Private Concert - G4 2017 Joe Satriani, Phil Collen, Paul Gilbert playing "Superstition" 

two thumbs up for the bass player who played the same note for 10 minutes and didn't fall asleep

When Gilbert solos it's like he's telling a story.

Paul Gilbert having the time of his life

Who would ever of thought PG would be the tasty lick guy rather than the out and out shred monster. Times change.

I love watching Paul Gilbert play and then watch others play - he's like a kid and such a fan of great music and players.

Paul Gilbert is the man! He's like talking to someone! He is crazy amazing!! 👏👏👏

Paul could go on for days and still won’t sound boring

This really shows off Phil’s creativity with his playing the licks he’s playing are incredible

seeing paul playing guitar always make me smile.. what a great teacher, humble man, and godly guitar player

Phil Collen finally broke down and bought a shirt.

Paul Gilbert is a goofy, joyous player and that's damn high praise. What a musician and what an original.

Satch was a huge part of my childhood music experience, Collen too to a lesser extent. Paul Gilbert is the player I aspire to be. Dude is just from another world.

Gilbert goes for the magic everytime he plays

Satriani's note selection was brilliant, paul and phil just nailed on their solos

I just love Paul! He is the man! Down to earth. Never has to show off. No Arrogance, just having fun....

Paul just comes sizzling through the mix. Killer tone - killer chops. He didn't overcook the shred either.

Music in an exploration not a competition.

"I really can't do anything else.I was made for this" -Paul Gilbert.

Man, PG is full of nasty licks man

How come no one mentioned that Phil has a great voice? I loved his singing

Paul Gilbert such a clean sounding precise player. Wow !!

Gilbert is really pulling out some gold these last few years. He’s the only one on stage that played a tone and style appropriate lead for the context.

Paul Gilbert is fucking amazing!

Three very different guitarists - all brilliant in their field... but JESUS - Paul Gilbert is Pure Gold!!!

Paul Gilbert is a Monster !!!

All phenomenal guitarists, but ya gotta love Paul Gilbert for throwing in the way out riffs that had Joe smiling!

Paul Gilbert the master

First time I have seen Phil Collen with his shirt on!

These three legends should tour as a side band, the chemistry is so obvious. One finds themselves tapping their feet a bit at first, and then you just immerse yourself into the doodling magic and you're tap tap tapping..

WOW. First of all, I didn't know Phil Collen could hold his own with players of such high caliber, but this guy can shred! Good singer, too. Mad props to him. Joe Satriani has made some of the greatest, most mind-blowing guitar music of the past two or three decades. Always has been one of my favorites and a master to measure others by. I know this wasn't a competition, but... Paul Gilbert for the win? From his phrasing, to his timing, just the way he listens to what's going on around him and of course his amazing technique, and soul, and humor...just spectacular! A joy to watch these guys play and have fun together. Grinning from ear-to-ear. Thank you for posting it!!

its nice seeing two virtuosos sharing a stage with good blues rock player like phil

just Watch Paul and his feet. They're even tapping in rhythm with the drums. He's on a whole different level. Best living guitarist in the world

Of course PG is dressed like just came from the Home Depot. Sucha sweet heart and gift to budding guitar players!

Man I just love Paul Gilberts energy . One of the coolest shredders out there. All these guys are awesome.

thanks god i saw def leppard in argentina 2017 and mr big in 2017 in argentina, super great bands!! def leppard i am biggest fan, an mr big they are amazing bands playing alive!!

Wow this is why I'm grateful for RU-vid. Get to see so many great bands and these kinda jams .

I have always been amazed by Gilbert when he just relaxes and does what he does.

Paul Gilberts guitar tone is the best....

Damn PG has a great feeling and the way he plays with rhytm

Great stuff. 3 of my fave guitar-players. Thanks for sharing!

PG now playing those wonderful fusion style lick of his he got learning jazz...nice!!

Man I wish I could've been there to witness this in person!! All 3 are so damn good and bring their own unique style into the song. I love how Joe can bring such great musicians together to give the world music performance like this!!

Everybody is praising PG here but for me it's satriani... So polished, technical and melodic at the same time

The most single notes the bassist ever played in his life?

Paul is never lost on the neck. Always lands on the perfect note.

amazing guitar skills from all 3! different styles yet they blended well!

Found myself smiling like a madman watching this, now that’s the power of great musicians all having fun, no egos up there

3 of my favorite guitar players of all time on one stage. mind blowing! love them all 🤘

Lol that picking accuracy tho, Paul nailed every note with ridiculous clarity.

Whatever people say about Phil, Im still his fan. I never get in tune with pop metal until heard Def Leppard and realize how they influences some of 80 rock band sounds

Love this!! & what a cool mix of sounds and styles plus the fact they are all having a great time with this classic track makes it all the more enjoyable to watch.

Just a Beautiful Journey Thanks God we Have these Masterpiece in a Video and thanks to you for Sharing....

Great guitar conversation 👍😁 Each of them is unique. Love Paul's tone here. 👍😁

I had a blast with this vid :) These guys are ALL amazing. Thank you.

I'm so happy to see all the love and recognition for Paul Gilbert over the last few years. He was always up there with Vai or Satriani but always was given a back seat to them which I found a shame. He never got the level of success and notoriety they did back in the day, but he's gleaming in the sunlight these days.

They are 3 leyends of the guitar & the rock 🎸🎸🎸🎶🎵 music forever & ever♾️✨🙌🏼🤲🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️. Total thanks for your exquisite art 🎸🎸🎸✨✨✨.

