@@bbc_nnnn at 3:02, he motions to someone at stage left, pointing at Eric and giving a palm up sign. Then when Eric starts soloing at 3:37, he senses Eric's volume level isn't highlighting his solo spot enough, he turns to his own amp and dials down.
Which is surprising. The dude plays at extreme volume on stage...at least he used to. Met him one time at a meet and greet on the Ah Via Musicom tour in Atlanta. Played the center stage theater. Three piece band. He had plexiglass in front of his amps and they still got over the PA. If you were standing at the stage.
Just saw them. In this case Eric was noticeably quieter than the other 2, but not in a good way. He had some tech issues along the way and for multiple vintage Marshall heads it wasn’t giving him any feedback. So there’s that. He may be sick too but that’s just an educated guess. Still great regardless.
satch in particular has generated some of the most inspired and inspiring instrumental guitar compositions of my lifetime... i am eternally grateful! got me through some heavy stuff over the course of my life.
Notwithstanding the great threesome 6 stringers taking most of the spotlight and lion share of solos, I still say the secret ingredient of this band is the incredibly versatile, underrated and prodigious keyboardist and singer /songwriter Rai Thistlethwayte.
Ditto - I didn't even know about it until I saw this video. I saw the original G3 Tour/lineup back in 1996 in NYC at the Beacon Theatre....although Adrian Legg opened for them, who was incredible
hey everybody who loves guitar, rock and roll, hard rock, psychedelic rock alternative rock we really have to thank these guys for keeping guitar alive because the industry tried to kill it off.
Great stuff! they all sound amazing as always, as does the rest of the band! Too bad Eddie never played one of these gigs with them. Would have been interesting to see his influence in there.
If Edward was a part of it I would definitely buy a ticket . He was not of this world and I guess it was one of the reasons Dweezil worshiped him growing up despite always being around Vai.
He had a massive ego and was clearly threatened and worried about being outplayed especially with the improv. He was used to being worshipped as the best, but was actually very limited as an instrumentalist. So many of his solos have exactly the same phrases, especially that whammy scoop hammer-on thing he did to finish off almost every solo. I don't think he'd come off well on a G3 show in direct comparison to technically better guitarists.
I JUST got back from seeing the 'Vegas show (literally). Awesome, like all the other G3 shows I've seen. I've also got front row to see Satriani/Vai in Houston in May! WooHoo!🤟🤟
Can’t believe I saw their first tour in Phoenix in the late 90s. Gee it’s making me feel old. It was amazing. It was at an amphitheater and it was loud even being outside. Joe had his stuff cranked up. Amazing!
I have never seen these guys live in person--what I would have given to have been at this gig! I have always loved them all, but have have been blown away by Vai--the more I learn his back story (with Frank and his notation) and I realize that I missed out on a little of best during his prime!
@@ArmandoTheGym I listened for the second again right now. I think the problem was in part me. I'm so used to hearing exotic scales and shredding from these guys. And, also some tunes are better played mostly straight. I actually heard some pretty awesome tones listening this time
I would love to see this reunion, but they aren't playing any of the G3 shows in my area. However I am going to see Satch & Vai in April, so I guess two outta three ain't bad. 😁
Someone needs to reconsider the audio mix for these three guys together. EJ has vintage output pickups and Vai’s have about 5 1/2 times the output and then there’s the vintage amps vs the Synergy stuff. Either turn the two hi output maniacs down or turn the Vintage man up! If it’s gonna be like that at the LA show in a couple weeks I’m gonna be real mad.
Can you imagine how many hours of practice are standing up there on that stage? I probably could have made it to the big stage myself, but I let my depression take over my life and stop me from chasing my dreams. Now regret follows me like a shadow at noon
Its amazing Joe Satriani is still Joe Satrianing and Steve Vai is still Steve Vaing.... I hope Eric Johnson will be Eric Johnsoning again as he used to do in a short period of time.
Johnson was holding back to not deflate the other two egos on stage. All three are awesome, Eric Johnson's playing is untouchable. This is Teacher/Student nostalgia jamming. Plus Eric Johnson holding back.

