Pip- I was almost feeling sorry for the varmit then..... LOL......I was not expecting the end .

I am anxiously awaiting "Live In Paris", which incidentaly received mention by our local Classic Rock Station. !!!!! YAY!!!!!

Does every one have a favorite Satch song that remains favorite for all time or do you find that you have a favorite for a time and then it changes to another depending on mood ?

I am in a spell where I am seriously enamored with "Circles" ....

I cannot go a day without hearing it. But I don't know if I would call it favorite....... even so.

Hope every one having a great day .......I bet GG2 is ,the benefits tonight isn't it?

:-)

Ok, guys dream sharing time. I'll share mine but I want to read yours too. Could be fun. Friday I was working in my yard and listened to Revelation by Joe on repeat for a couple hours.

Later that night I remember my dream vividly. Joe appeared at an old apartment we used to rent. He hung out, and did a quick couple songs on a guitar. The dream moves on and it turns into a birthday party for my kids. Joe just keeps hanging out and chilling with us for the day (or my entire dream). Having met Joe a couple times, I like to think I know his voice and demeanor. Needless, to say when I woke up Saturday morning I was in a really nice state of mind. That was a cool dream that left me with a sprint to my step.

I know I'm a little late for this, but Joe, Congrats for the gold award in Chickenfoot album!! Well deserved prize.

I hope you keep up the awesome work as you've done all the way. =D ___

my favorite Joe song is from a bootleg ive had from the paris Concert and its "Ghosts"...the version from this show is freekin amazing....Jeff goes Off as well as Joe!...I cant wait to see the dvd version.!!!

Grammy performance of the night - DMB!! They rocked it! Pink was also beautiful - as always. I was surprised to see Slash come out for Jamie Foxx too. Nice! MJ's Earth Song was great! To bad I didn't have 3D glasses :-/ I did buy the This Is It video last night though. Rented it, and had to have it.

Today I was listening to my EOC Tour 2000 tape I made of the set list from that tour, and A Train of Angels always jumps out at me. Crystal Planet too. CP was a great cd, as well as EOC.

Ohh cool! Jeff Beck playing Les Paul! very cool!

Latest news about Aerosmith & Steven Tyler..

HELLO EVERYBODY!

What a week for me. I'm glad that's out of the way. Earlier this evening, I had my Track Club banquet and it went well. Bill Rodgers was our guest speaker and I got a picture with him, plus I bought a poster with him autographing it. Totally cool! I also got a plaque for 1st place in my age division. My first race for 2010 is on Valentine's Day (the 14th), and I have another race (my first points race) is on the 20th (a 5K).

My CD (Playlist) of The Very Best of Joe Satriani (that I ordered from Amazon) came. Now I'm waiting for the Live In Paris CD & DVD.

I also saw the Grammys. Big congrats to Jeff Beck. I also figured that it was going to be Beyonce's & Taylor Swift's night to rack up most of the awards. Congrats to all of the winners. One of the band members from the group, the Zac Brown Band (Best New Artist), was really ripping that guitar up.

Peace Lily: I have a lot of Joe's songs in my head when I'm working or running. Can't choose one; love them all.

Bluebuffalo: What a dream. BTW, how is your family (wife) doing?

Roo: I took a look at your collection again; pretty neat. BTW, I'm also looking for Joe's first album (vinyl or CD): The Joe Satriani EP. I've looked all over and came up empty-handed. Do you know where I can find a copy? Also, I saw the items on your wanted list. I'll take a look around here and see if I can find any of them for you, if you like.

GoldenGirl2: Hope you and Steve had fun at the concert/benefit.

McDave: Thanks for the input on the Aerosmith ordeal.

This was just uploaded today......don't know if its from "Live In Paris " for sure but looks like

Andulasia

WOW

I didn't watch the Grammys live, but I just saw DMB's performance...very cool. Here it is on YouTube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZdW8_o7npE

I love the song's music video, too... Go here for that.

I think I posted about this last year, but at the 2009 Grammys they left DMB sax player LeRoi Moore out of their list of musicians who died the previous year. So it was nice to see Adam Sandler mention it tonight (even though it was scripted). I guess a lot of music fans didn't know he died, due in part to the snub last year...CNN's story on his death --written in 2008-- is currently the most popular story on CNN.com. Interesting.

