Joe', I see 12 concert of you since 1995... It's always a big show !!! I love your music and every concert made me so crazy!

The sound was really good and the set too with old and new songs.

SUPER COLOSSAL Tour is SUPER COLOSSAL ;-)

Jeff, Dave, Gelen are very excellent... they give at all music always a new dimension, it's sometimes different than studio album. Cool #9 for exemple.

And you too Joe, improvisation you're the best, I always discover an evolution years after years since 1991 when I Know that SATCH exist... FANTASTIC...

So, i Hope to see you very soon, G3 I hope, and of course next tour in Paris, for a new album

My dream, see you in USA, San Francisco...

Good Luck for the end of Tour.

Thanks for your Strange Beautiful Music

Tarek

AWESOME !!! Joe was on fire ! What a hot summer night in Paris... Unforgettable. It started softly with Flying In A Blue Dream... Joe was warming up... After several songs, the show really began with a cosmic version of Ice 9... Things started to accelerate with Hendrixian reminiscences from A Cool New Way, Dorian extravaganzas of Cool#9, and a mystical version of Circles... Joe played Super Colossal perfectly, and the sound from Just Like Lightnin' was a mixture of ZZ Top and Blues from the Bayou... Joe was feeling good, improvising with the band on Always With Me, Always With You, with some Easter Eggs here and there like the theme of Raspberry Jam Delta-V... The audience was won over... Joe played impressive classics like Satch Boogie and Surfing With The Alien, and introduced us with new masterpieces like One Robot's Dream... Things were speeding up, and sadly the show was coming to an end... Joe and the band received a standing ovation and were back for chating with the audience... CROWD CHANT was enormous !!! Joe looked at Jeff and smiles were on their faces, astounded by the energy delivered by the people who had left their comfortable seats to gather and sing in front of the stage... Finally, Joe delivered a boiling version of Summer Song - the temperature was high in the theatre... I was exhausted, amazed, admiring. One of the best guitar player in the world played in front of me tonight, and his inspirations will always guide me... What a stunning venue ! Thank you ever so much Joe !

Wonderful concert

We were at the mezzannine and the sound was great, although the bass and the rythm guitar sometimes were a little dark, but the drums and the Satriani guitar were clear.

I woulkd like have listened other famous songs like "Rubina" ,something from "Is there love in the space", but it is the same "Satriani is God" and what Satriani does well done is.

This was the first Satriani concert I saw, but I hope to see him again, for example a G3 with Steve Vai and Andy Timmons.

Thanks for your music, Joe

That was a SUPER COLOSSAL Concert !!!

The band and the set list was fantastic. Joe, AMAZING, as always ! Two hours are just not enough.... I could hear and watch Joe playing for ages... He's really a great performer.

I'm looking forward to seeing you for your next european tour or for a G3 Extravaganza. By the way, Andy Timmons could be a great guest star guitar for the next G3.

I really incite everyone to attend a Joe Satriani Concert, it's a magic moment.

Thanks again Joe for this unforgettable gig.

Vinz.

Hello everybody !

That was my first Satch's experience and I was afraid to be upset because live show is not the same thing than a studio album but

THAT WAS.... INCREDIBLE !!! FANTASTIC !!! AMAZING !!!!

The show was great and the play list was composed with old and new song :

Flyin in a blue dream / The extremist / Redshit Riders / Cool #9 / Cool new way / Satch Boogie / Super Colossal / Just lightin / Ice 9 / One robot's dream / The meaning of Love / Circles / Always with me, Always with You / Surfin with the Alien / Crowd Chant / Summer Song

As you can see, the play list was great and long and for all our pleasure !!!

The sound was incerdible, with a great quality and a good equalizer

Joe was super colossal, dynamic and he's a funny guy, very cool...

Everything was cool but The only thing is that you can make photos :(

Thank you Joe for this show and all your music

I hope you're gonna play more show in France, We love you

Pierre

PS : if someone has some photos of this show, please send it at pierresime@free.fr Si quelqu'un a eu la chance de faire quelques photos ce serait vraiment sympa de me les envoyer à pierresime@free.fr, histoire d'avoir quelques souvenirs, merci d'avance :)

One of the greatest show ever seen in my all life. That's strange to be sit for a Satriani concert, but well... at the end you just have to get up and jam !

I had the chance to be close enought to see Joe's hyper speed ability but also the feeling on is face when playing.

The set list was very original. The old good classics as satch boogie or summer song but also some song less played (for what i know) as circles.

I came to the show with friends who didn't know about Joe's music and they where totaly charmed.

Hope we can see you soon Joe : Thank for the show A bientot

Thank you Joe and Jeff ! The most powerful show i've ever view was there ! Super Colossal live version is incredibly better than studio version. I had doubts concerning Dave LaRue's integration before the show (I still a Stu fan...) but it has been quite great (wow, the Cool#9 introduction has amazed me !).

But the fact that let me rate this show as the best is that now my Ibanez is a "Joe Satriani / Jeff Campitelli signature" one ! ;o)

Thanks a lot for this event and the aftershow pass ! Keep on tour in France... You're welcome !
