I love the way he plays these songs slightly differently each time he goes live. Just the odd section, more taps, more bends. Every one is an original. And he LOVES to play, that's so clear. Best guitarist the World will ever know.
You see, I love improvisation and it's an essential skill in a musician and of course I love it with guitarists, but there are times when a piece is composed with a certain riff, a certain melody and indeed, sometimes a certain LEAD. We all know Satch can legato his way up and down scales and modes, highlight chord changes, all that stuff. But for me, there's a very specific actual solo/lead that he played on the studio record of a piece like 'War' that I think is wholly part of the piece, it's not just 'some take', although it may have been that at the time. There are other pieces in Satch's huge catalog that I feel are much more 'free' for reinterpretation, and almost any fan would acknowledge that a piece like Cool #9, within the overall structure; is just waiting for whatever Dorian-based ideas Satch can throw at it each time he plays it live. But something like 'Crush of Love'? Nope, it has to be played as it is.
Incredible guitarist and human being was able to meet him and Eric Johnson, both on the same tour it was such an awesome day! War is my Favorite of all my faves of Satriani
@@DanielVerberne I'm two years late to the party here but just want to say I wholeheartedly agree. I was so wanting to hear the "studio" version played the same "live". 10 seconds into the heart of the "war" I was disappointed. Back to the studio version I go.
The Extremist is (for me) the best Joe's album, and one of the greatest instrumental albums ever! Joe, You're not only guitar but musical-emotional genius. Thank you.
All right, we all know and agree that Satch is a guitar god, but let's not forget his great band. They are the guys who make it possible for Joe to go crazy and come up with all these amazing tunes.
Alan and Mike have really come together nicely with Jeff Joe and Galen. This is best line up. Alan attacks and gives awesome presence and sound. I have heard and love Stu and Dave. This is something different. Like Matt Bisonette on red bull. Great BAND Joe Satriani. MY favorite line up after all these years. And to think he was crying behind those sunglasses cause of his mom. My music hero. And I'm a drummer.
Joe, Now this is what we call - A kickass video ! We do not want another cartoon network - Live in Paris DVD video format. Stick to this, we all love to see your fingers at work.
I remember air-guitaring that riff through all the changes to my sister and her boyfriend. They looked at me like I was a deranged dude...which I was... 😎
I don't understand you folks. The solo here is just an improv - don't you miss the studio version of the solo? THAT was the War solo, not some random blues solo then switching the wah-wah on for the legato part. I wish Satch would honour the recorded parts rather than fucking with them. As I've said before, there are pieces in Satch's vast repertoire like Cool #9 that totally lend themselves to an almost jazzy approach; to a free-structured, free-flowing re-interpretation of the piece within the overall Dorian-blues structure; but there's also pieces that are awesome BECAUSE of the specific part Joe laid down at recording.
I love that there are no costumes, no gimmicks, no fanfare!!! Just as you see artists!!!! Joe and his band doing great music!!!!!!! i suppose the video in the background is fanfare but not so much compared to what is the norm today. Go Joe!
I used to be a fan of Joe Satriani, too, but after he threw out his American pedals and started buying Chinese pedals, the sound completely disappeared from him, the sound became dirty and bad Since then he needs to throw out everything Chinese and get his happiness back
this is the heaviest and raunchiest i've heard Joe's songs sound live! The sound and chemistry and energy here is palpably potent!!! This is how this song deserves to be staged and experienced by us and the band. WOW ... War sounds so #$&%$%$ good here!!!!
Love it. Seeing this performance again, brings back some awesome memories. Going to this concert in Brussels was one of the best decisions ever, especially because I got to see the man backstage. He appears to be such a normal man and yet he blows your mind away like it's nothing.
holy shit..his best work. i'm takin the kids. the good ears love his big music. one step ahead as always joe. band is super tight. campo and joe are a force. way to stick with your drummer buddy. from drum samples to this...incredible.
It's just a shame it's in the wrong tuning, the effect is not the same as the studio version. Meant to be all a half step lower, which gives all the instruments a darker and quite different tone. But .....most fans don't seem to care.
Amazing powerful sound. BTW, I always loved the job his crew does on his shows, I know Joe is very demanding on his production! His shows have always been great and well organized! Always enjoyed them! Cheers to everyone! :) waiting for blu-ray to enjoy this show at home with 7.1 I'm sure it's gonna have perfect sound mix!
The in the pocket groove that lays down a solid canvas for melodic melt your face off guitar is just mesmerizing🤘🤘🤘‼️‼️‼️And the melody of War is stellar🤲✌️🤲
I have only been playing guitar for around 4 years, but Joe Satriani has to be my main influence to play guitar. I have never witnessed a more mindblowing performance than any Satch song. It's not just the tone, or the guitar, or the faces.. It's the excellent songwriting this guy does, it is the coolest thing in the world to be able to make simple stuff sound so awesome. Joe Satriani is my biggest influence!!
I used to be a fan of Joe Satriani, too, but after he threw out his American pedals and started buying Chinese pedals, the sound completely disappeared from him, the sound became dirty and bad Since then he needs to throw out everything Chinese and get his happiness back
No, it's not only you. it was exactly a year since his mother passed away. Joe said that he didn't sleep a wink the night before this concert and was a ''nervous wreck''. I think he put on a truly amazing show, given the sad circumstances.
Yep Vai is surely Joe's prodidgy, He found fame before his Master but never forgot the face of his master (Old school people any where in the world had great values even in the fame industry). He Introduced Joe at many gigs and never once claimed that he was greater than Joe. Mostly Joe's early great work went unnoticed specially the album ' Flying in a blue dream' which till date most contemporary rock guitarist arguably say that was his greatest work. Man 3 Cheers for Steve Vai too
I saw Brother Joe LIVE in San Diego many many years ago. I've always loved his "Strange and Beautiful" music!! He signed a guitar for a friend of mine just months before he passed away. What an Honor!! Where is Satch now? Does anybody know? Please tell me. Forever, I will be "Flying in a Blue Dream" while "Surfing with the Alien" in all of my creative pursuits. Hail Satch!!
U r the man...the melodies u write are so beautiful and expressive. I just bought ur 30th anniversary guitar along with a 50 watt Mesa boogie! The croc...bc it’s red!

