January 13th the Fox Theater in Oakland a dream came true. In the late 80's I was reading Guitar world like a madman and kept hearing about this guitar player named Joe Satriani. I decided to go out and get Surfing with the Alien to hear what the buzz was about. Needless to say, I was hooked from the opening song and have followed him ever since. 23 years after hearing him play for the first time, I was finally able to see a live performance. I was unable to attend any of his performances due to my job. (Navy) always deployed when he came into town or stationed in some outpost where he would never go. When I got to Oakland (as part of my new job) I heard the announcement on the radio that he was in town and knew I had to be there. I truly enjoyed the whole show, from the opening act to the final drumstick in the air timed with the whammy bar. Joe, thanks for the wonderful evening! V/R A salty old retired Navy guy.
