I don't know who he is but one thing is certain. He has to be one of the quickest and cleanest drummers of the modern era. I've been playing drums for years and I can't even get close to his level much less be able to play an entire concert after that. Definitely top flight!
@@doc215 Jeremy Colson is the drummer. He still plays with Steve Vai. I just interviewed him on my podcast. I also recorded a song with the bassist in this video, Billy Sheehan.
It's like Steve and Billy were born to play together. The greatest on the Bass and the greatest on the guitar. WOW !!!!! Steve Vai has a new solo album coming out this month if I'm not mistaken.
I have this DVD. Years ago I played this clip for some non-guitar friends. They flipped at the scene where they cross play each others axes. Plus, the mix is great on a big stereo.
What makes Steve Vai amazing is not only his music but his stage performance and body language, this guy just fucking loves putting on shows and playing amazing music.
Are you kidding me!!?? What stage presence, seriously he acts like a blonde-attention-seeking b@@ch all the time... And I hate when he invites other musicians to play with him when he literally takes the stage without letting them play. Give me a break. He may be good, but he also acts like a freaking diva more times than I can count.
6:20 Vai is now in entering the zone. Can't believe quite how good this is sounding for a live gig. 6:29 Vai now takes us to a completely different multiverse by executing a perfect godlike double finger tap run like no body else's business. This is my favourite part. The whole band hit that transition perfectly.
This is the type of musical upload that you'll look up & say to your kids come & watch this: " As This Is Real Talent " But alas not many of the youth I know either play an instrument or listen to music like i/we did... As long as us old timers keep playing music so it , at least gets , past on to the next generation then , I think , that all I can ask & I'll be happy to seeing music in all the various genres being played to fresh young ears as we can't let music to whither away a slow death... Yet another amazing show of musicianship/respect/knowledge of their craft & just loving what they are doing & we need more of this in such trying difficult times... In light of this still ongoing coronavirus stay safe and healthy wherever you are in this world... Respect & Love Slainte .....
This took my breath away. I'm a guitarist, already a fan of Vai's and Sheehan's, and I've seen it all. Not saying I'm the greatest or anything. Just I've seen it all. This took my breath away, and I can't recall the last time a piece of guitar heavy music did that. They were on another level. I'm going to return to this performance a lot.
Steve is innovative in alot of aspects of music....I really like the Carvin amps....my first 4-12 cabinet was a carvin...sounded awesome and was more durable than a marshall that cost 3 times more...
The audience didn't match the energy. Its a one in a million performance happening in front of them and they're just standing there smiling. Lol steve really made the guitar cry. LEGEND
What a ridiculously brilliant man. Jimi would of loved seeing what he amongst others inspired. What amazing musicians he pulls together. Faaaaaark who's the dude with the cap jamming?!!
Holy cow. Preeminent hard rock band of it's time. The guitar duel,.wow, the other guitarist fricking wailed and then jumped on the keyboard. What a show. What talent.
Какие тембры Стив извлекает из гитары... Как чисто... Какая культура звука... Какой артистизм и единение с инструментом. Потрясающе и непревзойденно! Просто лучшее, что может быть. Космос!
words can't describe this guy's talant. I thought the original was good. I wish I could get to this standard. iv been playing scratch guitar for years and I can't even get close.
Ok, ok this guitar players are amazing yeah, but no one says something about the drummer.. he was did an amazing job, too.. by the way, does anybody know his name?
It's hard to explain if you don't play guitar but basically he is playing the chord in the bottom 3 strings; since he was going to play a lick further down the neck, he felt the necessity to move the chord for purposes of speed! to move a note up a string you have to (usually) walk 2 1/2 steps in the neck.Therefore, the second position shown is the same chord.