I would put the Extremist and Crystal Planet right up there..
I was so glad he added War on the Saturated tour. This my favourite live version. Joe and the band are on top form. 🤘
All right, we all know and agree that Satch is a guitar god, but let's not forget his great band. They are the guys who make it possible for Joe to go crazy and come up with all these amazing tunes.
Jeff Campitelli is one of my favourite drummers....I just love his whole sound, and his drum parts work perfectly with Joes awesome guitar work :p
Joe has called him the human metronome.
He fits Joes style perfectly. Love it !!
Jeff is a perfect fit.
Love this band.
Joe is from another planet and I’m not sure what planet but I bet they all play guitar. The greatest without a doubt
👽🎸🎶
the riff at 1:59 is the grooviest ever composed ...
key change?
Top je
Alan and Mike have really come together nicely with Jeff Joe and Galen. This is best line up.

MY favorite line up after all these years. And to think he was crying behind those sunglasses cause of his mom. My music hero. And I'm a drummer.
The best musician, and person. Satriani is amazing.
OMG.. this keyboard line changed the game.
That keyboard player really adds something.
Joe is always good.
+Icepacalypse johnson That's Mike Keneally, he's a fantastic musician!
Mike Keneally is a GOD!
2:30 wow
The best of all Guitarist!!.
Satch is one of most talented guitarists on the planet. He always plays amazingly and gets incredible tones.
Joe, Now this is what we call - A kickass video !
We do not want another cartoon network - Live in Paris DVD video format.
Stick to this, we all love to see your fingers at work.
1:58 That's the most bad-ass riff I've ever heard.
I remember air-guitaring that riff through all the changes to my sister and her boyfriend. They looked at me like I was a deranged dude...which I was... 😎
THAT SOLO!!! Oh my God!!! Such a Master !!
Too right!😎

A fan since Surfing with the Alien...saw him in Seattle on the Extremist tour. I'll never forget it. Legend.
SUPER JOE SATRIANI ............................................. INCREDIBLE !
Joe Is Timeless
I love that there are no costumes, no gimmicks, no fanfare!!! Just as you see artists!!!! Joe and his band doing great music!!!!!!! i suppose the video in the background is fanfare but not so much compared to what is the norm today. Go Joe!

Joe-hannes Sebastiani...
Joe is the beast of beasts. Long live Joe!
His hair migrated from his head to his arms to get closer to the music.

