The show was incredible! Joe was in top form. Eric was a bonus to see. Can hardly wait to see Joe and company again soon!!

Would have been better if i would have known about the premium tickets sooner! I am now 34 years old. A guy I worked with owed me $10 and gave me Not Of This Earth for it when I was 16. My life has never been the same! I saw Joe the next year at the Ranch Bowl in Omaha Nebraska, and was absolutley wowed! I cannot believe that Joe's live performances are still getting better! He is still growing as a player and I love it! Few days ever go by that I am not listening to his music.

Keep on going JOE! I will definately get the Premium Package next time. ANY WAY YOU COULD EMAIL YOUR MEMBERS TO GIVE US A HEADS UP?

Doubt anyone on this planet (sans Joe) has turned more people on to his beautiful music, and I will never stop! Scott Joslin

Once again... an awe-inspiring performance from Satch. I was a little disappointed that they had to cut Eric Johnson off for some ridiculous curfew, but it was great to see him nonetheless. To anybody complaining about "snobs" who bought the Platinum package, please STFU. I was there. Nobody was rubbing anything in your face. If Joe is going to tour every two years, and offer a premium package for a little extra money, I will buy it. I'm especially glad my money is going to one of the most talented musicians of all time. (Let the 14 year old Britney Spears/50 Cent/Nickelback fans hear some real music for a change...)

Having Joe sign my "Surfing" vinyl/CDs and getting to shake his hand and just chat with him for a bit was a great memory. One that I hope to repeat the next time he rolls through.

Best show ever not even Hendrix himself could change my mind.Joe is the greatest!How does he do it you ask?He has the power cosmic.I don't know about snobs because I had to drive 300 miles and got there 10 minutes before they opened the doors(almost couldn't go at all) but got down in front thanks to the good nature of people (do unto others...) Be nice you get further in life wish I had the premium stuff but had a great time nonethless.Ice 9 awesome.Crowd chant fantastic.For any true Satriani fan to complain that he didn't see everything just perfect after having the good fortune just to see Joe more than a couple of times is nothing less than pathetic and extremely shallow.To see Eric with Joe again was fantastic yet I was dissapointed when the hall cut him short whoever can't make time for one more song is evil and does not deserve to hear music anyway.I would gladly throw down a weeks wages to follow them for a couple more days just to hear it all again sadly I must follow a more responsible path and return to work at my regular job as I am not as gifted as the master.One Robot's Dream please let me win the guitar.If you didn't buy a raffle ticket but you got a shirt the lords of karma will know peace and love to all!

Great show, guys! This was one of my all-time favorite Satch shows because of the setlist and the energy on stage. I really enjoyed the new songs, particularly One Robot's Dream, Made of Tears, and Cool New Way. Crowd Chant was cool, too, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much the audience participated. The addition of Dave LaRue was great.

My wife and I won aftershow passes from this site and got to meet all the guys. They were so kind to spend so much time talking with us and letting us take pictures. Very cool!

We didn't get the premium ticket packages and didn't get a great view from where we stood, but I think those premium packages are great. If you're willing to spend the extra money, you deserve the royal treatment. Keep those going! Next time around I'm definitely going to buy those.

Great show. The new tunes sounded excellent, especially my favorites that were done by Simon Phillips. I'm a big fan of Dave LaRue's (Bass!), and was thrilled with his performance. As far as the people not liking either waiting all day or paying the big dollars, at least you didn't show up after the doors opened and end up looking at the backs of heads all night. That really comes down to the small 'intimate' clubs that Joe's been playing in the last couple years (though, I'm inclined to call them something else). I could've had Joe's last pick, as I saw it coming and it hit me in the middle of the forehead. It'll make me think twice about trying to catch a foul ball at a BB game.

Hey Joe! Fantastic show! I always knew that seeing you and Eric together would be a night to remember. You sounded great. The audio, lighting, venue was a real pleasure. I was one of the fortunate individuals that took advantage of your platinum package (although I'm not a snob). It was worth every penny. When someone pays extra for special treatment they expect the red carpet. You and your staff made us feel very valued. I'm a long time fan that has seen several of your shows (front row in the Denver G3 DVD), purchased all your albums, and been inspired by your playing. It's unfortunate that some people felt snubbed by the platinum member's royal treatment. I would do it again in a minute.

AWESOME SHOW !! Once again Joe lets loose one hellava performance. Its like he has been playin these new songs forever. The combo of old favorites along with the new songs were all played perfectly, some great improv, extended jams, and concert endings. The new guitas and new songs were played so well, especially Just Like Lightnin' and One Robot's Dream. He also played Super Colossal, The Meaning of Love, and Crowd Chant. I was suprised to see a new bass player who looks familiar, but can't place him, but he was pretty good. I just cant believe how awesome the show was and how well the new songs were played. Thanks again for an outstanding show. The only thing that sucked however, was the Premium Ticket Package snobs. Joe, how could you sell out to these uppity jerks!? You really are alienating your truest, hardcore, diehard fans... the fans who get in line at noon to see you, wait in the rain, who take a day off work to get to your show, who drive many hours to see you, who in any free time, try to play your music and buy every single dvd, cd, tshirt whatever, and at least 7 of us were the same front row crowd that was filmed on your G3 Live in Denver show ! I was very disappointed at the fact that at a General Addmission show, which I got in line at noon (and was still 8th in line)... these other people got to get inside before us, show up at 6:00 and got to get front row before us just because they paid more for thier ticket. LAME! Some guys who got in line at 8:30 this morning had to stand 3 rows back...that's just wrong. This is like my 15th Satriani concert and I will keep going, but it makes it hard for true fans to get a good seat. When I first signed up to go to this show, those tickets were not available, and I was happy, but when i got to the show and these people cut infront of us, I was very upset. I was lucky enough to squeeze into the front row right infront of you anyway, and it was still a great show, but I had to stand next to these snobby people. Which proves another point, if these jerks knew anything about you, and the set up of your show, I wouldn't have gotten the great spot that I had. Still love ya Joe, awesome show!
