Me at 15, 35 years later i still play and it kept me sane for all those years. I cant count how many times i listened to this song. It always fills me with joy.
Stayed in my walkman, my dad's Olds Ninety Eight regency for six months. Still to me Not of this Earth and Surfing best instrumetal guitar records. Ah Via Musicom and Passion and Warfare close.
There's a lot of guys that can shred, and are technically advanced but end up sounding uninspiring because they miss the point.....which is musicality. This is what Joe does so beautifully. It's like musical raindrops, raining down calmness, not just a billions notes of pointlessness. Stunning.
You nailed it with your comment. He is just having those notes come out on the guitar having been transferred from his heart to his fingertips to the fretboard to the amp to our ears. I love the fact that every performance I've seen of flying in a blue dream is the same but different. I love how Joe just plays around with certain sections.
That is gutsy to play such a tiny and intimate setting like that with just a couple of combo amps, and standing that close to your audience. There is nowhere to hide. Joe is top tier and shows us why in this video. That’s talent and courage!
What a masterpiece! Every pick, squeal, whammy, and run is articulate and clean as a whistle. His feel is just phenomenal... What a KILLER song, and what a fantastic performance here!!! Thank you for sharing this!!! ❤🔥🔥❤🔥
A guy that looks like a construction worker and an every day Joe keeping it real throughout the decades. Nobody, and I mean nobody can play guitar like Joe Satriani🎉🎉🎉
Joe Satriani, I probably listened to this track 1000 times. And have happily fallen asleep flying in a blue dream, going to bed, a 1000 more times with it. I am soooo grateful for the wonderful emotions it has brought to me! Much love, Joe!!!
Never forget how blown away I was by Surfing With The Alien and Flying In A Blue Dream....one of the greats who instructed Steve Vai and so many others.
satriani is still the absolute GOAT of instrumental guitar soloists. Even at 67 years of age playing this song virtually note perfect to the studio recorded version is just incredible.
This is a fantastic piece of music. Probably my favourite overall Satriani song. It has all the elements I like about his playing: great melody, song structure and legato.
Bro, does time machine get lost in the sauce or what? That is one of his best fucking pieces of music he ever wrote! What a goddamn Solo in that song! That's one of my favorites from him too
Desde que un amigo me recomendó escuchar a este magnífico ser ,hace más de 35 años ,es sin duda el mayor de mis placeres escuchando su música me hace muy feliz ,he tenido el gusto de verlo en directo muchas veces y me sigue sorprendiendo el sentimiento que transmite GRACIAS JOE por todo lo que me haces disfrutar ❤❤❤
My take on this cut....he's still enjoying his own stuff...genuine craftsmanship. Genuine entertainment. Thanks Joe for all your wonderful productions.
Stephen Deleon, It’s 2:05am here in Boston my Home Town and I’m Just NOW Having my Supper THRILLED 😁 TO NO END Watching This/Your Video of Satch Playing and I’m Smiling 😊🎶♥️🎶 Brother Thank You SO MUCH for These SUPERB VIDS !!! I’ve Been Following Satch Since the Very First Time I Heard “Surfing With The Alien” ! Needless to Say I Subscribed Immediately and Will be Telling the Many Many Music 🎶 ❤🎶 Lovers I Know About YOUR Channel; You RAWK ‼️‼️‼️
Flying in a Blue Dream is one of the most beautiful guitar songs you will ever hear. The album is astonishing. It's one of my favorite albums of all time. When I get a little depressed, I listen to this album in its entirety. JS is amazing.
I saw Joe with Eric opening for him. It was the Flying in a Blue Dream/ Ah Via Musicom tour. . Every note sounded sparkling new and every melody pushed the imagination deeper into the inner and outer spaces. I'd just turned 21. What a time to be young and alive!
I was a huge fan from the "Surfing" album (I was living in SoCal) forward and first saw him on the Extremist tour in Cleveland after I moved to that shithole. Since then I've seen him TONS of times, solo and with G3, even traveled to from Cleveland to Toronto to see the G3 show with Petrucci at Massey Hall (first time hearing/seeing him - now I'm a big DT fan). Saw him a bunch of times solo and with G3 in CO after that and I met Joe in '19 in a Hollyweird art gallery after buying some of his artwork. REALLY cool and humble guy (got a pic with him and later he signed my Massey Hall stub and 2 others), but sadly he didn't play. Awesome to stumble across this!
Portrait of the artist as a guitar player. On my Mt. Rushmore of rock guitarists. Still loves playing it as much as wel love listening to it after all these years. Satch 4ever.
