Dixie Dregs-Ice Cakes

[@hermitrob5481]

Absolute game changer band for me. Got smacked with The Dregs, King Crimson, Beck (Blow by Blow) and FZ in the 8th grade (1983) and everything changed. Not that I quit digging The AB's, Skynyrd, AC/DC, Zeppelin yada, but just understood the difference in next level musicianship. And it is next level musicianship. For the record and a little added musical evolution context, I also saw The Dead for the first time in 83' and was touring with them by 85' until the end in 95' Finished with about 220 GD shows and probably 40 JGB shows. Miss em man

listened to this stuff back in college back in the seventies. It's still good today. Good music has no age.

[@mattiasvejdegren1255]

Just perfect 🥰

[@CoreaKixx420]

I think this is one of the greatest intstumental kickers ever written, and even more importantly...performed!!

[@hermitrob5481]

Game changer in my musical evolution for sure. Like FZ Overnight Sensation, King Crimson etc

[@chuckbyf1]

I'll have to crack open this album. Haven't heard this for a long time. This used to be my favorite band.

[@harriter88]

Have always loved this track great mix of Funk prog classical

[@HowardLevyland]

Love this tune. Used to play it.

[@MattSupnick]

badass the whole way through. thanks for the upload

[@dyollb]

I've been dreaming of doing an octet arrangement of this with horns.

[@DavidDoolin]

I bought "What If" when it came out.

[@midiguy4u]

good audio transfer! The way this track builds is awesome!

[@abacab54321]

I'd like to play this at my funeral. "Come on, son, go home and get some practice. Seriously. It may not be your time just yet after all," would Saint Peter say. "We're not having you here until you nail it." "Lord, my playing stinks, for I have been dead four days." "Take up your guitar and walk."

[@ericnadaoka9038]

"Night Meets Light" also would be a good choice.

[@TenthStudios]

Man! That's Kansas, Georgia, and California by way Newawlens! A little Genesis too.

[@beautifulmusicbiz]

SomeSimpleStuff2 gentle giant and Zappa too

[@davidkyle2073]

Interested to know what Genesis song you think Steve borrowed or was inspired by in writing Ice Cakes. I’m very familiar with each’s full catalogue.

[@harriter88]

@harriter88 2:51 to 3:09 is some of the hippest shit ever laid down by anyone

[@chuckbyf1]

I wore this album out-and it's cousin the cassette.

A bit like Chic Corea meets Jan Hammer, with it's own thing going on.
