I've always been blown away by Jerry Peek's bass on the original, but this was...something else. Amazing skill on that stage. I kept looking for the extra guitar and bass player.
Ok when i was a young lad Dave Larue was the only local bass player i would pay hard earned money to see. I new he was special then & now hes off the hook!!!Good luck Dave always a fan! Peace
Add to the below,, Vic may be able to pull this off. I saw the Dreggs in the 70's but Steve had yet to write Cruise. I've been playing bass for 53 years so far, and I cannot even begin to come close to Dave. This is a one of a kind jam. Really the best on the planet. Give kudos to the drummer. He works his ass off. With out a doubt, one of the most complex,, music ever done.
Talk about that tight it's loose. In the pocket and in the zone cooken or what. Love the bass solo drums right there overall an excellent live performance. Oh and don't forget Steve the writer and guitarist. Bloody awesome stuff.
Apparently, Steve Morse 'never' took his guitar off during that Rush tour, according to Alex Lifeson. He said in an interview I read awhile back, Steve went everywhere with his guitar around his neck and was practically playing all the time. I saw 2 of those Rush shows that year! They were indeed amazing.
I saw the Dixie Dregs at a disco in Columbus, Ohio in 1980. I stood about 10 feet from Steve Morse during the performance. I was mesmerized. I couldn't believe they could reproduce the music from the albums live. They had an intermission, and Morse never took off his guitar (Frankenstein), and played it unplugged the whole time he was talking to my friends and brothers. The man lives to play guitar.
Steve is the man...I have everything he has done, including his stuff with the Dregs...what a genius!!! I saw him open for Rush years ago...OMG...what a talent!!!
This is a great performance of a Morse classic - check out the minute from about 2:30 when they absolutely rock ! In fact the whole DVD is great and Morse is a maestro. In about 2005 or 6 I saw Steve with D.Purple at London Hammersmith where I remember him making an absolute mess of the Smoke on the Water Intro. So bad was it that he actually stopped, laughed, apologized and started again - still laughing. We are all human sometimes ....
Wonderful. Steve, Dave and Van sizzle.But I love the original version with Jerry Peek; refined, restrained and tasteful. Anyway, awesome no matter who's playing in the SMB. Sure wish they''d tour again!!
Dave LaRue is a very talented bassist for certain. However, I worked with him before he was famous back in NJ and he was then as is still a conceited a-hole. Steve Morse who I also worked with is one of the nicest people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. Point being...there is no reason to be conceited when there are so many other incredible musicians on every instrument out in the world none of have ever had the chance to hear or meet. Tal Wilkenfeld is a bit stand off-ish but I think it’s because she is an attractive women in a male dominated field where women are sadly treated poorly more often than not. And Wooten can blow the doors of LaRue.
Listened to the studio version too. Steve very precise all the chops spot on. Amazing guitarist. Rod Morgenstein what a powerhouse drummer. Dregs roots run deep. Stellar, brilliant performance. Correcting my post. Van Romaine is the drummer on this live version. Forgot Rod is a left handed drummer with a reverse kit setup. Amazing how alike their styles are. Both are monsters at their craft.
Uncle!!! Uncle!!! I give I am convinced the Steve is the best fucking guitarist period when he is cutting loose like this he is unmatched everything he does is so tasty. Seriously he makes the others sound like they are just noodling. Paul Gilbert may be a close 2nd
Van Romaine is the drummer here. Forgot Rod is left handed and his kit is setup in reverse. Amazing how alike their styles are. Both are true monsters.
@nickerz65 perhaps it is because he has been surrounded by violinists....it certainly ain't Ty Tabor. And please dont flame the shit out of me.....I love Steve---been a HUGE fan for decades---but his vibrato must be by choice.
Steve gets a little ahead of the band in this version!,…but!,..before the next phrase!,…he gets back in sink!,… he’s not over practiced!,…but like Bach,…or Beethoven!,…he kind of feels like it should be faster!,…just Genius!
The chords & riffs are pretty much the same ( minus the occasional flub or extra note here & there ). The solo is completely different & off the cuff. So are some of the embellishments. The whole thing is much faster than the recording & in my opinion, more fun to listen to.
It's missing a note here & there & the timing is very slightly different in places but if you learn the album version you should be able to play it over this one & it'll match like 99%. Compare both versions on youtube half-speed & you'll see. Hope this helps.
Morse is next level great, such incredible technical skill yet his song writing is still so melodious and beautiful to to ear.

One of the greatest. Very identifiable. Has his own style and technique.
This song gave me an ear worm in 1986....still going....
Yes!!!! A faster tempo version of the original. Plus, whenever the band improvises, they land right back on the beat. True musicians...

Sensational! Steve Morse,Dave LaRue,and Van Romaine rock!!
These guys all "know" how "badass" they r, just a smilin and lovin every second havin a great time blowin everyone's minds👍🏼✌🏼️
I like Steve Morse play guitar , he is great musician on stage and studio. 👍
The Introduction is still my favorite of all Morse’s albums.
All of his albums are my favorite.

Must have been the era during the "Big White Shoes" tour. Great players... Have loved these guys for years. Inspired playing.
We all wore big white shoes in the late 80's - early 90's!
RMaidla
Ha! Nice. We called them "white high-tops" or just "high-tops".
Just think if they wore Sabbath shoes.
*Metal Fusion.* 😶
The Welding genra.
i saw this show, f**kin amazing stuff!!!!!! steve and dave and van, WOW!!!!!!

