But yeah like uhhhIs there a mid ground between Charlie Daniels & Mahavishnu Orchestra?
The bass player looks like a beefier Bonnie Prince Billy. The keyboardist is doing jazz fusion super fast runs but with a synth sound that sounds like Pac Man dying

Now it's 93, the Tonight Show w Jay Leno
Everyone but Morse has poofy hair metal hair, they are doing like a super medly of techy metal classic rock riffs, my Sharona,I fought the law, freebies, summertime blues, slap bass solo, gimme some lovin, Jesus Christ Morse can play fast, they kicked out the bald bassist and the tall hillbilly looking violin player

Now we're Live at the Hob Bear, early 90s? Jazz fusion chops jamming on Wabash Cannonball, Morse plays a Music Man instead of the Frankenstein Tele now

― kurt kobaïan (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 3 April 2015 03:28 (nine years ago) link
The way they go back & forth between fusion, program, and then back to country hoe down stuff is remarkableI wish I liked this more

they had ZERO good songs. that always helps if you want to sell the shredding. any jazz, blues, or bluegrass musician will tell you that.
― scott seward, Friday, 3 April 2015 13:57 (nine years ago) link
Yeah that is a problem
― kurt kobaïan (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 3 April 2015 14:38 (nine years ago) link

One of them being the theme music for the BBC's Friday Rock Show in the 80s, so I'll always thank them for that.
