Do The Stu - Al Surfer Thanks for the posts. One can almost imagine being there.... Cool you took the time to post directly after your "Berzerkeley" experience . Awesome stuff !!!!

Having been to the Greek Theatre before to see Santana, it would have been special to see/hear Joe with Sammy, Mike and Chad in Berkeley. Too bad, I'm not in a good place healthwise right now or Steve and I would have gotten tickets and gone! Oh, well. I'm sure Joe has something planned for 2010.

Gotta get breaky, so just a quick one.

Chickenfoot kicked ARSE! woohoo. excellent, so glad I made the trip. And a MASSIVE thanks to Al Surfer (yes, I do know your real name! LOL) for mentioning me to Joe so I could join the party. I owe ya one.

So, talk more later, see you Sunday Austin, are we meeting up with anyone else for the afternoon?

Joe, you rock, of course I went all that way to see Chickenfoot. Why else would I be in America? Huh? :)

Looking forward to a legendary last show of the tour on Sunday.

so maybe I need to read back a bit...but whats all this about a deluxe Chickenfoot album release with a DVD in October??!!

Minimoog: yes! Chatted a bit about the DVD last night, there's gonna be a few great surprises on the DVD!!! I won't spoil the suspense or the surprise.

And, for the record, that pen hadn't been anywhere near Miley, I was joking...
Roo

Life without the music of Joe Satriani would be a mistake - a humble opinion...although it's a very real opinion to me as your music has been as much of a force in my life as many of the most profound experiences that I have ever lived through. Sometimes it was your music that kept me going...

My question is, as I'm in the process of writing a book (several honestly) I'm wanting to include various things that I have come across that have inspired me greatly and perhaps changed my life for the better. I have been playing your music (attempting too lol) since the late 80's when I first picked up the guitar and consider you and Hendrix my most important musical influences. I am requesting your permission to note several of your songs at various times throughout my book (to allow my readers to know exactly what songs of yours I was listening to at what points in my life). What is your perferred method of obtaining permission to be allowed such an opportunity to benefit both myself as well as my (hopefully) future audience?

Minimoog- Thanks to the link to that article, that sounds awesome, a must have. Question is, anyone know US release date? I just saw UK mentioned.

ON a totally unrelated note ---I am starting to understand Wolf2's posts. Should I worry? :-)

Roo - Your Miley remark made for good banter with Joe though, lol. Really enjoyed meeting you and it was my pleasure to help get you back stage!! Mike Manning wasn't budging when I explained it to him, but Joe lit up when I mentioned it to him.

I've got a great picture of you & I with Joe by the way.

I'm flying high today thinking about Joe's guitar and the CF experience!

I'm the home plate umpire for my youngest son's little league baseball game ("fall ball") in a few hours. Hope my mind doesn't wander to Joe's bits in "Turning Left" for example when I should be watching for balls & strikes, lol.

Bonus for last night was my nice chat with Jeff (& ribbing him for looking like the guy on Myth Busters). He is always so friendly just like Joe. Probably why they are such good friends & band mates.

slansh :- Ahhh,wine....but where's the women and song?!?!
