- Flashback to a 1993 segment of The Tonight Show starring Jay Leno, where Joe and his band took the stage to hype up the release of his album, “The Extremist.” 🔥🎸
- “I was so sick with the flu during that very important performance. High on Sudafed and a bit nervous to be on live TV, it’s hard to believe it went as well as it did. Gregg and Matt Bissonette on drums and bass, with Phil Ashley on keys were great. Jay Leno was very supportive, and funny as always.”
![(13-year-old) Joe Bonamassa • “Blues Jam” • 1990 [Reelin' In The Years Archive]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/YgrbQCaOXaQ/mqdefault.jpg)
Greg Bisonette on drums. The album has a solid tone. Satch so kool as ever. Perfect example of things should be easy to learn and are hard to master. Thanks Joe 🙏 "practice makes perfect" 🙏✌️🤘🎸🥁🏴🇦🇺
Don't forget Greggs brother Matt on bass. One of the finest musical sibling combos of all time.
Those marching band chops were solid
No. That's your mom on drums. She plays great satanic brutal death metal.
Knew he looked familiar! And Satch good as he was then I could not have imagined how far he would go. Still I wonder where Vai would be today without his obvious influence
To all you youngaters and those that have been around but just found Joe Satriani,
This is the pinnacle.
He is a legendary composer and a wizard on guitar.
They nicknamed him "Smoke".
Man I can’t imagine a world where instrumental guitar artists were featured on late night shows. It was a niche genre by the time I got to it
Not just that but even experimental electronic artist as well as extreme metal bands like Death Deicide Kreator and Sepultura were featured on both cable and local public access television playing on big mainstream TV studios at the time. Times were definitely at their peak in the 80s and 90s.
Man, things played with stringed instruments are niche genres these days 😂
@@peadookie He clearly said INSTRUMENTAL. as in "no singer". try to keep up, or simply don't say anything, Einstein.
i saw this video when i was a kid. and changed my life forever.Thanks for all Joe. you are inspiration all over the world. We love you.!!!
No one cares.
@@adriantrusca1245actually people do care. Over 100k views just on this video alone.
You’re just being a negative little twat. Now THATS worth not caring about haha only enough to point it out ;)
you are wrong...69 cares!!! you are the only 1 loser.!!! it's possible you could not play 1 note with the guitar!!!!
@@adriantrusca1245 you're wrong. 69 cares. Maybe you're the only one who cannot play a note with a triangle.!!!
This is exactly why he's my favorite guitarist. Absolutely the king of note dynamics
I think Vai and Hendrix are microscopically better, IMO
@@ballaking1000 absolutely a valid take. They are all so good at that point that it ends up being a preference thing. Like I don't actually think Satriani is the best player to ever live, he's just the player I can relate to and get the most out of. I don't try to sound like him or anything, but I base my approach to lead guitar on how I perceive his playing. With a heavy emphasis on striking a balance between melodic expressive type playing that fits with the song and fast shredding. And of course the emphasis on dynamics too. I absolutely love Steve Vai too, and yeah Hendrix is amazing. He played so differently than everyone else at the time and still to this day nobody has really been able to copy it very well. So many ppl talk about his lead guitar playing but his chords and rhythm guitar playing is equally amazing if not more so. Hendrix will always be in his own category of awesome.
@@ballaking1000 Hendrix and Beck, perhaps. Vai, no way in hell.
@@Ou8y2k2You don’t know Vai’s body of work and it shows
Very expressive! So good! Technically awesome too :) VEry expressive LOVE IT! :D !
The Legend Himself (and my sons and I are laughing at Leno calling the second song “Scratch” Boogie) 😂
Calm down, nerd. Easy mistake to make.
LMFAO!!! Scratch Boogie hahaha :P !
@@adriantrusca1245Easy to make a mistake when you're an idiot. 😂
I thought he said scratch boobie 😊
I remember buying The Extremist on cassette at Sam Goody's, which happened to be my last cassette before getting a CD player. Time Machine the very next year was a my first double CD album. Joe's been there for a lot of firsts and lasts.
ha! I bought Time Machine at Wherehouse as a double cassette, didn't get a discman until a few months later
Time Machine is amazing
The extremist was my first cd!
