I never really clicked with this.
Terrific playing, but it has always reminded me more of sports than of music.

Yeah, well, that was Friday. This is Saturday. Could be totally different.

I was at the original Friday Night In San Francisco show. I'd love to own the Saturday night recording, on CD.

^ Cold showers.

The suffering is real! And cold!

Back in the day, we used to listen to it a lot ... good old memories!

I was at one of those shows, or it even could have been the following year. The show was at Davies.

I still have this on vinyl; have no urge to "upgrade" to CD, as I never listen to it. To me, it's all technique and no music.

Friday Night In San Francisco was at The Warfield and the following year they returned, with Steve Morse playing a few songs at the beginning, at Davies Symphony Hall.

I have a gold disc version of Friday that came in a jewel case housed in a hardcover book that doesn't really seem to offer any extras:

I picked it up somewhere at a normal price, or possibly from a cutout bin, not sure. I can't think of any other single CD box sets that I own.

The Davies show is the one I went to. The Dregs opened and then as you said Morse played the last few songs with them. Loved that show.

[StarThrower]

Just an LP worth of material from a 2 hr and 20 minute show? The entire show on video is up on YouTube.

Our memories are different. Steve played with John, Al and Paco, then John, Al and Paco played without Steve. No Dregs. Unless we're talking about a different show.

I'm not sure about the show/tour you saw but I saw them in '84 in Seattle. Morse opened with a solo set, then John, Paco and Al played and Steve joined them for the encores.

About a month ago. Al and John and a third guitarist:

I saw Al and John but not with Paco but instead a replacement named Birelli Lagrene in NYC in 1989. Great show. The opening act was Trilok Gurtu (which at the time I didn't know but a friend I went with told me later - also for a long time I forgot Birelli's name). I don't remember much about the show except it was all acoustic and all three were playing extremely fast. I guess that's their thing.
