GuitarVibes, Blue_Moon, Canadian Cube and everyone who got to view the Live In Paris DVD--Thanks for warning about the flashy special effects stuff. Steve knows for certain flashing lights and special effects don't trigger his seizures. Sleep deprivation and stress are more likely triggers......and the meds he takes limit the activity of his seizures. So no worries there.
The little I saw of the vid has me wondering where the creaters of the DVD were going with this. I agree, the music and Joe in a more natural "motion picture" is more representative of the essence of Joe and his music.
Steve and I need Jon Luini's help getting the pictures posted here. Or maybe just post them in the photos section of this website. Steve and I don't have as much time to learn all the details of transfer/import/export technology.
I've got to learn to be me and not try to be Mrs. Perfect.....then I can relax and be in the moment much more often.
Glitz Man---Thanks for thinking about my Steve and inviting him on here! ;-)

Remember: you can always listen to the CD 8-)
but it would have been great if LIP was more the registration style of Vai's latest (HD), but with the cool on stage camera work on LIP
Blue Moon: do you also prefer the smaller 6105 frets on JS1200?

Reading a few posts about the editing of this DVD definitely makes me a little leery about buying it. The Van Halen Live Right Here Right Now DVD is perhaps the worst piece of work I have ever seen. It's like a 3rd grader with too much time on his hands put that one together. I don't want to have to experience that again. I haven't watch that VH DVD for a VERY VERY LONG time.
Joe doesn't need special effects. His fingers flying across the frets is all the special effects needed. But I will probably get it and just keep an open mind about what he was shooting for when putting his seal of approval on this DVD. Definitely looking forward to picking up the CD at Best Buy on my way home today. 2 years of anticipation!

My DVD/CD order is on its way, still stoked to get it.....
I was thinking like hybes about keeping an open mind until I see all of it, 'cause Joe put his" seal of approval "
I did watch the Andulasia vid at least 10 times or more- so it may turn out my brain is wired differently than most peeps...... My sis always says she thinks I get high from listening to Joe..............ha ha
Edit- Maybe I watched it ten times or more 'cause my brain was not getting enough Joe & band time and kept telling me more ...more.....More.......... any ways
Have a good one peeps & to each his own :-)

I havn't seen the new dvd yet, i just thought id throw that out there, im sure its fine really
and yeah i liike small frets and fretwire, the 6105 is great, the smaller and pointier the better, much better for my playing anyways, the sa isnt bad, it has "medium" frets whatever that is, the neck on the sa neck is more of a mix of a strat, js and rg.. its a nice middleground, but HSS is my fav pickup combo too

JS1200 specs:
Frets: 6105 frets
"The 25.5 inch scale length neck is made of maple and has a rosewood fretboard. The fretboard has 22 frets with abalone dot inlays. The radius is about 9.4 inches (240mm) which is about the same as the standard necks used in Stratocasters. The frets are a little smaller in width of a Medium Jumbo. The fret wire used is 6105 which is narrow yet tall and whose width is small but the fret height is about the same as jumbo frets. They are larger than that found on the earlier Fender necks and a little smaller than the true jumbo frets."
I remember reading somewhere Joe likes the feel of vintage necks with smaller frets, therefore the 6105. My jumbo frets on my RG2570 are to big for my taste so that's why I'm looking into the JS1200.

I don't have my DVD yet (I haven't even received the email that says it's been shipped...argh!), but I did see Andalusia from the DVD on YouTube.
At least in that song, it seems the "crazy special effects" everyone is talking about are the same graphics that appeared on the big screen behind the band during the show (for quick examples, look at 2:50 and 3:35 in that video. So the graphics actually have some meaning, and they aren't the result of a 5-year-old going nuts in the editing room.
I do notice (again, only going by the one song) two different shots are layered on top of each other quite a bit in this DVD, whether it's a wide shot of the band on top of a close-up of Jeff, or a shot of Satch on top of the screen graphics. I almost find that style of editing more distracting than the graphics.
It might have been nice to have the option of turning off the graphics, like the Yes 9012Live DVD. Check out the intro here (starting at about 1:30). You can watch that DVD with all the "other" stuff or without it.
Anyway...I'll wait to say more until I have the DVD in my hands...
...Austin...

