boceth - Hello. Here is a set list (tentative - I did NOT put this into the palm pilot during the show, which would make for an exact list) that I came up with a couple days after the show in Cleveland at the Agora Theater on April 8th:
Eric Johnson - Summer Jam, Top Of The Mountain, My Back Pages, Trademark, Bloom, Righteous, Camel's Night Out, Columbia, Cliffs Of Dover - somewhere he played a Hendrix song that I do not have nor do I know the name of it.
Joe Satriani - Flying In A Blue Dream, The Extremist, Psycho Monkey, Cool No. 9, The Eight Steps, Speed Of Light, Always With Me Always With You, Super Colossal, Just Like Lightnin', A Cool New Way, I Believe, The Mystical Potato Head Groove Thing, Surfing With The Alien, Ten Words, Mind Storm, New Blues Beach, Satch Boogie, ENCORE Crowd Chant, Summer Song
Then here is a review:
Cleveland, Agora Theater Show, April 8th will forever remain in my mind as the greatest show ever. I can honestly say I would have paid to see only Eric Johnson or only Joe Satriani, alone, either. It was a cool night, the mood was right, and rock was to get a taste of immortality! I would LOVE to have had a DVD of it! I only wish!
Eric Johnson is so good, and he is night and day different from Satch, both in style and approach. I was shocked that Johnson was LOUDER than Satch. Not any of the following play louder: not VH, not Hagar, not Whitesnake, not Scorpions, not KISS; nobody plays louder than Eric Johnson except maybe Spinal Tap.
It affects who can and how well they can hear Eric's voice. EJ, you're one of the best - USE A MACINTOSH. Connect that to your system, elimate the old amps, eliminate the hum, lower the volume and you're SET! Use Satch's parameters, but in your realm, please!
Satch, you're sound is virtually PERFECT! Everything was beyond kosher. MY SON and I were the only two in our section (balcony) who knew what the hell to do during "Crowd Chant" which ironically was in my head all day, and I was as happy to hear it as I was during "Summer Song" closing the show. You're the best SATCH! NO PUN INTENDED.
Joe Satriani is so good he doesn't take himself seriously. That's huge! Playing, slow moving, nodding.... You are just "Cool", Big C. That's in the spirit of one of my jams "Wow, Big W".....
Never change, Satch. Eric, if you read this, you rock to the Heavens too! PLEASE re-consider your get up and set up. You could emulate every tone you want with a Mac! NO HUM!
Then here is a great idea:
I sent this email earlier today. I think all who agree should also be so inclined to follow suit. tonightshow@nbc.com - tell these guys you highly recommend they insert Satch into their lineup! It was a great idea I saw posted earlier.
