The Phoenix gig was incredible Joe, the band was sounding very tight. I am sold on the Peavy :) [I was sold on it last G3 tour] but I won't sell the triaxis/2:90 combo to get it.

The set list was great, a nice mix...they played a lot of material I haven't heard live before, and about 3 songs off the new album.

I've been jamming to "Rubina" a lot the last week or so, I wish he'd have played it. My fave satch song of all time. But he did play a fair few songs from the self titled release, my fave record.

Joe I love Jeff and Matt, but pleaseeee get together with Manu Katche and Nathan East for another dirty/organic master piece. The drums on the self titled were just incredible...so great. And of course the songs and laying were brilliant!

Goodluck with the rest of the tour!

Hi Joe,

I am VERY happy you managed to get Paul Gilbert in this years G3 line up. He's one of my fave's for sure.

Next year, how about Nuno Bettercourt?!

I'll be at the 1st show in Phoenix, 5 rows back, straight in front!!!

By the way, nice choice in cars. The Tesla Roadster is quite incredible, this is the type of EV the big car company's need to make.

Are you a car guy Joe? Do you own a Tesla or just like them a lot? I am a big fan of Turbo'd AWD cars, I own a '95 3000GT VR4, it's a lot of fun :) it's at 400hp now, should get over 500 after my next upgrades.

GeorgeG, the point of the Tesla Roadster is to prove that Electric Vehicle's can be fast, sporty and look cool. All the hybrid's thus far, are designed really ugly for some reason, in my opinion at least.

And this is Tesla's first vehicle, they plan to bring sedan's etc to the market very soon.

While the Tesla Roadster isn't as practical as other 100k sport cars [oxymoron?] it really does compare pretty well, especially that linear torque curve produced by the Electric Motor's.

And one more point :) people buy them because they want a vehicle that produces no greenhouse gases. On a side note, Hybrid's are actually less cost effective [even with gas savings] than regular vehicles that get good gas millage, mainly because of the premium of buying a Hybrid.

I am right into cars, and while I would miss the sound of a combustion engine, I'd love to own a Tesla Roadster! [as long as I could also have a 997 911 Turbo in the garage as well hehe]