Joe's early 90's tone was so 🔥🔥. Miss this era of his career.
*_The Bissonette Brothers were really nailin' the groove to the stage hard!_*
🤘
😫
🎸
I swear that Joe just looks at his guitar and it plays for him!
Been a fan since 1985. Yes, I am that old. Joe, you are the best guitarist I have even seen in my life.
Have a great day, Sir! o7
In the same club. My brother was at Berklee in the mid 80s and turned me on to Joe when Flying in a Blue Dream came out. Now I'm the old dude riding downtown with the windows down cranking this crazy guitar music.
"Scratch Boogie": it will leave you itching for more! 🤘😆
Cat Scratch Boogie!
That people caught that is even funnier...lol
Huh, all these years I thought it was "Snatch Boogie"...🤣
Satch Boogie, OKAY?!!!
Joes been giving me goosebumps and a smile, a giggle and a tear since an old aquantence named Mitch turned me on to him in the late 80's.
Thanks Satch!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Friends" is still one of my feel-good beautiful-day cruising-with-the-top-down songs. It's an anthem of happiness.
Surfing with the alien, Always with me, always with you.
@@Crazytownmetal6 You know it! That's what turned me onto Satch back when it was first released. Still on my personal top 10 favorite songs of all time. Still listen to it regularly.
@@user-fq5mw9vs9o Me too!
Man, something bitter sweet about that tonight show closing theme. Brings back good memories but makes me sad that they are gone.
Time went by in a blink of an eye we have gotten old my friend, I saw Joe and Steve about a month ago at Beacon NYC where I had seen him before for the first time exactly 30 years ago, only now my son is older than what I was back then.
Late night TV will never be as good as it was from 1970-1995.
No one cares about you or your feelings.
Eef yew ette tew sweate pitaytoes, yew ken mayke aye gewd, stronge, faurt
Gentlemen, Joe is not only a master of the guitar, he is an exceptional composer,Joe! thank you for "the extremist" one of my favorite albums ever!!!
Agree. My go to Satch album
The Extremist was an amazing full-length follow up to Flying and Surfing. The album was released in the summer but it felt like Christmas! Seeing him in those Sony Walkman commercials was super cool. It was an exciting time - that early era always had something fresh and innovative sounding in each song.
Aw I wish I was there :( !!! Would love to see that :P !
I've loved Joe most of my life. Have seen him play live in 5 different decades. But The Extremist is my least favorite album by him.
@@cygnustsp Ooooh, now that's a hot take! Why is it your least favourite album?
@@chrisluckhardt couldn't get into any of it. Felt let down after Time Machine. It seemed like a commercial record. My faith was 100 percent restored with his next record and Crystal Planet completely blew me away
@@cygnustsp Oh wait, you're confusing The Extremist with his 1995 self-titled album. The release sequence was The Extremist (1992), Time Machine (1993), Joe Satriani (1995), and Crystal Planet (1998). The 1995 album was a huge letdown for me too after Time Machine, but Crystal Planet was amazing and a welcomed return to form!
Edit: I'm listening to Time Machine as I write this. Lydian mode for days!
I bought the Extremist cassette after watching the Summer Song Sony commercial when I was 13. Changed my life!!
Still think this is his best album easy. Crystal Planet #2
I too bought it back in '92 as an 18 y/o, and listened the shit out of it with my new girlfriend. 32 years later shes the old lady.
I too think Extremist is his best.
Titles like that might get you on a watch list these days.
I agree.the song why is the best track for me,simple 3 chords progression but sound magnificent and yeah..id ranked this album as no 1,planet no 2.
First Satch song I ever learned… by ear too. 🤘🏼
Newer fans don’t understand that since he wears shades on stage all the time these days, he’s playing mostly with his eyes closed. 😮 I noticed that when I saw him tour on The Extremist. 🤘🏼
Guy was sick with the flu and he still sounded better than the album playing live. Incredible. :D
Edit: Guys, it says he was sick IN THE DESCRIPTION. xD
Even if true, I totally understand why he played sick.
