Tour Diary Responses- Vai: Real Illusions 2005 - Europe

How about a BLACK TUX (maybe pinstriped) with a blood red or burgundy shirt underneath, no bow tie. That would look killer.

it would have to be something thin and silky (probably italian) cause it can get pretty hot on stage.

Or a euro-fitting purple velvet suit with a black t-shirt - a little more ballsy.

And for those of you who claim its all about the music, then why even go to a show? Just listen to the CD. A show is a show - and when you're going to a Vai show, you pretty much expect to see the whole cahuna not just a bunch of guys standing there and playing.

Oh and if it's a casual/stylish thing you're going for, Bowie looked pretty badass on the Reality tour...

Dave,

You could run this one by Steve:

Dress up for a show like the Bananna Splits! (be the monkey, always be the monkey!)

That would rule!

Rufes.. I had to delete your message b/c it kept forcing my browser to quit. sorry.

Anyway, just a reminder, this thread is to discuss what you read/see in the tour diary, not just the clothing poll hahaha.

Well, I have always enjoyed your shirts on tour. You have good style, but nice flat front black pants and a nice dress shirt might really look nice and be a good change. I struggle with the full suit idea unless I could see it b/c I think of too many old school players who really were not working it in the suites, even though they though they were!

I love that I can keep up with what's going on during your tour.Thanks for keeing this diary. Have a great time.

I think you should wear a "cool suit" or something. I thought it was almost disrespectful when I saw you wearing a t-shirt and jeans on stage with Vai. You are very privileged to be on stage with such a legend and the least you could do is not look like a bum.

That's a Jem that Dan Lawrence painted for Steve in the Real Illusions theme. He plays it live on the Euro tour.
