Here's my Steve Morse Dixie Dregs Blizzard story. Back in the winter of 78 or 79 we scored tickets to see them at semi-local college. The night of the gig a major blizzard hits. Like really bad. We're young, stoned, and stupid enough so we say **** it and head out. Luckily there was no sane people out on the roads at all so we fishtailed our way to the gig.
The band arrived before the storm and were pretty juiced up and wanting to rock. Problem was instead of between 500 to 750 folks the audience ended up being maybe 2-3 dozen folks tops.
**** it. The guys made us all feel like their inner circle, let us sit up on the stage, and even took requests. I believe there were beers and weed flowing pretty freely. They played a killer Kashmir that night that blew everyone's brains off.
Awesome guys, awesome crew and a magical evening. I've seen Steve a few times since and brought it up to him and he always belly laughs about it.
