What is your favourite Dixie Dregs Track?

[chrisglancy]

When I interviewed John Petrucci he said that Steve Morse was one of his biggest influence and said that 'the bash' is the inspiration behind honing in on his killer alternate picking teqhnique.

I was very familiar with Morse's solo stuff like Major Impacts I + II, Prime Cuts etc

Also Deep Purple

The Dixie Dregs are so far out,

I love Violin with guitar, works so well!

Thanks for these tracks guys I will load them into the playlist for my show.

"Night Meets Light" is one of my favorite Dregs tunes. One of the greatest bands of all time!

[Victrola]

hi folks,

it's been awhile since I dropped in....

I saw the subject header and just couldn't resist. Of course, Tommy in Delaware (hi Tommy!) is very knowledgeable and btw does a pretty decent impression of Steve on guitar....

however, I digress. My favorite studio CD from the Dixie dregs is Unsung Heroes; but hell, I say get 'em all.

Favorite songs off the top of my head:

What If
Odyssey
Gina Lola Breakdown
Bloodsucking Leeches
Vitamin Q
Up in the Air
Cruise Control (either live version or the studio version from Unsung Heroes)
Rock n Roll Park
Go for Baroque
Attila the Hun

night meets light
the bash

[Butch Snyder]

If I had to pick only one, it would be Assembly Line; hands down.....

But as for other stuff Steve has played on, one of my alltime faves is the main solo from "La Villa Strangiato" from the version he played on...

Thanks to my buddy Keith Baim who bought me a CD at the Steve Morse/ Dregs show last January (in San Juan Capistrano) I can now say that my favourite Dregs track is

Ionized!

The one I have heard the most though is Take It Off The Top - it was the theme tune to "The Friday Rock Show" in the UK for many years when I was growing up (and before I knew who Steve was).

My personal favorites:

Ice Cakes
Night Meets Light
Pride of the Farm
Cruise Control
Assembly Line
(forget name) the polyrythmic (6:4) tune from the last album with the Eric Johnson-type ostinato motive with a Celtic feel
