"This live cd captured a quite strong performance by the Dregs. You'll get straight rock and roll, country, fusion,some blues, and more... all performed incredibly tight by the band. In my opinion, The Dregs were one of the best ensembles out there, specially Guitar virtuoso Steve Morse, who can play any style in top form. He masters the instrument in an awesome way; even Steve Howe of Yes has expressed his admiration for his wide vocabulary, technique and feeling. Highly recommended."

"Not content with blending jazz and rock as Miles Davis and Weather Report had done, Steve Morse and the Dixie Dregs stretched a little further by tossing some country, folk and even a little bluegrass into the mix. And if that last sentence gives an impression of a group of guys in flannel playing a barn dance, please don't be scared off; "The Bash" is the only real yee-hawing hoedown on this disc. The others range from hard hitting rock ("Punk Sandwich," "Take It Off the Top") to free jazz ("Travel Tunes") to rock with a Celtic touch ("Ice Cakes"). For those unfamiliar with the Dregs, it's a good introduction to their sound and a good overview of their first three albums. The energy of the performance would put most college bands to shame. And if you know the group already, none of the above should be a surprise.. I'll only add that the sound quality is quite good. Enjoy."
