Jon the podcasts are all fantastic snippets and thanks for uploading them at a very handy time for Australians!!

Congrats Turbo! Can you wave to Joe for me please?

And Austin - an in-store in LA on October 7th yayyy can you pls give Joe a big hug for me?

Skippy- Will do! I'll be hooting and hollering enough for all of us! I was a little discouraged that so many seats had been taken up already, but I guess that's a good thing, right?

*FYI RENO PEEPS- According to the Ticketmaster page, the presale actually starts on Thursday the 30th 10 A.M PDT. I believe the Road page lists it as beginning on October 1st.

Also, the seating arrangement they have listed for the show there is a theater arrangement with a GA pit near the stage. That may change, though; there are a couple different seating charts to choose from. I was looking forward to not having to worry about getting a good spot in line this time!

Wow Al that was lovely.

Yeehaw.... I played Joe's JS2400 a few days before it was at least used on Light Years Away... I finally made it onto an album... ha ha ha... yup, ok - I've lost the plot!

KSTony - no probs, thanks

Cheese - thanks... and thanks. Also, thanks! Oh, and by the way... thank you

Powerslave214 - hi, thanks for your comment

Skip - just spreading some Joe love. I actually didnt think I was able to do what he asked.. maybe I just edited that all out an is why there's only 15 mins uploaded :-b It is always like a lil fireside chat, just a top guy as we all here know

You like my singing voice too then lmao

Do The Stu - cool gig and great pics

logicbdj - wow, way cool. Congrats

Peace - thanks, I figured the last one didn't quite work without the annotations. There may actually be one more yet... need some time.

But yes spot on with outside the comfort zone - just about any time I had to play something to the guitar genius himself

As for the food - yup, all in one hit. Is that true about H-birds? That's interesting (not sarcasm there!)... cool. So now I'm nostrahummingpippus : )

Blue Moon - ah yes, cop chick. We never did see that photo... Nov 2008... you not had time yet? lol

Will check your vid when I finish work - sounds off piste - cool

GG2 - aiming to be there. Lots to juggle right now

Gotta Have Joe - you have bought a ticket right?

Jon / Webmaster - cool, thanks for that

Solitude- what a surprise...brought me back in time a little Joe...nice to see the SC axe still getting used...i was always curious if some of your JS's have a character of their own after playing them for so many years...or are you just showing off..lol...really enjoying the pod's

Pip.... :)

I have seen the pictures of Al with cop chic, and in fact have her picture-card right here on my desk...one of San Leandro's proudest, esp after she did the world a great service and arrested that bum Mckenna!! :D

Oh, and nice job on the new song Mc, yer a star as always, lol!

I'm just a bit confused on the Oakland presale, are just the club Joe tix going on sale today, and presale regular tix on sale tomorrow? I hope this one is GA....

And Ian, so far I've never been to a show at the Grand Sierra where they have a GA pit, it's always been seating. But I guess we'll see once ticket sales start...if it's GA we're screwed, lol! Wonder how fast my new car can travel that pass between SF and Reno, in the winter, loaded with people and luggage......

Edit: Ian you say the Portland show tix are on sale already too? Cuz if they are, I dunno how to get to them...using the presale code "GUITAR" brings me to a dead stop. I don't think I'm actually buying, but I'm considering it :)

Joe's lucky, he never hasta stand in line for 12 hours for one of his shows, LOL!!!

Chelle, workin on it...2 is pretty good, 3 would be better, but 4 would be outstanding!! They're just a bit clumped up for the driver to get us all there in time....wonder what a flight from Reno to Vegas would run...red-eye....hmmmmm...

Love Solitude Joe, the title fits the tenor of the song :)

Kayla do yourself a favor and buy a Club Joe ticket so you're guaranteed to be able to meet him. Then you can go scream on the streets until it's showtime.

Skippygirl- Club Joe it is!!!! I took the plunge & bought myself & Hubby an early X-mas present. I was filled with anxiety before I took the plunge but finally justified the purchase by the fact I was not going to be able to attend other shows at that time ..LOL....( I can justify 'bout anything when it comes to a Joe show) Now I just hold my breath hoping that no pregnancy due dates change much........ but Portland is close drive ('bout 2 1/2 hrs.) and unless one of the expectant momma's go over alot or early alot it will be okay. (I hope or I will be out some bucks :-/)

Skippygirl--What instore in San Fran? Your post is first I've heard of instore. I don't know what you are referring to.

A lot of info coming at us at once, I know.

Cheese 101--Please let me know if you are getting tickets to Oakland show. I'd like to meet you there.

Austin--I'd like to see you there to if you're going.

Mr. McKenna--San Fran or Oakland. Just across the bay from each other. See ya in Oakland?

Alan McKenna--Sweet classical guitar song! Well done, man! Thank you.

of course i bought a ticket!!! FRONT ROW BABY!!!!!!!!

Hey guys. I have a question that has probably already been asked before, so forgive me for asking again, but I am wondering whether the bonus tracks are available ONLY to people living in the USA, and not to us poor Europeans :(? Or have I been led astray? (fingers crossed the answer is yes! :D) One more question... I'm new to the whole concert thing still, and i'm going to the show at the Hammersmith Apollo in London, and i am curious about something... despite the fact that we have all be given seats and what not, is it safe to assume that everyone will be rocking out on their feet and busting-a-move in the aisles?

I still haven't received the MP3 download yet with the cd pre order. It's been about 3 weeks or a little longer now. should it take this long? Kind of a bummer. The CD might be here before the MP3 download is.

Oh well, just one more week if the cd hits the mailbox on time!!

Kayla, if Joe ever plays OKC I will probably equal your HOLY SHIT posts!! lol. I have been a fan since my landlords son in Naples Italy banged my door down with the new release of Surfing.....and I have had everything since. But there are 2 things I have not had....a live show ever :( and I have never had an autograph. Almost made it to a Dallas show a couple of years ago, but family emergencies came up. And I had tix to see Chickenfoot in Tulsa, but my wife had emergency surgery the day before.....again :( I am excited for your Spokane show! Post lots of pix.

@ Hybes,

if your after the MP3 of Light Years Away, then you probably already have it. If you have played the song from the satriani home page, it is saved into your temporary internet files folders. It has an obscure name, on my pc it is GKdLYrn34NFr.128[1].mp3. I just copied into my music folder and renamed it, job done !
