Yeah the Dallas show was finally last night and this morning already seems light years away reminiscing...:)
I wish I could get away from the office today I'd cruise down to Austin to see the Wiz again, I would if it was on the weekend!
When the tour started in the UK I dreamed of taking a trip there and see all the UK shows...I just might do that next time around!
I hope Joe puts together more G3's last one in 07 we drove to Pheonix and thru the grand canyon for spring break it was an amazing time...for Satchafunk we drove out to the Albuquerque show after Dallas...on the weekend ;)

There are so many great G3 choices, Buckethead, Andy Timmons, Pablo again (haven't got to see him yet), Andy Wood, Ron Thal (Bumblefoot), Guthrie... man I could go on for a while. Don't really care who as long as they come to Portland.

POST JOE SYNDROME - they haz it!
I have off today and slept 10 hours!! This cold I have is kickin' me butt! I hate cough colds. Lost my voice Sunday morning, and my voice is still going hi/lo between bouts of squeaking or testosterone fueled female body builder. lol! It's hilarious.
Always one of my favorite live songs, and one of the best songs this tour - MPHGT in Lost Vages. I love the widdly widdly bits in that song! :-)

Hi Everyone,
Hope everyone is well. Wow, looks like a lot of you enjoyed seeing Joe on tour. Hopefully, I'll get to see him perform again. Seeing him at Sweetwater back in March of 2010 was a highlight for me.
I've signed up for three races this year (two of them are sold out). One of them is held on the week/weekend of my 26th Birthday and it's an indoor marathon. I'm trying to put some running in, but work at the hotel keeps getting in the way. I'm already looking around for other places to work, that will be flexible for my running.
Michelle: I was born a Pisces and will remain a Pisces. No way I'm an Aquarius; I'm sticking with the original (tropical) zodiac.
Joe: All the best for you buddy. Keep up the excellent work.
Grant

Live review: Joe Satriani @ the Paramount Theatre
By Jason Blevins | December 22nd, 2010 |
Undeniable proof of alien life was on display Tuesday night at the Paramount Theatre, where the otherworldly Joe Satriani dwarfed any human who has ever slung an ax. The hairless, begoggled Satch beguiled the sold-out theatre with his frenzied, relentless, anthemic, technically-brilliant six-string tenacity, occasionally floating his arm upward to summon enthusiastic support for his crashing crescendos.
Flanked by a pair of Marshall half-stacks, a three-screen video show and a subtle, always-in-the-pocket, lock-stepping band, the mighty Silver Surfer ripped through a 22-song diatribe that mashed his own interpretation of every great guitar sound into a single night. But rest assured, while there were whispers of B.B. King (in the lilting “Littleworth Lane,”) Eric Clapton (in the gritty rocker “Big Bad Moon,”) Jimi Hendrix, (in the sonically intense “War,”) Jimmy Page, (in the gently auto-tuned and perfectly whammy-barred “Wind In the Trees,”) and every other genre of guitar giants, each note was distinctly, uniquely Satriani’s. The 54-year-old Long Islander has probably had one of the more lasting impacts on American guitar playing, having taught technical monsters like Steve Vai, Metallica’s Kirk Hammett and jazz’s Charlie Hunter. Armed with a rotation of Ibanez guitars – the flame orange one … just whoa – Satriani could conjure emotions that he actually intended when he scripted the tune. There was an aural, floating feel to both “Flying in a Blue Dream” and “Dream Song.” There was that ethereal, 2001-esque recognition of space in “Light Years Away.” “Memories” had a rich resonance triggered by Satch’s layering of arrhythmic riffs atop his band’s tight groove.
The wizard delivered hints of nuanced metal, swinging rock, jazz and even pop with his fleet-fingered jams. His “Revelation” dripped with pop sensibility, as if it belonged deep in the background of some overly-processed radio hit. (Lest we forget: The ever-epauleted British popsters Coldplay settled with Satriani after he sued them for copying – poorly, at that – his “If I Could Fly” in their gratingly void “Viva La Vida.”)
The crowd lapped up Satriani’s head-nod inducing performance, leaping to their feet after particularly fiery flourishes in the vaguely Van Halen- ed “Satch Boogie” and the frenetic “Mystical Potato Head Groove Thing.” Even after more than two hours of extended, at-the-peak jamming, Satch’s encore of “Summer Song” spurred a rare and very large dance pit in the Paramount’s orchestra section. www.heyreverb.com

