Great show. Enjoyed it from the start till the end. Highlight for me was the beautiful extended version of Allways with me allways with you and the fact that he played Time Machine and Cool #9. Also loved the enthusiasm of Joe. Great setlist containing songs from almost all of his albums. It just couldn't be better.

Does anyone have a complete setlist for me?

Just great ! don't what to say... I came from POLAND specially 4 that GIG !!!

Meeting was fantastic, Joe holded my Ibanez JS guitar for 10 minutes and even played on it, also was talking about the egde and at last... signed it ! He even remembered my name, WOW !!! I gave him even a gift - small guitar, one of his models (the red one). Hope he will remember it... :-)

I met Galen few hours before the show, made a photo. He smiled 2 me at the gig ! Jeff's smiled too, I guess... he has throwned at me his stick, but unfortunately I didn't catch it :(

setlist was great! especially: Time Machine, Cryin' and... Ghost... wow ! GREAT GREAT GREAT!

I will remember it until the end of my life !!!!!!!!! Thanks JOEEEEEEEEE :))) Keep on rockin', but come to Poland next time, to Wroclaw, as you did 2 years ago !!!

Peter from Poland :)

Amazing!! Just amazing. Although it was bloody hot inside due to the high temparature it got even hotter thanks to the band. It took awhile to get into the mood but when things started to roll , they rolled. Have been listening to Joe since " Surfin" came out and at last he,s performing in my backyard. Y saw a guy playing, at ease, not overdoing it as far as showing off is concerned but just playing and let the music do its work. Great , loved it. Got me inspired to play even more and learn some more scales and modes.Joe , thanks for being here and... one question . How far did you turned on the JSX amp? At 10 to get that lovely powertube sound or did you control it a bit??? Once again, loved seeing you play and as we speak im trying to learn " Its so Good" ( love that tune).Im curious how the " satchuator" will sound on my tubes ;-))

All the best

Peter

Wow...... that was a great show more then 100% Satrified, I have only really gotten into instrumental music quite recently and did'nt know what to expect from a live Gig. And I tell ya i have never seen/heard such an accurate guitarist, and live Joe has even more energy in his fingers than on record. i am still learning how to play guitar (yes even after 5 years....self tought) (wich doesn't work) and for people who understand guitarplaying the show was even better. The setlist was great even with new songs "Ghost", and ofcourse using ''I just wanna rock'' as the opener warms things up right away, ''crowd chant'' was wonderful to although not everyone was a "real" satch fan and didn't get the idea. hope to hear "ceremony" and "why" the next time around plus some nice 7-string guitar action. O and please get Ibanez to make the extremely cool grey and black splatered Js-guitar, i'd like to have one :D.

.....What a Baseguitar solo :D

Hope to see Joe in the verry near future, Thx

Incredible show !! From the beginning till the end, pure energy coming from the stage !! A lot of new stuff and unforgetable 'oldies' !! We won the aftershow meet and greet and that was fantastic, Joe discussed a lot of guitar technical stuff and music directions, song writing, recording, liveshows......... , he even wanted to hear names of guitarists for upcoming G3 tours !! Ofcoarse he signed my cd's, guitar pickguard and my t-shirt and even had time to have pictures taken with us !! Joe was very relaxed and really took the time, thanks for that ! Also a quick meeting with Stu', he was very nice as well !!

Joe thanks again for the great night !!

Brilliant show! Just loved the setlist, with a lot of older stuff in it. For instance Cryin' and Time Machine. Lots of energy coming from the band from start to finish. Oh, and I have to say, compliments to Stu for a super bass solo! Good interaction with the audience as well.

Speaking about the audience... In the beginning there was a slightly low energy level. This probably had to do with the very high outside temperatures in May. Well for Holland anyway. Opening song was "I Just Wanna Rock", but it was like nobody knew the words... After playing a couple of songs this led to Joe making a remark: "got to say you guys are very quiet in between songs"... Which actually helped a lot! ;-)

Just one last anecdote. Because of the nice weather my girlfriend and I were sitting outside on a terrace next to the venue just before the doors opened. Then suddenly Jeff Campitelli comes strolling along. I didn't want to bother him, but when I said to my girlfriend, look that's the drummer, she started staring at him... A bit embarassing... Sorry about that Jeff! ;-)

Great show ! Each time he changed guitars it was if they put a new battery in the bald guitar hero ... lots of energy on stage.

I hope you've saved some for Brussels...

Perfect show, perfect playlist. I loved the opening, and from there I just couldn't stop smiling, enchanted by every note you guys played. Also getting to hear summer song and one big rush live was a blast. Whenever you return to NL I will definately be there.

Ooh what a night!
From the first till the last note played, what a positive energy from the entire band
I was only I bit sad that the no1 classic, Crushing Day, wasn't on the 'menu'.

I hope I will have the honour to hear and see it in Brussels
Joe keep amazing us with your 'powerplay full with soul'!
Bands comes and goes, but Joe Satriani last for a lifetime
Thank you Galen! Thank You Jeff! Thank you Stu!
