I love how EVERY single video I see of Paul playing he looks like he is having the best time he's ever had in his life. This man is motivation to play embodied. So rad.

What an "opening" to a show!
Fantastic medley !! I didn't remember that Racer X's songs was so powerful? Fans must be happy. Paul Gilbert's play is still fast when he want... and that pinky !!
I personally think that he's getting better throughout the years :) He's played some new licks, as well as some older ones which he didn't play for a while. I think he didn't miss a single note too :P
I used to see Racer X all the time in LA when I was a teenager. Paul still has the most unbelievable picking hand of any player I've ever seen, and a totally unique tone and feel that's (at least to me) as instantly recognizable as Yngwie, that other guy who plays incredibly quick, yet naturally. :P
00:00 Intro Typical Awesome PG licks!!! 0:52 Street Lethal - Racer X 2:13 : Into the Night - Racer X 2:51 Blowing up the radio - Racer x 4:53 Scarified -racer x 7:36 Take a Walk - Mr Big 8:20 Anything for you Mr. Big 9:03 Daddy Brother Lover Little Boy 10:25 Green Tinted Sixties Mind 11:39 Nothing but love 12:45 No idea for now, anyone?? 13:14 No idea yet 13:27 No Idea Yet 13:43 Down to Mexico 14:50 Gilberto Concerto 14:56 : Individually Twisted 15:58: No idea yet 16:17 SnakeBite 16:59 Fire of Rock 18:42 Bliss 21:17 I like Rock 21:46 superheros 22:23 Viking Kong 23:38 boku no atama 24:18 Spaceship One You are welcome. Fill in the gaps if you know the songs
12:49 A Little Too Loose 13:12 Champagne (from Paul's "King Of Clubs" album - thanks qdaveq for reminding me of this!) 13:25 Seven Impossible Days (I think Paul wrote this for his solo album but it somehow ended up on Mr. Big's the best of) Already did the whole list in the first comment :)
I wish that too. I've been standing on the left-center side of the stage and thought the same thing. I tried to make up for the rest of audience, which you can hear in 24:20 (clapping is done by me :D).
I'm glad I was there in a front row too. It's very hard to be closer to PG if you consider on how big stages he usually play :) Great footage, thanks for bringing back the memories bro.
Ed had his guys that he watched and learned from as well.. Ed is not the first guy to use the two finger tapping stuff. Paul blows EVH away with his technical and diversity skills..
Paul also learned from Yngwie J. Malmsteen and Joe Satriani and watch Steve Vai playing with Zappa.He also loved Prince.All great guitar players.Thanks guys for the music.Keep on playing.
Stupid comment! Eddie and Paul are words apart. Besides, there were a ton of guys who could play fast, but none did what Eddie did. Maybe just appreciate them both instead of comparing them...
What is the Ibanez model he is playing? I have the PGM301, but mine has fixed bridge (no tremolo) and I have HSH pickups whereas Paul's is HH. Anybody knows?
That's probably a custom made PGM, I don't see it on Ibanez's catalog. I know Ibanez made some Mikro guitars with a PGM look so Paul could take them on his travels. I don't think they're for sale, though.
GrayColors and the one on the stand that he plays get out of my yard and 3 E's for Edward on is a PGMM31, it's a miKro guitar (22.5 scale), Ibanez are now selling them as a production model for €200
More specifically it's the PolyTuner clip on. One of the most accurate (if not THE most accurate) clip-on tuners on the market right now. It allows you to tune your guitar by banging on all the strings at once (lower accuracy) or with a strobe tuner (high accuracy). I have two of these bad boys myself, they are that awesome.
Randomnameezz he uses ear buds now, instead of using over ear protectors where he was cranking in ear monitor volumes up high and still causing damage to his ears...
Way Putra having seen both, they both have their qualities and are very different, but for me personally I'd pick Paul over Steve, but Steve does put on an incredible show
They’re both great but I think Gilbert is the most dynamic player I’ve ever seen. He doesn’t just play the same speed stuff over and over. He can, but he mixes it up and plays every style imaginable perfectly. Nothing taken away from Vai. I don’t think among these top guys anyone is more talented or better because they’re all gifted and can play any of one another’s songs. I just like Gilbert’s variety and creativity better than anyone else out there.
***** Throughout the years, so far I only saw him used whammy bar like 4 times. He's not into it cause it doesn't fit his way of playing and the whammy bar just gets in the way while he's playing. Even the treble switch and knobs makes him uncomfortable. He said it on the video of "PGM-Fireman" in the making. He still rocks with or without it. He's Paul. :D
Good technical skills but a clear lack of feelings. His classical moves are Great but perhaps due to my sound ! s better mixing.. why not play more of these classical moves and forget all these boring power chords. I wonder why.
He has range to play everything not just the same thing repeatedly. I get bored hearing speed nonstop. It wears the ear out like eating ice cream nonstop. It’s good for a while, even a big portion, but I don’t want to eat it for two hours nonstop. His variety is what I like best over the other greats.