Thanks for the compliments on the pictures. I thought I'd put mine up before Brian so that people would actually notice mine, haha! I know that he got a few hundred excellent photos and I'm really looking forward to seeing them. I finally took his advice in Reno and just covered up my flash so that my shutter wasn't on slow speed like it was in Spokane. Night and day! I'd say I deleted 75 pics from the Spokane show, and only about 5 from Reno that didn't turn out just right.
Tracie- What made Chris decide on a cat?? I decided to get a cat a few years ago when I was still in the military, living on my own. I knew a cat would be a safe bet because I was traveling a lot at the time, but I realize now that we have 2 cats that they seem to do quite a bit better when they have a feline companion for when mommy or daddy is gone through the day. Of course, now that I have a dog, I couldn't imagine living without that thing around, either! A lot of mouths to feed!
I have no idea what you guys are talking about with this whole zodiac business... I heard something about there being a change, but honestly I don't even know which one I am, so I guess it really doesn't matter to me too much. Until they start asking you that question at the doctor's office or on job apps, I think I'll just stick with ignorance where that is concerned. I've done the same thing with politics my whole life and have had no problems!

ok..so i just want this day to hurry up. i'm going to see Joe tonight in Austin and i wish it was 8pm already :-)
its strange but I've been getting kinda sad at the thought that Joe is 54 already. i mean i started listening to him over 20yrs ago and have grown up with his strange beautiful music being one of my biggest escapes from daily stress...but in a blink of an eye, here i am in my mid 30's and i wonder how many more times i will be lucky enough to see him play.
i sure hope i get to take my 3yr old daughter to see him at least once before he starts cutting back on touring.
but i guess i can't complain....his music will be around forever.
is it 8pm yet?...he he

Portnoy, who co-founded DREAM THEATER more than 20 years ago, abruptly quit the band this summer while on tour with AVENGED SEVENFOLD.
He played on AVENGED SEVENFOLD's latest album, "Nightmare", following the death of that band's drummer, Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan, and has toured with them since early summer.

Greetings from Finland :)
Joined this thing just to say that Joe is giving me a most needed boost during the dark winter months here, with both his melodies and his friendly, not-like-a-superstar attitude.
Cheers!

Michelle- The video of the Dublin gig is awesome! Crystal Planet will blow your mind if you aren't careful! I've recorded most of that show as mp3's and made a little 'bootleg' out of it. Not the greatest sound in the world, but 70% of bootlegs aren't I suppose.
I'm not sure which pic you're talking about, but thank you for the compliment! And my b-day is June 17th.
Ian
EDIT- OHH you're talking about the Satch Boogie pic that I commented on in my post?? That was a total accident that I caught him like that too! My camera snapped WAY late.

HEY JOE!! Just got back home to Louisiana from travelling to the Dallas show at the Grenada last night.. I was the guy you met after the show with the Saints hat out by the tour bus... Man, I sure appreciate the autograph on the CD cover and the CD, All I need to do now is find a frame to mount it in.!
I got a little star-struck there when you came down to talk to me! Strange, because you came across so laid back and cool. I was going to ask you say a message to my son (who is 9 and loves your music too) about learning guitar (I have encouraged him to find what he really loves to do before deciding on an instrument. BUT I completely forgot what I was doing! Anyway, I APPRECIATE the autograph.. He will go nuts when I give it to him!
This was my first time to catch one of your shows after many years of trying, It was completely awesome! I missed hearing "Surfing with the Alien" at the end but I LOVED the entire show anyway... It was a thrill of a lifetime!! I hope to come see you again next time you tor through Louisiana or N. Texas!
Keep Rockin' Joe!!!
Your Mega Fan in Louisiana..
Scott