I wouldn't say better than the album.
He was playing a guitar not running a marathon
Wow…..you’re easily please. I’ve worked on building sites in frost with flu. I’m sure many folk have done harder things than playing guitar with flu.
You total dogsdick🤡🤛🏻
And no one wore a mask terrified for their life.
❤ Джо, по тебе и не скажешь, что ты болен. Ты настоящий и при этом Великий артист! И ты это наглядно продемонстрировал. Мне вспомнился концерт твоего старинного друга - Стива Ваи - осенью 2013 в Омске (Россия, Сибирь), когда у него была температура 38°С. Выступление было под вопросом.. Но в итоге концерт состоялся и длился один час пятьдесят минут. Вы, ребята, из алмаза, я полагаю. Браво, Джо! И браво, Стив (я на концерте постеснялся ему это крикнуть😊).
I saw Joe 4 times live. He is absolutely amazing!! He plays with such feeling. He doesnt just shred ,he shreds with feeling.
I love this song so much!!!! Please play it live again :)
Oh wow, what a treat. Thanks heaps to the folks behind Joe's channel for bringing some of this stuff back in surprisingly good quality. There's a real dearth of live video recordings of Satriani pre-1996 and so it's so special for long term fans like myself to see him during these earlier eras!
A perfect work! What a wonderful theme! We felt that we could musicalize the happiest and most radical moments in life! This intensity and joy is Satriane! Long life!
That kit sounds unreal; considering that it was television audio. Very awesome Satch
tv audio yes, but on a show that had a huge musical profile and the staff to care for it.
Satch having the flu is what breaks me just watching this - when I had flu, I would not want to be anywhere loud, let alone near a Bissonette or two!
Geezus Branford Marsalis is SOOO good. That outro solo is ridiculous. Great performance by Joe!
Blessed to have a JS 6000 and Joe is the greatest!
That is the one that got away for me. Still regret selling it...
Guitarists take note. JS did not become famous and open the door for solo guitarists by shredding. He is a bit of a shredder. But his success came through playing melody driven solos, much like Eric Johnson. Seems everyone is shredding these days and putting melodies on the back burner. Then you are just one more shredder in the large bin of shredders.
Correct. I first became aware of him when he toured Australia with Mick Jagger’s solo band a couple of years before this tv appearance. He fit right into that band, didn’t try to turn it into van Halen.
Dude, this is from 1993. The finger tapping during Satch boogie is E.V.H. learning. His Summer Song for Sony commercial put him up into status. The fact that everyone knows who he helped teach is a plus. His ability is King.
Dude. He’s a fucking shredder. He’s just also a great musician. But he def got famous for his shredding.
These guys were still pushing and moving forward through the 90s.
Absolutely. We are at peak level of awesome players right now, but none of them are making compelling ORIGINAL MUSIC. Very few exceptions-you got Ola, Lari Basilio, Sophie Burrell….not much else. The rest of these guys are either someone’s sideman, or they’re purely just UA-cam/Instagram show-offs
GUITAR GOD. JOE SATRIANI. KING JOE. badass guitar player. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
I still have the cassette Surfing with the Alien 👽
@@rubenbenitez8225
I saw that album tour. Great concert. . Joe was on fire. Good memories. Good times.
@alexsaucedo8032 Awesome 👌
Don't forget...he taught Steve Vai... Kirk Hammet... and others too many to mention 😎👍🎶
So Freaking Amazing!!! Saw you for the first time in Adelaide Australia when I was 16. Flew interstate to see you and then flew back the following year and didn’t meet and greet. 34 now and you’re still a hero to me! Love watching these old clips ❤
I saw him at Enmore theatre in Sydney in '95
Greetings from KWWL country in eastern Iowa. Keep kicking butt and taking name Joe!!!!
My favorite guitarist/musician is Joe Satriani with so many awesome songs and incredible musicianship all-around on all his albums.
Satch can write such happy music!
