@@frikfish7971 that was the first of 4 times I saw Satch. Twice from the 2nd row, one of those was a G3 tour with Vai. I'd love to see him again. He is amazing to watch. My brother has his pick from one of those shows, and Vai's from the G3 show. He keeps them in a frame with the ticket stubs..
You listen to Satriani when you were 15, he blows your mind. As the years pass you discover new music, new players, study music, play more than 30 years, struggle...a lot. Then, after a really long time you punch his name on the keyboard and watch him play. There it is, you are HOME. You can't overgrow Satriani man, you just can't...
I have seen Satriani live three times over the years. Absolutely mind blowing performer. Thanks Joe for moving me to tears when I first heard Surfing with the Alien as a teenager. You are undoubtedly the best composer alive today. Rock on!
it's incredible how well he is able to reproduce this song live, note-for-note. It took me way too long to figure out what Joe learned very early on - guitar is fucking FUN, and the better you get at it, the more fun it is.
I actually like it better when a fantastic musical performance is matched with good lyrics and them switching throughout. Brothers in Arms, November Rain and Pink Floyd is a great excample of this. They become guitar solos, rather than ... whatever this is, but still. A guitar solo has the added effect of breaking into what the rest of the song has established before. I love a good guitar solo entry !!
@@QazwerDave “whatever this is” well this is a musical masterpiece. Apparently you can’t see that. But, not everyone is privy to seeing masterpieces when they’re, quite literally, in front of their eyes
I just had to laugh when I saw the lights come up and he's just grinning like, "Listen to this"... This still makes an old vinyl-to-digital era radio guy like me grin like a kid. One of the greats without a doubt and he just lets the guitar speak for itself. Outstanding!
After all these decades, still my favourite. Memories as a 16 year old in the late 80s. Almost 52 now, still enthralled by this man's talent. Guitar God Status for sure.
This is, by far... the most STELLAR version of flying in a blue dream. It's beautiful, electrifying, sensational, exotic and so much more. Mr. Satriani... BRAVO. I'm sure this video itself is the reason why millions have taken up the instrument.
I listened and I listen Steve Vai, John Petrucci, Yngwie, Guthrie, Paul Gilbert and many other great guitarists, but.... No one can have so much emotion, so good sound, precise and many many other things like Satriani. He is definetely my best of best. Definetely!
I saw Joe twice. First gig I got a plectrum, I was second person deep to the stage, and second gig I got an autographed poster, dead chuffed. Thanks Joe, you are the reason I own 2 Ibanez guitars.
Still gives me goosebumps. Takes me back to 1991-1992 driving up to the Northern Beaches of Sydney with my boyfriend in his little sports car, playing this LOUD. Great times. Love Joe, love it when he comes to Australia. G3 is a blast too!
I saw Joe live only one time. The room went dark and he started playing this, and when the spotlight came up it was him center stage, chrome glasses, chrome guitar, throwing out sounds that captivated the entire audience. He looked majestic and calm as he worked that blazing guitar into such beautiful music with streams of light shining off the chrome. It was fantastic. Also not, the set musicians he plays with are supremely talented as well. It is not a one man show by any means.
Rythem guitarist is so spot on in this, his timing is crucial for the whole track and his opening chords were perfect and gave the whole scene a magical vibe
Guitarists make their albums for other guitarists. Joe makes albums for people who love music. He understands melody, dynamics and having a good time. No matter what people think of shred, they will dig his music. Side note, that live tone is goals!
You watch him up there grinning like a schoolkid who got TWO extra slices of pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving, and how can you NOT enjoy yourself? Few performers I've seen have been having such pure unadulterated fun as he's obviously having. * * - One of the things that endears Band Maid to me so much is how excited they are to be out there playing :)
I'm now 58 and i was married 25 years ago,i had a friend who was a guitar genius he was about 20 i said to him..you're gonna play this at my wedding..didn't take him long to learn it. At the wedding people just stood there in awe watching him play this flawlessly..he did some other satch songs,the best wedding present i got..he was naturally gifted as a musician. Damn i will never forget it.
I think I just found my new alarm ⏰ clock wake up ringtone. Thanks RUclips for pointing this priceless gem in my direction 🍷😎👍 This is the equivalent of drinking the strength of 100 cups of coffee in one single cup. I'm now watching this video for the 2nd time after feeling as if a light switch deep within my soul has just been turned on for the first time. My friend Terry passively mentioned Joe Satriani at the Thanksgiving table this past week then all of a sudden a couple of days later RUclips decides to magically turn me on to this life changing experience. 👋
Joe Satriani is a living legend and probably one of the top 3 guitar players I've ever seen if only on video. The first guy they show who is up front shaking his head in admiration knows he's in the presence of greatness and he knows he is about to witness it. Love you Joe!
I'm 23 and have played the guitar for YEARS but haven't ever listened to Joe Satriani. I've been missing out, I don't think I've smiled this much listening to guitar ever!
