Ok.. that was the best day of my life..

I'v been a fan for about 15 years now, listening and playing Joe's songs every single day [didnt miss even 1 day without joe!], i spent about 5000$ to make this day happen, got a meet&greet pakcage, packed a bag, flew all the way from israel (about 20 hours of flying) and booked an hotel next to warfield

It was pretty big deal for me

The Q&A was pretty cool, I was so excited i couldnt speak :(

Joe is a funny guy. when he asked about the next G3 suggestions, i said tommy emmanuel [my fav along with vai, my mind is limited musically to joe, vai, tommy emmanuel and metallica, thats it lol] he is an accustic guitar player, but i though ill mention him. then he said "we ware that close to get him on on the next G3, but it didnt worked out".... wow, i didnt know they thought about it too.. but its good to know now, maybe joe and steve will make it happen, and then for me it will be the ultimate G3 lol

Anyway, i got my guitar signed and got a pic with him [yay!],

Show was short though and the songs ware pretty much like the cds for example there was no extended ending for "always" or special intro for "summer song"

but i loved every sec of what he gave there, sounds was great and the hall was pretty cool place to be in.

The only mistake i did, was going to the last show of the tour!, cause i want more and i, and the rest of us gonna have to wait! :(

But hey, a dream came true for me, i met joe!..

Cheers Yaron Levi, Israel

This show was One Big Rush as we were able to plant ourselves just a few feet from where Joe performs. This is one of the most crisp and clear audio venues in No.CA. Our ears were still humming a full day later even after wearing 32 dB earplugs. By being so close, we realized Joe is truly one with his instrument. Not just in spirit, but visually as well.

Using a camera (fixed lens, Mr. grabby security guy) and grooving to the tunes posed a major conflict. I just hope all those professional photographers in the pit will share their prized pix online for us. My shots from my new camera were not as clear as I had hoped for, even when Joe was performing dead center in front of me. Selections from PSAMOR were right on! Especially loved Revelation and Andalusia – wish the latter was longer. Maybe Asik Vaysel next time? Time Machine was just so refreshing to hear as the new/vintage song from Joe's vast collection. Please include more surprises like these on future tours like Bells of Lal, Clouds Race Across the Sky, and other resurrected songs like an Anthology Tour.

Both bands were having a great time, and I got a chuckle catching glimpses of Stu and Galen's expressions. It's rare to come across living legends and experience a fantastic night enjoying your gifts of music and forgetting about everything else. Prior reviews displayed Joe’s classy and professional character. If Joe had a tough night where things didn’t go well, he never disappointed his fans and continued to play his heart out. But tonight was a night where everything was perfect and what a way to end this tour!

THANK YOU to everyone who made this a memorable night:

1) The big-hearted event staff guy who let the kids get Corky Laing’s stick & Rev. Jones' pick in the pit and tried to help disengage the flash on a disposable camera so a fan could take photos during the concert;

2) 2 guys from Marin County that shared other JS & Vai concert stories with;

3) the other staff that discouraged attention from some of the restless natives while we waited in line for 2 ½ hours; and

4) notably Joe, Jeff, Galen, Stu and Mountain for putting on a top-notch tour!

This night is worth every penny spent, seconds waiting since August 3rd, sweats dropped during the whole show, almost getting my head knocked twice with Corky's sticks (got one of em..lol), and many other craps that usually would've pissed me off.

Joe's performance, the band, the sound, the whole vibe was out of this space, regardless that I somewhat felt the performance was a bit rushed (compared to Live 2006 in Anaheim or G3 2007).

The idea of the balloons at the end were rather annoying though for me. People end up focusing on blowing them up or tossing them to the stage rather than on the cool jam between Joe and Leslie. But whatever...at the end of the day, it was a great night, a great concert.

Thanks Joe for the awesome night and patiently answering our questions during the meet n greet. Thanks for signing my double satchurators, best of luck with "Chickenfoot" (are you guys still calling it that?), and see you next week at YouTube Live!