I remember that night so clearly! I had just bought my first guitar and was just starting to learn how to play and this came on the tv. Talk about inspiring. I went out the very next day to buy that album and had that on repeat for weeks!
Such a timeless energy!!!!
Legendary. Thanks Joe.
Lest we not forget he’s a great teacher as well. He taught Steve Vai and Kirk Hammett how to grind as well. All great additions to music!
31 years ago. That brought back vivid memories.
Guitar legend 🎸
He has been my driving motivation to play guitar for 30 years!!! And still going strong,he is one of goats
Oh yes, the good ole "hair shred" days. Is it sad that I'm old enough to remember watching this live on the tube? Damn good renditions of Friends and Satch Boogie
Man, Gregg Bissonette is just the best. Always has been.
Just saw him on the Satch/Vai tour and he does not skip a single notes. Satch is and forever will be my favorite guitarist. Dude is the definition of cool.
Joe is so much fun in concert, saw his Flying in a Blue dream tour in Fort Wayne, amazing.
I seen Joe in I think 95 at the American theater in St. Louis, it was when he shaved his head, oh my God amazing,Stu Hamm on Bass, best musical performance I've seen and I've seen many, you're the man Joe
Greg AND Matt Bisonette!!!
Yes young people Joe did have hair! Greg and Matt also played with on the second DLR album tour.
thanks for posting!
I was a pretty good player when I was young. I still am a pretty good guitarist, but I have a silly problem that I was never able to overcome....When I'm really jamming my ass off and having fun, I can't control my laughter and I screw up. I am having so much fun that I honestly can't control my laughter. I lost studio gigs because of it. A producer once told me to think about sad things like a dog dying because he knew my talent...Nothing worked. I know this sounds crazy but it's the truth.
I could have made a good living doing what I love, I just couldn't control my happiness when I was playing. Some of you reading this understand the joy of being in the groove musically and how good it feels. It feels great! It just made me TOO happy. In the middle of a piece I could hear everyone else in the band doing their part perfectly and inside my head I was telling myself "Don't screw up, don't start laughing". I would usually lose it right after a solo and start laughing uncontrollably. It became obvious that I couldn't make a living with music. After 3 years of playing professionally nobody wanted me around anymore. I can't blame them.
I see videos of bad musicians slamming nonsense out of their guitars with angry looks on their faces. That's not me. Two of my siblings suffer from the same affliction. When my brother and sister and I really go at it musically, one of us is bound to lose our cool and we have to end the song with a crescendo of laughter. I'm the youngest at 60 years old and we still play hard-driving rock (at least until the laughter starts). The texture of the music that we are playing hits us ......."damn, this is good"....Then we start smiling, then we throw some crazy riffs in, next thing you know we can't catch our breath because it's a great jam and we start laughing our asses off!
We need Dr. Phil. We are too happy.
It’s because you idolize and compare yourself to people on screen too much. Try doing it for yourself. I had a mate with that problem and it was related to him comparing himself to people on tv
Joe's best album. The catchiest of lead melodies. He let his legato really go sick. 🎸
Mostly major keys and great vibes! *92 - a great year*
Great stuff (as always) thanks for posting !
There are guitarists, musicians and then there is Satch. Many players of today owe a lot to him. Kirk Hammett for one. He doesnt emulate or imitate anyone. He became what he is by being music. He is an artist and there will never be another like him. Everytime album and every concept ive been to, he never ceases to amaze me
Thanks for coming to La Vista, Nebraska recently Joe!! it was a great show, you haven’t lost any of the magic, and I was enthralled the entire time! We were glad to have you! Please come back!
As for this flashback, it was great fun! Thanks for posting this.
I was on Brazil learn everything about hear thanks Joe
nothing short of incredible
Thanks for vídeo ❤
Found him before I had Internet ❤️🔥💯👍
More of these please!
Great clip. Love the music. Thanks Joe!👍😎
Oh damn! I love this song. Wish he would still play it. Shocked he didn't play Summer song but glad he didn't lol.