Still watching this performance 20 years later!!!!
This is prime vai. So glad to have met this man many times. One cocky sob but you can see why!
On DVD 😅
With all these talented guitar players on state dont forget how the drummer sets a very solid foundation for all of them. This was fantastic.
I don't know who he is but one thing is certain. He has to be one of the quickest and cleanest drummers of the modern era. I've been playing drums for years and I can't even get close to his level much less be able to play an entire concert after that. Definitely top flight!
@@doc215 jeremy colson name drum
@@altrn0 , good to know. Thanks.
@@doc215 Jeremy Colson is the drummer. He still plays with Steve Vai. I just interviewed him on my podcast. I also recorded a song with the bassist in this video, Billy Sheehan.
One of the most "hype vibe" Music performances ever. They were full throttle through every single second of the performance
i love seeing Billy Sheehan play with Steve. his over-the-top energy suits so well.
No joke. Him and Vai opening their set w/ SHY BOY for the 2001 G3 tour was massively amazing!
When he starts and most of the crowd is just staring while the one Chick is GETTING IT gets me everytime.
I can't help but to smile *each and every time* I watch this. Unbelievably cool!!!!!!
It's like Steve and Billy were born to play together. The greatest on the Bass and the greatest on the guitar. WOW !!!!!

This performance needs so many more views! The world needs to see amazing music like this!
What makes Steve Vai amazing is not only his music but his stage performance and body language, this guy just fucking loves putting on shows and playing amazing music.
the same way as I loved Sykes!
And fucking OVERRATED! Mcalpine is equally great but underreported as FUCK!
I meant TM is underrated!
Are you kidding me!!?? What stage presence, seriously he acts like a blonde-attention-seeking b@@ch all the time...

@@ot8479 🤣
God bless Tony MacAlpine, the half guitar keyboard man
He's really underrated 😔
@@losferjigglypuff7017 that's complete BS!
As good as vai
@@albertdavila6808 he's better...and he also can play piano like a god. Though, I've never heard him play on an acoustic/classical guitar
I love his music.
I still listen to The Edge of Insanity and Maximum Security. He's a bad ass. I think he came up through Mike Varney/Shrapnel Records
0:13 drummer is just right in the pocket, powerful, precise, accurate without overdoing it.
I am truly in awe of Vai and his group. Truly as Yael said...8 minutes of heaven
3:30 that moment when your performance achieves such mastery that it travels back in time to inspire Mozart's favorite chord progressions
I don't know about everyone on stage, but Steve Vai and Tony MacAlpine are classically trained in music theory and composition
lol Tony can play Chopin with ease
@@antzooma Yep. Before he became known for his guitar skills, he was winning contests with his piano playing... including Chopin pieces.
They went full on classical crescendo right there! Fucking awesome!
if you've never seen this watch it!!! all the musicians are unreal!!! one of my favorite vids!!!
Ok!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Greatest performance of the entire festival.
i love the bass solo :)
The amount energy they put on this is great for daytime performance
The description perfectly sums up this video.
One of my all-time favorite performances by some of my favorite artists. I always come back to this video!
Can't explain how hard this song hit my cat and myself this music is more than wonderful
steve's wind machine working extra hard
Some say it's his greatest fan.
6:24,Tony McAlpine, How it's possible? Mind blowing!
Yeah he is multi-talented, legato one arm on fretboard then transitions and plays the whole tapping part on the keyboard. Insane talent.
I've never seen such a great guitarist. The groove feeling of this song is very fascinating
He's not only a excelent guitar player and composer. He's a fucking showman
Not only is the guitar playing incredible but that drumming is really punchy & tight!
This is one of the most original things i've ever seen.
6:20 Vai is now in entering the zone. Can't believe quite how good this is sounding for a live gig.
6:29 Vai now takes us to a completely different multiverse by executing a perfect godlike double finger tap run like no body else's business. This is my favourite part. The whole band hit that transition perfectly.
That’s a pretty sick drummer.
Great lineup there... And just killing it. Brilliant
I have been returning to this video for over 10 years whenever I need some serotonin
This is one of my top 5 guitar performances ever!
What can i say?! Hmmm sound of excitement from exciting musicians,they are great isnt it?!!
I reckon they’re all as good as each other. Never heard a bass played like that before either
Just about all on the stage are incredible!

