STEVE MORSE BAND, THE: Live In Germany 1990: DVD NEW

By the early part of the '80s, pioneering fusion ensemble the Dixie Dregs were

put on indefinite hiatus. From its ashes arose a consummate power trio of

immeasurable, nigh unfathomable talent: The Steve Morse Band took

instrumental virtuosity to new and unprecedented heights. Fusing blinding

technical prowess with passionate and evocative song structures, the band

crafted a high wateramrk of 'lyrical' instrumentation as unique as it was spell

binding. Building upon a rich and dynamic creative style forged with the Dixie

Dregs, guitar 'sage' Steve Morse concocted a blend of intoxicating musical brew

he himself could only describe as "too rock for jazz." Rounding out this amazing

trio are bass master/wunderkind Dave Larue and mercurial drummer

extraordinaire Van Romaine. This DVD presents two scintillating live

performances, culled from the vaults of German televisions' Ohne Filter show.

Whether you're a fan of the band, of exciting instrumental music, or just curious

and daring, I implore you to plunge yourself head first into the breathtaking audio-

visual experience of The Steve Morse Band. - Darren Tucci