"Friends" has an anthem vibes... I like both 🎸🎵🎶
This groove reminds me of the song “Open Your Eyes” by Alter Bridge, and Mark Tremonti absolutely slayed that sound with some yummy riffs! I like this song as well. Heard OF satriani, but never heard him. Glad I clicked.
Perfect music !!
Joe Satriani's Jordan performance! Nailed it so much energy
I love this song takes me back to the 90s when I first heard him and got me into playing guitar
Right on. Thanks for sharing.
What a boss flawless performance. What a beautiful uplifting song!
Being in the studio with him back when dinosaurs roamed the earth:
Not only a great guitar player but an undeniable class act.
Oh tje good times of first learning all these sings on guitar for me was amazing, i had such good memories of sunlit nights bottle of wine and my headphones and a backing track , thanks joe, for giving us all memories we can never forget
6:09 That whammy bar hit with the fist is awesome. I remember this from back in the day. I totally forgot about those big paper CD sleeves also. They later got replaced with clear plastic ones and then were totally removed to allow more space on store shelves.
Absolutely incredible performance! Satch and the entire band killed it!! 🤘🔥🤘 Thank you Joe 🙏
Satch has that searing hot guitar tone that just rips. Killer phrasing and legato. Puts on one helluva live show
you forget how many mullets were still around in 92 :)
Joe Satriale playing scratch boogie. Awesome🤣🤣
Thanks to YT I can watch this in awe with a delay 32 years. We didn t have this on german tv and I would have killed for this at the time !
How can you NOT enjoy this! This is FANTASTIC!!! :D!
Along with Tom Selleck and Rita Rudner....great lineup on this day!
I SAW THIS, lol!
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful guitar
Fun!! 🥰Thanks Joe for sharing!!
☺️✌️❤️🦋🙏
Amazing Joe . 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊
NBC was on a Satriani kick around this time. I remember the credits after the closing ceremony of the Albertville 1992 Olympics featured the entirety of "Flying in a Blue Dream".
Es increible como se puede percibir el volumen que hay en ese estudio!!
The coolest man on the earth, he demonstrate the ability to make a simple music that stays in minds !
Joe satriani is the best way to be an adult musician :)
Scratch boogie? Haha, great footage and performance guys ❤️
I remember staying up late and recording this on my VCR. Ah, to be 17 again! 💙 ya, Joe!!
Great performance, I never would have guessed you were sick!
Mannn as beautiful as this performance was by Mr. Satch himself.....that outro song by Kevin Eubanks and band gives me goosebumps. What a beautiful composition that is too...ufffff what a dose of nostalgia.
Awesomeness!👏👏👏
My Guitar Hero, saw him live at the Ryman in Nashville tn last year. I was five feet from a Genius Guitar God.
Still one of my inspirations and an awesome down to earth dude.
Satch breaking out an early JS with non-floating bridge for Friends. No pinch harmonic dive bombs, so no whammy needed :D Killer sound in the tonight show studio. Great performance of "Scratch" Boogie. Greg Bisonette killing it as always. Wonderful video. Would love to see more instrumental music on network television these days.
I saw him when he was first breaking ('85?) in Austin. Stood up there in ragged blue jeans, a T-shirt, and hightops and tore the house down. Made it all look effortless. All the local guitar heroes left afterwards wth their tails between their legs. (well, except Eric Johnson and SRV!) What a monster....
nice. satch is the reason i picked up an axe in 1986/7.
ibanez... of course. marshall... of course.
a true legend. thanks for the upload!
And after this I’ve been to see him and vai 5x. 😊
Amazing, Joe! 🤩
Constant chills. Just unbelievable.
1992 at 12:15AM? I was either furiously finishing my homework to get to sleep, or actually sleeping because I missed this. Thanks for the post, Joe.
Love him. One of the few that don't sound like they're practising scales. There's actually melody, light and shade.
Comecei a ficar encantado pelo som da guitarra por causa do "The Extremist". Depois desse album, comecei a ouvir mais guitarristas ao invés de bandas tradicionais !! obrigado Joe !! Congratulations from Brasil !!
One of the greats!! Thabks Joe