Hoje toco guitar por que joe foi o primeiro guitarrista que fez gostar muito,solos bem limpos fácil de identificar com muitos sentimentos... ja se passaram 12 anos ainda estou aprendendo e nunca me canso de ver os videos ate hoje de joe satriani .🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
Absolutely a master 6 stringer!!! One off my top 5 guitarists 🎸 Love his Live in San Francisco album!! My favorite of hid band mate compilations! Stuart Hamm on bass, Eric Caudieux on keyboards & Rythem guitar, Jeff Campitelli on drums,AND still Joe!!😊
One of the most memorable concert I went to was seeing Satch at a small club when not of this earth album was happening. He was incredible! And still is after all these years. Go Satch!
Yeah, saw him in a smallish club in Philly on the tour for Flying in a Blue Dream and it was amazing. Broke a string on one song and just kept going with his solo. It was unbelievable.
I played this for my talent show back in 93 and this one man setup just launched back to that night. Just an unreal player. Tha ks for all the inspiration Satch.
Had the pleasure of seeing Joe in Sydney touring Surfing with the Alien way back in the 90s. I’m not a guitarist, play a bit of drums, but he was utterly mind blowing! Incredible stuff. Really great to see you still killing it 30 years later, Joe. Thanks bro.
Talk about time traveling! Flying in a blue dream was playing in my car, home and at work for months on end and I have so many fond memories of my youth. Thanks so much Joe! Been a fan since “not of this earth”
Nowadays being in your mid late 60's isn't consider old anymore it's more like middle-aged... That said some people age better than others, maybe he exercises too ? But at the end of the day spending your entire life doing what you love has a great effect on one's mind and consequently on the body too... And he's the perfect example of that...
@@Despond Absolutely...Hell, my uncle who's 91 still plays tennis several times a week... He's a guitar player too but not as good as Joe Satriani though...
Es mi mayor influencia en la guitarra desde que era muy joven , la primera vez que lo conoci fue cuando un amigo me presto el dvd del g3 en denver yo tenia como 16 años y ahorita tengo 35 parece increible que ya hayan pasado casi 20 años , aunque ya han salido muchisimos guitarristas super talentosos para mi es y seguira siendo el mejor de todos
... only Joe could achieve this sound, through a bunch of Boss pedals and two combo Marshall ... It seeems like yesterday, remembering those '90- ies, when his Flying In A Blue Dream album was the most iconic guitar instrumental album for every guitar player, for all of us ... God bless you, Master Joe ! ♥️😽🙏
So rad!!! Seeing Joe play this song in a room at his home the very same way I used to play (or try to) this song in mine, pretending I was the MAN himself all the while getting mind blown by this song and his playing! I love this!!!
What blows my mind is that Satch released this song 34 years ago, when he was 33 years old. The man is now 67 and still has the chops in those timeless hands to pull off this melodic and emotional masterpiece of guitar work. His playing is iconic and every bit as impressive today as it was when I first heard it 34 years ago. Amazing…
Thank you Joe,n gang. Beautiful. Have to go find that album again! Such fond memories raising my kids with this sonic entree'. Miss this song so much. Well done
I saw him do this song live at the Orpheum in Minneapolis back when the album released. Front row seats . This video brought me back to that night literally!!!!! Thanks for the memories Joe!!!
Notice how PRECISE he is EVEN WITH ALL THOSE NUANCES! Tell me you could play this song EXACTLY like this EVERY TIME for DECADES! Get off the toilet people this man is a GOD!
I have grown up listening to the maestro! Even now, 20 years later, He is Godly, The Great Joe Satriani 😊😊❤❤. My mind is blown every time i realize how he sets this happy yet tad serious mood with this song as if you're gazing at the horizon with dark clouds taking shape, wind blowing and then out of no where theres the Sun shining at @2:10 through the clouds and its clear skies, clear BLUE skies 😊 Master at using Modes and conveying contrasting emotions JS ❤❤
Saw you last November at the Ridgefield Playhouse Ct., you rocked the house! Thanks, heard you play this song the 1st time on Flying Tour. Never get tired of it. Thanks! Keep Rockin’
it’s super impressive how he crouches in the middle of the song to get the right feedback. Also it seems intentional he has two amps so when he’s dialing in the feedback from standing in front of one, the audience can still hear it through the second amp. what a pro!
what a freaking pro. Went to a battle of the bands in Clarksburg, WV around 1992. All heavy metal for the most part. Then this band called Ice-9 came up and they looked like the Beach Boys. Bunch of short-haired preppy-type dudes. They didn't hang their guitars low and cool either. Then they started playing and "Summer Song" was the opener. I quit laughing. Watching these videos of Joe all these years later - no other guitar player still inspires me more. I later met that lead guitarist who was working at a local music shop. He was a Berkeley grad. He sold me my first Peavey 5150 4x12 cab, helped me cobble together some other used gear and my first guitar, an Ibanez. Been playing them for thirty years now. Thanks Ken McMahon for opening my eyes to the beauty of Joe Satriani when I was 15 years old. It literally changed my life.
One of my all time favorite albums. Can't wait to (finally) see him live and it'll be twice this year: once with Vai and once with Sammy and the gang 🎉
