ONE DAY touring with STEVE VAI as AUDIO ENGINEER
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- I've been working with STEVE VAI for about 200 shows now and I wanted to share with you all how is it a normal day working on the road. Of course there's always these little moments that we keep for ourselves, highs and lows. On and on, this is a fair resume of how is a normal day in the tour. This was taken during the Asian leg of the "Inviolate Tour 2023". We did China, Taiwan, Japan, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia, and at the moment I'm uploading this video we are in New Zealand, and soon after we will hit Australia. It's been an amazing run, full of good moments and joy, tasting wonderful dishes and visiting the most incredible places.
Thanks everyone on this tour for giving me that much love.
Dani! What a great video. I saw you last Friday in Brisbane, and to see behind the scenes of this whole day is magical and insightful. Thanks so much for taking the time to film and create this. I loved your singing, and I think it's such a classy move from Steve to encourage you to join in. What a legend. Great show, great band, and looks like a great team. Respect mate 🎸
Thanks for your kind words! We are kind of a family on tour, which makes things so cool every day!.
I was at the Brisbane show also & on the EVO experience. The front of house and lighting was absolutely outstanding!!!
@@DynamitaStudiosChannelone of the best FOH mixes I’ve heard in long time. It was also a pleasure to meet Blane & Carlos. Thanks for your hospitality & showing us around.
This is the guy I would want to hang out with at the show! Just amazing crew and performers backstage as well onstage!
Thank you!!! ❤
Thank you so much for sharing this. 😊
Thank you for watching!!!
Your beautiful energy is what makes touring so much fun! Thank you for this insightful video, Dani! Rock on! 🤘🏾
Oh thanks for your kind words!!! ❤❤❤
You're awesome! Greeting from Thailand.
Thank you!!! Thailand was one of my highlights on this tour!
Was an amazing show in BKK!!
Wow nice clip, Thanks!!!
Thank you! 🙂
Amazing! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you!
Seeing that Hydra being carried around without a case, through doorways and in cars kinda freaked me out. XD Superb BTS video!
Douglas knows how does the Hydra has to be treated. And you can trust him blind!.
Yes, obviously he does and i knew that. My comment still stands - i was a bit stressed seeing it even handled. lol....absolutely nothing about Doug's care and skill being negative. XD @@DynamitaStudiosChannel
That's gotta be a great experience! Very Cool! I used to live around the corner from Steve!
It’s an amazing experience! And Steve is the best!
Te vi en CDMX, tienes un increíble trabajo. Gran video,gracias por compartir.
Gracias!!! Qué gran recuerdo tengo de CDMX!!! ❤❤❤❤
Dude you have the dream job. Little Stevie Vai has come so far. His music is amazing
Thank you! Yeah, definitely it's a dream job!
Saw you guys last may in Finland. And your duet with Steve was definitely the highlight of the concert. It gave me chills.
Oh thank you so much for your kind words! Finland is a very special country for me and that show was so emotional!.
Saw you in Melbourne yesterday! Accidentally stepped on one of Steve's pedals exiting haha! But what a voice!
Hahahaha yep, what an embarrassing moment 😅
It's great to see the actualite of being on tour and doing your best to be the best in all circumstances! I am sure that there have been gigs that have had significant obstacles to overcome and/or skirt around! Thanks to the algorithm for suggesting this video to me!
Thanks for your kind words! Of course there's been "non optimal moments", but they are easy to fix if the attitude is the right one!.
I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Steve vai in Wellington and also getting my Ibanez signed as I purchased a VIP TICKET Your cameo during the love of god was amazing. Thanks for coming to NZ
Thanks for your kind words!!! Wellington was AMAZING!!!
Thank you, great video. Impressive!!❤
Thank you!!! ❤

You're awesome Dani! I have seen you in May when you were in Poland with Steve. Your opera singing is on another level dude 🤘
Thank youuuuu!!!! Poland took my heart away, seriously! ❤
thankyou for the great work you guys do, it is for me always over looked knowing steve and the wonderful being he is i'm sure he looks after you, but just know that without guys like yourself steve could never be as awesome live as he is off the the stage, I know he knows that but it would great if more people were aware of the wonderful job you guys carry out for every show.
BIG BIG LOVE TO YOU MY FRIEND KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.
Thanks for your kind words! Steve always takes care of us so well, he is the best!.
@@DynamitaStudiosChannel a pleasure sir! is there anywhere I could send you an email?
Wow. amazing video. Thanks for taking us through to every moment of a Steve Vai concert.
Thank you! I’m glad that you liked it!
I saw the Show at Buenos Aires. Steve is sounding better than ever.
Yeah! Steve is sounding massive!!!!.