And it is! I knew I heard it somewhere and couldn't figure out what it was! I blame Paul for putting it in the middle of a Mr. Big medley! :)
Thx 4 that! awesome as hell
Oh no problem! I love PG's music as much as the next guy :)

Fantastic medley !!
I didn't remember that Racer X's songs was so powerful? Fans must be happy.
Paul Gilbert's play is still fast when he want... and that pinky !!
I personally think that he's getting better throughout the years :) He's played some new licks, as well as some older ones which he didn't play for a while. I think he didn't miss a single note too :P
He never misses a note...
Such a LEGEND!!!
Thanks Mr Paul Gilbert.
Paul is one of the best on the planet. No doubt at all!
The Master…
What a player. I never get bored of listening to PG shredding.
I'm very surprised and impressed that Paul could do all of this with short hair.
Fact: His pinkie is XXXL+
Don’t even get me started on the thickness of his pick either!!
Incredible medley! Couldn't find my jaw....dropped it somewhere...
I got carpal tunnel watching this video. Thanks, Paul!
I used to see Racer X all the time in LA when I was a teenager. Paul still has the most unbelievable picking hand of any player I've ever seen, and a totally unique tone and feel that's (at least to me) as instantly recognizable as Yngwie, that other guy who plays incredibly quick, yet naturally. :P