Power Windows Tour; I saw it in Pittsburgh!
If I played like that that's all I'd do also LOL!!

I saw him too opening for a rush. Wow!!
ดีมาก,well.ไทยแลนด์.แม่มุก.วา.แมน.เทพใหม่....
What a band!
STEVE MORSE, THE GOD OF GUITAR

Monsters!!!!
Sizzling. I LOVE DAVE.
Wonderful. Steve, Dave and Van sizzle.But I love the original version with Jerry Peek; refined, restrained and tasteful. Anyway, awesome no matter who's playing in the SMB. Sure wish they''d tour again!!
So tight and skilled. Wicked good!
That guys sick okn the Bass dammmss
I saw the same tour. Awesome!!
Dave LaRue is a monster on bass....Victor Wooten is probably the only other bassist I've heard that can stay with this guy.....my opinion anyway.
I like the Jerry Peek version. Indeed, I've been playing bass for 50 years and it's my fave solo.

@@NealVan Out of curiosity, how was he conceited?
@@NealVan Dave has always been very gracious with me and I'm just a fan, I don't play.
Percy Jones of Brand X would like a word with you....
Just masterful.
Amazing!!!!!!
@countrysamurai i saw that rush tour also alex has balls letting him, gary moore, and mr. big open for them...thats class
da lief im Ersten Programm noch Bildungsfernsehen. Grandios..
Dave Larue is a very nice guy to hang out with.
SAW HIM DO THIS SONG WITH JERRY PEAK, PLAYING A YELLOW GUILD BASS. IN DES PLAINES ILL JERRY BLEW ME AWAY.
On German TV in the music show "Ohne Filter" was played live! No playback!
So glad Jerry Peek left (one way or the other). The dude never even heard of the Dixie Dregs! Dave Laure is incredible

It’s like an out of control fire😁
Eeek! Beautiful.
This is really cool. But Jerry Peek did a good job on the original version, too!!!
I suppose that Jerry was who I saw in 77?
@@warrenosborne1539 in '77 that would have been Andy West on bass with the Dixie Dregs
A huge fan of Steve's for a long time but there are so many Jeff Beck echos in this clip. Never really noticed it before!
1 WORD, FREAKIN BAD ASS SHIT.
WHAT A DAMN JAM!!!!!
Three monsters!
Fantastic! Thanks for posting this.
Uncle!!! Uncle!!! I give I am convinced the Steve is the best fucking guitarist period when he is cutting loose like this he is unmatched everything he does is so tasty. Seriously he makes the others sound like they are just noodling. Paul Gilbert may be a close 2nd
Fuckin' Steve Morse RULES!! My (2nd) favorite guitarist.....
Some quasi Metal-Be Bop like phrases during the theme.
Great Drummer
Van Romaine is the drummer here. Forgot Rod is left handed and his kit is setup in reverse. Amazing how alike their styles are. Both are true monsters.
WOW! always amazing. Check out Guthrie Govan for a great show too
some bad mo fo's for sure..
dang
God dang.
Sounds like Steve's lead sound out front was put through the Peavey EDI-box instead of miking up his amps...
On the bass solo please keep the camera on Dave La Rue!!!
This concert looks like Chicago cuz I was there about the same time .....would be cool if I was right
4:44 BEST LICK EVER!!!!!
4.44? It makes sense, I was never able to pat my foot to this,, I always come up
Sounds stunningly like the studio recording as usual. What year?
+Heidi Montross Must be early 1990s
Actually it doesn't, as the recording came out in 1984 with Morgenstein, Peek and totally different instruments and equipment.
How often are there both intricate lead guitar AND intricate bass guitar in the same song?
I need to learn that Bass part. Anybody have it transcribed? (Not Tab, actual written music)
@nickerz65 perhaps it is because he has been surrounded by violinists....it certainly ain't Ty Tabor. And please dont flame the shit out of me.....I love Steve---been a HUGE fan for decades---but his vibrato must be by choice.
I just shit my pants! The best of Steve and the band.
I was there....Moonshadow Saloon....?
What's that??? Oh - a bass player!!! Never see those!
Faster faster
Viel besser als der andere Steve(Howe)😂
Steve gets a little ahead of the band in this version!,…but!,..before the next phrase!,…he gets back in sink!,… he’s not over practiced!,…but like Bach,…or Beethoven!,…he kind of feels like it should be faster!,…just Genius!
fu di da sso!!!!
Can 1 of u guitar heads tell me if hes playing it exactly the same as the original recording???????
The chords & riffs are pretty much the same ( minus the occasional flub or extra note here & there ). The solo is completely different & off the cuff. So are some of the embellishments. The whole thing is much faster than the recording & in my opinion, more fun to listen to.
allyourmoney
how bout the very begining, thanx

Tim Penfield the guitar solo is different but otherwise very close to the recording
11 brain dead people watched this amazing display of masterful musicianship ...hard to believe!!!
Eleven Blackmore freaks that can't get over he's gone.
Sounds like an inferior version of "cut to the chase" from the Southern Steel album.
absolutely no need for a rhythm guitar player
7 lousy guitar players got pissed off,ha ha
Fukum,, Jealous
Sorry Steve. As much as I love your playing, Danny Gatton would have melted you and without effects. Guitar straight to amp.
Turn that hippy shit down! 😶
I can't hear Ozzy at all. 😬
