Alan McKenna - If you keep putting vids like that out,people will start to believe that you're a young , good looking Irish chap who can play guitar!!!!! Damn good work, by the way!

Al - very nice, I love that purple guitar, I'd like a dress that looked as good as that guitar, or maybe a purple biker jacket, or maybe a purple Vespa.

Austin- don't forget us before you go to bed!!

just wondering if i am the first and only one cuban interacting with JOE on the web? _________________________________________________ I speak on behalf of my son cause he has no acces to the web but anyways he is willing to make firendship with some other guitar players around the world ________________________________________________

I am the father of an 18 year old young man who after me is the second most devoted fan of JOE SATRIANI in Cuba. it is hard for us to keep posted with the latest news and concerts because we have no access to inetrnet from our place and thanks that I work for Mexicana Airlines in Havana I can from time to time enter this page and as I also can travel to Mexico City first thing I do is to buy latest CDs and Videos of Joe and his band.

My son Samuel Franco is the lead guitar player and singer in a band called SIN TROVA in Havana. He has listened to all your records, and is constantly keeping you in mind and inserting your technics in the riffs he performs with his Ibanez Prestige at every one of his concerts with his band.

So, if you ever visit Cuba, please remember us, because it is hard for my son to assist to any of your performances abroad.

Thank you very much Joe, and hope to sometime see you in Cuba at least as a tourist perhaps.

Chickenfoot was awesome, again! I think the San Francisco show as a whole was better, but some of the highs tonight in Los Angeles were higher. They're sticking to the same set list, and it sounds great.

First, I want to say a big thanks to Joe for the handshake after the gig. He was giving a bunch of high fives to some people a bit to the left of me and then went to get with the guys for the end-of-show bow...but then he saw me and stepped back up to shake my hand before the bow. So...thank you! :-)

As Tracie said, I got to the Roxy around 4 p.m. and was first in the normal entry line. The band started arriving around 5 and did a soundcheck for about 45 minutes. They started with a jam I didn't recognize as a Chickenfoot song...it sounded a bit like Robin Trower's Bridge Of Sighs, maybe? After that, they played parts of Down The Drain and Soap On A Rope, and most of Get It Up, Learning To Fall and Sexy Little Thing. I didn't hear Sammy, so he either wasn't there yet or just wasn't singing.

Once inside, I positioned myself just right of center, toward Mikey's side. The venue is so small though that I was actually probably closer to Joe tonight than I was at the Fillmore (I was on his side then, but farther back because they had a barricade set up).

I caught a stick from Chad toward the end of the show, and my friend caught a pick from Joe. I'm a big Satch fan and she's a big RHCP fan, so we traded. And at the end of the gig, Chad gave me the pick Sammy used for the lapsteel bit at the start of Bad Motor Scooter. Joe's pick was one of his, not a Chickenfoot pick. It's white with a JS and autograph on one side and a doodle on the other...I'm not sure when it's from (SC or PSATMOR? I'll post a picture soon...).

I also got a high five and a fist bump or two from Sammy, and the aforementioned handshake from Joe.

I know I haven't talked about the actual music much here, but I'll put a nice post together sometime Wednesday comparing the SF and LA gigs.

Really quick though (ha!), I'll say that My Kinda Girl NEEDS to be the next single from this band. It's the poppiest song on the album, yes, but the chorus is incredibly catchy and it could be a great feel good summer sing along thing. I think it has a lot of crossover appeal... Anyway...

Quick post on tonight's show before sleep. In three words:

Best. Concert. Ever.

Austin - sorry we didn't get a chance to hook up. I didn't have time to check my email before heading out, so I didn't see your message. We probably saw each other and didn't know it... Next time!

I was close enough to Joe that I could have reached out and touched his guitar many times without even leaning forward. I've never been nearly that close at any concert before. Incredible! The girl next to me actually played his whammy bar (oh man, that sounds wrong!) at one point with his encouragement.

I had my camera in movie mode for most of the songs, but I don't know how well I did framing the shots - I was too focused on enjoying the show (as it should be)! The camera was definitely secondary. But from checking one of the videos, it came out awesome. Surprisingly great sound for a pretty cheap camera. I'll post 'em on Youtube over the next couple of days.

Al- Once again , good stuff. Liked the little EVH harmonic flutter, nice addition.

GRCGS-Bonjour de l'autre côté du monde Skipper mate.

Thanks guys for the update of the Foot show.

Do The Stu and satchblues - thanks for the reports guys, much appreciated. Lucky you Austin to catch the goodies, and you and Joe sound like best buds now :0).

burly - bon jour to you to monsieur

Enjoying the reviews. Interesting shows.

Hi Joe....

Wow chickenfoot is looking..and you are looking and sounding stunning within it!

Congratulations on the San Fran gig being so great....London will be greater LOL

Hi Everyone Else....

Hey joe, Just got your 2006 Live dvd after 3 weeks of BS from the store:D

It's amazing..... This dvd gives me GAS (Gear acquiring syndrome) for that Ibanez man.... D:

Alan--Say what you will, I think your vid was rough around the edges and beautiful at the same time.....but then I'm biased as you know.....lovely sounding guitar......I won't comment on the color because I did that before and it got me in "trouble"! LOL! I can tell you love that guitar and have bonded with it.......I wouldn't want anyone else to have it.....only you!! ;-D

Mornin' to everyone here.

Austin--You have that gift of being right where Joe and his musician friends and support people are.....what a blessing! What a great part of life.......lots of good times!

I'm going to report to Ry Kihn today on Sunday night's concert in San Fran. Does anyone have the complete setlist? Please and thanks!

Scuba - I didn't say you were a criminal!? I'm sure that technique could be applied to other stuff and come in handy.

Do The Stu - nice review, and a lovely time had by all at SF. LA sounds equally cool with a bonus thrown in for you. Those group shots from SF were missing two people ha ha. Now go read yer emails : )

Igneousiceman - you gonna get Hannibal two out next? The ending's a little, well. The meal is different - stuff the lava beans

Michelle - OMG, what was that!? Had to turn it off, friggin shreek boy. He squealed higher than Joe's artificial harmonics LOL

Gotta Have Joe - congrats. You need to see a Chickenfoot gig to celebrate!

Blue Moon - there were two things missing from SF : -b Nice vid, you make the new guitar sing great

Cheese - sounds AWESOME. Looks good too. How much was the JS at Garys place? So chrispy's moved - nearer to mom, cos that would be cool?

Satchblues - nice post of CF water fight

SkippyGirl - the latest Chromey was supposed to be an improvement over the previous two (less chrome problems) but I don't think it worked out. Wouldn't say no of course!... and thanks for mentioning my pants : -b

Hi Joe!!

My name is Filipe and I am a great fan of yours. I am portuguese and I would love to know when you can come here, to Portugal.