Joe is so good, he plays guitar and the drums at the same time.
Most transgender folks are somewhat unattractive 😂
Hahahahah
Joe is a barbiedoll
🤣😂😅🤪😝😱🤔👍😎🤘
And Harmonica
Steve motioning to turn up Eric, and when it doesn't happen, he turns himself down during Eric's part 🤘🏼
when?
@@bbc_nnnn 3:00
yeah!! such a humble legend🤟

I caught that, too!
Can't believe it's 28 years since G3 began in 1996. I still got the cassette tape of the first G3 album featuring these 3 guys.
I have the DVD its amazing still
...Mine got spoilt in mid 2000s....both cassette & CD📼💿😢..
I was there for the first tour, Austin Music Hall. Standing room only for like 3+ hours. My legs and feet were on fire by the end of it.
Turn Eric up would ya!
big time!!
Unfortunately the nature of his warm and buttery tone doesn’t fit well with the hi gain players next to him.

Always yes
The sound guy needed to listen better and put both Eric and Joe up way louder in the mix!
So cool how the guys keep their uniqueness whilst still playing the blues…incredible
“The Blues”… 🤔😆🤘🏼✌🏼
Apart from anything else, I'm just so pleased to see someone as unbelievably talented as Rai Thistlethwayte getting these gigs!
More love for Thirsty Merc
Steve came in like a freight train ! 😮
Satch has the best facial expressions ,heart and soul..and great chop's to boot.
He just sing when he play
The best G3 lineup ever!!! ❤ 🔥 👍
Steve’s tone is killer.
Louder will always be perceived as better by nature of human brain

Way too phocking loud.
Steve sounds greats. His guitar cuts well. It has some bite @@SharpEdgeStandardOfficial

I kinda grew up with these guys as my heroes. It's nice to see that they honestly seem like humble dudes.
And Bryan Bellar on bass what more could you ask for?Great Jam! Amazing musicians!

I have seen all 3 separately but, I could watch these guys jam all day. What a collection of Master Guitarists. Thanks for the video.
Such an epic lineup. I'm absolutely devestated that I missed this show in my home town. Thanks for posting this.

I hope there's an official recording/DVD/stream of this tour 😎

The ending… priceless 💯
Wooww😮 this amazing colaboration
I remember seeing Eric, Joe, and Steve, at the Orpheum in Boston back in 96. One of the best concerts I've ever seen. Still to this day. Phenomenal!
This is so so so damn good and Rai killin it on the vox!! Love it all!!🤘🤘🤘
Yes!👍👍👍👍
Genial tenerlos de vuelta 🎸🥁
I have never seen these guys live in person--what I would have given to have been at this gig! I have always loved them all, but have have been blown away by Vai--the more I learn his back story (with Frank and his notation) and I realize that I missed out on a little of best during his prime!
Uauhhhhhhhhhhh grandes!!!!!!!!!
They got the Aussie singing and playing keyboards. Awesome.
That’s quite the trio!
how can you not love this?? three guitar legends, who are all great friends just having fun..
😍😍😍
"Don't blow it up!" Epic! 🤣
Shredding
Great to see this Amazing 3 Gems on stage once again after a decade
Cheer’s from DUBAI UAE 🇦🇪
Got my tickets!
😮❤❤joe its so good
I'm seeing them in Fresno a week from today!
Incadincadododo❤
How did I miss this???! I've lived in Tucson my whole life. 😅
🎸🎸🎸✌️🤟👍
I remember going to concert with my brothers to see Joe Satriani w/ Eric Johnson in the late 80s. I love it! I forgot that that even t was called? 🤔
Seeing Vai use the legacy 1s again warms my heart
there was a used 2x12 Legacy Combo for sale at my local GC, regret not snatching it up because it was gone quickly.
Gods of the guitar
Good Blues ! The improvisation at the end is just totally Steve ! And their both harmonisation.
Masters Rock is here. Respect.
This one goes to Joe 💥
❤
Jebote, kakva ekipa.........volio bih biti na ovakvom koncertu
Sure hope they're shooting for a blu-ray of this tour. Its as close as us East Coasters are gonna get.
เป็นแสดงความเคารพที่สวยงาม พวกเขา ไหว้ กันเหมือนคนไทย.🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭
TOP 3!
💪
Fire the sound man😅 poor Eric...buried.
Brutal
No Keneally this time around? He was friggin incredible in 96! So glad you guys did this, wish you’d come by Buffalo
Simplemente los mejores de 3G!...👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Steve was terrific in the movie "Crossroads". "Cuttin' heads."
We are at the crossroads and the universe forevermore

