Joe, My boys and I wanted to thank you for a great memory from your Upper Darby, PA show. It was my youngest son's first concert and man, what an experience it was for him. We're all still talking about how great your show was and how much we loved the music. A special "Thanks" for bringing Ned Evett on the tour with you. We did not know Ned's music prior to the show, but we loved his set, went out front during the intermission and bought his new album and spoke briefly to Ned. We've been enoying 'afraid4u' ever since. We already can't wait for the next solo Satch effort or the next Chickenfoot. Best wishes to you and your family Joe.

Hey wolf, good luck with that BLATTER problem dude.

i REALLY hope this girl doesn't have a license!

It's funny, but so ridiculous! If she couldn't see a feckin giant fountain in front of her, with the benefit of a doubt she knew it was coming up in front of her, imagine the damage she could do in a vehicle.

Whelp, another fantastic show under everyone's belts!! It was good to see Brian and Debbie, Ian and his cute new lil wife, Austin and his dad and brother....the 11 of us took up almost the entire center 3rd row, it was great, LOL! And during Big Bad Moon, we all held up "scorecards" that Brian and Debbie had made for Joe and the guys.....10's all the way around, LOL! Unless someone accidentally held it up upside down and it read 01....naaaaaaaaahhhhh, no WAY!!

Of the two shows, I think Oakland was the best for us, esp since we had front row seats and got to stand for the entire show along with everyone else...plus the sound was better there, although nothing really wrong with Reno sound. It was just so much easier to groove with the music front row and standing, lol!!! Plus having Sammy come out for 2 songs just pushed the excitement level that much higher. Up until now, I'da said the EWJS tour in 2004/05 were our most favorite shows ever, but....the Oakland show, and G3 07 shows, are right up there close behind!! Soooo goood!!

We had aftershow passes for ourselves, Mc and JJ, but poor Joe had had such a long day (what day ISN'T too long for him on tour, the guy doesn't get nearly enough rest!)...so Joe didn't make it out to chat with the 35ish peeps waiting. Awwwww...but that's okay, I'd rather he get the extra rest and be okay :) Chris was pretty bummed BUT....put a few bucks in a slot machine and walked away with a gigundo pot....$16, LOL! That helped :) We just missed our Joe-hugs all around...maybe next time. Meanwhile, so much fun on this trip with Mc and Joanie, plus two kick-ass shows...how can ya beat it!!

Joe, Chris has been playing more acoustic lately (since he's now in his own apartment), and loving it...when you played acoustic for Andalusia, he just marveled at your skills and said "how can Joe think he needs work on acoustic!! He's fantastic!" He wanted you to know that :)

We did get a chance to chat with Allen last night for a bit, and just briefly with Jeff, love those guys. Allen is such a nice guy, and so appreciative of this chance to play on this tour, he had only great things to say about working for Joe and his "family". He'll be watching out for Joanie and Al in LA :) and he gave each of the guys a pick. Had left but made a point to come back just for that and said..."it's a guy thing"...lol!!

Got some great photos, esp in Oakland where no one was in front of us..even managed to score good shots of Jeff for a change! I'll upload after we get home.

Oh, and in line here, met a nice young man and his dad seeing Joe for the very first time, the kid plays several different kinds of instruments and picked up guitar over a year ago. He was sooooo excited to see his "hero"...I love talking to other people who love Joe! Before the show started, we got his name and addy...gotta spread the love and send something special his way next week.

All in all a wunnerful time this week...Alan loves Chris, we all love Alan (even tho he's a strange guy) and his and JJ's saga continues into next week after Chris and I head home tomorrow....they head to adventure in LA.

Happy happy, but having Joe-withdrawals big time already, lol! We get depressed when our last show is over, lol!!

It was so nice to see everyone in Reno last night! What an amazing show, definitely the best I have ever seen Joe perform, CF or otherwise. Our seats were awesome, the sound we heard was straight out of Joe's amp, and he stood right in front of us most of the night!

peanuthead, we really, really really wish you would sleep more too. Have you seen that commercial where they use a frying pan upside the head? That makes for a peaceful night.

Great to hear all the wonderful things about the last two shows! The videos are popping up nicely on youtube, so it's cool we get to see what y'all got to see. lol! I hope somebody from the stage got a shot of all the 10 cards!

Chee, I hope the four of you are enjoying the warmer weather. Mc might get a little toasted in LA if he's not careful. Wait, by toasted I meant sunburned, not toasted as in how he's been spending the past week. lol! I get a hangover just thinking about those two. lmao!!! Good times man, good times!

Give it Away

Hey Joe, thanks for the tour stop in Portland on 1-11-11!!! It was truly a night I'll NEVER forget!! I also wanted to say that I picked up The Satriani model VOX Amplug and love it!! Thank you for putting out a wonderful product. Now playing along on "Light Years Away" is like a Satriani Rock and Roll fantasy camp.

I am looking forward when you come around again. Either solo or with Chickenfoot. You are a huge influence in my desire to be a great guitar player. Seeing your performance helps me keep my dream alive.

Until next time Satchman.....

Hi Peace------Yeah those really are lovely songs...

Here's a sad note about Etta James. She is in ailing health Lukemia and Dementia. not looking good for her at all. She lives in my neighborhood, she's resided here for years, trips me out that someone so famous lives in my neighborhood. Plenty of wealthy people here though that's for sure. Once me and my X are pretty sure we saw Ric Ocasek and his model wife Paulina next to us in a Ferrari...Back in the 90's. They were next to us on the street. Always wonder who else besides Etta (famous) is by me....Anyways- Thoughts and prayers out to her :( She's really in bad shape.

Also, Just read from David Bowie.Net that Nile Rodgers has contracted Cancer, but seems he is doing better.

Im feeling rather sad today even though im going to see Joe tommorow. ...totally sucks. This is life aint it..sigh Im happy for Aretha Franklin, David Bowie just turned 64 this month and he had his own health scare back in '04 and ever since he has grown really silent. Just is breaking my heart because I have become such a HUGE fan this past month or so. Just love and adore him so much. I may never get to see him Live, and i've missed so much of him....it just really really sucks. Anywho....guitar time hopefully I will feel better :-l

Hi,and welcome to the site.

If you feel you are lost with any of Joe's music then you haven't listened properly.I realize that some of his material can sound a little overwhelming/underwhelming at times,but if you take the time to sit in a dark room with headphones on and really listen to whats happening throughout the entire soundscape,you'll start to understand and appreciate exactly what Joe is trying to convey to the listener.

Hope this encourages you (and some others on this site!!! ) to be more open minded to what Joe is expressing. After all,isn't that why we're all here???

Cheers

rojowal- I did love the show!!! It was one of the most epic adventures of my life... Which show did you go to? I went to the Portland show...only bad thing about it was it had to end. :-)