Do The Stu: Yes, if you could, please post that. I do have an MP3, but I've never bought or download anything to put on it; just CDs. I've actually never done anything like that. I guess I need to learn how. If you need my e-mail, let me know. Thanks again, Austin.

You're right, DMB was awesome at the Grammys. They've had one hell-of-a roller coaster in 2009. Of all the performances, I think they were one of the two best performances on the show. The other performance was the Tribute to Michael Jackson; though I didn't see it in 3-D (don't have the glasses for it).

Time for rest. Chat with you and everyone soon.

Pip55 - I keep my fingers crossed for a new Satch solo album asap. Hoped for end this year after summer recording, but it's true Joe releases mostly in Q1 of year before tour.

Alan - why don't you have latest Vai DVD yet? Buy 15 beers less and you have it.... Exellent playing and superior quality of sound and vision. Did you go to see him on that tour?

Jeff Beck - may he show how it's done for many more years!

For guitar geegs like us I recommend It might get loud with Jimmy Page, The Edge and Jack White. Just got it last week. The way the Edge and JW look at Jimmy when he plays it's clear who is guitar royalty, really funny to see. A warning though: it will make you want to buy more gear, specially stompboxes!

On the (rather old) subject of fav Satch tunes: -Up in flames- and -Overdriver- always get me moving. Hard driven stuff. Rattles my balls, so now.... I will play -Overdriver- from Live in Paris for the rest of the day! (Stu's bass sounds deeper than ever) Bye.

P.S. Melodic Soloists - 17 Rock Guitar Songs

Glitzy - well done buddy!!!!! Nice work to be 1st in your age division and good luck for the 14th.

Peace - great link thanks for the vid, some interesting kaleidoscopes (Joe is that you editing?) and I just love Andalusia I can play it all day long. I dream that one day my brother in law will play the intro part on acoustic and then I'll rip in with the electric, starting with that "wounded animal" sound Joe starts it off with HAHA I'm an idiot really.

Do The Stu - thanks too for the link to the lovely DMB song that was fantastic. I just read an article by DM about partial chords that helped me play "My Sweet Lord" would you believe.

Guitarvibes - you lucky bugger you must be the only person with the DVD right now :0) we Aussies will no doubt be the last on the planet to receive ours - enjoy!

GlitzMan: Thanks Mate. But sorry, have no idea where to get another EP....

Actually, come to think of it, I do think I know of one being sold. I might find out if he's still selling it, but it'll be very expensive. How badly do you want it?

It's funny Joe couldn't give them away, and now they are so much in demand. Funny how that happens hey?

Oh, Joe, I stumbled on a cool historic collectors shop here (oddly called "time machine") they had an original LP of Electric Ladyland with the cover Hendrix apparently hated (heaps of topless babes) for about $125... If you want I'll grab it for you. Or anyone else here who collects Hendrix rarities... They have other stuff too...

I was having trouble with my computer. So I called Eric, the 11 year old next door, whose bedroom looks like Mission Control and asked him to come over. Eric clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem.

>As he was walking away, I called after him, 'So, what was wrong?

He replied, 'It was an ID ten T error.'

I didn't want to appear stupid, but nonetheless inquired, 'An, ID ten T error? What's that? In case I need to fix it again.'

Eric grinned.... 'Haven't you ever heard of an ID ten T error before?

'No,' I replied. 'Write it down,' he said, 'and I think you'll figure it out.'

So I wrote down:

ID10T

roo....actually it was the record company (and many music stores who would'nt sell it) that did'nt like the cover. Ask me anything about Jimi...lol.

Grant...Mrs. Doubtfire is a classic. Uncle Frank & Aunt Jack? Hilarious...

News just in - there's a parcel waiting for me. Since I'm not expecting anything else I'm assuming it's Live in Paris wahoo

.... although, the fact that it actually arrived on Friday (thanks for letting me know!) makes me doubt it

Joe Satriani - how was the benefit gig at Slims?
