Thanks for the Napa reports sounds like a great show, even with the fire alarm thing.

Austin, how is the instore going?????

Was the Crush of Love in the set list : )

Smoke on the Water .... and on the stage... and off the stage

Okay peeps, I'm uploading a coupla Napa vids to youtube and will come back to post links to them when they're ready...until then, first of all, here's the setlist:

Hordes of Locusts Ice 9 Flying in a Blue Dream Light Years Away Memories War Premonition Satch Boogie Revelation Pyrrhic Victoria Crystal Planet Mystical Potato Head Groove Thing Dream Song Crush of Love Andalusia Littleworth Lane Why I Just Wanna Rock God is Crying Wormhole Wizards Always With Me, Always With You Summer Song (I don't want to hear it Mc, I love this song!) Crowd Chant Big Bad Moon

24 SONGS PEEPS, COUNT EM!!!

It was like An Evening With Joe Satriani show :))) Very generous setlist I think! And yeah, the fire alarm went off during War, Joe finished the song and then out we all went. At first Joe was up at the edge of the stage shaking hands as people filed out, but it was kinda slowing up the progress of people exiting the building, so he finally ran back stage, lol!! We weren't left outside for too long, and Joe finished the entire setlist even with the break/delay. Have I mentioned lately I love that Joe-guy? LOL!

Yeah, Brian, Chris and myself happened to be outside when Joe drove up, and he so kindly came over to chat with us before heading inside for sound check. Chat, hugs, pics, all that good stuff :D It was just as much fun listening to sound check to see what goodies he might have in store for us! Brian and Austin also got to catch up with Jeff outside the venue after soundcheck, us girls and Chris had gone in search of food and beverage...but we captured Jeff inside too, at the merchandise booth and got hugs there :)

Bought a nice tshirt $25, and beanie hat $25....those were the new items for the tour so far. They also had some older stuff, I imagine there will be much more by the time the tour really gets going.

The opening act, Carter and Bodlavich were fantastic, and they have a new cd out so we bought two of those as well and Chris got his autographed.

Joe was VERY energetic for this show, I don't think he stood completely still for even a second...if he wasn't bouncing, rockin to the beat, walking around the stage, his head was bobbing even when he had to be on the pedals and couldn't walk around...he was movin and groovin the whole night, LOL!! Loved it! And the rest of the band were groovin as well...Chelle calls Jeff cymbal-head cuz that's usually all you can see of him from the audience...I'ma call Alan "hair face" cuz every time I tried to get a shot of him with my camera, it just comes out nuthin but flying hair, LOL!! Good to see Galen and Jeff back on stage with Joe again, I told Jeff we'd missed him! And great to see the new guys, Mike and Alan as well. 5 in the band makes for a very full and satisfying sound.

Got to meet Peace Lily and her hubby, Deb and Wade, lovely peeps and happy to be at their first Joe-show :) Also hooked up with Brian (mahavishnu) and his wife Debbie, and Austin. Webmaster Jon scoped us out with his camera as we were standing in line outside, we gave a t2j roar for him, LOL! Loved the purple spiked hair he had, I'm sure I'll get a pic of that uploaded, along with some others from the show, LOL! Love ya too Jon, nuttin but love for ya :D

What can be said really, about Joe, that hasn't already been said. He's to most incredible musician, and the nicest person/hooman bean we've ever met. We love the anticipation of a show, love being AT the show, love if we get a chance for a brief chat and hug...the only thing we don't like is when it's all over :( But there's always January to look forward to, and so we shall! The new music is outstanding live...

DO NOT MISS THIS TOUR!!!

Okay, Littleworth Lane has finished processing :) I'll do an edit to this when the second vid is ready.

LOL...you can hear my Chris say at the end of this vid "That's my favorite!" He loves this song best of all the new ones, just because it's so different from what Joe has done before :)

Here ya go, song #2

Wish I could have gotten the whole night but they told us outside absolutely NO filming of any kind, so I kinda sneaked these two vids...and after all was said and done, security didn't seem to care...geez....I hope more vids show up!!

I'll load up some pics this weekend, but I'm betting Brian's are gonna be 100% better than mine, lol!

Thanks Tracie great report glad you had such a great time. You'd make an excellent reporter.

Tracie - i'll read your review shortly, just gotta get my add under control *SQUIRELL!* O_o

Here is some more pictures from last night.

If anyone is listening.....wanted to share that also tonight at the signing in LA was Guitar World's December issue for Joe to sign (he is featured on the cover) and heads up. It is a very deeply felt introspective interview, behind many new song, and the music "shredding" concepts. My favorite song, the entrancing eastern-flavored "Golden Room" and the beautiful "Little Worth Lane" odes to his Mom. .........My condolences to you Joe. A really great, personal interview with some really nice pictures. And for you guitar enthusiasts like myself- a Satriani lesson to feast our hands and ears on. yes! Im breaking into it tommrow.

Joe, please play "THE GOLDEN ROOM" on your tour. What a beautifully fantastic, hypnotic composition. It's gorgeous. And "ASIK VAYSEL" from your last. So amazing... makes me lose all subconciousness. Thank You Joe, for your inspiration. and for sending your love back out to us.