That guy's my favorite drummer, watch Steve's dvd from Minnesota with Anne Marie Calhoun, one of the greatest concerts ever.
this keeps showing up in my feed. it's the one video i watch every single time it does.
I keep coming back for the rock god facial expressions.
The song and the musicianship is pretty darn effin fantastically good too.
Like it was yesterday... 😌 ... How I miss this lineups
Drummer is KILLIN👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾! Oops, had to add to my comment! Everybody on that stage is KILLIN😷👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
This G3 version of Vai back in 2000s is how I started to discover Tony MacAlpine. Amazing player of his own.
Incredible.
All these guys are just killing it!
Steve is a Maverick
I remember the tour!
They have also been in Germany 🇩🇪
Great show👍
This took my breath away. I'm a guitarist, already a fan of Vai's and Sheehan's, and I've seen it all. Not saying I'm the greatest or anything. Just I've seen it all. This took my breath away, and I can't recall the last time a piece of guitar heavy music did that. They were on another level. I'm going to return to this performance a lot.
Making weird noises with the whammy bar takes your breath away? 🤣
@@chrisking6695 No not the whammy bar. I said nothing of the sort. I too have Floyd Rose guitars. THE PLAYING.
Is there anything not amazing with this band? Freaks! 🤘
If this perform were in Brazil, the audience propably answered with crazy jumps and screaming as loud as the guitar cry!
Wow amazing
BEYOND GREAT!
Thanks for uploading this. Have it on DVD, but I hate having to slip the disc in to watch it.
Now this is RAWK guitar!Love that f**kin' drummer too!
8 minutes in heaven indeed! ✨✨✨
Steve is innovative in alot of aspects of music....I really like the Carvin amps....my first 4-12 cabinet was a carvin...sounded awesome and was more durable than a marshall that cost 3 times more...
Love me some VAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm here for Billy. The whole performance is great too.
GOOD JOB, COOL, AND PERFECT 👏😎🤘💣🤘
Absolutely in the pocket. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Gotta say I enjoyed that freakish display of shred
I'll never get tired of this video. I fucking love the bass solo
I've seen this drummer a few times. His name is Jeremy Colson. He's a Badass.
The audience didn't match the energy. Its a one in a million performance happening in front of them and they're just standing there smiling.
Lol steve really made the guitar cry. LEGEND
Crazy good stuff
Blin Vai is alien.. blows my mind everytime
Insane great !
the Best gods of the músic
Awesome !
a god among guitar players

Good video..good guitar Players.. always succes for you....i from Indonesia
That was a great weekend. I met Eric Clapton and he thanked "us" ( Vince Gill and Band) for coming out.
MAESTROS DE MAESTROS...!!!
ES COMO UN SUEÑO VERLOS TOCAR...
funny enaugh he was originaly teached by joe satriani, without him, we wouldnt have steve as we know him today
What a ridiculously brilliant man. Jimi would of loved seeing what he amongst others inspired.
What amazing musicians he pulls together.
Faaaaaark who's the dude with the cap jamming?!!
Tony MacAlpine. He's a brilliant guitar who makes music in the same vein as Vai and Satriani. He was from the same era of shredders.
Vai spielt mit Hirn und Herz. Ein Musiker, der als Teamplayer in Erscheinung tritt.
Holy cow. Preeminent hard rock band of it's time.
The guitar duel,.wow, the other guitarist fricking wailed and then jumped on the keyboard. What a show. What talent.
That's Tony MacAlpine. He's a brilliant guitarist too.
and the guitars were still in tune after this gig :-D
Okay, dis show here... dis right here, show dey jesss played here... dis here's an OVERLOAD!!!
Kicking ass in the rock scene
Wherever Steve Van is there is a wind blowing a gale just him . When’s he’s buying a burger the wind is there
ROMPAN TODOS AHORA GUITARRAS DE FUEGO MANOS MAGICAS MUSICA SEÑORES APLAUDAN
Kick-ass band! 😎
Incredible!
unbeliveble
Eight minutes in heaven indeed.

This was awesome and damn Billy! Kickin It bro! But you always have.

It's hard to explain if you don't play guitar but basically he is playing the chord in the bottom 3 strings; since he was going to play a lick further down the neck, he felt the necessity to move the chord for purposes of speed! to move a note up a string you have to (usually) walk 2 1/2 steps in the neck.Therefore, the second position shown is the same chord.
Hoooooo weeeeeeee! That was awesome!
