Maritime, with all of the shredders out there today, YouTube Myspace etc etc I doubt if many of the youngsters could ever understand how impactful the first hearing of Al DiMeola was back in the middle 70ies, particularly in comparison to the other guitarists of the day.... It was at once exhilerating and scary as hell.....

Mikesb>Couldnt agree more, Friday night in San Francisco is still my fav acoustic guitar live cd, its unbelievable even now
If you put into context the fact that they all DELIVERED LIVE that kind of skill back then...it makes you ponder what they are able t play in the comfortable confines of home
To me thats what makes it remarkable
maritime:Sounds like a must read, good call!

Just thought I'd share some comments I read from a well known, and as you can read, extremely intelligent and articulate Canadian musician, who I also happen to respect very much: ( adding that the views expressed etc etc etc....)
"Here's my 2 Canadian-not-able-to-vote-in-your-election cents...
Obama/Biden have my 100% not-able-to-vote-but-wish-I-could support.
McCain/Palin need to stop doing the Karl Rove thing. If they think most Americans are stupid enough to buy into that same old scare-them-to-death tactic three times in a row, then they're more ignorant than they think most Americans are, and I've got a Bridge To Nowhere that I'd like to sell them, up in Alaska.
As for falsely equating Barack Obama with "dangerous friends", and using loaded phrases such as "Beware The Enemy Within", just remember that the real culprits are already "within", meaning within the current Administration.
These neocons, who run rampant throughout the current Administration, are the people that engineered 2 very divided elections, a divided nation and a divided world (no doubt you've heard the phrase, "divide and conquer"). These are the people that have used fear, subterfuge and outright lies, not to mention religion, as a means of implementing that division. The policies of these people have yielded their result... three ongoing wars and, even more importantly, a complete financial disaster for the American citizen.
And, no less important, from a uniquely American perspective, these people have attempted to (and in some cases have) ignored and abused the Constitution of the United States, a magnificent document which is the most defining characteristic of what America actually is, and should truly be.
And remember this, whenever you hear anyone justify their position by mis-using and mis-interpreting Christianity (a subject that I know a little bit about):
God uses good men... bad men use God."

McCain Caught Cheating
The Presidential election was too close to call. Neither the Republican candidate nor the Democratic candidate had enough votes to win.
There was much talk about ballot recounting, court challenges, etc., but a week-long ice fishing competition seemed the sportsmanlike way to settle things. The candidate that caught the most fish at the end of the week would win the election.
After much of back and forth discussion, it was decided that the contest take place on a remote frozen lake in northern Minnesota .
There were to be no observers present, and both men were to be sent out separately on this isolated lake to return at 5 P.M. with their catch so the fish could be counted and verified by a team of neutral parties.
At the end of the first day, John McCain returned to the starting line and he had ten fish.
Soon, Obama returned, but had no fish. Well, everyone assumed he was just having a bad day or something, and hopefully, he would catch up the next day.
At the end of the 2nd day John McCain came in with 20 fish and Obama came in again with none.
That evening, Harry Reid got together secretly with Obama and said, “Obama, I think John McCain is a low-life, cheatin' son-of-a-gun. I want you to go out
tomorrow and don't even bother with fishing. Just spy on him and see just how he is cheating.”
The next night (after John McCain returns with 50 fish), Harry said to Obama, “Well, tell me, how is John cheating?”
Obama replied, “Harry, you're not going to believe this, but he's cutting holes in the ice!”
EXPERIENCE COUNTS!

Out Of The Setlist
If you go to Best Buy's website and search either for GNR or Chinese Democracy - it pops up - with a picture of one of the album covers - apparently there is a B and A cover for both the vinyl and CD.

Michelle-just to clarify, Joe the plumber doesn't make $250,000 a year. the business that he wants to buy would make that. and we don't know if thats gross or net. why is it not O.K. for people to be succesfull. again, we are not talking about a big corp. just an average guy who is trying to realize the american dream. kudos to him! "spreading the wealth around" which obama proposes is just another term for a socialist system. if you want a socialist system try living in Russia, or China for a couple years. I'm sure Mr. Satriani would have his wealth redistributed to who ever Barak feels needs it best. what do you have to say about that Joe!!

JAYLEIN- not sure the number of the delays joe uses. I beleive its a DS-3, and a DS-9. delay set to 200 & 800 ms. the chorus is just a standard Boss Chorus pedal, as well as the flanger check their website. http://www.bossus.com/gear/subcategories.php?ParentId=89
i would add the PH-3 phase shifter to your list. great for pink floyd tunes (any colour you like-DSM). Don't forget the Wah Wah!!!

A little boy goes to his dad and asks, 'What is Politics?'
Dad says, 'Well son, let me try to explain it this way:
I am the head of the family , so call me The President.
Your mother is the administrator of the money, so! we call her the Government.
We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you the People.
The nanny, we will consider her theWorking Class.
And your baby brother, we will call him the Future.
Now think about that and see if it makes sense.'
So the little boy! Goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.
Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him.
He finds tha t the baby has severely soiled his diaper.
So the little boy goes to his parent's room and finds his mother asleep.
Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny.
He gives up and goes back to bed.
The next morning, the little boy say's to his father, 'Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now.'
The father says, 'Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about.'
The little boy replies, 'The President is screwing the Working Class while theGovernment is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and the Future is in deep shit.
