Cappy Steve: I'll 2nd your comments about Joe Bonamassa. I was lucky enough to catch him perform over 20 years ago when he was only 12 years old. Been following him ever since. Somehow he just keeps on getting better (Live @ Royal Albert Hall is is best yet imho). His new CD "Black Rock" comes out next month (the 23rd). If you pre-order it, they'll ship it to you 2 weeks earlier. Needless to say, I already pre-ordered it and am anxiously awaiting its arrival. If you're interested in it check out Black Rock CD. Free shipping too on all pre-orders.
He's also at work on a new project with Glenn Hughes, Jason Bonham, & Derek Sherinian, called (as of now) "Black Country" ~ named after the area where Bonham & Hughes grew up. That one is supposed to be out around September of this year.
Things are looking up for Smokin' Joe! Now I'd like to see him tour with the next G3.

Cappy Steve: I think people buy the LIP DVD not so that they can moan, but because thay are real Satriani enthusiasts hoping against all hope that they won't find it to be as bad as they've heard. They buy it because they buy EVERYTHING of Joe's in support of him as a person and an artist, and they speak their mind about their disappointment knowing that Joe sincerely appreciates fan feedback and is a big enough man to take it.
I sadly have to agree with AWG5150. The DVD could have been much better with out all the artsy effects. sorry Joe - Luv ya, but it's how many feel.

Cyber alien - Thanks for the linky.
Minimoog - Not quite sure why you felt the need to be personal but go for it girl! I'm also not sure why you think i'm not man enough to take criticism that's not aimed at me, wierd. I presume you think of yourself as one of the 'real fans' you refer to, well 'fan' is short for fanatic, which means excessive enthusiasm and often intense uncritical devotion. Note the word uncritical. Have a nice day not watching the DVD you don't like but felt you had to buy.

sorry cap. I just think if someone doesn't like something, they should be able to say so without getting the "Stop moaning" speech. You're quite right about the word fan, of course. It is much over-used and perhaps I should have chosen a better word: enthusiast?
I regret making it personal. I just wish people didn't get all defensive of Joe. He's just a man. If something Sux - it sux.
LIP DVD sux.
You don't agree?
PS I edited my earlier post - It was indeed rude. I also edited "fan" for clarification.

It's not ALL about the video and effects, its about the music. Some of the effects were good like on "Ghosts". Those went well with the music. They should only stick to the effects on the fast songs like Summer Song and One Big Rush. But the spinning gears on Cryin' kinda annoyed because they didn't make any sense and they were taking up the entire screen most of the time. And those weird lights on Always With me, Always With You were also annoying because the emotion of the song is good enough to add its own effect. But we all know that Joe likes those otherworldly effects and he likes to experiment. Every body remembers his Professor Satchafunkilus podcasts. Did those annoy you too?
The DVD is for listening to music and enjoying because Joe always makes nice improvs of his music to spice it up and make it live.

With DVD comes the ability to give fans a choice of viewing options. The ability, for instance, to select camera angle. They could have done an effects on/off option as well. I appreciate that Joe was just trying to give fans in absentia a taste of the screen experience from the show. The intent was good. It just detracted from the DVD in my opinion.
Blu- ray would also have been nice.

In response to Cappy Steve, I don't buy anything to moan about it!
I went to see Joe in Manchester during the tour and was really looking forward to seeing the show again, as they always seem to go too fast when you are there. I have been to nearly every tour Joe has done in the UK in the last 20 years, and I do have all of his material on cd and dvd. I also own a JS2PRM. I guess that qualifies me as a fan!
Sorry to say though, the latest release is just not good enough. To say that you listen to a dvd is a bit thin. A dvd is for watching. You simply cannot watch this dvd, unless you like mind bending drugs!
I would love to hear what Joe has to say about this dvd. I'm sure he likes to experiment, but at the end of the day, an InConcert dvd is not a collection of video's. Please experiment, but not with my money!!

Peeps - can anyone tell me what the Youtube filters are looking for with regard to copyright?
For example, there are lots of blatant uploads of Joe straight from his DVD's but none of it gets blocked, yet surely it should get picked up
Prompted by something I just tried to upload and it got binned straight off : (

Minimoog - I wasn't being defensive of Joe, if he wants to defend his decisions that's up to him. I just think that the visual aspect has been well and truly covered and there is not a lot to be gained from continually grumbling about it. I also think that if folk buy the DVD knowing they're not gonna like it and consequently aren't going to play it they must have money to spare. I would respectfully suggest that the Haitian relief effort could put the money to better use.

The effects issue may have been covered to YOUR satisfaction, but as more people continue to buy the DVD (and how can they truly know if they will like it until they do so), the opinions, both positive and negative will continue to roll in. I respectfully suggest you get used to it.
True, people spend their money - they takes their chances. But their right to comment should remain. Though you may find the repeated expressions of disappointment to be tiresome, does not make the viewpoint invalid, nor does it constitute "moaning".