I used to be a fan of Joe Satriani, too, but after he threw out his American pedals and started buying Chinese pedals, the sound completely disappeared from him, the sound became dirty and bad Since then he needs to throw out everything Chinese and get his happiness back
this is the heaviest and raunchiest i've heard Joe's songs sound live! The sound and chemistry and energy here is palpably potent!!! This is how this song deserves to be staged and experienced by us and the band. WOW ... War sounds so #$&%$%$ good here!!!!
Great song and one of the craziest solos Joe ever recorded.
The new version with keyboards its awesome!!! I love it! More modern!! Great job guys!!
Sheer talent!
Greatest guitar player that ever lived or will.
AWESOME TRACK ... I CAN HEAR IT 100000000 TIMES
I have never disliked a Joe Satriani concert----ever.
Love it. Seeing this performance again, brings back some awesome memories. Going to this concert in Brussels was one of the best decisions ever, especially because I got to see the man backstage. He appears to be such a normal man and yet he blows your mind away like it's nothing.
This is one of his best performances....what a Guitar GOD.
My favorite guitar player of all times. Always amazing. Oh my God. I'm going to buy a TV 3D and a Blue Ray 3D only to watch it at home several times.
holy shit..his best work. i'm takin the kids. the good ears love his big music. one step ahead as always joe. band is super tight. campo and joe are a force. way to stick with your drummer buddy. from drum samples to this...incredible.
2:45 gives me goosebumps every time. Such a vicious riff.
It's just a shame it's in the wrong tuning, the effect is not the same as the studio version. Meant to be all a half step lower, which gives all the instruments a darker and quite different tone. But .....most fans don't seem to care.
im sure ... im pretty sure ... i am crying rite now for this BEAUTIFUL creation of satriani .. THANKS BE TO GOD ....
That lead section jeeeeeez!!!
The Ultimate Master! I don't play guitar, but I sure don't hear any mistakes with Joe's playing.
the time where that song was made, I had the biggest loud speaker in my room. Awesome song blasting through my speakers.
We recharge the batteries of life with Mr. Santriani pure adrenaline rockkkkkkk
the master of all guitar gods
just amazing one of my favorite satch lives....I cannot even imagine anyone who likes this type of music can have ANY complaint.....
So bad ass... this dude absolutely rips...
Was the best show I saw live ever at the metropolis
Big fan of Joes. Have been for years.
Oh my god.. Joe satriani live on stage.. Listen to his guitar sounds... Brilliant.....
one of my fave tunes!..this is considered a classic!definitely!..LONG LIVE SATCH!!!..KEEP ON SHREDDING AND ROCKING!!!
"War" was one of the biggest early rock guitar influences on me. The loud, in your face playing, with middle-eastern flavours, it was very new to me.
The distortion is killing me!! YEAH ROCK!
The first , the giant , the living leyend of guitar !!! Satriani rules !!!
I had the riff from this song stuck in my head constantly from 2006-2008. No joke, and I still love this song.
I love the way the keyboard doubles with the melody guitar after the solo. Love that sound.
Amazing powerful sound. BTW, I always loved the job his crew does on his shows, I know Joe is very demanding on his production! His shows have always been great and well organized! Always enjoyed them! Cheers to everyone! :) waiting for blu-ray to enjoy this show at home with 7.1 I'm sure it's gonna have perfect sound mix!
Seeing you in 3 weeks.......STOOOOOOOOOOKED!!!!!!!!!
That is some really good graphics for 2012
been to see joe tonight at city hall, newcastle upon tyne and i was mesmerised.
Saw Satch in 1989 at the Cotati Cabaret in Cotati, California. He just gets better and better.
Uyeaaaahhhhhh Mr Joe...sound from a heaven🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘
Had this tune running through my fragile little mind while swimming today.
Arguably the best player on the planet, or any other!
A masterpiece in every aspect .
What Can you Say ? Joe is a Maestro ...........
The in the pocket groove that lays down a solid canvas for melodic melt your face off guitar is just mesmerizing🤘🤘🤘‼️‼️‼️And the melody of War is stellar🤲✌️🤲
Joe taught Steve how to play, but both have there own style's my two favorite guitarist.....

El teclado con la guitarra ufffffffff 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Total mastery of the fretboard. Tone. Melody. Speed. Feedback control! He's got it all. Been a fan since Surfin'.
Kind of Michael Jordan of the guitar. Control of everything 👍
