Great interview on the DVD. The interviewer woman is very engaging and asks a lot of good questions. She definitely did her homework.

Thanks Joe :-)

So Joe and Steve are flying to France early April?

Wow Joe, yer gonna hafta hurry, since you'll just be finishing up your tour with The Hendrix Experience!!

Wonder if that's a festival of some kind....anyway, I hope my dvd comes in the mail tomorrow, can't wait!!!

OH! And here ya go, some youtube of Joe at Slims, along with the "dimpled one" and Stuuuuuuuuuu

Ok. so a brief moment about my adventure tonight. I leave work to head to best buy to get the CD and DVD. According to the website they have both in stock. When I get there, they show a few in the computer, but no one can find them. So I drive about 10 miles to another Best Buy. Same story there. Sigh....So I call another Best Buy and they show the same thing but have none on the shelf. It's going on 8 and I need to get a move on as I have to get my daughter from dance class by 9. FYE has both on the shelf but it's too far away. So I FINALLY get the DVD and CD at Hastings.

I have listened to half of it so far. My thoughts in an earlier post were correct. The CD sounds like your receiver is set to Hall. I was also correct with saying that my computer sounds aweful and I couldn't really judge the sound i was hearing very well.

All I can say is DAMN!! Joe!! Easily your best live work to date. The sound is so different. It really captures live "SOUND". The sound is huge. All Joe's live CD's sound great and manage to caputer that live energy. But they haven't caught that wide huge soundstage.

To give a specific example, I had to get home and put my headphones on. Listen to Mystical Potatoe Head. 8 seconds into the song, you can hear the delay clearly...nothing different than any of the other live CD's. HOWEVER, listen to how far the delay travels. It's easily twice as wide as any other recording I've heard.

Joe I have to give up to you again. The music kicks ass like it always does, but the way you have actually captured the live sound so well is really remarkable!! Well done!!

Well I've heard it at least, (thanks to you-know-who), Joe it's incredible. It's got 100% rotation for me for the next few weeks.

Peace - thanks for the little linky......

I would love to see the beautiful night in Paris that this DVD was supposed to be all about, but I honestly can't sit through a full song on this thing. I pre-ordered two copies of it, and drove an hour one way to buy the DVD/CD set because I couldn't wait for the pre-order to come in I was so excited, but I was deeply disappointed when I got home. Joe is my favorite musician and I own everything he's released and love it all; which is why it is so depressing to say that this is the worst concert DVD I have ever seen. I guess I'm just not in the type of audience that this was meant to appeal to, but honestly I can't imagine who is? I hope for Joe's sake that the DVD isn't a sales flop, but I also hope that if/when he releases another, it's back to traditional format.

I am thoroughly relieved that the audio kicks major ass! I would have gladly paid the $7.99 from the DVD towards the CD to not have been let down by the video. I picked up a set of the Koss Portapro headphones that were the topic of discussion here a couple days ago, and am very anxious to play the new songs through them tomorrow. As hybes mentioned earlier, the "live- concert hall" sound is just amazing. This is what a live record should sound like IMO! And the way Joe plays the songs.... I can't stop playing 'I Just Wanna Rock, Overdriver, Ghosts, Time Machine', and 'Andalusia'. Mind Blowing!!

If you are on the fence about which to buy or whether to buy both, I would recommend buying the CD only. There is nothing bad about it!
DVD aside, I would say that this is the best live album Joe has done yet, but I know there are some die hard LISF fans here, so I will give it a couple days' thought and make my decision.

ACDC music for the Iron Man 2 movie - COOL

　★ That baby cake is sick. Should eat it in a Stephen King kinda way..... or at least have bloodred filling

　★ Haven´t listened to anything else than LIP since I got it, or as Skip says: 100% rotation. And I may add: LOUD

　★ I´m over 40, Joe´s over 50, And I don´t think we´re gonna leave

　★ In creative work, like a new dvd, it´s a good sign when loads of discussion arises. It means you´ve pushed the boundaries.
After some of my lightshows people went berserk. When doing a show with Third World I used purple and blue next to red-green-yellow.... sacrilege!

　★ Thanks for the link to the Grammy interview and that great Slims video.

　★ If you like Mermen you may also like 35007. Turn that upsidedown and you have....
Trippy, stonerrock, call it what you want. Or like they write: "Be prepared, as 35007 catapults your head into the next dimension. 35007 is a state of mind." (also on iTunes)

　★ The dimpled one :-)

　★　★ Sun shines, birds whistle, daylight till 17.45, can it be......spring coming??????? 　★ 　★ .

ULTIMATE GUITAR

The quality of music by the 15-time Grammy nominee is unquestionable, yet the extraordinary editing and artful stage lighting makes this Satriani “live” DVD a pleasure for the new viewer, as well as the long-time fan.

MUSIC RADAR

Filmed at the Grand Rex Theater in Paris, France on 27 May 2008, Live In Paris: I Just Wanna Rock is as stunning visually as it is musically (we’ve seen it, so we can tell you it’s got the goods!). Performing with longtime cohorts Stu Hamm on bass, Jeff Campitelli on drums and Galen Henson on rhythm guitar, Satriani blazes through an impeccable 22-song set that mixes classics like Satch Boogie, Ice 9 and Flying In A Blue Dream along with recent hits such as Super Colossal and I Just Wanna Rock.

'Internet addiction' linked to depression, says study

Turbo - glad you feel the same way about the live feel. It's quite amazing really. I can't personally think of another band that has managed to capture that live feel.

I got up at 5 and listened to the rest of the CD. Truly an amazing concert Joe! Wow. There is so much energy on this cd its amazicdng. I like the new take on Super Colossal. This is a great CD top to bottom.

I am glad I listened to it first. It makes me really want to watch the DVD. I won't get a good oopportunity to watch it without the kids pestering me until Saturday morning. I will say wether the graphics are for me or they are not for me, the cd makes up for both anyway. I'm very excited to watch the DVD this weekend.

I hope everyone enjoys the cd as much as I do.

Guitarvibes: That's only because they don't understand the transition or realisation of nirvana.

You see, the internet is one of the first things to really help people understand the universe and their place, the realisation that monks used to find in Koan and meditation.

The internet addict starts to build the same picture of their own insignificance but instead of transcending, they focus on the spam carrying erectile disfunction advertisements.

Instead they should see the ultimate truth and understand what they are. That is, both nothing.... and everything.....

and I don't even take meds....