Vai is the elder statsman of shreddy guitar music and I love him for it. Dani! I hope you all take care of each other out there.
He is!!!!. We take care of each other, he is a lovely man and deserves the best!.
@@DynamitaStudiosChannel beautiful!
What aneat dude...Steve is a MASTER...and so layed back
He definitely IS!!!!
Subscribed. Great video.
Thank you so much! ❤❤❤❤
Great video! Very relaxing going through the small, yet important day-to-day life of a tour. Thank you
Thank you!!!
Great show in Melbourne last night. Great vocal performance too. Killer night!!!
Thanks for your kind words!!! Melbourne was soooo hot!!!!!
So rad! Thanks for sharing. This is only slightly better than some of the 95 person capacity taverns I play. 😆😆 j/k Regardless of where you play, got to put on the best show possible. Cool venue, and cool to see what goes into the show... [edit...got to the end...so cool! What a great gig, and you killed that high B...congrats!]
Hahahahaha, 95 person taverns are sooooo cool too!!!. Thanks for your kind words!!!. ❤
Ok more like these videos!!! Such a vibe and very cool idea
👏👏👏👏
Love your video. Dude!! That was quite the Blair witch you pulled.
Thank you! Hopefully less scaring than Blair Witch, hahahaha
This was awesome, well done mate
Thank you!!!.
Hey Dani, ¡Tu mejor momento es el momento favorito de muchos fans! ❤
Ojalá pudiera compartir más!
Awesome man, loved the show in Wellington NZ last week!
Thank you! What a nice and peaceful town! ❤️
bro your opera singing was epic
Oh! Thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked it!!!
I've been house audio for Steve and his crew - great crew to work with. Dante is the man!
Thanks for the work you did! We were so lucky that all house techs has been always great, so thank YOU!!! ❤
@@DynamitaStudiosChannel happy to be of service. I'm not longer a house guy but touring with some groups as well and I know the feeling of a nice house and not so nice house and I'm happy to hear that you got great ones!!!
Saw you sing at the Auckland show! Thank you so much for helping make it one of the best concerts I've seen since.....well, his last one!! Brilliant stuff as always. :-)
Thank you!!! Auckland was great!!!!.
Cool! I was at the Brisbane concert! Great job singing as well.
Thank you so much! ❤
Awww, too cute!
Thank you!
I love this video. You are one interesting guy!
Thank you! ❤❤❤
Hey, I handle artist relations for Heil Sound mics. Let me know if you ever want to play with some. @@DynamitaStudiosChannel
Incredible! What an experience! Love what you are doing. Congratulations and keep up the good work. Godspeed.
Thank you!!! ❤❤❤
Right on man.👍👍
Thank you!
Awesome video !! It’s hard at first to see which one is Steve as both sons look exactly like him !!
Hahahaha, yes, they look like him many times.
Please make more videos, it’s awesome to see a different perspective of what goes into making Steve Vai sound so good
Thank you!!! Yeah, I'm preparing some more stuff like this!
This is really interesting to see. The only time I got to see Steve was a G3 show with Satriani and Kenny Wayne Shepherd a long time ago. We were on the second row and my brother got Steve's pick. Incredible show and band.
A very good friend of ours tours with Halestorm as guitar tech and sound guy. It's cool to see what he does, more or less.
I highly recommend to go and see Steve on tour again. He is doing amazing!. Halestorm is an amazing band, your friend must be great in his job!.
@@DynamitaStudiosChannel I would love to see Steve again, especially a whole show. His band was incredibly tight and he was amazing. He blew an amp during For The Love Of God, unless it was part of the show. They stopped, waited, and went right back to the song as if there wasn't a break to change amps. And when they jammed at the end Steve and Joe wiped the floor with Kenny Wayne Shepherd. He got smoked and it was great to see. His singer did a good job though. We were on the second row in the middle so we got an incredible view.
thanks for sharing! very cool to see what a day touring looks like, I was in the show in Costa Rica, incredible show and the opera part in For the Love Of God was great!
Thank you! Costa Rica was amazing (and sooo hot!!!). You guys rocked!!!.
Totally enjoyed the show in Bangkok last week - amazing. Amazing show, amazing band, amazing crew - new respect for Steve. Awesome dude!
Bangkok was great! Thanks for your kind words! ❤
Engineering, playing and singing 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Triple fun!
👍👍👍🤟
Saw you guys at the perth show. One of the greatest live experiences of my life. It was so much more than just the music but just the love everyone had for eachother on stage as you guys shared your passion for music was so infectious. Your singing on for the love of god was so awesome too.
Thank you so much!!! We got tons of fun in Perth and you guys rocked!!!
