I told my bro, who has lived in Calgary for many years, to first listen to some Joe and then to get off his ass and support Joe in concert.... This is what he had to say:

"Great show last night in Calgary by Joe Satriani!!He played with backup Mountain at the Jack Singer concert hall a place well know for its acoustic excellence. At times you could close your eyes as if you were playing his tracks back on your home system at max volume, hard to tell the difference. His live performance from the songs I know were crisp and clean very well done in a live atmosphere. Remember when I said Mike do you have anything new I can listen to eh !! The very best live show I have ever been to !! Say hello to everyone Mike for me please !!

Thanks man "

another convert I'd say......

Hey everyone :) I interviewed Joe a little while ago for Mixdown magazine here in Australia. The word limit was 1,000 but the interview was about 3,000 words long, so I've posted the whole thing on my guitar blog.

Joe has some very interesting things to say about recording the Musterion CD and designing the Satchurator. Hope you enjoy the interview.

Does anyone know approximately how often Joe is on the site? Does he visit chat more than the board?

ONLY 21 MORE DAYS TILL THE ATLANTA SHOW!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!

Please, please, please pick me for the after show prize tickets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey joe! I have never missed a show in minnesota in the last 15 years! I was hoping that you could play some off the time machine cd!! See you tuesday!!

Hybes:

Saw the Edmonton show last night. Worth waiting 18 years for!

Club Joe was OK - would have been incredible but the venue was too big so we couldn't hear 95% of what Joe was saying. Meeting the man was great, though! He signed my white JS1 and told me that the wood is different in these ogriginal guitars; these have Japanese basswood while the later models have basswood sourced from anywhere.

The show was phenominal! I was 2 meters from Joe for the whole concert; it was like he came to my house and was playing just for me. The set list was a good mix of old and new. I've been a fan for 20 years and I like his new stuff the best! The performance was just incredible - Joe is the Yoda of the electric guitar.

Got some great pix of his gear including the pedals. He played the entire show through the Satchurator pedal and the clean channel on the JSX. There were two new VOX pedals on the board: a prototype WAH still looking very prototypish, and a green pedal that looks ready for production. The green one is called Time Machine and looks like a green version of the Satchurator with 4 chickenhead knobs. One knob is a multifunction control; my guess is it is a delay of some kind possibly with a reverse mode. He still had the DD3 on his board, and the Time Machine was in the effects loop just before the DD3. He also had a ZVEX Ringtone, which I think he used on the Ghost song.

Kilgelec - Well I would highly recommend the Sennheiser HD280 Pro. They retail for about 99 dollars. Perhaps a little better deal on Ebay. They are large, that's why I would only recommend them for around the house. They will require a good 100 hours of burn in time before they really cut loose, but they are AWESOME right out of the box. They are very detailed on the highs and mids. The bass isn't extremely tight. It's kind of boomy. I have listened to a lot of headphones and for under a hundred bucks...they are easily the best. If you don't like that circumaural type headphone though Sennheiser makes another good can. The PX100 for around 50 dollars is pretty sweet. They don't go completely around the ear so you're not quite as immersed. But they do deliver a very good sound. Oh, and the 280 Pro's will block out all noise even when listening to your music at a low volume.

Glitz Man - Awesome...where'd you come across Additional Creations?

Hi All,

A quick pop-in.....sorry I am so out of touch....hopefully when I have finally caught up with my emails...(3 months behind) I will catch up with all of youz!

In the meantime....

Cappy Steve - Sorry to hear about your brother...thinking of you!

js1200js1000 - Wow ...could feel your excitement...glad you had a good time with Joe! Hows the kid?

fatape - well said!

Hugs to all

Hi Guys!

You play AWESOME music. That kind of music does not need to be loud ok? Do You agree?

So, I saw You Guys in Belfast [Northern Ireland] and just want to tell You - You were to Loud! The sound was distorted.. :( I was a bit disappointed. Hope to see and to hear You soon!
