This was my 4th Satriani show, I saw him in Barcelona twice and also in Seville in the Guitar Legends Concert, but last time I think it was in 1996. What really surprises me is how much Joe has improved (although that could seem impossible). I think he is in perfect shape , more free and wilder than ever. The band was great and it seems they were having a good time. Stu solo was also terrific. I also liked that they played some old songs like "time machine", one of my favourites, and Joe played an improvised solo different from the album, which I loved. Ice 9 live version it's just amazing. Weirdest solo of all time. And "Andalusia" was great too.
It was very special as I was also lucky to meet Joe briefly after the show (thanks to Stu...) I have to say they were all very kind with us. THANKS FOR A GREAT NIGHT!

Fantastic show in a beautiful venue.
Joe is in an excelent shape, probably one of his bests ever. His live playing kicks ass.
His tone is also superb.
All I can say is that it was perfect, more than I expected, and that is certainly very much.
It was also a perfect day for me, as I had the pleasure to meet Joe, talked to him ands having stuff signed before and after the show. My seat was also very convenient, as I was at second row, just in front of his pedal set, and I took pictures from him from this privileged position.
I also had the pleasure to share experiences before and after the show with 3 T2Jers, all of them very nice and lovely people, who I'm looking forward to meet again some time.
I like PSATMOR, so I had no problem with having lots of tunes from Joe's last CD in the setlist, mixed and blended with Joe's classics of the early times. I enjoyed particulary the intro to Cool#9, played with Stu close to Joe, Time Machine, the extended AWMAWY, and the blast of Andalusia soloing. The final Summer Song got the audience almost bouncing over their seats.
I don't forget Stu. He's brilliant. I used to be a Zepp fan, so I was amazed by his Going to Caifornia-like solo.
Therefore, I'm already counting down time to Joe's next show, maybe a G3 tour in 2009.

Well, for me this was a very special concert, because I had the pleasure of meeting Joe (Preshow), so It was a pleasure for me to be there.
Also, one of the best set-lists mixing very old and new material. I liked much more the live sound of the new album than the studio sound (for example Andalusia is great live).
As always, Jeff played drums great, so I was very happy to go.
From where I was sitting, the sound was a little to high at the beginning, but then it was great.
Thanks for this concert, Hoping to see you guys in the G3 2009.!!!!

It was a really great show which I have the pleasure to attend.
I was really impressed by the excellent sound quality, it can be also that the place Palau de la Música helped a bit on that.
Joe was also really intense playing all the songs.
The songs from the new album got better played live, for example, I wasn't realized until then that Diddle-y-a-Doo-Dat was so good.
I really enjoyed all the songs, also Stu Ham was great.
