Later live albums such as Bring Em Back Alive showcase a sense of humor as Steve Morse adds Kashmir and My Sharona in a medley, and California Screaming he tackles Frank Zappa's Peaches en Regiula with Drezil Zappa guest starring.<br /><br />For Starcastle, find their 1st album, which is as close to YES as any band from Illinois ever got to. Later albums tended to seek a more pop sound and Reel To Real is when they turned into the US version of Prism. Not bad but not prog rock. ;)R S Crabbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11763473179086750283noreply@blogger.com
