I have the originals of those already but if they release 'em with interesting bonus tracks I might get them again.

I read somewheres that he was working on a new Living Loud album. I can't wait to hear that, the first one is one of my all time faves.

Morse's first solo album "The Introduction" has always been my favorite.

Particularly Cruise Missile, On the Pipe, and Huron River Blues:

I wholeheartedly agree! Awesome album. The second one (Stand UP) is my next fave (has Eric Johnson guesting on one song).

I won a free guitar lesson from Morse in 1992 when he was with the Dixie Dregs. The whole thing is a crazy story and I'll tell it some time. He is a very, very nice guy and quite humble. I have pictures but have no clue how to take old photos and get them online that are not digital.
A true guitar genius and hard to believe he's now been with Deep Purple for 17 years!
I don't know much about these if they are reissues or remasters though.

Wow, can't wait to hear about your lesson! That must have been quite a thrill. Do you play "too many notes" now? (heh heh)!

I remember meeting him after a show at the Chestnut Cabaret in Philly years ago. He was a really nice guy, very down to earth, just hanging out talking to anybody/everybody. He went out for cheesesteaks after the show and everyone was welcome to tag along! I wanted to go but the friends I was with didn't want to (dammit). That would've been a lot of fun and I've always regretted not going.

Hmmmm...the show that happened to me was at the Chestnut! Maybe you were there-and yes, they did eat cheesesteaks backstage and I was starving and he offered me half of his which I said was kind but way too nice. (I ended up eating fruit and in one of the pictures I'm eating an apple).
Also, as for the lesson-I am and always have been average. Better at writing than soloing which I suck at and never really tried to get better at. So, needless to say there was no way in hell he could teach me I mean, the guy was a master! So, I asked if we could just jam on some reggae thing my friend and I had written instead and he did (my friend a very good guitarist went with me). I'll never forget that whole night but there's much more to tell and I will!

Awesome stuff IP. We've probably been at a lot of the same concerts btw.

I think I saw Morse at the Chestnut a couple times, also with the Dregs (possibly with his own band opening up). The show I remember where he went out for cheesesteaks I think was another time than what yer talking about, possibly a later year than that show you were backstage at. I say that because I vaguely remember them talking about cheesesteaks like they had 'em a previous time, but this time they were deciding where to go (Geno's was the verdict I think). I guess maybe it's possible somebody just went down there and brought an order back, but if I went I would have eaten mine there. Nothing like a cheesesteak hot out of the oven!


[EDIT: Notice I misspelled Geno's as Gino's - that could revoke my cheesesteak lover's license]

Also saw Steve Morse at the Chestnut! Double bill with Allan Holdsworth on his Road Games tour (Jeff Berlin and Chad Wackerman), and Morse supporting The Introduction - 1984 or so. My two buds got in with fake ids, I didn't. Stood outside for four hours in the alley listening to the show from a vent. Morse's trio was the great Jerry Peek and Rod Morgenstein who we met heading out to the bus.
