About
JOE SATRIANI IN CONCERT:
Joe Satriani’s virtuoso guitar playing is more than just flawless technique and blistering speed -- he also forms an emotional connection with fans that is beyond words. His genuine love of riff-based rock ensures that audiences are in for a sonic thrill ride at his live shows, where his nimble fingers and finely tuned ear bring his ballads to life. While “Satch” (as friends and fans refer to him) turns melodies inside out and shreds up a storm, his cast of astounding supporting musicians keeps the grooves solidly rocking throughout six-string stunners like “Surfing with the Alien”, “Satch Boogie”, and “Flying in a Blue Dream”. Ticket buyers are in for a transcendent instrumental experience that can't be beat, featuring a brilliant musician in impeccable form.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
The highest-selling instrumental rock guitarist of all time, Joe Satriani was born in Westbury, NY in 1956. Before he gained fame, Satch made a living teaching some of the most influential guitarists of the ‘80s, including Kirk Hammett (Metallica), Steve Vai (David Lee Roth), and Larry LaLonde (Primus). His solo career took off with the hits “Always with Me, Always with You” and “Satch Boogie” off his 1987 album Surfing with the Alien. He kept his hot streak alive with his next two albums Flying in a Blue Dream (1988) and The Extremist (1992), which both went gold. In 1996 Satriani started the G3 Tour with friends Steve Vai and Eric Johnson to bring instrumental guitar music to the masses. In 2008 Satch joined forces with former Van Halen members Sammy Hagar (vocals), Michael Anthony (bass), and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith to create the supergroup Chickenfoot. While those projects keep him crazy busy, Satriani still continues to tour -- bringing venues like Warner Theatre to capacity -- and record as a solo artist, releasing Unstoppable Momentum in 2013.

by KISSDAVE on 5/12/24Paramount Theatre - DenverFabulous show. Joe never disappoints. His student Steve Vai takes the guitar soaring to other levels. They did Enter Sandman and You Really Got Me for encores. Super! And I got a drumstick from the amazing Kenny Aronoff.

by Beth on 5/10/24Paramount Theatre - DenverThere are no words, superlatives, or accolades that can describe how masterful these two are on the guitar. There are very few musicians that I will purchase a ticket to see; and these two gentlemen are worth the price! To see these two musicians together has been a dream fulfilled.

by The Abominable One on 5/10/24Paramount Theatre - DenverThey're still the very best in live guitar performance! I follow a lot of younger guitar forward touring acts, but none of them can match the energy and showmanship of Joe and Steve.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Worth every penny
by Kidd on 5/10/24Paramount Theatre - DenverThese guys are certainly in the top 10 of active guitar players I am aware of today. I have been a fan of both Joe and Steve for decades. There is a reason Joe is a teacher. The guy is just simply amazing and makes it look so effortless. Steve.. what can you say??? How it gets those tones and wild squeals out of that axe is beyond me. I will go see them again. Without a doubt. WORTH EVERY PENNY!!

Rating: 2 out of 5 Disengaged and Monotonous Performance
by DS303 on 5/10/24Paramount Theatre - DenverProbably one of the oddest shows I've attended. The audience was 90% male and for the majority of the show everyone remained in their seats. The songs all sounded the same and it seemed like he was rushing to get through the set list.

by Brett on 5/10/24713 Music Hall - HoustonThe boys were definitely on it Sunday evening at the POST Houston/713 Music Hall. Show was fantastic. Venue was impressive acoustically and well designed apart from the chairs on the main floor. These reminded me of kindergarten in both size and comfort level. Not even the 95lb girl who sat nearby could fit on them! Thankfully they were not linked together or bolted down so we could space them out better but don’t tell the fire marshall about that.
