Pip- Sorry I jumped the gun there a bit but yep.....I am subbed ....so I had to go check and see.....lol. I hope I did not commit a huge faux pas in commenting so soon. ( But that was an awesome clip, looking forward to your next ones) Regarding Chad ........I often wonder what he must have been like as a child............???? LOL

.............link impaired.............

LOL! Coven. I put a spell on you

That's so wrong in so many ways. lol!

I prefare this

Witches aren't scary, just different. They have a lot of the same beliefs as the Native Americans...but I could never join a coven. It gets to weird for me when they talk about certain things, but I've had that same to weird feeling with all churches. Witches are pretty cool for the most part though - just different.

We could just stay Satch ho's. lol!

Chelle - corrr nice set of abs on that bloke! Great vid *high 5s*.

Actually it has similarities to the opening scene from the RDJ Sherlock Holmes movie.......

Peace, I listened to the interview, cool link, thanks for sharing it. Love listening to Joe :)

Pip, great vid on Ice 9 and I'll try to remember to slap u fer the high 5, lol!! I must say though, Chad Smith scares the crap outta me, I don't think I'd like to be in a small room with him =| He craaaaaaaaazy man!!

Chelle, remind me to slap u too fer that first vid, gad dang!! But you might escape punishment since u put up a great vid of Sully.....oh, and the rest of Godsmack ;)

so when it's a large gathering of t2j fans it's a Satcher. When it's just a few, we be Satch-ho's. I'm down with that.

Joe!

what are the odds of us jamming at the whar feild? haha

i laugh cause i know small..

Joe Satriani - thanks for checking out my channel. Lots of classic clips of you on there, maybe you should subscribe lol

Cheese - thanks on the above

I'm just wondering (Joe) why haven't you performed "come on baby" during your solo tour (in America)? That is such a great emotional song with a great love aesthetic tune.

I kind of like Funkilus of Satchers myself.... pretty original!!

Anyway. I just got back from a wonderful Hendrix filled Experience in Mesa, Arizona. The specifics are a little fuzzy right now, but it was an AMAZING show!! Ernie Isley opened up with a solo jam, then Billy Cox came out and they went in to a wonderful rendition of Stone Free and Message to Universe. I can't remember the third song he played. He finished up with a very touching rendition of Amazing Grace in the style of Jimi's performance of the Star Spangled Banned at Woodstock, which really drove the crowd wild!!

To be perfectly honest, I really could have done without Living Colour, Doyle Bramhall, Jonny Lang and Los Lobos and given that time to the other artists, especially Joe! This was also my first time seeing KWS period, and I was totally blown away, although if I would have closed my eyes, I may have mistaken his tone and technique last night for that of Joe Bonamassa playing a Fender. Sounded exactly like him.

Eric Johnson was also another highlight. I am not partial to his interpretation of Are You Experienced?, but it was great nonetheless. I was listening for what Austin pointed out about EJ and his multiple tone changes. I was thinking you meant between songs, but he was actually changing it up while he was playing. I didn't keep count, but during each song he played, he made at least one trip over to his amp to fiddle with something.

Last but definitely not least, Joe was definitely the highlight of the evening. He was the very last act and was announced as a very special guest. He was actually the only artist who got a standing ovation BEFORE his set! The crowd loved Joe, and I was surprised at how many people around me were shouting "I Love You Joe!!". I was very intrigued by Joe's JS2400 triple single coil blue prototype... I got a few pics of Joe playing and a couple zoomed all the way in on the guitar here. Some of them are a bit blurry, but I went ahead and left them in. Joe's pics are at the end. I was surprised to see some variety in the JS2400 line right after its release... Or maybe it's something Joe had made specifically for this tour. Kinda looks like something similar to a Fender; couple of tone knobs and a 5 way p/u selector??

Anyhow, Joe played his normal set, opening with a very trippy Third Stone, Foxy Lady and All Along the Watchtower, then an encore of Red House. Ironically Joe didn't come out for the second encore of Hey Joe...

Sorry for the huge post, but I thought I'd get this off my mind before I forgot even more than I have since last night!

turbo236 - great review, thanks!! And your pics are fab, gawd I really love that blue it's gorgeous.

mikesb - LOL well now they can take their pick, or group, or whatever.

turbo236....cool..another prototype Joe guitar. Looks like it's loaded with hotrails..and a maple fretboard...interesting.

Mike, lol, there ya go!!! I knew there was something like that out there....buffalo, an obstinancy....ferret, a business, fesnyng or cast....who the heck comes up with this stuff and why? LOL!!! But now we have a whole buffet of names to pick from, depending on our mood fer that day :D

I can think of one recent poster who fits perfectly into the group of a pace or herd :) In fact, they do it so well, they're a group all by themselves :D

Ian, great review, sounds like you had a good time!! I bet I'll feel the same way after Friday, give more time to JOE! You can never have enough, lol!
