Not sure about the exact year, but it was mid to late 80s. I remember I was there to see Rush and really knew nothing about Steve Morse Band and wasn't really interested in seeing them. We arrived late and they had already started. As we're making our way to our seats, I start thinking, "Man, this drummer is good," then we take our seats and I start paying closer attention. Now I'm thinking, "Woah! What the? Damn! What?? Oh my god!" So, obviously I was watching his every move until the end of their set. Then Neil and company came out and put on a great show.
