs so persistently. The leader of that band is lead guitarist Steve Morse, Andy West was the bassist on this album and the drummer is Rod Morgenstein who later joined an 80s rock band called Winger.

Steve morse one of the great guitarists. I got to see the dixie dregs at a tiny club in san rafael, ca. Great show.
Nice job, damn I haven't seen anyone react to the Dregs yet, it's about time. They're all monster musicians and went to my fellow music school in Miami, got to hang out with the guys and see them live several times. Great job sir. 🤘
Yes. I too was blown away by the reaction to the dregs. I miss those days. good choice.
Hello Chod,

Steve Morse, the guitarist, is in the current incarnation of Deep Purple. He was also in Kansas for a little while.
I remember when we had magazines, the Dreggs were out for a Lil’ bit and every player in the Dreggs were each on their respective instruments cover. So look up Rod Morganstien on that issue of Drummer magazine, should say something about the kit he was playing. By the way Steve Morse(Guitar) has been playing with deep purple for a few years.

The Dregs!! "Take It Off The Top" and "Refried Funky Chicken"
The entire What if album is a masterpiece. You should start with Take it off the Top or Ice Cakes to start. My personal fave is Night Meets Light. Enjoy. BTW Andy West is the master on the bass.
My favorite band of all time

Long Slow Distance r Cruise Control I'M Freaking Out awesome Dreg songs ....
Taking that bass for a walk. Saw them several times back in the day. Excellent

This is my group bro. I saw them live in the early 80s. They have tons and tons of amazing songs

I got one HELL of a speeding ticket listening to this song, about halfway through that rotating set of solos, I-40 through Texas, about 2:30am. Whole album rocks!! All instrumental, always been kinda partial to Refried Funky Chicken, myself.
Steve Morse and the boys shredded it way back used to love these guys music 40+ years ago.
I was lucky to have a buddy that was into to the Dregs back in my 20's, we even met them at a NAMM show back in the 80's & got to see them on several occasions in So Cal... Amazing Live!!!

Nice reaction! The whole "Unsung Heroes" album is incredible.
This version is from the Free Fall LP. I prefer their version from Unsong Heroes.

Best reaction I’ve seen. Just saw him last night in Red Bank. Incredible show.
Remember now, this all came out on vinyl. I feel ya, buddy
Jazz - Rock - a little Country with a whole lot of talent.
I saw them in 78 in Portsmouth Virginia. They opened for Blackfoot

You might also like Joe Satrioni. “Surfing with an Alien” or Jeff Beck “Wired”. Keep it up.
These guys used to live just up the road from me. lol. Great players all top shelf. Great to finally see someone react to them.
Helloooo Chod,
It's been a while since you've reacted to The Dregs and Steve Morse....Please. It's time for more!!
May you discover more of what many below well know...They are GREAT!!!
Peace & Love to All!!
Have always loved seeing a musician hearing the Dregs for the first time. These guys were the best musical band that have ever stepped on a stage. I saw them about 3 dozen times back in the day, and was blown away every single time...
Yup, Dixie Dregs with Steve Morse on the guitar :))
This is the first version released on the album Freefall in 1977, but my favorite version another studio take they released on a subsequent album (Unsung Heroes) in 1981. It's shorter but a better interpretation IMO, not quite as stiff. And while you're there, check out other tunes like Kat Food and Rock & Roll Park. Killer stuff.
Steve Morse is an absolute monster on guitar.
Your music mirrors your mind
You're the first to review Dixie Dregs Thanx!
Around the time they were aroundm we were listening to
Crusaders - The Second Crusade.
Return to Forever - MusicMagic, and this.
Alan Parsons - Tales of Mystery and Imagination
Mike Quatro Jam Band - Paintings.
You might like the latter.
This drummer is hot...he also was/is the drummer in Winger; but the Dregs came first, I believe.
This song is 😊😊😊😊! Nice reaction.👍
Sent here by Ward Carroll, and much appreciated!
Rod, Steve and Co.!!! Keep going!
Also a band called Flying Colours
Little Mahavishnu Orchestra vibe ❤️🔥
Sick!!! Jazzy style funk
It's been 11 months since this reaction to Dixie Dregs. Isn't about time your treat yourself again?
You might want to check out Jeff Beck's instrumental album "There and Back" too.
Steve Morse and this band jams.
Enjoying all your reactions. You got me, made me a subscriber. Love the variety, like what radio used to be like. 👍👍 Keep it going. The Dreggs? Oh yeah.
Have you done YES "Gates of Dillerium"
This song kicks ass! There's an even better arrangement of it on the album Unsung Heroes. This one is great of course, but that one is even better. Other Dregs tunes you might like are Punk Sandwich, Long Slow Distance, The Riff-Raff, Old World, What If, Gina Lola Breakdown....

You wanna go fusion?? Check out "On The Pipe" by Steve Morse (guitarist for the Dixie Dregs) and also Alan holdsworth song "Metal fatigue"
Awesome show
They are super human types.
Not sure if you knew this or not, Chod. But the drummer for this band was the same guy who played drums for the band Winger. His name is Rod Morgentein....or Morgenstern....? Not sure. Anyway, a very good drummer.
Steve Morse is the ULTIMATE guitarist!
The Dregs are incredible. I suggest you check out the band Kansas. Similar to this song they also incorporate the electric violin.
Good
Same album, TRY THE SON CAT FOOD!
THE FUNKIEST SONG EVER.
Dixie dregs the greatest band you've never heard of 😮
Yeeeeah! Musik😊😊😊😊 . This guys are awesome! Please react also to Jean-Luc-Ponty ! 😌👍
Listen to Dixie Dregs "Full Circle". Listen to "Ionized" or "good intentions". Incredibly good music.
First time listening to this band. Did I hear a fiddle/violin?
Yes you did!
@@ethelynchristopher6995 Thanks!
Wow, I totally forgot about these guys.
"i'm Freaking Out" off the 'Dregs of the Earth' album is one I think you would enjoy. Dregs are top notch musicians, and Rod is a freaking bad dude on the drum kit. Also they had some of the worst album covers, but as you know the music makes up for it 100x.
☮️💜
You grinned the whole damn time. I bought a Fender guitar, in 1982, based on Steve Morse's endorsement. Glad you found this one! Enjoyed watching you enjoy it.
Since you are a drummer, check out the group Four80east from their album Roll On doing "Never the Same Way Twice. They are a Jazz Rock Band. Groovy.

Chod, here’s another blind side: Ian Dury & The Blockheads, “Reasons to Be Cheerful, Part III” The longer version (6:40) is the better one. Thanks!
1st ....Never heard of this band.. Musically similar to Jeff Beck, in my opinion.
This version is from the Free Fall LP. I prefer their version from Unsung Heroes.

If you think this is good, you need to check out Snarky Puppy's song Lingus!!

Good DD choice but not great. Off the "What if" album "Ice cakes", "Travel Tunes" and "Odyssey". BELIEVE ME those songs smoke!!!
If you're in a cover band that can perform this song, you need not be a cover band any longer. ;-)
Try "I'm Freaking Out" from them (link attached)
Another masterpiece
Everyone in this group is a major talent!