That was very cool, congrats on all of your talents!! I’m an old friend of Phil’s we played together in Boston decades ago. Cheers
Thanks for your kind words! You are so lucky, Phillip is the best! Not only an outstanding musician but a true sweetheart and gentlemen too!.
Saw you in Adelaide this week. Fantastic show! Loved your addition to FtLoG and the moment when several of the crew came out to play. Great job!
Thank you so much!!! ❤❤❤❤
You rule! :D
;-) Thanks dude!
❤❤❤
🥰🥰🥰
I was there among the audience! Great to see what goes on behind the scene.
Thank you!!!! ❤
Muy buen video Dany! Gracias por compartir estos momentos! Saludos desde Argentina
Gracias!!!
You know what I’d LOVE to see Steve Vai do? Leave ALL the high-tech at home and go out on an old-school tour.
Analog mixer, pile of cables, big-ass speakers, pedalboard only, 1/2 amps. Mic the drums, DI/mic the bass and just freaking let it rip like back in the day.
THE ANALOG VAI TOUR 2024!!! 🎸 😃👍🏻
I'd love to see that too!!!.
Saw you in Auckland on the 1st Nov then again in Melbourne on the 9th, Awesome!
Thank you!!! Which one did you liked the most???
Both were great, I had better seats in Auckland though, and I knew the guy who did the Haka for you 🤙
Satriani, Vai and Eric Johnson coming to Salem, OR onFeb.1st....can't wait!
That is going to be a HUGE show!
Que genial poder ver de cerca a gente tan talentosa y creativa al lado del maestro Vai... gracias por mostrarnos tu día a día y como es el punto de vista en tu parte del show. lml
Gracias a ti por tu comentario! Me alegra que te haya gustado!
This vlog was so cool! Amazing Dani G!
Thank you so much!!!
Cool seeing the Hydra being carried along there!
Douglas knows well how to take care of the Hydra!
Saw Steve and the boys play in Adelaide on Wednesday, you guys seem like you have a nice tightknit crew and love what you do. Awesome to see the whole crew getting involved on stage too. Definitely one of the best shows I've been to 🤟
Thanks for your kind words! You are right, we love what we do!.
Mate, saw you in Melbourne last night, great job!!!!
Thank you! Melbourne was amazing! You guys rocked!!!
Thats awesome. 99.9% wont have that lifestyle experience.
I appreciate this tours so much because of that!.
thanks
Thank you!!!
I saw you singing opera at the Sydney show. It was a transcendent experience!
Thank you so much!!!
Good for you…..happy. To be happy…
Thank you!
Excellent 👌 😂
Thank you!!!!
Is the audio engineer the owner of this channel? I loved this video! What a good vibe all along and what a huge appreciation in the end, it must fuel this guys soul to keep giving his 110% everytime, WOW! btw Steve is such a gentle dude.
Yes I am! Thanks for your nice words, so glad you liked it!. And yes, definitely Steve is a wonderful human being!.
@@DynamitaStudiosChannel Oh man what an honnor to be chatting with you, I've subscriber to your channel for more content. Rock on!!!
My pleasure! Thanks for your subscribing!@@DanielSell
El trabajo perfecto si exite :)
Podría ser este, si! ❤
I had the pleasure of seeing you sing, oh yeah, and Steve play 😂 in Melbourne. This is a great video.
A little less bass and bass drum in the mix would be great though. 😊
Thank you!!! And thanks for the tip too! Thanks!
Great video, I love Steve, but bro that background music 🎵 choice lol
Cool beans. 🙏
Thank you!!! ❤
Saw Vai, the band, and yourself in Melbourne last night, and have been boring anyone who will listen about how good the sounds was. Have seen many shows at the Palais over the last 30 years and I think this was the best sounding one to date.
One question, is there a meaning behind when you all are playing guitar together and you all kneel or face away from the audience?
Fantastic show at my all time favourite venue.
Thanks for your kind words! I'm so glad you liked it!. Regarding the Incantation steps, it is just something that Steve wanted to do, and in the end it seems to be cool for most of the audience.
Crackkkkkkk¡¡¡
❤❤❤❤
Was working in Penang that day so unfortunately missed the KL show, however (showing my age) first time I saw Steve was with DLR in 1988 on the Skyscraper tour lol
I’m sorry to read that you missed the show, but hey! You were so lucky to see DLR & Steve back in the days!.
@@DynamitaStudiosChannel Indeed, it was also the loudest show I'd ever been to!
wondering how often wireless system is abandond and you grab a guitar cable real quick, this is very cool
Crazy man
Kind of!.
What about getting it on with groupies? Is that when you “check all positions”?
