Hi everyone,

I thought I'd check in again to see if anyone else is going to San Diego tonight...it looks like I'm the only T2Jer so far.

I'll do my best to keep track of the setlist and share notes here, but I have a very busy weekend so I don't know how quickly I'll be able to make a full report. If Joe plays something unusual, I'll share it as soon as I can later tonight. As for the rest of my weekend, after seeing Satch tonight, it's John Williams and the LA Phil at the Hollywood Bowl on Friday and then Satch again on Saturday. Speaking of...campbell, if you're reading this, I still haven't heard from you. Are you still planning on being at the LA show? It'd be great to meet up with you at the gig to say hello.

Anyway, that's all for now...

Hello Stachland, hello friends, hello Joe :) !!

Did you know this videoclip of the song All Alone?

Joe what is that guitar? Very cool. Have a great USA tour. Always with you :).

Warm Regards to all!

Im hoping for after show pass's for either edmonton,ab or calgary,ab !!

Aaand I'm back home. It's late and I'm tired so this will be quick...

There weren't any setlist surprises (no Time Machine or Luminous Flesh Giants)...it was pretty close to what we know from Europe, minus Cool #9 and Rubina:

Jumpin' In
Devil's Slide
Flying In A Blue Dream
Unstoppable Momentum
The Weight Of The World
Ice Nine
The Crush Of Love
I'll Put A Stone On Your Cairn
A Door Into Summer
Lies And Truths
Satch Boogie
Shine On American Dreamer
Three Sheets To The Wind
Cryin'
(something)
Jumpin' Out
Always With Me, Always With You
Surfing With The Alien
-
Crowd Chant
Summer Song

I took a photo of the setlist at the sound booth before the show, but I didn't look at it because I didn't want any spoilers...so I didn't notice until now that it's blurry. I think the line I can't read says "Drum Intro", which would be Marco Minneman's solo.

I'll have more later, probably after Saturday's LA show (so I can talk about two gigs at once).

Tour Time! I still feel terrible about not being able to afford tickets for Spokane Or Salem BUT as it turns out it is for the best, my sis must have a total knee replacement the week of those shows and I will be helping her during her convalescence as her husband is working long hours and won't be able to help care for her much. SO good I did not purchase tickets but still kinda sad. Joe shows don't come along every day.

It's kind of stupid question, but how can I get his autograph/ pick??? Probably ther's a lot of questions like that... so sorry :)

Thanks DTS.. you answered all my questions! Cheers!

campbell - Check your email and let me know where you're sitting. I'm in Row H on the floor, just left of the left isle when you're facing the stage.

EDIT - I looked through your old posts and saw you said you're in the front row of the balcony...I'll try and get up there if I can. I'll be wearing my SWTA 20th anniversary shirt.

Hi Joe! It was a dream come true to actually get to meet you in person last night at the Palms with my wife before the show. This was my first time I've been able to see you perform live, let alone shake your hand. You are an incredible talent and your music has touched so many people , including myself....Your music has lifts my spirits up on those ruff days we all sometimes have. Getting to see your listen to you during rehearsal was a real unexpected surprise and a real treat! Then getting to hand you my JS20s, my now prized possession and something I will cherish forever, for you to sign was surreal and something I've only dreamed about. I was just in complete awe standing in your presence, I wanted to ask you a few things but was just at a loss of words when the moment came. It's not every day you get to meet one of your idols! I must say just were so calm and humble, just could not have asked to meet a nicer person. Then on stage your just like an overloaded tesla exploding with a million watts of power! Thank you Joe for being such an awesome person, and thank you for all the joy your music has brought to me and others, your truly blessed. Never stop rock'in! We love you Joe! Have a great tour! I think the new unstoppable momentum record is incredible, I've been playing it every day for months now, it helps pump me up and get my day started. Thank you again! Safe journeys!

FANS 4 LIFE! Michael & Julie....

Hi Mr.Satriani. My name is Matthew Harnage and I just recently bought a Musicman Ax40 guitar. It has the locking tremolo by floyd rose but no cutout for it to be pulled back on to raise the pitch. I was wondering if I chiseled out the wood myself if that would effect the guitar or if it was a good idea at all? I know it's weird to ask this question. But I thought who better to ask than a professional and famous musician himself. I really hope you find time to answer this message. Thanks a millon. :)

Got tickets for second row tomorrow. Did you guys pick guests for the Talking Sticks if not please consider me thanks. ;)

Joe Hi,
