"I have over 20 instrumental guitar albums, and this is still as enjoyable as the first time I heard it ten years ago or so and one of the best. It's hard to describe, but it grows on you. I bought "Unsung Heroes" by The Dregs in a pile of cheap tapes just to see what it was and couldn't believe the songwriting and musicianship. Now to hear those songs live and played even better than the studio, is awesome. Steve Morse's live solo is so smooth. To me there is no debate between John Petrucci and Steve Morse. What a great influence to have though (and John is awesome too, but not at this stuff). I love the tradeoffs between the violin, guitar, and synths. There's nothing else like it that isn't a short moment at a concert that tires the band out and makes the audience sweat. The production is still top notch today, if you get any Dixie Dregs, Dregs, The Dregs, Steve Morris Band, WHATEVER, get THIS ONE first. I think someone already said that, lol."
