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.

So a friend tells me Joe was just on the radio here in Chicago and he mentioned a project with Sammy Hagar & Michael Anthony. Is this new info? Or am I out of the loop on this?

dear joe...im arif from indonesia.......i have been your fans since at Mid school...im very very stunned with your guitar playing...you are the guitarist who have very extremely influenced me...anyway...could i ask about your all guitar effect which you used at live performance at THE GROVE IN ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, on May 02, 2006.....i very excited about your guitar sound at there....and i hope you could come to indonesia.....because there are many more of your fans in indonesia....thanx about your attention...forgive if i ask too much.....

regards

HI Joe,

Can oyu tell me what amp head you use on the surfing with the alien interview!

I need the name,the tone was nice.

Thaks,

Hey Peeps.....

Off on holiday tomorrow, Hope you are all well and I will be back in here when I get back,

Take Care All,

OK, so if Mountain is playing for about an hour I guess that explains why Joe's set is missing some of the cooler songs. I get that his set has to be shorter...I just wish it could be shorter in a different way. ;-)

I remember similar things happening with the 2001 and 2003 G3 tours...those sets were basically just the "hits" that were in rotation on each previous tour. What really kills me is Joe started the 2003 G3 tour with Why, Crushing Day and The Power Cosmic (the original, not the EOC version) in the set, but dropped them after the first couple of shows, and he had the usual "safe" set by the time my show (and the Denver show recorded for the DVD) came around.

I've always been vocal about wanting Joe to mix up the sets...I think if you don't do that, it gets harder on each successive tour to be more creative with the songs you pick to play.

Thanks for stopping by...it's always good to hear from you, even if it's just a random post every week or two. I hope things are going well with the new guy... :-)

And Live Without A Net is a great concert...you're right. I watched it on VHS way back when (for me I guess this is the mid- to late 90s), and it was so cool to see it come out on DVD a few years ago. Have you seen the band's Live Right Here, Right Now DVD? They filmed two shows in a row and pieced them together...it really bugs me to see Eddie playing different guitars back and forth in the same song, and everyone's clothes and stage positions constantly changing.

I think it's lame to jump back and forth between shows, but if they did that I wish they could've at least stuck to a "one night" rule for each song.

They did some recording last month, and they'll finish up an album in December. It should be released in April-ish 2009, hopefully with a tour to follow. I'm psyched...!
