I hope his wife's health is improving, he's a unique player and human being. Great also to see Reb, a very humble guy like a Morse and a also very good player. Maybe Reb will endorse Ernie Ball.

Why what was wrong with Steve? Has he been ill? In any case , prayers

@@blndrckr His wife, Janine, has stage 4 aggressive cancer (lymphoma), and he's got arthritis in his picking hand wrist. The former is why he suddenly had to leave Deep Purple after 28 years and the former is why he plays differently than he used to when he was younger.

@@blndrckr His wife has been battling cancer.

Did he get booted from Purple!?!

​@@humanactivated1017No. He left to care for his wife who had cancer.

I often wonder, what would it be like to be the #1 electric guitar player in the world and still be just scraping by? It would be humbling, no doubt, and you'd have to have a lot of patience to deal with it.

Cut the long hair, Crypties!

....and WInger as well.

69 is not old - Jeff Beck and robin Trower never let age slow them down .

Steve had already written 6 Dixie Dregs albums and 3 Steve Morse Band albums by 1988, when Reb released the first Winger album. No problem with you praising Reb, but I get the feeling you haven't heard much of Steve's music.

@@davidespinosa1910 You "get the feeling" I haven't heard much of Steve's music ? Based on what ? Because I only stated "hats off to Steve Morse" ? I've been listening to guitar driven music for over 54 years and have been playing guitar for 43 years and have consistently been live gigging for the last 29 of those years. I am well aware of the work of Steve Morse. Please try to keep in mind how subjective based that opinions are in regard to music and guitar playing.

Your initial comment sounded to me like you were saying that Reb had been at it longer than Steve and possibly that you considered him an equal or better guitarist than Steve which then doesn't make it too much of a stretch that perhaps you weren't familiar with Steve's early work. 😉 Maybe try some decaf?

@@tonykrch357 Regardless of caffeine intake,..Citing that Reb Beach has been playing a long time is not even remotely implying anything in regard to Steve Morse as a player or his career length.

I noticed that giant smile too!

Outstanding❤❤❤

Drummer is Van Romain, I believe.

Damn, what a show!!! And ole Dave LaRue just laying down the Thunder!! Terrific!!!

I recall you in the front row. Your video seems nicer. Also, i see what you did with your username.

@@ChiefBridgeFuser great show. I drove in from central Ohio to catch this one. Reb showing up was an added bonus. I've been a fan of Steve Morse for many years.

Bell Bottom Blues

Do you prefer your men to wear yoga pants?..... But at least I agree he's better than Clapton, the most overrated guitarist in history.

Morse would disagree with you.

Yes indeed we are all good musicians just on different playing fields 👍 😊 be humble and enjoy everything musicians have to offer its a endless learning curve 😊

They gave Steve a lifetime achievement award and kept him out of further polls so that others would have a chance to win.

@@Frisbieinstein lol

​@@FrisbieinsteinThat's true isn't it. Back in the 90s. Steve Morse was untouchable back then. Before he joined Deep Purple.

@@PaulC39 I don't follow him that closely. Did he go downhill with DP or just have a smaller share of the attention?

@@FrisbieinsteinSteve really shines with his own music and the Dixie Dreggs , to me , it wasn’t a great fit with Deep Purple !

which is funny because part of the reason he ended up in some of the bands he did was because he could sing and do back up vocals

Reb Beach always sounded like shit to me