When I ws young, my middle brother and I never got along. One day, after school, he said 'c'mon...we gotta go, now!" I was confused. My mom & dad said - you better go with him. So I hopped into his white firebird with red flame stripes and he refused to tell me where we were going. Shockingly, it was a phenomenal car ride and we talked alot. We arrived in downtown Albany Ny at the Palace theater and the Marquee Letters blared "Tonight at 7 pm - Joe Satriani Surfing with the Alien tour" I screamed NO WAY!!!. Wow. I teared up. My first live show of Joe and it was awesome. Stu hamm there too. I'm 46 now, was 13 or 14 at the time and bought a bass when I was 12. Satch has changed my life in more ways than I can imagine and I've been a lifetime fan. God bless you brother, thank you for the most amazing, emotional music I've ever been blessed to hear. Hope you jam until you're 111 years old.
Oh man, I remember buying the album this was on when it was released. It was the first warm spring day of the year. Pulled the top down and popped the cassette into the stereo on my 1978 Alfa Romeo Spyder.... and all was good in the world. I can still picture that day with absolute clarity when I hear this.
They are both outstanding musicians....vai went off and did his own thing, and his own style. Satch just plays every style there is.....Pointless saying one is better than the other really!
I never said one was better than the other. They are both amazing, unique and influential. But you have to admit... Joe Satriani is a God. He taught Steve Vai. And Steve Vai is a God.
I saw Joe play back in the early 90's when I was a kid. I swore on everything holy that I was going to get a guitar and do the same thing. Well, here it is 2023 and I can tell you that I am a professional truck driver. lol But I listen to Joe when I am on the road, so...yeah, it kind of worked out...
I am never tired of this awesome masterpiece !!!! This song was the reason I begin playing guitar, many years ago, when I was 16 years old. I listen it today and feel the same emotion.
I wish I had the talent of some of you guys. All I wanted to say is that Yannick nailed it with, "awesome masterpiece". This music and musician are nothing less.
I was traveling from Seattle Washington to Columbus Ohio.I brought this cassette tape and a brand new cassette player and headphones.For the next four days I listened to Joe . My favorite ever since
I'd never heard this song until a childhood friend of mine posted it on Facebook. One early Saturday morning, I listened to it, got out of bed, got dressed, got in my car, and went for a drive as I listened to it again, and again. To date, it's one of my top ten favorite songs.
Do you still keep in contact with Dave? I am dying to know what that crash above is right floor Tom is??? Never seen it before....in fact what all of his cymbals are??
Those harmonics...that acoustic kickin' in takes me back... Summer of my junior year in high school...late nights...bonfires...good buddies...what a time...what a time. "Hey man...turn that up..."... Thanks Joe.
If that doesn’t make your skin crawl, get goosebumps or make a tear come out of one of your eyes…..you’re not a human. You have no feelings……..you’re the equivalent of a 2x4.
I think I've watched this at least a hundred times. Then, I bought every one of his albums off Amazon. Some are coming from England. This time next week, I will have the entire collection. Feels good. Feels like 1:27
Best G3 I ever attended. '96 (hard to believe it was that long ago). Satriani, Johnson, and Vai. Even being in the same county, much less the same building, with those immortals was something I will treasure the rest of my life.
In 1967 I picked up a guitar at 7, took lessons at 13 from Denny Zager, more lessons at 15 and then heard Jeff Beck's Blow by Blow and realized I had very little chance of being a Professional Guitar Player, but i still jammed, got bloody finger tips and was good enough to play in cover bands during College. Then I heard Satch and thanked God i chose to get a Degree in Elec Engineering. And now in2023 I have a good life and spend more time unplugged playing acoustic....but i still have over 20 guitars, Amps and PA and still bend strings at least 3 nights a week. Thanks Joe and Jeff for the Inspiration to play and love the Guitar and the reality of what i had the talent and will to Aspire to.
I remember listening to this Jam 20 years ago , as loud as possible while going 120-40 mph across the desert in a classic Hot Rod over and over again, with a hundred miles between point a and b. I was addicted. Every time I hear this song it reminds me and it equates to an adrenaline rush that Joe has always been able to dish out. Joe is part of the reason I play guitar and above all, I still believe he is the best.
he's amazing..and when he gives tutorials, his articulation is spot on..the man's a genius..I mean who can consistantly draw thousands of people, head of a band, without lyrics?
My best friend immersed himself in Joe's music after his Mum died of cancer when we were both 13. I talked about him tonight. We haven't spoken in years. Simon Bassett if you see this message, get in touch. X
This song still gives me goosebumps when I listen to it. I'll never forget the first time hearing this and was thinking oh...shit yeah this guy is a genius on guitar.
We live ,we breathe,we listen,we ,and we love tge 80s music,.That is the rime machine,Takes you fae back as you want ro go and your memories strong from ehen the music you herd back them❤
Thanks Joe for shaking my hand and singing my ticket in Tower records in Hollywood early 2000's!!! Canes ballroom . Greek Theater with Dream Theater. Great show !!! Thank you for for being A cool dude! And Original! To the Top Sir!!!
i respect your opinion but for me its the opposite, vais whammy bar is mich more controlled imo. but theres no point in arguing i guess, theyre both absolute legends

Satch shreds so well that all his hair traveled to his forearms to get a better look at him shredding.

