Available in:
After the 1983 breakup of the Dregs, Morse then formed The Steve Morse Band, a trio with bassist Jerry Peek and drummer Doug Morgan (formerly a member of Glass Moon). After the first tour of the eastern United States, Morgan left for previous commitments. Everyone's choice to replace Morgan (including Doug's) was Rod Morgenstein. They began recording The Introduction in September. The group toured Germany in early 1984 with Morse conducting clinics, and the group was signed by Elektra Records, who released The Introduction mid-year. A second German tour began in December 1984 and Stand Up was released in 1985. This effort included guest vocalists and guitarists (Eric Johnson, Alex Ligertwood, Peter Frampton, Albert Lee, Van Temple), and violinist Mark O'Connor. He toured with Rush as a main opener on their Power Windows tour.
Morse paused the band in 1986 to join Kansas and a short career as commercial airline co-pilot (late 1987 to early 1988). Then Morse re-established The Steve Morse Band in 1991 and delivered two albums: Southern Steel (1991) and Coast to Coast (1992).
Although Morse joined Deep Purple and became a permanent member in 1994, Morse released with The Steve Morse band another four albums: Structural Damage (1995), StressFest (1996), Split Decision (2002), and Out Standing in Their Field (2009).
