Dixie Dregs

Dregs and Steve Morse Band were both in great form (they always are) in a wonderful venue. The words "not a bad seat in the house" are very much accurate re this modest sized (965 seats) hall, which feels even more intimate than the capacity would suggest. Great staff, easy access, very convenient parking and other features made our first show at Charleston Music Hall well worth the three and a half hour drive. We'll definitely go back, though I can't imagine any acts that could provide the instrumental virtuosity of these performers. I've been going to Dixie Dregs concerts since 1977 and they are consistently masterful musicians - this was as fine a show as I've ever seen. I just hope this tour is sufficiently satisfying for the musicians to lead them to do it again before long. Their last tour was in 2018, so it would be great if they are ready to hit the road another time without waiting six years. Thank you, gentlemen, for many years of magical experiences in your fusion of jazz, classical, country/bluegrass, funk and, above all, ass-kicking rock.

I've been attending concerts for over 50 years -- over 600 shows from small clubs to 250,000 attendance festivals. I've seen the legends of Rock History -- Led Zep, Pink Floyd, The Who, Rolling Stones, Allman Brothers, Clapton, Stevie Ray, Black Sabbath, Rainbow, and Judas Priest. As well as the Prog Rock titans -- Yes, King Crimson, U.K., Kansas, Camel, ELP, Rush, Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater, Opeth, Radiohead, The Pineapple Thief, Riverside....the list goes on and on. But note for note, and riff for riff, the Dixie Dregs and the Steve Morse Band is right up there with the elite of the elite. For 3 straight hours, Morse and his bandmates literally had the crowd in a trance, jaw open and baffled at the sounds they were creating. These musicians have not missed a beat from the first time I saw them 45 years ago; and, with Jordan Rudess joining them for the first time since the mid-1990's, I felt like I had stepped into a time machine and gone back in time 30 years. I implore any music fan to run, don't walk, to the closest venue left on this tour. Trust me...you will not regret it.

The Dixie Dregs delivered over an hour and a half of their own brand of prog rock, jazz, country, rockabilly. After all these years, still impossible to put them in a particular 'style box.' Run, don't walk, to see this band.

Amazing show as always. So great to see the guys continuing to produce at such a high level. Mind-blowing show. Shout out to the Carolina Theater as well. The hospitality, the beauty of the venue, and the spirit of the place is amazing!

The show was amazing. I honestly wasn't expecting a lot. I mean, these guys are older than me, and I'm a relic. But the song selection was perfect, the playing was masterful, and the whole show had great energy. I loved it. My only complaint is that the sound engineer was not very good. Fortunately it's a great sounding room and the mix wasn't loud enough to be a real problem.

Incredible!!!

Excellent show and a great venue. They need to tour again!

Awesome

Righteous Show...

Seen them over a dozen times and even though Steve appeared to be in pain from his right hand (and not his “rock” faces) I know the difference too, this being a fair we’ll tour it was among their best shows ever. Thanks Andy, Steve, Rod, Dr Sloan and of course Steve Morse, thank you all for your dedication to make this send off one for the books! Your music changed my life.

Why won’t this program allow me to give this concert a full 5 Stars?? They were amazing. Steve and company were as tight as ever. Having seen them about 12 times in the way back past, I was very impressed with this concept. Truly an incredible experience to watch these brilliant musicians play.

Great show! Steve Morse was phenomenal, but a bit too loud. The drummer hasn't lost a lick, nor has the keyboardist or violinist!

Phenomenal

More than excellent! Great music, great performance.

My wife and I really enjoyed the Dixie Dregs!! They really challenged themselves with the song selection. Having to play like their younger selfs was interesting. Some bits changed and found a new charm and character not heard previously. I really love these guys! Really down to earth good guys who you could see and feel the love they have for each other. Thank you for a tremendous memory and for not blowing my ear drums😄. Peace, til next time we meet. Ps The Bell Auditorium is a great venue!

This was one of the best concerts I’ve ever experienced!
