Joe Satriani Concert Review

Well...to put it in a jist........
FLABBERGASTING
A DREAM COME TRUE
ok...now heres the review....not too much in detail....
i reached MMRDA by 2:45........i dint know where it was, neither did the autowala....so we werer searching for it..but it dint take long to find it....once the rick made this turn the venue came into view.......i thot it was kinda small and couldnt belive that it was it...but then i neared and i heard it....and got the confirmation ..........
hardly anyone was there then......and i was like ok........cool....saw a few guys gathered around a peephole kinds........and they were like....its him playin....and then i peeped thru.........and sure enuf.........he was doin his sound chek....
i started jhuling then and there
we waited and waited and waited and waited..........watched the line grow.....BTW did i mention i had the 2000 wala pass :grin:
luckily i was like 3-4 in the line
the gates opend after much delebriation at around 6:05..........i ran to the front.......and i was rt in the centre of the stage.....and the only thing seprating me from stch ws the baricades
he came at about 6:45 carrying his candy red guitar
and immediately went into a song.........
the setlist was as follows

raspberry jam delta-v
house full of bullets
satch boogie
time
searching
always with me, always with you
summer song
bamboo
up in flames
hands in the air
morrocan sunset
starry night
war
Strange
Is there love in space
psycho monkey
i am goin down
friends
Cool #9
Flying in a blue dream

not in that order....tho more or less ....at lest these are the ones i can remember.............if anybody else went and can remember more......plese add emm...........BTW i love bamboo....he played quiet a lot from crystal planet
who ever said that aftr 5 mins it sounds the same should get his ears cheked.......am not that HUGE a fan and i could make out the diff.

anyways his guitaring was impeccable, and his imprcovisatin amazing......he improvised the end to always with me..and stretched the 3:22 song to a good 8-10 mins......s e x y work though......
the crowd was goin mad...when always with me played the whole crowd was humming the song
its a divine sitte watching joe play.......he just gets into it and just emjoys it so so much...
at one point he played with his teeth

thats it for today
more tommorow
too sleepy
just chek thit out tho

 

heres part 2
ok, on most of the songs he played, it was improvisatins galore...he improvised a lot ..a LOT...
its amazing the way he makes the guitar cry.............his wahs rock
at about 9:40 he had almost wrapped up but then when the crowd asked for more, he kindly obliged, his exact words,"since uvr been such a great crowd and since i love mumbai so much. we can have one more song............ok, am just gonna play i wanna play now...am sure MrJeff Campetelli is worried now, he has no idea what am playing....heres i am going down..." he then started jamming on his mirror finish guitar.............which btw is the s e x i e s t guitar i ve seen.he then went on to play war and then for the final he played friends...
this when all the plec thrwoing and the drumstick throwing was at the max........he also said that playing in india was a dream come true for him.....and that he loved playing it here.....
after the concert was over i decided to jump the barricade and go backstage...the security dint stop me so i went...but Joe had already left along with jeff, matt and the rhythm guy i forgot his name......so i was just walking around back stage....then i thought y not go on stage....and then i did...there i was standing on the very stage where satch was a few minutes back, and looking at the now dispersed crowds...his guitar tech. was still there.....mike 'mad monkey' manning....started talking to him......he was great.....i asked him if he had any of joes picks left...he gave me too..yes those are the ones he played with....:grin: quiet heavy..mebbe a 1.14 or 1.0 mm ones.....then i got to look at the s e x i e s t amps ever..the peavey JSX...400W 1x4 with the s e x y chrome finish ...there were 3 of these and i was in heaven.......then i turned ..and to the rt on the stage where 6 of the s e x i e s t....most amazing guitars i had ever seen..........6 Ibanez JS 2000s lined up on the rack one was a 7 string...
which he played for searching i think..dont remember........i coudlnt belive that i dint notice that being in the first row.........i actually touched his guitar.......held it baby........
6 guitars.....1 with a candy red finsh, 1 mirror ..1 white, 1 had a wierd esoteric pattern..dotty kinda...the 7 string with the transparent red...there was a natural finish....with no veneer or anything which looked pretty amazing too....i asked him about his strings...mike said that he played .9s . someone had told me that he apparantly plays all unwond striings..and i asked about this..and he was like no...he plays regular 3 wound and 3 unwond strings....and then he goes like...wait ill show u....and he takes out the mirror finish guitar and shows it to me, and i couldnt belive i was actually looking at satchs guitar from that close a distance..yah i actually held that baby......
i was in heaven ...in a daze as i walked down the stage......after roaming for a while...i decided to head home.......still in a daze............
that was the most amazing experience in my life....FRIGGIN amazing man
