JOE SATRIANI IN CONCERT:
Joe Satriani’s virtuoso guitar playing is more than just flawless technique and blistering speed -- he also forms an emotional connection with fans that is beyond words. His genuine love of riff-based rock ensures that audiences are in for a sonic thrill ride at his live shows, where his nimble fingers and finely tuned ear bring his ballads to life. While “Satch” (as friends and fans refer to him) turns melodies inside out and shreds up a storm, his cast of astounding supporting musicians keeps the grooves solidly rocking throughout six-string stunners like “Surfing with the Alien”, “Satch Boogie”, and “Flying in a Blue Dream”. Ticket buyers are in for a transcendent instrumental experience that can't be beat, featuring a brilliant musician in impeccable form.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
The highest-selling instrumental rock guitarist of all time, Joe Satriani was born in Westbury, NY in 1956. Before he gained fame, Satch made a living teaching some of the most influential guitarists of the ‘80s, including Kirk Hammett (Metallica), Steve Vai (David Lee Roth), and Larry LaLonde (Primus). His solo career took off with the hits “Always with Me, Always with You” and “Satch Boogie” off his 1987 album Surfing with the Alien. He kept his hot streak alive with his next two albums Flying in a Blue Dream (1988) and The Extremist (1992), which both went gold. In 1996 Satriani started the G3 Tour with friends Steve Vai and Eric Johnson to bring instrumental guitar music to the masses. In 2008 Satch joined forces with former Van Halen members Sammy Hagar (vocals), Michael Anthony (bass), and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith to create the supergroup Chickenfoot. While those projects keep him crazy busy, Satriani still continues to tour -- bringing venues like Warner Theatre to capacity -- and record as a solo artist, releasing Unstoppable Momentum in 2013.

OMG--what a fantastically phenomenal show! Two of the greatest guitar gods to ever walk the planet and I was alive to see it! How lucky can a girl be?! Get your tickets ASAP and goooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The sound was To loud. And if you want to buy some to drink you have to wait forever.
I thought Joe and Steve put on a great show!! Really enjoyed the venue.
I will only say the two together Joe S and Steve V were completely incredible. The show was completely from beginning to end was the best performance you will ever see. If you get the chance to see both performances you will be lucky. What a night to remember.
Steve Vai came first. Amazing performance and showmanship. Then Joe Satriani. again amazing performance, Steve joined Joe's band, The twin guitar riff is phenomenal. More than 3 hour drive to Red Bank, NJ was worth it. There was solar eclipse on 4/8. I had to stop nearby Princeton to watch the 90% eclipse on the way to the concert. Joe mentioned Pink Floyd regarding his eclipse experience. I wish they played the PF's song but I know that due to the copyright, that's not possible. I will see Steve again in this fall when he comes with Beat-King Crimson. He will replace Robert Fripp.
Took my son on his birthday as a surprise. He loved every minute of it. Steve and Joe put on an amazing show. I’m so glad they made a stop in Chicago and my family and I were able to experience both of them live!
steve vai opened with a blistering set of his work. then joe satriani comes out rocking. joe covered a wide range of his material along with kenny aaronoff beating the daylights out of the drums
Wonderful venue with excellent sound and seating. Easy access to parking. Both musicians were phenomenal. Would definitely go to another concert here.
That was my third time seeing Satch and I am renewed. My soul is still vibrating from Sat. night. It was starting to get revved up with Stevie who puts you in another world then Joe takes you cosmic! When the 2 of them did some Van Halen & Metallica at the end, WOW what a cap on an already great night!! As an added bonus this year, I get to see Joe with Sammy, Micheal & Jason later on!! Can’t wait!!!
