Great site here. I saw the G3 show at the Beacon Monday night and it was great! I waved at Joe a few times from the lower balcony and he actually waved back! Funny watching Yngwie acting like he was the only one on stage - lol. He's truly great and a legend but man I think he could have at least tried to have been a little more sharing. Vai was interesting, first time I've ever heard him live. Very good. Joe was excellent. I wish he would have played memories but what he did play was excellent. I think of all the guitarists everybody was into Joe the most. Petrucci and Neal schon was quite a surpise to me. Had no idea that this could happen. Kinda funny watching Neal seemingly get a little pissed at Ynv when Yngv was doing one of his many solos. Could have been my imagination though. I had a great time.

About Hendrix. At that time, many in that scene were using drugs. He became famous very fast in a scene where drug use was almost a trademark. Look at hendrix. Is it not possible given the particularities of his unique situation that he endured tremendous stresses that many of us cannot imagine, especially at that time in the 60's? Hendrix was just unlucky. But he played guitar like no other before him. His playing had more raw passion than just about anybody you can name. He was a unique genius imo.

Well, blah, blah, thanks for such a great show Joe! You are the best!
