This show just gets bigger and better than ever.

I’m smiling the whole interview. I discovered Steve and the Dixie Dregs in ‘81 and was an instant and lifetime fan of them and of Steve. He deserves every success he’s earned. Steve is a GIANT, and one of the best players, composers and writers in rock. Great interview Pete.

Neal Morse, Steve Hackett and now Steve Morse, I take my hats off to you for bagging these great interviews with these monster musicians, keep up the good work, you're doing a great job 👏

Great stuff man! You’re a fantastic interviewer... nice to have a host who actually let’s his guests do the talking , without too much interruptions 👌🏼

PETE/ you are Quickly becoming a TRUE LEGEND in the MUSIC industry/ WELL deserved!

I have to say that the most impressive thing about Steve Morse isn't his considerable musical vocabulary and massive knowledge of the guitar, but the honesty, integrity and humility he brings to the guitarist role. Steve Morse is the gentlemen of guitarists--very much like Steve Hackett in that regard. Deep Purple has had more than their share of great guitar players--but never one like this. He's not just a craftsman. He's a true artist in every respect. In fact Morse was the primary reason I joined the Purple train in the first place. I didn't realize until after he joined how great these musicians really were because of their off-stage antics in their early history--and the Blackmore wars with the band. It's amazing how one player can take a group of gifted musicians--and help them step up to the next level. For a band who was once great, this band is now incredible!

Wow a total genius and a true gentleman

One of the greatest guitarists in music history,..PERIOD!

Steve is a living legend, unbelievable guitarist and a really great guy. All these millennial (so-called) musicians can learn a lesson in humility and musicianship from this awesome, super talented artist.

YOU ARE THE KING PETE; My gosh Steve frickin Morse.!!😎🤙

Thanks!! Steve is the nicest guy you’ll ever meet! 👍😘🇸🇪

Wow... grabbing the popcorn and a beer 🍺

Loved his work for Kansas 'Power' and 'The Spirit Of Things' or my favorites.

Purpendicular is still my favourite SM era Purple album. Great innovative riffs and fantastic solos. All songs are excellent. Thanks for the very personal and interesting interview, Pete and Steve.

What a wonderful man Steve is! No ego, very articulate, and a gentleman. No swearing and quick to give others credit. And Pete, you're a great interviewer. You ask good questions and stay quiet, allowing your guest to fully answer the questions without interruption. Not many can do that. But of course, being such a Kansas nut, I was hoping that you'd ask him about his time with them. Thank you Steve for showing the rock world that you don't have to be foul-mouthed to be cool. I really respect that.

Morse and Metheny, two of the very most important soundtracks of my 58 years. Gave me chills hearing Steve speak about Pat.

Morse, Hackett and now Steve Morse, you look like a little kid in a candy store... ...and who can blame you...Well done!

Steve Morse is the most down to earth guy I have met. I met him twice at concerts. He is very friendly and patient. He signed everything that people put in front of him and answered questions. He is extremely humble and kind.

Steve Morse-era Purple has produced some great albums that I can count among Purple's very best: Purpendicular, Rapture Of The Deep, So What?! and InFINite... Looking forward to hear more music from Steve Morse in the future 🤘

Steve Morse is a legend

Steve Morse's compositions and guitar playing give me the chills. Absolutely extraordinary!

Holy shit!

Steve Morse!!! Petes pulling out the Big Guns!! Thanks

Such a cool guy and great guitar player. Gotta Love Steve Morse!

Awesome! Genuine, honest man. Pete: you looked like you were in heaven with the glow on your face.

Excellent interview. The man's so humble, so generous with his praise, so articulate.

Words can not describe the genius of this man, there will never be another like him.

Holy shit Holy SHITTTTTT is this a guest or is this A GUESTTTTT THEEE Steve morse " I'm not worthy I'm.not worthy " only the guitarist from my fav ever band can't WAIT to listen to this a HUGE well done Pete for getting him on

Pete, you get the MOST AMAZING interviews! You are such a fantastic listener, which makes you a great interviewer.

I’m glad to see Steve doing well.

I grew up with the Dixie Dregs...Saw them multiple times in Augusta Georgia.....So happy to see how his career has unfolded and so happy for him.....

Thank you Pete...and Steve Morse. LOVED the interview.