Hope someone posts a tune where one of them does something
I'm a huge fan however they sound like amateurs. My friend sent me a video from the LA show last night of THIS song and it was horrendous... Wtf?
@@ArmandoTheGym I listened for the second again right now. I think the problem was in part me. I'm so used to hearing exotic scales and shredding from these guys. And, also some tunes are better played mostly straight.

Mr Bryan on bass !! 🎉🎉
Eric so under rated
Unfair volumes 😢😢😢 doesnt give justice
The Legacy is sounding killer! Steve have to back use the Legacy again, the best tone ❤
and dyed his hair brown for the tour ; )
Beautiful Vais ending feedback and tremolo bar wacking😎👍
Man! Joe and Steve both have those Indian influences going on and are so in synch with each other.
I would love to see this reunion, but they aren't playing any of the G3 shows in my area. However I am going to see Satch & Vai in April, so I guess two outta three ain't bad. 😁
I JUST got back from the awesome 'Vegas show, and have front row to the Satriani/Vai show in Houston in May. WooHoo!
That's what I learned from Meatloaf.

the DiMarzio Utopia are actually not THAT high output, compared to EMGs, etc. But I agree with your point.

Yeah Eric is my fav of the bunch. Turn him up!
G3 was legendary in 2005
I love Eric's tune....it's so fuckin' good!
The Cable, i was thiinking the same thing, i have an older skinny , ready for a new one. oN with the show. F yaHHH
Vai doesn't have ANY blues sensibilities whatsoever, kinda weird that they chose to play this song.
Blues is about restraint, not speed.
Steve and Eric get aged while Joe remains the same. Superb performance!
Eric has a few years on both of them and he suffers with severe tinnitus.
Maybe Joe is a carnivore.

Was there no soundcheck?
Fox show ripped! Thanks guys.
Is that Bryan Beller on the bass? Going to see them in Reno next week. Would be cool to see Beller there too!
yes it is.
I JUST got back from the 'Vegas show, you'll enjoy it!
he'll be there. have you heard his band the Aristocrats? tightest 3 piece I've ever heard..and I'm a huge Rush fan. ua-cam.com/video/QPtOkHi4F2U/v-deo.html
Yes, and I don't understand why his bass is always so muddy and indecipherable when he plays with Satriani, he deserves so much better.
if I'm not mistaken the Bassist is from The Aristrocrats band and keyboards from Knower band.
Correct.
Yeah that's Brian Beller on Bass, and I don't know who the drummer and keyboardists are.
@@efrankphdDrummer is Kenny Aronoff...longtime John Mellenkamp drummer.
@@efrankphd Keyboardist and vocalist singing that number is Rai Thistlethwayte .
If I paid $100 and these guys started playing Crossroads, I would spit out my drink.
You can hear a bar band play it better for free.
Spit out your soy latte mocha-frappachino you mean, little beta?
Agree, that song is so overdone.
They close with sweet home chicago
Vai o mago da guitarra, Satriani o allien da guitarra e Eric o racional da guitarra
