    "Elephant Talk" and "Indiscipline" are two songs that I thought I'd burned out on, but the energy Vai and Carey bring is awesome..and Belew and Levin clearly are splashing around in the Fountain of Youth having a blast (despite probably some stress in the set at trying to remember all the parts and lyrics). Killer band-I can't imagine how amazing it will be once they've eased into a groove after a few shows.

    I was at this show - first one, a little rough around the edges at first, but they found their groove! I appreciated how Vai *both* played some stuff as close to Fripp's style as possible, and some he Vai-ified, even within the same solo. This particular track, the first solo (a Fripper) he played exactly like Fripp. In fact, Vai sounded more like Fripp than Belew sounded like Belew in his solo!! And then a new Vai solo added. Pretty darned cool!

    Vai is also a memorable person for me. When I was in elementary school, my father would play “I would love to”. It was like the door to another world. Now I play the bass (not guitar…), but it is absolutely their influence!!!
