I just saw Joe's guitar in a photo of the Experience hendrix Show. That is the best guitar finish I have ever seen! It has that awesome icy blue shade to it. If I chose a color for the Ibanez, that would be the one I would buy.

Do The Stu / Cheese - scuse me scuse me... hands in the air from back of the room : )

I haven't worked out UK shows but for my two overseas gigs I count 28,730 Joe miles (round trip).

So can I make it somewhere onto the leaderboard?

Ever get the feeling you shoulda stayed home?

Is it true that Coldplay plagiarized Joe Satriani´s "If I Could Fy" for their single "Viva la Vida"?? I found these links in youtube that compare the two songs and I was a bit disappointed to find similarties... Oracle,can you answer this for me, pretty please...

jcbaniela - Most people here feel that yes, Coldplay did rip off Joe. The case was slowly working its way through the legal system and then it was dismissed. It's believed a settlement was reached, but details weren't released.

Coldplay and Joe Satriani settle lawsuit

I'm here at Sweetwater (been here since around 12 Noon). I actually was the first to get my ticket in the Performance Theatre. SWEET! Hope Rick (Distorted Soul) and his friend arrives soon.

I'm already hearing FIABD, AWMAWY, SWTA, Summer Song, & Satch Boogie here already. A couple more hours until showtime.

It's going great so far. We started two lines and I'm #4 in one of them. I did actually see him play (in the Conference Hall room). He had his Black Dog with him. I'm taking pics of Joe's guitars, books, etc. Thanks everyone. If I meet him or chat with him, I'll mention you're names.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Grant, have FUN! Dont ferget to throw Joe yer best dating-game KISS! LOL!

Rick (Distorted Soul) is here. Thanks Rick, it was awesome meeting you. Just got a couple of pics of the two of us. Almost showtime. OH YEAH!

Peas Lily, I absolutely LOVE reading Joe's take on these shows - or any show! I got goosebumps about 10x while reading it. lol! He's having so much fun, and this tour means the world to him and many others that share the stage. This is like...Joe's dream! Playing with so many other artists must be such a trip! I love the diversity of all the bands. Doesn't matter what kind of music yer in to, everyone knows the legend and would love to have a spot in a gig like this. The only downside I see is...Joe's not filming every minute of it!!

Good thing the fans are!!

Glitz you must be inside the theatre by now - where is your seat positioned?? Sounds like they might have a Q and A session too, so get ready with a question and shoot your hand up real high, that way you can tell Joe who you are.

edit....I like this part from Joe's blog "After the show, there was jam in the dressing room with everybody singing and playing, banging on bottles and dishes. But to hear Robert Randolph on acoustic guitar: priceless"....I can just see him in the dressing room having a ball, no audience.

Michelle- Thank you , oh me gawd that is the best clip I have seen from this tour. Joe is like... in the zone... so relaxed and just playing his heart out. Living Colour rocks too how I wish I could have arranged to see this live... Any way I'll settle for these awesome clips ....... ( I am not getting much actual work done today in the office lol......spreadsheets be damned)

Besides the fact that Joe's britches are just about to fall off (have a calorie or two Joseph!) those guys are killin' it! Great vid too! Very good sound which sometimes don't come through to good on some cams. I haven't watched many of these vids, so I decided to search myself, and wow!

Check it!

Yes I noticed that..... like I said few days ago Joe's rather slim.....but he seems have alot of energy but ya know just hope he's staying healthy.... he does not need to get any slimmer...... Somebody send him some vegan cookies lol..............
