ZuperDave - Thanks for sharing the setlist. It looks a little bit shorter than the rest of the world, and I'm bummed Cryin' is missing, but other than that it looks pretty solid.

You mention Down, Down, Down at the end...I assume you actually mean Going Down, the Jeff Beck song from the first G3 album? I think someone else mentioned that one in a review...

"More to tell"...did you get to meet Satch?

Nooooooooooo Joe.....yer leaving out Musterion, Out of the Sunrise, Cryin and Diddle-y-a-Doo-Dat....noooooooooo!!

OutOfTheSetlist....yes I meant "Going Down"....they should have just named it the other way...lol. And yes, Stu was doing a "Going To California" diddy as part of the overall solo. I was sure I was hearing that while he played but was'nt entirely sure until you mentioned it. He was awesome...and it was obvious that Joe was happy to have him there. After the show we went and had a beer (or three) and then headed for the hotel. Before I get ahead of myself...we ran into Mike Manning standing by a side door having a cigarette before the show. We were hungry so we just said a quick "hello" and went to find some eats. OK....on the way back to the hotel we got lucky and caught Joe signing guitars and taking pic's with fans. He was busy so we just kind of hung back and watched. What I failed to notice right away was the van parked waiting for Joe to finish and whisk him away. Inside the van was Galen and Jeff, so we went and shook their hands and wished them well. I introduced Jeff to my friend Eric as "my drummer guy"...and Jeff shook his hand and said that the world needs more "drummer guy's" and theres too many "guitar guy's" out there...lol...

cheese101 - We did get Musterion and Diddle-Y-A-Doo-Dat on the Guitar Center, although I know it isn't the same without the band. I'd be more bummed if we had those back in the set but missed out on something else rare...but aside from the new album I guess Time Machine is the only rarity.

I'm not Joe, but I'd argue against SWTA and Summer Song both being in a slightly shorter set like this. And I've said this before, but it bugs me that certain songs seem to only show up in a set together. It's great to have Ice Nine and One Big Rush, but Joe played both of them on last year's G3 tour. Only having one of the two would be cool (I'd lean toward One Big Rush...I've heard it less), and that'd free up another spot for a Cryin' or something else.

I know this isn't An Evening With, but I'm also surprised at how few albums he's pulling songs from.

Anyway, I'm not complaining, I'm only discussing...

Igneousiceman...... Yeah, Trower is awesome and his pedal looks pretty cool also. He palyed House Of Blues in Chicago a couple weeks agao and a local guy named Dave Uhrich opened for him. That must have ben' a killer show. Dave is awesome and I go see when I can. Check him out Here Thanks.....

Ok...I have time to finish the story now ;)

After Joe finished signing stuff, some dude said that was it and escorted him to the van. I did'nt get to talk to him, but managed to wish him luck as he passed by. I was just happy to be there.. But as the van was getting ready to leave, Joe looked up at me, and I gave him a double thumbs-up, and he gave a thumbs-up back. That was the icing on the cake for the whole trip...

Also during the show Joe brought out his "doodle" guitar. The replica of the one he used in the early days. He told the story about how the original was stolen and how he had to buy it back from the jerk(s) who took it. And how the dumb-asses rubbed all of Joe's scribbles off of it , probably thinking it would fetch more that way or whatever. Anyways...a great story that I was not aware of before.

roo, if you have some place to post doodle pics that would be cool, maybe they would let you link off of Joe's site.

Does anybody know a good way to protect the sharpie signiture and doodle? like clear coat paint or some other means,to preserve the artwork forever, or until they fire up the Haldron Collider, in which case we wont exsist, so that wont matter.

Busy diggin out old vhs of Joe's "Satch tapes" and the vhs of his self titled cd. shows a bunch of takes of "luminous flesh giants" and the ground work for "If" which is a very cool tune, would luv to see that live. and ends with a studio video of " Your my world"

I wonder if Joe would ever consider offering audio cd's of the concert you just attended or even better yet video. They could take orders at the venue and mail out. Speaking for myself, id probably drop 100.00 for a good concert dvd, of the one you just attended.

just a couple thoughts.

THANKS JOE FOR YOUR SUPER CONCERT IN BOGOTA, COLOMBIA.

PLEASE COME BACK AGAIN!! WE WILL WAIT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!!!!

JOE!!!

WHAT A WONDERFUL CONCERT IN BOGOTA. THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN..... WE WAIT FOR YOU AGAIN WITH A G3 TOUR....... I MET YOU AT THE HOTEL AND YOU ARE NOT ONLY A WONDERFUL GUITAR PLAYER, BUT A PERSON... THANKS AGAIN!!!!

Joe Satriani : Hey Joe, hope the tour is going well. Still looks good for the Durham, NC on Oct 25 for me... I'll be the guy wearing the NASA hat and/or Superman T-shirt (Cainan, er, "lazermario", from Rockline back in April). Anyway, if I get to actually talk to ya, I will have something for ya.

Do The Stu : ... far far too much to enumerate, but thanks for asking. BTW, I should have my setlist put together in a few mins, then bed.

calylac : thanks for the reference to Ronald Jenkees . I checked him out on YouTube- he is indeed pretty cool.

fatape - Argh...so if he did Cryin' in Australia it means he just now dropped it. Hmmm...I guess I can cross my fingers and hope that it comes back, but I doubt it.

Does anyone know when Cryin' was last played in the US? I've been a fan since EOC and it hasn't been played going back at least that far.

michelle, your first Satch show was a few years earlier than mine...do you remember if you've ever seen Cryin'?

It's neat to hear that Joe played a Leslie West model guitar. I've never seen him play anything other than Ibanez in concert, so it'll be neat if he keeps that up for the rest of the tour.

One last question...how long would you say Mountain played? 45 minutes?

I don't see your setlist on your profile...I guess you didn't finish it quite yet?

Guitar case and cert in my hot little hands! WooHoo. I also got a nice letter from Ibanez congratulating me on getting an early release from the first production run. VERY happy! Black Dog is back in his luxury dog house.

Also, First doodles are trickling in. As I said, start by sending them to me (prefer with a story on how it was made, where, when, what it's title is, etc. So if you send me a pick of a guitar with 3 doodles, let me know if there was any name, description or story Joe gave you about each or any of them.

I don't expect to get all doodles, that will be impossible. But if I get a starting set I can use it to populate the initial doodle gallery and then let you guys loose in there posting your own.

I am investigating the right technology to use and will hopefully get something up and running in a week or so.

hey all....

A BIG SORRY!

i know there are a lot of you that I have lost touch with....I am so behind on internet stuff...such as this board and emails....

so I am sorry to all those that are neglected...when I got behind before I would be up in the early morning hours catching up or spending the whole day doing it....but I can only get on an hour a day now...which is not long in computer world...LOL

Out of the Setlist......hey....whats with the name change?...you had your previous incarnation forever? Thanks for asking...what have i been up too...not a lot as I am brassick....however....a new man in my life is keeping me busy and happy....er as opposed to my new boss who is keeping me not busy and unhappy lol

JS1200JS1000 - Thanks for asking....er same as above really...drawing has gone to pot...just not getting time at the moment...I have 2 or 3 joe pictures on standby ready to do though.

ktza - welcome back....how much longer have you got? Are you liking it or hating it?

All those going to gigs.....ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OutOfTheSetlist.....yeah I think Mountain played for at least an hour. Mountain Started at 7:30 and the whole thing was over by 10:40 pm.. A little shorter than I would have liked, we all could have sat through a few more tunes for sure.
