I dont know if the trasport or $$ is the issue, but the stage and setup in VIcar St. is pretty small compared to some of the other big venues that he is playing at, stage really isn't that big here, probably made a whole lot mroe sence just to get it goin on for the bigger theatres starting from the UK and across Europe
+ cool vids, can see my head there somewhere!
+ the notes under the txt box has the bb type code for adding a link

One thing I would be interested in is how much you paid for yor ticket for the Dublin show as if you paid the same as we did here in GB then I would feel a little annoyed that the production wasnt the same... I paid £33 for my ticket

Tickets for Dublin were €46.35..Thats including booking fee.
And with todays exchange rate that works out to £40.70..So we paid significantly more than you guys.

Putting on fire suit in prep of flames.
4th listen through and still trying to get into the new CD. Was chatting with MikesB this mornin and I told him it seems the melodies are a bit less 'singable'. I really liked SC and ITLiS right out of the box but this one may need to grow on me. Still looking forward to the show in Jan though. Gonna be fun!

Tickets were about the same without booking fee ...but we always end up paying more anyways, just the way it is
Even the merch stands, the price of a t-shirt here was €30 or USD $40 UK £25 ...some of the same shirts are $10 on the site, Were the shirts £20 at the manchester shows!? prob!
Just the way it goes, doesn't really bother me, used to it really
It's also $11 for a pack of 20 cigarettes, $5.20 for a gallon of petrol, $7.70 for a beer... I could go on, but not seeing a backdrop doesn't bother me really
Lots o' people have some damn cool cams now, pretty amazing quality on the vids!

" Just the way it goes, doesn't really bother me, used to it really "
Satch is the only gig ive ever been to where the artist has,nt brought over the same production as he has for UK/Europe.
In my 20 years of attending concerts ive never been to any other gigs where the production is less than everywhere else.
Im sorry if i seem to be harping a bit too much on this because i did really love the show.
I just think the missing bits would have made it visually even better

@scuba - Thanks for all the good stuff! Weird... I went to Roger Waters last night with a migraine, thought I was the only maniac. I could never bring myself to miss a show.. I'll quote Zappa's Thing-Fish: "What? Leave now, at THESE ticket prices?!" Nope. Just get heavily medicated (aka Comfortably Numb) and ride it out. Great show too btw.
smooches,

On Saturday, I went to the Rutgers Vs. Army game at Giant Stadium. It was a great game. Although Rutgers was down 3 to 17 after the first half, they came back and won the game at 23 to 20. But in the middle of the fourth quarter, Rutger defensive tackle Eric LeGrand hit the Army player running the ball on the kickoff. My uncle and I were on the farside of the stadium, but we knew it was a bad hit once it happened. It took 5+ minutes to get him off the field. I just found out last night that he is paralyzed from the neck down due to injury to the spinal cord. If he is lucky, he will be able to walk again. So I kindly ask you to keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

@Alesann - much as it hurts me to tell you this (I want to win it too) if you can't afford the club Joe package(s) you can add your name to the "attending" list for the Montreal show, 1 lucky SOB will get a FREE meet'n'greet upgrade around 3 days before the show. I've been trying to win one of these for a long-ass time. Hopefully this year it's my turn. Go to the ROAD section up top, then when you're on that page click on the North American dates about halfway down the page on the right, that will drop down all the shows, click the big 'A' in the gray circle at the left of the Montreal show listing, then you'll be signed up to win, with all 6 of us.
Karmically, this was the right thing to do. Still my eyelid twitches.
smooches,

I know Joe played Cannon in D with FunTwo on Youtube Live, but did he ever do his own cover?
Tell me if this video is real of fake. Personally I don't think it sounds like Joe.

Subject: Request for an unforgettable 20th Birthday in Paris!
Dear Mr. Satriani,
I apologize for bothering you with this short email but I have a special request.
It will be my twentieth birthday in a few days (to be accurate, on the 20th of October!).
As I’m really fond of what you do, and also because I look up to you, this birthday is going to be very special, very...“Satchi”! Indeed, I have booked my ticket for your concert in Paris on the 25th October. Moreover, I’ve already bought my birthday gift... a JS 1000.
I know it’s a long shot, but I had to try!
So here is my crazy request:
Would you mind writing an autograph on my guitar if I brought it after the show?
I know that there is one chance out of thousand (one billion would be more realistic!) to see this dream fulfilled, but it would mean a great deal to me.
I would like to thank you in advance.
Best regards.
PS: If someone knows a better place to post it and have a better chance to be seen... Let me know ! Thanks

Well folks...its been a long time since i've posted on here...but i needed to share my success story.
I live in Austin and was waiting on the pre-sale to go live this morning. the theater web page never updated the info or went live on the sale. So around 11am i called the box office and was transferred to a booking mgr, who told me "ohh crap...i forgot to update the page and start the fan club pre-sale, thanks for reminding me. check the page in a few min and it will be up "....5min later it got posted and i was lucky enough to get center stage in row A.
Thus is my little contrabution to Joe's touring cause
I'm a happy monkey....yay
