I really didn't go to that great G3 concert, I write this message to implore and beg to Mr. Satriani, Mr. Vai and Mr. Petrucci that please come to MEXICO, Please make a G3 here, there are a lot of people that you will make happy.

PLEASE COME TO MEXICO!!!

Hey Joe,

Have you ever considered haveing a singer? If so I think a female singer would do good. I'm telling you this because I found a band at MP3.com who's guitarist sounds like you. http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/23/lunar_plexus.html They sound great. Try a song or two with a female singer. You've probably already are doing anyway. GL!

Oh, I didn't see your show. I'm new to the site and this is where I found to write you. Thanks.

hi i'm imexican and i speak french, i like the songs of satch, i wan to be one joe satriani.

Hello, Satch...

Could you take some photos in the next gig in México?, 'cause i was reading your tour page and you still don't put some photos of Latin American Tour, I don't think that you be racist don't you?.

Greattings to all of your crew, thanks for will come the next 23rd august.

Hey Joe, this is the first time that I've seen you play. Unfortunately I live in Belize, Central America and our Internet Service Provider (ISP) was R-E-A-L-L-Y S-H-I-T-Y about the video and audio stream. For the most part of the concert, all I saw was blurred images and fragmented audio. It's not my computer, because I just bought a brand new Compaq Presario 7478, 533mhz AMD K6-2 processor, etc. Hope that you would show this concert again.

It finally cleared up around the last hour of the concert. Boy I loved "Always with me..." That's my favorite. A also wanted to hear & see the "Satch Boogie," but you know the reason why I couldn't. It's unfortunate that legalities prevent you from making the contest global. I think I would have won. I didn't get the name of the lucky guy. Can you e-mail me.

Boy you are great. I watched your lesson on scales six times so far. PLEASE DON'T TAKE IT OFF AT LEAST FOR ANOTHER WEEK OR SO. Bye.

You have a lot of fans here in Belize. You should come someday to relax on the beach.

GREAT SHOW (what I saw of it).

Bye

This was a great show - I've been going to Satch's shows since his Flying in a Blue Dream tour and he never ceased to amaze me despite the fact that I know he's capable of anything on the guitar. This show was no exception!

I was pretty worried with how low-key the great Stu Hamm was during the pre- intermission performance, but his bass solo ruled as usual (I waited FOREVER for it! Everyone was begging, "Stu! Stu! Stu!!!"), but strangely he left out "Linus and Lucy". I'm really excited to hear that Stu's got a new solo album coming out on www.favorednations.com, it's been an eternity since his last disc!

Joe was having a great night as usual, despite some minor problems with feedback - he hit the sweet spot 95% of the time. But Joe's wardrobe... no comment!

Eric was spending more time on rhythm guitar than I expected, I thought he'd be at the keyboards more. He looked like Robert Downey Jr. with a Steve Vai haircut. :) It was awesome that he was able to trade licks with Joe during "Borg Sex" - tonight's performance definitely made me like the song much more than I did - unfortunately he didn't get too much spotlight after that. I guess Joe has been doing multiple guitar parts all by himself for too long to rearrange the songs for 2 guitars now. It'd be interesting to see what kind of record Eric would put out after this tour's over, seeing how the Surfing tour was a major catalyst for how ass-kicking Stu Hamm's "Kings of Sleep" album turned out to be.

Jeff did a great job at the drums too, however he was not subject to the "mandatory sunglasses" rule. :)

Now for the set itself - a collection of Satch's greatest hits, being an oldtimer myself I would have preferred to hear more new songs - Borg Sex was a real treat and crowd pleaser. It was also a very pleasant surprise to hear Clouds Race Across the Sky live - it's very different from the recorded version and much more energetic. However, I was bummed that songs like Attack and The Power Cosmic 2000 were left out. The rest of the set was made up of all- time favorites like Surfing, Blue Dream, Extremist, Crystal Planet, Always, Satch Boogie, Potato Head, Circles, Ice 9, etc. and the more recent songs off the Crystla Planet and Joe Satriani albums. It was great to hear gems like Down, Down, Down and Cool No. 9 given the live treatment too. It would have been so much cooler if there'd be some songs off Time Machine in the set though - like Banana Mango II!!!

