The Great Spectacular

Description

The Great Spectacular is Dixie Dregs' original 1975 demo album, recorded at the University of Miami as a class project, independently pressed by the band, and distributed locally in limited quantities.Yet, The Great Spectacular also functions as a greatest hits of sorts, featuring early tracks that would later be re-recorded on Dixie Dregs' classic Capricorn and Arista albums (1977-1980), as well as during guitarist/bandleader Steve Morse's tenure in Kansas. It includes early recordings of key Dregs tunes, including "What If," "Leprechaun Promenade," "Holiday," "Refried Funky Chicken," "Country House Shuffle," and many more.Original copies of The Great Spectacular are rare collector's items. For its first-ever LP re-release, the album has been pressed on white vinyl.All four original Dixie Dregs members from this album will be touring starting in April 2024, with Dream Theater's Jordan Rudess joining the band on keyboards.