It’s so fantastic that you can get these great musicians on your show. Having Steve Morse who I love, was just phenomenal. Thanks Pete! 👍

Great interview and Steve Morse, he just talks while answering the questions that it seems like an old pals conversation. Amazing knowledgeable and simple guy! Long Live Deep Purple!

The day I turned 18 back in october 1983 I attended a Mclaughlin/Delucia/Di Meola show with front row center seats and this guy, Steve Morse, opened up for the show. I was completely blown away by Mr. Morse and by the other 3 also of course. That night I managed to get backstage and meet all 4 of them. Mr. Morse was so nice and very accessible. He told me about the Dixie Dregs and the next day I took the bus all around the city of Montreal to find and buy all the Dixie Dregs albums I could find (they were kind of hard to find). Mr Morse is the most amazing and complete guitarist that I've ever heard. He can do anything on a guitar from classical to rock and progressive rock and country at the highest level. A true guitar legend. Thanks for the interview. That was a hell of an 18th birthday.

Thank you for knowing how an interview should work - Ask a question and sit back and listen to the answer. 💪😎👍

YES! Please more Deep Purple with Steve Morse, Deep Purple and Bob Ezrin! Love the last 3 albums!

Amazing! 26 years as a member of Deep Purple! Still releasing great albums

Holy balls! This is great! Thanks for the video, Pete & Steve!

Congratulations, Pete, on a great interview show! I enjoyed it quite a bit and it appeared that you enjoyed yourself, too. Thanks for being the type of interviewer that allows the guest to talk a lot and tell such great stories. Thanks for such an interesting channel.

"Long answers to short questions!!" That should be a new SM classical guitar album, Steve! I believe that style would be easier on your wrist!! All the best to you. I've hung on every note for >40 years.

Thank you for your chat with guitar legend Steve Morse!!🎤🎸🎵🥁

Wow ! There is Pete Pardo and Steve Morse together in the same show ! Awesome !

Phenomenal. Thanks to both of you!

Best interview yet ! Thanks Pete and Steve !

Steve is the best! What a great person and musician!

One of the most chill and enjoyable interviews I’ve seen in a long time. Well done, men.

Steve is one of the top 10 innovators of modern guitfiddle.

Fantastic interview ! Thanks to both of you !

Superb interview! Thank you!

Pete, you should be proud of your interviewing skills, they are a cut above. You ask great questions, are always prepared (you don't ask the trite or mundane), and always allow your guests to talk at their comfort level.

I was part of the back stage crew at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan when he came through with Kansas as part of the 1st Airborne Rock and Roll Division USO tour. A cooler, more level headed, slicker sum-bitch has yet to be created. I was doing backstage security as well as assisting the sound guy, Merle, and was completely full of myself with no reason to be. I noticed him hanging out- long hair and all- and puffed up my chest to tell him I didn't think he was supposed to be there, and that I felt it was best he leave. Instead of telling me who he was and going all "rock star" on me, he simply said, "no problem" and wandered off to the theater office. When hd came back out with the manager, and I was introduced, he acted like not a thing had happened, and treated me with more respect than he had received. Truly a class act

'Night Meets Light'. Steve's favorite and mine. I asked him and he told me that when I met him. He was happy and taken back a little that I wanted that composition played at my funeral some day. I'm a month older and he's the most humble polite person you'll ever meet and still working his butt off.

Congrats and Thanks by this wonderful chat !!! Steve Morse, Great guitarist and better person

This is the best Purple related interview I’ve ever seen. This isn’t a criticism of the other guys in the band or interviewers, but Steve just talks about the music and his experiences relating to the music, not the other stuff. And you just let him talk! This was great, many thanks.

wow! so happy for you to get this interview as a fans as you of music and deep purple i can't imagine something like this! ... nice job men!

An absolutely amazing chat. I can't thank you enough, Pete. Steve, you are easily among the best. This is less of an interview and more of two friends talking about the music we all love.

Congratulations and thank you very much, Pete, for delivering to us interesting and fun content and great interviews!!!

Steve saved my favorite band..

Thx Pete. Amazed by Steve's discography - goes on for days.

Great interview. Thanks Pete

Steve is unbelievable

Outstanding interview. Steve is just so down to earth and honest, his contribution to the Purple legacy cannot be overstated.

I have seen Steve Morse twice with Deep Purple . Great player . Fantastic .

What a great show Pete! I didn't miss a minute of this one.