The lights were fantastic - Joe definitely has the best in the biz working for him. It also really cracked me up when I saw Satch's roadie dancing to the riffs of Big Bad Moon. Overall it was an awesome show, I just wish Stu and Eric got to strut their stuff a bit more.

the show was killer. it was my first time seeing satch, and there were so many highlights i can't point out just one. i'm a guitarist and was so impressed by the show. there wasn't a song that went by where i didn't say to myself "how the heck did he do that?" when i came home, i tried to incorperate some of the stuff i saw him do. awesome show... even my girlfriend liked it.

Stu: KICKED ASS...I LOVED IT WHEN DURING YOUR SOLO,YOU PLAYED SO $%!@*&$#@& HARD THAT YOU KILLED YOUR BASS!!! JEFF: OUTSTANDING,SIMPLY OUTSTANDING! ERIC: YOU NEED TO GET OUT FROM BEHIND YOR KEYS,WE CANT SEE YOU VERY WELL.GOOD WORK!

JOE, THANK YOU FOR YOR KINDNESS TO LET ME SHOOT A "FEW" PICTURES AS SOON AS YOU GOT OUT OF YOUR? CAR! NICE RIDE. ALSO THANKS FOR YOR AUTOGRAPH ON THE CD!! GOOD SHOW BOYS... TAKE CARE. JOHN M ANDERSON

Wow! Every time I started to get rockin', Joe would do something amazing on that geetar of his, that would just make my jaw drop.

Stu was awesome! I was impressed even before the big solo.

Jeff played a fantastic set, too. I sure would like to hear more from him.

Take a bow, guys. You rule! One heck of a great show! Thanks for a fantastic evening!

Absolutely powerful playing with fantastic acoustics in that place. That was one sweet show. The only downside was the audience took a little time to get into it..........and possibly turn up Eric's sound for a little more rhythm punch - especially on Flying In A Blue Dream.

Thanks for the show and motivation Joe. It was great to meet you along with my wife - she was the one shooting the photo's for The Salt Lake Tribune )they wanted some file photos for when you attend Salt Lake City - which isn't on your tour!! Please make SLC some day soon. We love you out here. Even the Mormons!! hehe Take care Jim and Leah Southwick (jims@bibbs.com)

Sitting in the exact middle of the theatre, girlfriend in my right arm, Satch on the stage, stu on the right, Jeff in the back and Eric on the left I was compltely blown away and relaxed at the same time from the show...2nd satch concert in Sacramento, and they multiply in fun and show every time...

After putting on such a great show, I only have one question for Mr. Satriani: Man, aren't those fingers sore? Being a guitarist of a few years, practicing every day, if my fingers moved that fast for 30 seconds I would have to stop...Damn.

Damn sums up the show.

JOE RULEZ!!!!!!!! hehe, he's a pretty short dude though... (^_^) Keep on trucking, and stop checking the set list!!!!

I have never experienced Joe live before, primarily beacuse I used to live in the south and Satch didn't come around there... I don't blame him though! I have been a Satriani fan since I was about 15/16 years old, I heard Big Bad Moon and saw the video on MTV... I was hooked. I think Flying in a Blue Dream was the first tape I ever bought after scamming my older sisters stuff.

My wife and I attended the show in Sacto, after a long day at work and getting over the flu, didn't know what to expect. Joe blew me away.

I have played guitar for 12 years and have been impressed with Joe's stuff (as well as somewhat depressed, honestly... how can I look at my poor, tortured guitars after seeing how Joe so effortlessly played his?) but LIVE? he was unbelievable... I hate to sound like some bonehead reviewing (no offense guys)a concert... I mean, who really cares what others think of a performance that you enjoyed completely? Well, I honestly sat there for the full 2.5 hours shaking my head in disbelief and zoning out to the cosmic audio vibes... as a fellow player of the guitar (which is about the only way I can compare Joe's vocation to myself) I found a much higher appreciation of Joe's work. The band was great for an opening show of a tour as well.

This is really more of a thank you to Joe, his music continues to inspire me as it has for at least a decade. His changes in style over the years can only be explained as Joe continuing to evolve as a master at his instrument... God help us if he puts out a few more cd's.... by then we'll all be sit around like confused dogs turning our heads trying to understand something that has surpassed our abilities! Thank you Joe!!
