Hi there! This is the 2nd one (i suppose the 1st has gone bye bye...strike 1 for the web master). As i said : GuyZ Joe RuleZ!! The set was awesome, the band was awesome and the audience just gone mad... What a start! MY ONE BIG RUSH was just second on the list! Master played Ice 9 as well!! (told 'ya...it was really hot that night...). Even though the show was kinda short (105 min long) it was perfect. The Master played almost all of the surfing with the alien album out there (OK, i know, there's a big promotion for the 20th anniversary) but that suited just fine... :)). I love that album. It was the 1st one that i bought back then. The show....what can i say. Jeff really hammered, Dave roared and Galen was ripping while Joe leaded them into a frenzy performance. Fast? OH YEAH!! Melodic? SURE man, thats what Joe does better than anyone else. Massive? You should listen to that Super colossal performance.... It was an experience seen' Joe playing just in front of me. The audience gone nuts with the Crowd Chant...after all Joe wrote that on exactly that purpose. I should say that even i was right beside (AND I MEAN BESIDE) the low frequency amps, the sound was unbelievable. Didn't miss a single note - Joe didn't also... :)) - or a sound. Great Show guyz!! Keep on rocking in the free world!! C YA next time!!

My third viewing of Satch! Firewind really made me scared because their sound was waaaaay to loud, I could hardly understand one thing they were saying! But when Joe's technicians started to tear the stage down, my heart started pounding. I waited an anxious 15 minutes and then it happened. Joe hit the stage with so much energy and power starting off with a deadly version of War. I can't remember the full playlist or in the correct order but it was something like this... War, One Big Rush, Flying in a Blue Dream, Redshift Riders The Extremist, Just like Lightnin' Ice 9, Satch Boogie, Cool #9, Surfing with the Alien, Always With Me, Always With You, Circles, The Mystical Potato Head Groove Thing, Up in Flames,

The band left the stage at this point and the crowd went crazy, yell JOE!! at the top of their lungs and screaming for more! They walked back out and Campitelli hit the first heavy foot drum and I knew it was time. The whole earth was shaking underfoot, the encore consisted of an awesome Crowd Chant and a great and livley finisher Summer Song.

It was the best Satch gig I have ever been to, I almost got a pick and one of Campitelli's drum sticks, but the crowd was crazy. The only complait I would have if any, and its minor, is that Joe only threw about 2 picks in my direction...but thats not his fault :)
