Just one of the best shows in my life, with the '95 G3 in Montreal. Satriani and DT where awsome.

This was the first time I ever saw Joe it was amazing. Although I wish I could have gotten his autograph and a picture with him. But there is always a next time. It was one of the best shows I ever went to. Joe really got the crowed really going. Everyone was chanting "Joe" and when he was finished everyone is like one more. I hope in the future that I could play guitar with Joe and he could teach me a few tricks. It was real cool concert.

Alright, where do I start now... Well, there's not much to say about King's X... They were good, and I liked them, but... not that much! :OP Let's skip to the best part, ok? :O) Joe's show was totally incredible!!!!! He opened with Flying in a blue dream, and followed with Crushing day... This one drove me crazy!! Man, it was completely unbelievable to see Joe's fingers during that song! And I liked the way he finished it! Devil's slide was next, and it was even better than on the DVD! (As all of the songs were! :O) Cool #9 came after that, and Joe had some fun making us follow his guitar by singing! Now, I can't remember the order of the next two songs... Anyway, he played Satch Boogie, and The crush of love! Simply mindblowing!!! I didn't even have time to recover that Joe had changed his guitar, and started playing Mind Storm, followed by Seven String! I really hope he plays them on his next tour, because they were really, really, really REALLY good!! :O) After that, Satch sat down and started playing Midnight... Awesome!!! And, still sitting down, he played Starry Night... It sounded really cool, sometimes EXACTLY as on the CD, sometimes he added nice things! :O) Raspberry Jam Delta-V and Mystical Potato Head Grovve Thing came next! Both were great!!! And Joe particularly seemed to have some fun in Rasberry Jam! Then, Matt joined him for their little intro to Summer song!!! That song was really good, I wish it lasted longer! :O) Now, I don't know if Joe was in a hurry or what, but he asked if he could play one more song, just before we started to shout for the encore! Anyway, he finished with Friends, and everybody seemed to enjoy a lot!!

Oh, and I'm sorry... Joe played Always with me, always with you, but I really can't remember after what song he played it... All I can remember is that I almost cried when he played it, it was... it was very special...

No word is able to describe how Joe's performance was!! The DVD was nothing compared to what I saw yesterday night! Joe was moving a lot on the stage, raising his hands during songs with the crowd responding... It was a blast! If he comes back, I'll be there, that's for sure!! :O) Jeff was what I was expecting! Very good, and "active"! Matt was a cool bassist! He's not like Stu, but is he supposed to be? He played songs very well! And Galen was an OK player, but I can't really tell, I couldn't hear him much! And I couldn't see him for almost half of the set... Anyway... Great performance, Joe! I can't wait to see you again!!! :O)

Dream Theater were really good, too! The crowd went wild when they started, as it seemed almost everybody was there for them! People standed for most of the set! I can't really comment on what they play, as I'm not a big fan of them. John Myung and John Petrucci played soccer while playing some song, that was fun to watch! Mike Portnoy was one of the coolest drummers I have ever seen! He was throwing his drum sticks in the air during songs, catched them and continued playing! He did that at least 2 or 3 times for each song! Jordan, the keyboard guy, was good! And I was impressed by the singer, his voice was as good as on the CDs!

I waited by the buses after the show, but I heard that Satch was already gone... :O( I stayed, just in case DT members showed up! And they did! Jordan Rudess and Mike Portnoy came and signed almost everyone's CDs! I even took a picture with Jordan, and talked a bit with Mike! Those two guys were really cool with us!

Overall, ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL SHOW! Don't miss it!!! I hope I'll get to see Joe again soon! :O)

Wow! im am amazed! that was my first DT and Satriani show and it's the best show i've attended in my life. it was the first time since 1998 i think that DT came to quebec city. Satriani was ON and Dt was more than on!! First came kings'X, good response from the crowd , but i didnt like them much. but their last song finale was good in my opinion.

Then came Satriani. Wow. He's a god, he can do anything on his guitar. the highlight was Midnight, he didnt play Surfing with the alien or The extremist. strange. overall it was great. some people were standing for a big part of Satch set but some security guy told them to sit down.

And now a strange song starts to play in the main sound system. some people seemed to know it but i didnt. then DT came and i was like oh my god im seeing my favorite band DT right now!!!! they started with the taped intro of Pull me Under and people went nuts. it was crazy. everyone was standing.

EVERYONE in the venue was standing the whole set during DT. i took pictures from Satriani and Dream Theater.

The best show ever.

Ok... all I have to say is that this is the best show i've ever seen so far! Seeing Satriani play was just unreal. Joe, wherever u went, you took me with you man. I just can't say anything more about it =)

Dream Theater... lemme say that even tho I don't listen to this band because their style is just not my kind of thing... This is the greatest BAND i have ever seen! This band is so good together i just had an amazing time. The crowd was standing for the whole set... Damn what a night!

I give the show a 9 cuz Kings X was really weak. They can write songs, but they really need to be stronger. I was bored with them and I think their "finale" was just to annoy the crowd because we didn't give em a good response.

I came all the way from Montreal with 7 other buddies to see this and what a night it was!

Thank you again!
