It's good that this young generation is being exposed to bands that started and revolutionized this kind of music. For those that don't know, this song is a cover. The original was composed and recorded by the Dixie dregs of which guitarist Steve morse fronted. And if I'm not mistaken. .. mark o'connor is the violinist, who was and still is a member of the dregs. .. Although i do confuse him with alan sloan of who was also violinist for the dregs as well
NO NO NO! DREAM THEATER COVERED ODESSEY BY THE DIXIE DREGS NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND! THIS IS A COVER DREAM THEATER DID FOR THE SPECIAL EDITION OF BLACK CLOUDS AND SILVER LININGS!
Badass tune, very tight. I grew up listening to the Dixie Dregs/Dregs/Steve Morse from the Freefall album in 1976ish, with Odyssey being my favorite early tune. This is a worthy cover in that it is true to the original while having its own groove and feel, and some incredible playing.
