Wow

seen vai many times in my life, but never got the chance to see Joe Live.

Tonight was the first time, and it was an awesome show.

Im a little pissed (drunk) right now, so Il keep it brief.

the man is a machine, he just played and played non stop.....

Great show, and he is playing again in the same venue for half the price, to fans who went tonight. For sat night

So I may see him twice...

He played the New Blacky guitar, but no Surfing with the alien guitar...

It was basically Joe masturbating for 2 hours on stage.... fun non the less...

Had a great time.....

Glad you had a great time

So....did you go the second time??

CosmicDebris · #4 07-13-2008, 09:31 AM

I have seen him live a half dozen times and always came away inspired to play just wishing I had my guitar in the car.

Didn't end up going the second time,
I got to trashed that night. Space cookies and scotch and cokes dont mix to well..

I already new that, but who am I to argue with me ? :P

After that lot i'd imagine you wasn't capable of arguing with anyone.....or anything!!!!!

At least.....not that you could remember

I went to the first gig as well, on the 11th. I left towards the end of "Surfing With The Alien" cos it was the missus's birthday on the 12th, and I wanted to be home by midnight to wish her a happy birthday - what can I say, I'm a sentimental dude.

This was the third time I've seen Joe, and it was my favourite of the 3 times. I still prefer Vai live because the ass sometimes falls out of Joe's arrangements in a live context, but I'd definitely see him again and I hope Stu sticks around for a while. He brought a great energy to the gig.

I seen Satch a couple weeks ago in Edmonton! Great gig, had a lot of fun. He looked like he was having fun up there as well!

I saw him nearly twenty years ago on the Not of This Earth tour; still one of the best concerts I've ever been to. I'm going to see him again later this week. Should be a great show; Satch is really in his element playing live, and you can tell he has a great time performing...that's the real key to a great show.

I saw him with Vai and Petrucci for the G3 tour in 2006.

RolandRockstar · #12 10-20-2008, 10:54 AM

Sorry guys to disagree but when I saw him in March ion Glasgow it was all pretty dull. Even Stu Hamm plays the same predictable bass solo. It seams that a lot of new Satch stuff is turning into lift music. I didn't get any 'wow' factor or 'how the hell did he do that' unlike the likes of Vai and Gilbert. Gilbert supported him that night and I thought (Even though I'm biased) he blew Satch away.

Lordiesel · #13 10-20-2008, 11:42 AM

To be honest I don't like Satch music. I went to see Vai.... and he was beyond awesome. Satriani and Petrucci bored me.

I just wish Vai would hurry up and tour here on his own so I can see a lengthy set.

It's funny, I couldn't be more oposite. I had Vai's complete discography on my iTunes, and I deleted it because it took up a lot of hard drive space for something I never listened to. And on all the G3 DVD's I skip Vai and watch the others. He just make's me think he's being wierd for wierdness sake. I do like FTLOG and a few others but, that's how I feel. I think all of Satch's stuff is amazing even the new stuff. I do have to be honest and say a few tracks on Super Colosal were weak.

But, hey I'm glad we can all hear something we like.

True That.... The world would be a boring place if we all liked the same thing. I don't mind Satriani its just that I find his melody and phrasing very predictable. But to each his/her own.
