I love the way he plays these songs slightly differently each time he goes live. Just the odd section, more taps, more bends. Every one is an original. And he LOVES to play, that's so clear. Best guitarist the World will ever know.
You see, I love improvisation and it's an essential skill in a musician and of course I love it with guitarists, but there are times when a piece is composed with a certain riff, a certain melody and indeed, sometimes a certain LEAD. We all know Satch can legato his way up and down scales and modes, highlight chord changes, all that stuff. But for me, there's a very specific actual solo/lead that he played on the studio record of a piece like 'War' that I think is wholly part of the piece, it's not just 'some take', although it may have been that at the time. There are other pieces in Satch's huge catalog that I feel are much more 'free' for reinterpretation, and almost any fan would acknowledge that a piece like Cool #9, within the overall structure; is just waiting for whatever Dorian-based ideas Satch can throw at it each time he plays it live. But something like 'Crush of Love'? Nope, it has to be played as it is.
Incredible guitarist and human being was able to meet him and Eric Johnson, both on the same tour it was such an awesome day! War is my Favorite of all my faves of Satriani
@@DanielVerberne I'm two years late to the party here but just want to say I wholeheartedly agree. I was so wanting to hear the "studio" version played the same "live". 10 seconds into the heart of the "war" I was disappointed. Back to the studio version I go.
The Extremist is (for me) the best Joe's album, and one of the greatest instrumental albums ever! Joe, You're not only guitar but musical-emotional genius. Thank you.
All right, we all know and agree that Satch is a guitar god, but let's not forget his great band. They are the guys who make it possible for Joe to go crazy and come up with all these amazing tunes.
I don't understand you folks. The solo here is just an improv - don't you miss the studio version of the solo? THAT was the War solo, not some random blues solo then switching the wah-wah on for the legato part. I wish Satch would honour the recorded parts rather than fucking with them. As I've said before, there are pieces in Satch's vast repertoire like Cool #9 that totally lend themselves to an almost jazzy approach; to a free-structured, free-flowing re-interpretation of the piece within the overall Dorian-blues structure; but there's also pieces that are awesome BECAUSE of the specific part Joe laid down at recording.
Alan and Mike have really come together nicely with Jeff Joe and Galen. This is best line up. Alan attacks and gives awesome presence and sound. I have heard and love Stu and Dave. This is something different. Like Matt Bisonette on red bull. Great BAND Joe Satriani. MY favorite line up after all these years. And to think he was crying behind those sunglasses cause of his mom. My music hero. And I'm a drummer.
I love that there are no costumes, no gimmicks, no fanfare!!! Just as you see artists!!!! Joe and his band doing great music!!!!!!! i suppose the video in the background is fanfare but not so much compared to what is the norm today. Go Joe!
I remember air-guitaring that riff through all the changes to my sister and her boyfriend. They looked at me like I was a deranged dude...which I was... 😎
Joe, Now this is what we call - A kickass video ! We do not want another cartoon network - Live in Paris DVD video format. Stick to this, we all love to see your fingers at work.
I used to be a fan of Joe Satriani, too, but after he threw out his American pedals and started buying Chinese pedals, the sound completely disappeared from him, the sound became dirty and bad Since then he needs to throw out everything Chinese and get his happiness back
this is the heaviest and raunchiest i've heard Joe's songs sound live! The sound and chemistry and energy here is palpably potent!!! This is how this song deserves to be staged and experienced by us and the band. WOW ... War sounds so #$&%$%$ good here!!!!
It's just a shame it's in the wrong tuning, the effect is not the same as the studio version. Meant to be all a half step lower, which gives all the instruments a darker and quite different tone. But .....most fans don't seem to care.
Love it. Seeing this performance again, brings back some awesome memories. Going to this concert in Brussels was one of the best decisions ever, especially because I got to see the man backstage. He appears to be such a normal man and yet he blows your mind away like it's nothing.
holy shit..his best work. i'm takin the kids. the good ears love his big music. one step ahead as always joe. band is super tight. campo and joe are a force. way to stick with your drummer buddy. from drum samples to this...incredible.
The in the pocket groove that lays down a solid canvas for melodic melt your face off guitar is just mesmerizing🤘🤘🤘‼️‼️‼️And the melody of War is stellar🤲✌️🤲

I would put the Extremist and Crystal Planet right up there..
I was so glad he added War on the Saturated tour. This my favourite live version. Joe and the band are on top form. 🤘
All right, we all know and agree that Satch is a guitar god, but let's not forget his great band. They are the guys who make it possible for Joe to go crazy and come up with all these amazing tunes.
OMG.. this keyboard line changed the game.
Jeff Campitelli is one of my favourite drummers....I just love his whole sound, and his drum parts work perfectly with Joes awesome guitar work :p
Joe has called him the human metronome.
He fits Joes style perfectly. Love it !!
Jeff is a perfect fit.
Love this band.
The best of all Guitarist!!.
the riff at 1:59 is the grooviest ever composed ...
key change?
Top je
Joe is from another planet and I’m not sure what planet but I bet they all play guitar. The greatest without a doubt
👽🎸🎶
The best musician, and person. Satriani is amazing.
Satch is one of most talented guitarists on the planet. He always plays amazingly and gets incredible tones.
That keyboard player really adds something.
Joe is always good.
+Icepacalypse johnson That's Mike Keneally, he's a fantastic musician!
Mike Keneally is a GOD!
2:30 wow
THAT SOLO!!! Oh my God!!! Such a Master !!
Too right!😎

A fan since Surfing with the Alien...saw him in Seattle on the Extremist tour. I'll never forget it. Legend.
Alan and Mike have really come together nicely with Jeff Joe and Galen. This is best line up.
Alan attacks and gives awesome presence and sound. I have heard and love Stu and Dave. This is something different. Like Matt Bisonette on red bull. Great BAND Joe Satriani.

Joe Is Timeless
SUPER JOE SATRIANI ............................................. INCREDIBLE !
I love that there are no costumes, no gimmicks, no fanfare!!! Just as you see artists!!!! Joe and his band doing great music!!!!!!! i suppose the video in the background is fanfare but not so much compared to what is the norm today. Go Joe!
1:58 That's the most bad-ass riff I've ever heard.
I remember air-guitaring that riff through all the changes to my sister and her boyfriend. They looked at me like I was a deranged dude...which I was... 😎

Joe, Now this is what we call - A kickass video !

El teclado con la guitarra ufffffffff 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
2:45 gives me goosebumps every time. Such a vicious riff.
It's just a shame it's in the wrong tuning, the effect is not the same as the studio version. Meant to be all a half step lower, which gives all the instruments a darker and quite different tone. But .....most fans don't seem to care.
My favorite guitar player of all times. Always amazing. Oh my God. I'm going to buy a TV 3D and a Blue Ray 3D only to watch it at home several times.
This is one of his best performances....what a Guitar GOD.
Love it. Seeing this performance again, brings back some awesome memories. Going to this concert in Brussels was one of the best decisions ever, especially because I got to see the man backstage. He appears to be such a normal man and yet he blows your mind away like it's nothing.