Already did the whole list in the first comment :)
15:58 - Girl's Watching (w Jimi Kidd)
Jimi kidd? His uncle?
Yup, they recorded the "Blues Power" album together
damn, i just found this video... some of Paul's best live videos
he was really on fire!
saw paul on tour last night. absolutely incredible performance. the most technically proficient guitarist i've ever witnessed live
I was at that gig in Manchester too. Well worth the money just for that opening medley alone.
i agree. loved the whole medley, especially the racer x stuff
I feel so cool just by listening to Paul Gilbert's music.
Paul is the man!! Funny that in the middle of all the brilliance he's got that one whammy bar move lol.
Didn't knew Thomas Lang was on tour with Paul. Damn! Great monster playing by Paul as usual!
ポールは永遠のギターヒーローです。
No mercy from Thomas, omg what a killer and powerfull drumming. Paul was phenomenal as usual, great show. I just wish the audience was more lively ...
I wish that too. I've been standing on the left-center side of the stage and thought the same thing. I tried to make up for the rest of audience, which you can hear in 24:20 (clapping is done by me :D).
Well, there was two of us then, 'cause I did the same job on the right side ;)
Sol Thomas was unreal.
But the drums are too loud! It might be just due to camera mic but drums is overpowering every instrument in this recording
Well, I wouldn't expect perfect sound quality from a smartphone. On site it all sounded good.
I'm glad I was there in a front row too. It's very hard to be closer to PG if you consider on how big stages he usually play :) Great footage, thanks for bringing back the memories bro.
Saw paul last night in Paris, HOT DAMN !
it's like a dream come true!!! :)))
i can continue for 10 more hours...
EVH may have reinvented the electric guitar but Paul Gilbert perfected it!!!!
Ed had his guys that he watched and learned from as well.. Ed is not the first guy to use the two finger tapping stuff. Paul blows EVH away with his technical and diversity skills..
Paul also learned from Yngwie J. Malmsteen and Joe Satriani and watch Steve Vai playing with Zappa.He also loved Prince.All great guitar players.Thanks guys for the music.Keep on playing.
So well stated! Right on!
Stupid comment! Eddie and Paul are words apart. Besides, there were a ton of guys who could play fast, but none did what Eddie did. Maybe just appreciate them both instead of comparing them...
25 minutes of freakin' amazin' guitargasm!
I saw the show aswell, it was mindblowing!!
what a intro thats how yea start a song..
Master at work. Awesome!
Into The Night riff always gives me the chills, perfect tempo, not so slow not so fast
Dzięki za wrzutę! Świetny koncert!
OMG absolutely amazing!!!
Thomas hits so hard, he probably isn't even mic'd LOL!
Awesome! I have got to see Paul the next time he comes near TX.
he's a beast
Excellent
again gonna try to but all off the drops of my face in the refrigerator, complete facemelt
I like Scarified in this slightly slower tempo.
Thank you for sharing it!
Супер!
hats of to paul as always, one of my favo players. But the real MVP here is the bassplayer :P jesus!
naah
I was there, AWESOME
God, he's fucking insane!
daddy brother, tinted sixties mind + nothing but love+seven imposible days ...yeahhhhh
Awesome video, thanks!
His Mother is Polish I believe ... ? True Guitar Maestro indeed !
oh this is great thanks man...
This guy is even better than Vai..not by a lot but he just is
Yeaaahhh paul!!!!
Я не понимаю тут глухие ставит Лайки 21 век А КАЧЕСТВО ЗВУКА 50 годов..Я в шоке....
He can pick :)
dam!
AYY LAAGG ROOGG! HOORRAAY!
please tell me there are people sing a long to his song. i mean like, bliss, down to mexico, etc. i cant resist to sing.
street lethal fuck yeah
No way this was six years ago now…
That's why Joe Satriani included him on some G3 shows.
You will never own him.
😬✊❤️👏👏👏Monster, see you after tomorrow
Anyone who knows what guitar he is using here? I would like to know what pickups it is.
looks like pauls goining through a pete townsend phase with the coveralls and beard!!!!!!
La même tenue que Pete Townsend live à woodstock
это не Фильм ,Это МУЗЫКА ...Где качество????
What is the Ibanez model he is playing? I have the PGM301, but mine has fixed bridge (no tremolo) and I have HSH pickups whereas Paul's is HH. Anybody knows?
That's probably a custom made PGM, I don't see it on Ibanez's catalog. I know Ibanez made some Mikro guitars with a PGM look so Paul could take them on his travels. I don't think they're for sale, though.
It's a new model, I think Paul was showing it off early this year/late last year. It might make it into production (it's basically a PGM 80P but H-H)
GrayColors it's a custom version of the PGM80P
GrayColors and the one on the stand that he plays get out of my yard and 3 E's for Edward on is a PGMM31, it's a miKro guitar (22.5 scale), Ibanez are now selling them as a production model for €200
What that white thing on Paul's headstock? I just saw Vai 2 weeks ago and he had the same thing on all his guitars. I can't place what it is.
electric tuner
Gotcha. Thanks dude. I thought it might be something different. Quite frankly, its kinda distracting to look at. Just use a pedal board version :-P
More specifically it's the PolyTuner clip on. One of the most accurate (if not THE most accurate) clip-on tuners on the market right now. It allows you to tune your guitar by banging on all the strings at once (lower accuracy) or with a strobe tuner (high accuracy).
I have two of these bad boys myself, they are that awesome.
Is he using a new kind of pgm without middle pickup and much smaller??????????????
Alberto Dessì the one he's mainly using is a custom shop version of the pgm80p, the one on the stand is a PGMM31 miKro guitar
is there a studio record of this medley?
Rose Gonzales possibly gonna be one called pg30 released next Wednesday 22/3/17
PG not wearing headphones on stage anymore?
monomaiden i was wondering about that too. Looks like he doesn't even have small earplugs in.
monomaiden he's wearing ear plugs
No noise-cancelling headphones?
He hasn't used them for a few years now. It's likely he's using another form of hearing protection.
He uses ear-plugs now
He's still using dude but in the huge stages. In the small ones he's using in-ear monitors.
Randomnameezz he uses ear buds now, instead of using over ear protectors where he was cranking in ear monitor volumes up high and still causing damage to his ears...
steve vai or paul gilbert?
Why choose when you can have both?
both are completely different
Way Putra having seen both, they both have their qualities and are very different, but for me personally I'd pick Paul over Steve, but Steve does put on an incredible show
They’re both great but I think Gilbert is the most dynamic player I’ve ever seen. He doesn’t just play the same speed stuff over and over.

I don’t think among these top guys anyone is more talented or better because they’re all gifted and can play any of one another’s songs. I just like Gilbert’s variety and creativity better than anyone else out there.
Who's the bass player?
josiahgust Pete Griffin
who's playing on bass?
Peter Griffin. (seriously).
Michael Lewis haha lol
He's using a whammy bar. :D
Yes, but unfortunately he only knows ONE way of using it.
***** Throughout the years, so far I only saw him used whammy bar like 4 times. He's not into it cause it doesn't fit his way of playing and the whammy bar just gets in the way while he's playing. Even the treble switch and knobs makes him uncomfortable. He said it on the video of "PGM-Fireman" in the making. He still rocks with or without it. He's Paul. :D
Russel Renz Nerosa he said he goes through phases of using the whammy bar, the guitar he's using is a custom shop version of the pgm80p
Paul Gilbert супер, но зачем так издеватса?👀
Good technical skills but a clear lack of feelings. His classical moves are Great but perhaps due to my sound ! s better mixing.. why not play more of these classical moves and forget all these boring power chords. I wonder why.
