Does anybody here know if there's a picture of Joe smiling that I could use with permission for my smile collaboration video? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITBo_Yght6I)

Michelle that post was from Didierrr, it was bugging me that it wasn't Yul!

Didierrrr Michelle replied to you - here it is - here's a great pic of Joe smiling. Lots of good ones on the net. Not sure if you need permission to use a picture from the internet, but it's always nice to ask.

Hi everyone...

I was able to catch yesterday's sneak preview of Satchurated 3D (Thanks to mikesb for hooking me up with a ticket!), and I wanted to stop by here and share a few words about it.

In one sentence, this rivals Live In San Francisco as my favorite Satch recording.

The video is shot differently than most live DVDs I've seen, which is quite refreshing. There's no fast cutting from shot to shot, and there aren't too many extreme close-ups of band members. A lot of the cameras were positioned in a way where you see the stage edges and walls of the theater, which I thought was a nice touch. And in some of the shots from the back, you can see the heads of the people standing up front, just at the lip of the stage. So you really feel like you're in the venue watching the show. I also like how most of the shots include several band members. There were a lot of Joe/Jeff/Allen/Galen shots from one end, or Joe/Mike shots from the other end. You can see everyone doing their thing and it's great.

The 3D is not distracting at all. It's not gimmicky (no pointing of guitar necks at cameras, etc.); with the way the film was shot it really just adds to the feeling that you're in the venue. The crowd is in front, then Joe, then Jeff, then the video screens are in the back.

I love the audio mix. Mike was up there pretty high, but not so much as to distract from Joe. And Jeff's toms sound great in theater surround sound.

The version we saw was only 90 minutes long (I assume this is the theater cut that we'll all get in March), but the credits list the full setlist so the in-store release should have everything. It was disappointing that the theater edit left out some of my favorite songs (Memories, Dream Song, Why), but I'll just have to wait for that. Pyrrhic Victoria was awesome, though! :-)

And one more post, to keep other stuff separate from the DVD review...

The directors were there, and I talked to them very briefly after the screening. I told them how many Satch shows I've been to, and they almost sounded nervous (like "Uh oh, he's a big fan...I hope he doesn't think it sucks.")...you could almost hear the huge sigh of relief when I said I loved what they did with everything. ;-)

Mick (just back from Europe with Joe) and Jeff were both there, and I talked to each of them for a few quick minutes as well.

Jeff told me about a project he was working on with Peppino D'Agostino. They've done a few shows together and will have an album out soon. (I don't know if that news has made it out yet or not...?). Jeff sounded really excited when he mentioned being able to play with one of the best electric guitarists, and then moving on to play with one of the best acoustic guitarists. Very cool...

Thanks again to mikesb for the ticket...

Thanks Austin, it sounds like a great concert DVD. I won't hold out hope that it will screen in Oz. Hopefully I can get the DVD on release.

Thanks for the 2012 tour Joe!!

Darn, 21 other people registered for the Melbourne show......I got no hope.

Ironically, the Byron Bay show which has no after show pass, only has one other person registered :(.

Dang.

Carry on.

Always with me, always with you INVERSION

Hello!

Check out a french live review of the Paris show :

Part of my reply email -

I understand your concerns about legislation pending before Congress that would address online piracy - namely, the PROTECT IP Act and the Stop Online Piracy Act. In my view, piracy of intellectual property is a legitimate concern that should be addressed. However, the PROTECT IP Act and the Stop Internet Piracy Act are flawed, and I cannot support them in their current form. I therefore look forward to working with my Senate colleagues on this issue and finding a better legislative approach for tackling online piracy. Please be assured that I value your input and will keep your thoughts in mind as work continues on this important matter.

Hey Joe and band!

I just released an album on Spotify, it's a really cool combination of different influences, pretty guitar oriented. Some weird stuff in there too, could you check it out? I really respect your opinions.

Really looking forward to Satchurated

Wondering if it will come to a theater near me - or will I have to wait for the DVD release.

Skippygirl- Thanks for posting the vid.. lovin JOE's rocknroll attitude on that one ...

Skippygirl - thanks for sharing! Had a bad day - so need a lift ;-)

Anibur- That was definitely professionally filmed. I have a lot of artists"Live at Rockpalast" DVD's, so I dunno if they record every show there or how it works. Maybe Chickenfoot will be added to that collection in a year or so???

tutbo236 - hey - yes yhere are a lot of cameras! wooo hoo! That was a really cool vid too, will I find them on Youtube?

double dog dare ya.

I actually watched Live in Paris a while ago, and it wasn't as bad as my first few views. I think I was so upset because it wasn't what I was expecting, and the damn camera doesn't stay on one thing for more than a few seconds for the most part. Last time I watched it, I didn't have any expectations and just enjoyed the music. I still have to be in the mood for it though...like Woodstock Jam. lol!
