From Joe's FB Status......in case ya missed it
Allen Whitman Blog
an entertaining and amusing read (& pics)......about the tour down under thus far.
A nice mention by Allen about Jeff C.
QUOTE- " The Key to Happiness in any jam session is a great drummer. Every musical event onstage is survivable through the graces of the real thing. I’ve been blessed with many great drummers; but Jeff Campitelli continues to astonish me. Playing with Jeff is like floating on a pillow of groove. I’m buoyed up and that swing pushes me inexorably forward until the rock and roll hammer drops. Sometimes, during our performances, I have to master the urge to fling myself bodily at something." nice to see Jeff get a lil recognition.

OMG! The morning after......
G3 Newcastle Panthers.
Meet and Greet:
What a couple of level headed, down to earth individuals. Joe and Steve started the whole G3 experience with some great laughs and stories. It's amazing how some simple questions can lead into some fantastic stories and an amazing insight into their thoughts and lives. Thanks Guys, for taking the time to hear/see the masses...
The show:
Steve who? Oh, that's right, Lukather. Walked into the show, not knowing much about Lukather, but walked out with a great appreciation for the man. Sure he's no Satch or Vai, but very talented and eager to please. Steve came out to warm the place up with about 5 tunes. I have no idea of the names of the songs, but the one he dedicated to his departed brother, was to say the least, brilliant.
Mr. Vai... What can you say about this man that hasn't been said before. If you want entertainment, this is the man to see. Never shy on stage and always keen to pose for a photo. The moment Vai started playing, the vibe in the whole place changed. Sitting in the center of the front row, you could feel the sound hit you like a sudden breeze just came out of nowhere, leaving the biggest smile on my face, knowing exactly what I'm in for. Sorry I can't name the set list for Vai, but I'm sure somebody will come good on that one sooner or later.
Time to get Satchurated.. Bring out the man himself....
Ice 9
Flying in a blue dream
Satch Boogie
Secret Prayer
Crystal Planet
God is Crying
Always With Me...
Surfing With The Alien
I know this setlist is correct, I'm reading it from the one in front of me, that I got from the stage. I really don't think there's much to say about Joe's performance, except the man is a legend. There are no outstanding points to mention here, as he's whole performance was incredible.
The Jam... wow, wow, wow. each and every performer on stage held their own. Even Lukather was mixing it up with the boys and deserved to be there. Granted, I don't think he was as good as the others, but that's not taking anything away from his performance, the man rocks....

AussieRGman, it was a group setting. Probably about 24 people, with Joe and Steve sitting out the front. Due to time restraints, only a brief chat to the boys while having photos taken was possible. Still highly recommended.

Joe, disappointed to see that Engines of Creation is no longer available on iTunes/Amazon MP3/Google Play. I think it's one of your best releases.
As I pointed out in my review on Amazon, just about all of the one-star reviews were posted in the 3-4 months following its release. It was a weird, somewhat shocking first listen, but you can't help but appreciate the quality of the songs upon repeated listenings, and it's a shame that it's been put on the backlist.

I almost sold my Big Bad Wah, since I bought a 5-position Jam Pedal Wahcko+ wah... thinking it would cover more way voices and be more diverse. However, I pulled out the Big Bad Wah one last time for someone to test it, and I didn't realize the great big fat and growling tone that is possible with this pedal. It's a keeper!

Thanks for bringing G3 down under Joe. The G3 experience is so unique, Steve and yourself are just amazing. It seemed Lukather was the underdog but well and truely proved otherwise at the Hordern in Sydney last night but maybe you can keep young Mike Kineally away from the guitars and the furniture as he might hurt someone oneday. But he seems to really enjoy himself and thats what its all about.
Many thanks to you your crew and everyone involved from the aging Adroid Shredder

Hi Joe,
Very encouraged by the outstanding reviews of your shows thus far!
Looking forward to meeting you at the Adelaide VIP and I really really really hope you get this message and play 'Made of Tears'. It is my favourite Satch track and it would give me chills to watch you play it live - i'm not super confident you will being that your setlist hasnt changed so far downunder - but I can still hope!
For now I will think about an awesome question to ask you on Tuesday afternoon and think about what I will get you guys to sign. The ukelele that one of the other fans brought in sounded cool!
Getting my flight to Adelaide tomorrow so see you in the City of Churches...
Ryan John

THAT WAS INCREDIBLE JOE!!! Fabulous show, fabulous set, fabulous jams, it was just outstanding thanks so much.
I was pretty much right in front of Joe, had to pinch myself that I was actually looking at him in person.
Now I won't be able to sleep and I have a plane to catch tomorrow to the next show...
Thanks Joe, you were awesome.

Yep I had a ball, it was a fantastic show.
Just so many great moments - and seeing Dave Weiner, Mike Keneally, Allen Whitman, and Jeff Cappuccino play, who you never get to see on the you tube videos, was fantastic. My head was swivelling round like The Exorcist.
Steve Lukather was really good, and put his heart into his performance as did everyone. The jam as Jamie said, was HUGE they went for about 20 minutes and all three were having a ball.
Joe's battle with Mike in the intro to God is Crying was really funny, with Mike playing the keyboards with his teeth.
Here's Satch Boogie
LOVE YOU JOE - SEE YOU IN BYRON BAY!!
