I'm sure others have reviewed the heck out of this, but this will just be small and quick. It was the best concert I have been to, I had a wonderful time, It was top notch!! (It was worth driving from where I am in Canada to Seattle to see it, 8 hour drive about) Thanks alot Joe!

What can I say that has not already been said by the rest of Joes great fans. Just another awesome show as always. The platinum experience was just too cool, from watching the sound check before hand and meeting the awesome drummer Mr. Jeff Campitelli, to the meet and great with Joe afterwards. These guys are great and the most down to earth guys that you will ever meet. They really care about their fans and it shows when you meet them. The only drawback was the venue. It was a very poor choice for someone as great as Joe. People had a hard time seeing and with only having standing room only, shorter people and the kids could not see very well. With it being a smoking facility, the smokers took advantage of it and that made it unpleasent for the rest of us. Overall the music made it worth it.

WOW!! Great Show Joe! Thanks so much for mixing it up like you did! I heard songs that I never would have expected to be played live. Moroccan Sunset, Hordes Of Locust, Psycho Monkey, Searching, and (one of my favorite vocal songs) Strange!! These were all pleasant surprises. The vocals on Strange could have been better. I think it was either too much delay on Joe's mic or Matt's was a bit too loud in the mix. I totally enjoyed it anyway, and sang along with the whole song. The intro and outro jams were great!! I loved the improvisational jamming, it was like listening to a bared soul. Joe seemed to be more energetic this time around. Jumping and bopping around the stage from time to time. The whole group just seemed more bonded and at ease, like the machine had just been freshly oiled. I can't wait until the next one!!

i have to say this show was flawless. every song was the best version i've ever heard, no exageration. the extended endings and intro jams were beautiful. Always with me always with you was awesome and the outro lasted as long as the song, he practically wrote a new song jamming off that one. i pretty much had the best seat in the place, standing right by Joe's pedal board. i was close enough to touch him, infact i did touch his 7 string guitar because i pretty much had to, givin the opportunity. i brought my litle sisters and they had the time of their lives. it was their first concert ever, and it will be difficult if not impossible to beat. my only complaints would be all the second hand smoke and having to stand for 4 hours straight. but the performance made it worth it. i was taking pictures like theres no tomorrow so i have the experience well documented. the only thing that could have made it better would be meeting joe, but that can wait for another day. thanks Joe. you're awesome

Once again I am totally amazed. This was the best Satriani gig I have been to (and I have seen quite a few)! That last G3 was great but not quite in the groove. This night, Every one was there. A free and open expression of there musical souls. Every song was taken to a higher level. Aways with me Always with you was completely amazing. Thanks again guys. I can,t wait untill you return to the Emerald City.
