Considering he did this for his dad he laid it all out ,opened up that heart & it just flowed out of him, as is the case each time he goes to this one song. Of of today's best players he never holds back. This is not so much depression but love soul & the memories he had with his father. Sad but a moving expression of just how good Joe is .
@@lestervai Do you just want to see him say it just because or do you disbelieve that Steva Vai would say that? I mean... Steve Vai was taught by Satch, after all...
cant believe i saw joe in my home city of liverpool!it was one of the best nights of my life an best night certainly in liverpool!and the philarmonic was rockin !met him in manchester in 2000 an he signed me mates silver ibanez too!fkn amazin
What makes Satch's playing so unique is the ability to modulate and coax the tone into cries, wails and those sustaining climaxes . His mastery over tones, with the whammy, volume swells and pinch harmonics call for some serious applause
This song does actually make you want to cry. All him soloing. You can just see from his face and body language how much feeling he puts into this. Really amazing.
When Joe plays he plays for his fans but when it comes to this song he plays it for his Dad & it's not hard to see & feel the emotion pour out & why he doesn't smile when the song is over . I've lost both my parents & even at 67 i still that feeling of being an orphan as it is what you become when you lose your parents. How he got Guthrie Govan's band to back him i don't know but wow that's one magical two super talented players.
Wow, dude. Don't know where you live, but soooo get to see Satch again. It's one of the most important things on your "bucket list." Peace from Cape Cod, MA. See him in 2014...somewhere....some how!
Cindy Smith I'm from Ireland and currently live in Scotland. I saw him in NYC when I was 14. Could've seen him earlier this year, but I was a bit out of the loop at the time. He probably won't be back here again til his next album.
Paul McCartney does play bass guitar after all and "regular" guitar as well. Does not one say something more along the lines of, e.g., he is the Tiger Woods of guitar playing or Michael Jordan of guitar playing? :-)
Joe is the most virtuoso emotion translator over guitar. Then come the rest . With Pink Floyd in the lower complexity spectra(gilmour plays easy stuff but so powerful and emotional and perfect) he hits hard on emotionality .
Amazing and touching as always (dying to see him already !!) . However, his performance for that piece live in paris in 2008 is much better in my opinion (I think he was back then at its best). See it and judge by yourself
He once in an interview, stated that " people think its a sad song& he doesn't wanna ruin it for them( us the lovers of his music) , so i f ANYONE knows the background on it, can you please share, cuz yeah to me it sounds like an amazingly beautiful emotional song, am I right guys??! JOE SATRIANI your have always been& are still the VERY best of them all ❤❤😍😀😘thanks for all the wonderful songs&memories!!! GOD bless you😎💖😊
There are so much good Guitarist out there, even better than Joe. They can even do what Joe's do, faster than Joe. But, there is none like him who can wrote a Melodious song. Even the Angels will feel the Melodic of his song(s).