I cant stand the neck and frets on my rg + 24 frets... the js is pretty much as described there, its basicly a super strat with a sleek look and upgrades, i love strats so its great since i like pretty much exactly what the JS has and its nice and easy to play with a good feel, in saying that the sa is pretty sweet considereing it was 1/5th the cost! but it is damn good

Ref the 'crazy special effects' debate:
Joe has in essence said the DVD is just how he wanted it to be. My guess is that he is trying to reach a wider audience than the guitar nerds (no offence intended) that make up a high percentage of his fan base.

Joe has been worth every penny I've ever spent on him, and more, so I ain't worried :) Lookin forward to this new dvd, and the Chickenfoot dvd in April, and the Hendrix Experience tour, and the new solo album "whenever" (my guess is early next year too, like about March) and whatever comes after that....it's always the best "ride" at the fair when it includes Joe! lol!
Sleep deprivation...it's the only way to function.......

I just got the email saying my CD and DVD have shipped...finally. ;-)
One other comment on the DVD (again, before I've watched it)... We have LISF, Satriani Live, three G3 DVDs, the Satch Tapes, Reel Satriani, and an upcoming Chickenfoot show. Those are all shot pretty straightforward, so I think it's neat that we're getting something that's different...even if it's different in a way that isn't liked by everyone.

I just called the Satriani Skyroo store because I noticed that my DVD and CD were just leaving the warehouse this morning. They told me that there was a hold up from Sony who was help up getting the booklets autographed by "Mr. Satriani". So much for expedited shipping! Oh well, I suppose the autographed copy is just to look at anyway.
I suppose now I will go ahead and pick up a copy of the DVD at Best Buy today; unfortunately, no best buy in Idaho has the CD in stock.-- But I just found one at the record exchange for $17.99. Two copies left and he's gonna hold one for me while I make the hour long journey to pick it up. Gotta love small business even if it costs a little extra. Probably go ahead and buy the DVD there too even though it's $14.99.
I too was kind of put off by the FX in the Andalusia vid and the flashing of "I Just Wanna Rock" on the screen in that vid, but I will withhold judgment until after I've seen it. I can say that Joe was on fire that night. My jaw was on the floor just listening to those songs. I am just as excited about the CD to be honest, and the fact that it covers the entire concert.... well I could just give Joe a great big heterosexual kiss for that!

On song 4 - Ice 9. Amazing sound. Amazing show. Amazing band. If only I could see them. It's the Lady GaGa of videos. That's all I'm sayin'.
I love my Joe - very much - and I wanna SEE this show very badly, but it's kind of hard to do when effects are on super overdrive. At this point, I'm just.... shaking my head. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
It's really a fantastic show though. Joe kills it, as does the rest of the band, but when I can't even see Jeff's dimples, it's not on. I guess if I think of it as a cartoon video, it'll be alright :-/
Flying In A Blue Dream is decent. That's more like it! Just show the band. Still has that golden effect that wipes out detail, but best visually so far IMO.
And Ghosts goes right back to the overkill graphics. I love that Joe talks between songs. It always make me smile.
Super Colossal is pretty good :-)
still watching...

afternoon all! been a few days, noticed a few posts on the latest show while skimming through.
GG2: thats so cool you got to meet Joe and chat for a bit. the guy is just too cool, taking time to just chat with some fans.
hope everyone gets their dvds soon, sounds like some withdrawl symptoms going around. those not so special effects gotta go, hope the dvd isn't like that all the way through.
thats a lot of weed! pics like that kill me! just quit so i can get a job! again!
if anyone needs reminding. to qoute a little Nickelback, "live each moment like it's your last, leave old bitches in the past, donate everytime your asked, you can't rewind a moment in this life!" my niece's husband just passed away from a massive heart attack. no warning, no prior problems, he was sitting down talking to his daughter grabbed his chest and was dead before he hit the floor. he was 45! life's a roller coaster, this is my sister's (who just went through the cancer crap) daughter. they lived together and just got done celebrating my sister's second chance. now this, this is life.