Joe Satriani is a true pioneer pushing the limits and potential of the guitar, a genius with great soul in his craft.
And whatever about how good he is technically as a guitarist, it’s always ALL about the songs. The guitar playing just happens to be amazing.
it's incredible how well he is able to reproduce this song live, note-for-note. It took me way too long to figure out what Joe learned very early on - guitar is fucking FUN, and the better you get at it, the more fun it is.
In the 90's I used to tell people that the only thing that brought me joy was playing guitar.
The better I play, more I can feel. And then I get lost in the music. Pure joy.
Joe later went on to become the emoji for "cool" 😎
EL*o*EL 😎🎸
Cool #9 emoji 😎
The very embodiment of Joe Cool
Ha ha. That’s really cool dude 🤘😎
Lol 😎😎😎😎😎😂😂😂😂😂
Jimi Hendrix would be so proud and astonished to hear Joe Satriani.
Eddie van Halen and Randy rhoads too
I remember listening to this DVD when I was 12, I'm now 27 and revisiting this. I'm still blown away.
Same❤😊❤
Me too.
This is the difference between a guitar player and a recording 🎭 artist.
I remember watching it with my pops.. always a good memory
In the early 90's I would ride my bike in the early mornings delivering newspapers and listening to Satch on a cassette Walkman. Good times indeed. 👍

Each of Satch's songs has more melodies than 100 modern pop songs.
15 years old when I bought this album. Still blows my mind 40+ years later. So damn good!
Yep. Rarely not in my player (holds six cds)
This is probably my favorite Satch song. Maybe it's because it's in the Lydian mode, and done so well. It just sounds so unique and memorable.
Best G3 I ever attended. '96 (hard to believe it was that long ago). Satriani, Johnson, and Vai. Even being in the same county, much less the same building, with those immortals was something I will treasure the rest of my life.
Just amazing talent! Thanx you!!❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
In 1967 I picked up a guitar at 7, took lessons at 13 from Denny Zager, more lessons at 15 and then heard Jeff Beck's Blow by Blow and realized I had very little chance of being a Professional Guitar Player, but i still jammed, got bloody finger tips and was good enough to play in cover bands during College. Then I heard Satch and thanked God i chose to get a Degree in Elec Engineering. And now in2023 I have a good life and spend more time unplugged playing acoustic....but i still have over 20 guitars, Amps and PA and still bend strings at least 3 nights a week. Thanks Joe and Jeff for the Inspiration to play and love the Guitar and the reality of what i had the talent and will to Aspire to.
Seems Joe had a lot of fun that night. What a tour through emotion.
I remember listening to this Jam 20 years ago , as loud as possible while going 120-40 mph across the desert in a classic Hot Rod over and over again, with a hundred miles between point a and b. I was addicted. Every time I hear this song it reminds me and it equates to an adrenaline rush that Joe has always been able to dish out. Joe is part of the reason I play guitar and above all, I still believe he is the best.
You aren't alone
I have similar experiences in my Vette. Loud as possible with the pedal mashed in the AZ desert.
35 years later.. I still have some chills at some key moments.
His melodies are amazing. He's the only guitar player I think we're you can sing his solos. Such a great player. I've seen him 3 times. Amazing!!
Joe is the Master of tone, he has a beautiful voice with his axe.
he's amazing..and when he gives tutorials, his articulation is spot on..the man's a genius..I mean who can consistantly draw thousands of people, head of a band, without lyrics?
I’m 56 years old. When i started listening to early Satriani, my friends looked at me like wth is that?? All i could say, its Joe… listen and learn….
Joe Satriani can be just magic, not more, not less.
today is my birthday, and our Anniversary. Joe your da man and I'm celebrating 32 years of Joe! God bless you.
What you have to admire is that he didn't trip over anything despite wearing sunglasses in a very dark room with multiple things to stumble on.
My best friend immersed himself in Joe's music after his Mum died of cancer when we were both 13. I talked about him tonight. We haven't spoken in years. Simon Bassett if you see this message, get in touch. X
Drums/bass/electric/acoustic - yes that’s all you need!!! Pure sonic joy!
The master in Blue n this made me fly back then n still does after almost quater of a century when i first heard this .... Love this forever 🙏💙🙏
Got the album day of release and it never got took off turntable for months. Then you hear how he has improved it nearly 30 years later. BEAUTIFUL!!
Guitar legend 🎸😎 amazing massive respect always
This song still gives me goosebumps when I listen to it.
I'll never forget the first time hearing this and was thinking oh...shit yeah this guy is a genius on guitar.
Would listen to Joe at full volume when driving to the beach for a surf - perfect conditioning music!
This is the tune that introduced me to the Satriani magic about 3 decades ago. Timeless stuff.

Absolutely one of the best ever ...i haven't heard one bad song from him
He has plenty but the amount of amazing songs over his entire career can’t be topped
i will was a never give a fuck forthat gay
The best guitarist of the World and of full Time.
I love Steve Vai, but Satch's whammy bar use is much more tasteful to me. Never ever gets old.
i respect your opinion but for me its the opposite, vais whammy bar is mich more controlled imo. but theres no point in arguing i guess, theyre both absolute legends