Thank You Pete! I really like your interviews with great musicians. Your interview style is beautiful, letting every guest speak and finish in whole sentences, and it is when they speak out we can get the real interesting stories. I really like that you are so relaxed! Keep up the good work!

Wow, Steve Morse !!! Congrats Pete great interview !!

What a brilliant conversation! Love it!

Woah.........Pete! Awesome!

Great interview. Thank you.

Absolutely outstanding job!

I have seen and read several interviews by Steve Morse and as the years go by, he is more and more humble. Always has been. This is how musicians should be. Down to earth and humble, because they are aware of their value, speaking in a good sense about this awareness.

Magic Pete.

Great interview! It got emotional there already a few minutes in. Jon will forever be the Lord of this world.

Word must be getting around that Mr Pardo gives his interviewees plenty of welcome room to speak. Well done Pete, and what an engaging gentleman Steve Morse is. Top interview.

Pete, you're amazing!

Steve Morse, Deep Purple legend!! A really great guitarist!!

i knew steve back when we were 11-12 years old. we were in the same 6th grade class and he lived on the next block. he was the coolest kid around. it's been fun watching the success he has attained. he's always been a genius, even back then...

Amazing interview! Steve is a total legend and just about the nicest person in the world. His humility just makes him even more respectable. Great way to conduct the conversation, Pete! Your channel rocks, I’m grateful it exists

Another wonderful interview Pete. You do such a terrific job with all your shows. I sm going through your previous shows and have been introduced to many new bands or reminded about bands i had enjoyed when younger. Always look forward to your next show. Thanks for all your work with your shows.

Fantastic interview! Thanks.

Thank you for the interview, well done. I got to meet Steve at NAMM in 2014. He was so nice, generous and real. Again, great interview with a great man.

EXCELLENT INTERVIEW PETE!! I really enjoyed hearing all these stories. And thanks for letting the artist speak. So many interviewers are not very good listeners. You sir, know how to listen and also extract a lot of info from the talent you are interviewing!! Well done!

This was outstanding Pete. Steve Morse is a true legend and dare I say it, you’re heading that way yourself 🙂 love this channel. Keep up the great work Pete #legends

I've been watching your show for almost a year now and I enjoy it. This is a big step up. Morse has been a great fit for Purple and I know you are a big fan of DP as am I. Congratulations.

Thanks so much for this interview, Steve is the greatest, cant wait for the new album :)

It’s so awesome to see Pete interact with his heroes- first Steve Hackett and now Steve Morse

Wow, hats off for doing this excellent interview with Steve Morse. It was especially insightful to hear a bit about how Steve Morse & DP develop song ideas. We're very fortunate to have such as brilliant but relatable musician in Steve Morse, and a great interviewer in Pete.

Thanks for the video, Pete! You are amazing!! Regards from Argentina

I saw Steve and the dregs live in 1981. I have never heard a telecaster with so Much growl. Then pulls off real fast country Style licks followed by Al Dimeola style Shredding. Just unbelievable!!! I miss Steve With Dregs as well as with Steve Walsh and Kansas!

Wow! Congrats on a great interview!

Wow, well done Pete, what an amazing guest and a great interview. It’s great to see this channel grow into the juggernaut it deserves to be.

Thank you Pete!

Steve Morse is a gem. I have been a fan since the 70's. I love that someone so talented with such a great work ethic is completely devoid of arrogance. There's a good lesson there for some of these wise asses who think they know everything and can't touch this guy.

Awesome! Pete, THANK YOU for letting the interviewee speak... something a lot of interviewers forget to do, others sure could take a page form you.

Great intense interview. Very interesting. Thanks!!!

Well done. Thanks for rocking that one.

Great chat! I like how you let the guest speak and never talk over them like so many modern interviews. Steve seems like a good guy.

Thank you to both Pete and Steve for this treat. I was about to go to sleep and just thought I'd see a little of this and watch the lion's share of it tomorrow, but I was engrossed and had to see the whole video. Must've been a huge deal for you to get Steve involved, so well done Pete. Goodnight from the UK.

Well done, Pete. Steve breathed new life into Purple and continues to kick ass. A very humble and down to earth guy. I was lucky enough to strum his guitar when he thrust the face of it towards me on my 34th birthday during the Toronto stop of the Bananas tour. He then tossed me a pick. 🙂👍