Being there myself also I can say Paul Gilbert is amazing and fun.

Once I watched the clip, and read the comments, I felt a bit upset about Phil Collen because of the lack of people mentioning him, which reveals quite a lot of the watchers think that he is not at the same level as Satch or Gilbert. For those that could consider that way, let me provide you a slightly different point of view: I cannot be sure about this, but perhaps I could be right if I say that Phil Collen thinks and feels [regarding himself] as a band musician (and he has been a band musician for a while...), and that's why he does not play the guitar-divo-frontman role as fine. But you can take for granted that if he is in the show, the other two G3's are sure about they can rely on Phil's abilities not to be just another "simple addition" on stage. So, in spite of so many people opinions, there is an undeniable fact: he has already had recognition from JS and PG, and it should mean something for any rock guitar fan. (I must confess that there is another reason, apart from their outstanding and enjoyable music, for me to love Def Leppard: they tend to prioritize their mates over their success. This way of undersanding their career deserves all my respect and admiration)

Ooh I would have slipped in the Attitude song and sunshine of my love over that beat. Thanks for upload.

I love Paul Gilbert love love love his playing that's maturity ..wow 👏👏🙌🏻🙌🏻

PG for superb tone, variety, and being able to stun Satch into playing AC/DC Satch for the high-string virtuosity, and jumping in with AC/DC Phil for the balls to hang in there with them, sing Stevie Wonder, and an epic dive-bomb

So many comments about this being some sort of competition... I'm sure the last thing on the 3 musicians minds was "how can I be the best player on stage".

So much fun to watch! And all these guys are great! Gilbert is still my favorite and here’s one reason, and it’s a reason why I love Roy Clark as well: besides being such a joy to listen to they are also fun to watch! When you see how much fun they are having you just can’t help but feel it too! If either of them two couldn’t play a lick I’d still watch them play air guitar if everything else about them stayed the same!

that produced the perfect smile on my face before going to bed

the bass player standing there like "hey guys, look what I can do....bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum"

Gilbert is probably the only guitarist on this planet who plays way better now than when he was younger. He left apart most of his 80’s shredder gimmick for more rhythmic and melodic solos. Also, i was waiting for Another One Bites The Dust quote around 11:00

paul and joe are the master. phil is the student!

Love this ! Thank you !

Joe satriani so humble. Paul gilbert so lovely. And phil collen so cool. Love them all.

It really show the influence and importance of bands like AC/DC and Van Halen when their riffs are go to riffs for players of this caliber!

Two of the best to ever do it and Phil Collen!

How nice to see the difference in playing!

Man Pauls tone is perfect for this!! I’d love to see him and Guthrie jam more often

Shredding in his 60's...impressive

I was there, it rocked!

Wow so beautifull special with the touch of Joe the master 🎸🎸🎸

This is amazing seeing this now, this is from one of several jam nights at a camp at Asilomar conference center in California, where Joe hosted several great musicians for a whole week He also gave some amazing talks regarding surfing with the alien, as they were celebrating the anniversary of that release Also at the camp that week were Stuart Hamm, Jonathan Mover Warren Demartini Doug Doppler, and several others on the teaching staff I’ve been lucky enough to be a professional musician for 25 years, and I knew that if I went to this camp I was gonna learn a ton and I was absolutely right. I left incredibly inspired, and I play piano mostly! They also had Tommy Emmanuel that same week The energy vibe spirit and musicianship was simply over the top beautiful the entire week If anybody reading this is wondering about attending something like this in the future, I can’t recommend it enough it’s totally worth the money I did this instead of a vacation that year LOL Cheers everyone!

I love how PG builds around a melody its great as u get familiar with the concept but suprised you with outside notes - great player. Would hate to have to go after any of these guys.

Paul's tone is awesome, really sticks out in a good way. Nice and clean.

omg! if i have seen this like 20 years earlier, i would've cried. lol! i woudn't have imagined 2 of my favorite band's guitarists in one stage. defleppard and mr. big. hell yeah!

Phil Collen is a seriously good singer! He's a great player too but it is really rare to hear a shredder that walks up to the mic and sings a Stevie Wonder song really well. Damn fine job!

Fuck! The justified love and respect that these guys show each other genuinely moved me almost to tears. Such a fun and intriguing and talented jam! And a big shout-out to the rhythm section for keeping it all nailed to the floor. This, right here, is what music should be all about... \m/ (:o)

This is amazing

Seeing Paul Gilbert having fun while others are playing is such a joyful experience.

Paul plays as a Judge, Leader...and Moderator ... I think ... He is the Best on that Show... How he shocks me with ..Star spangled Banner ... on 08:08 ....

Joe "AMAZING" Satriani

heard paul this morning on fm radio. it was funny . love that lawn mower tune. thanks.

Wow, Paul Gilbert is the coolest!

That's pretty cool that Eminem figured out how to play guitar too.

Didn't know Phil Collin could sing that good!

Great playing and FUN!!!

Three guitar Jedi tossing licks back and forth! A pure treat

phil: "hey i can shred too, morons" paul: "ok phil" joe: "meh"

Paul gilbert is the best of the best, simply genious

Love this....absolute brilliance!!!

They are all great, but to me, Joe will always be the master!!!

Paul’s playing actually fit the song perfectly. His tone is a little too clean now a days though

Paul gilbert is so hilarious

That was pretty awesome!

This is awesome.. I like how Paul is channeling his inner 'Ellwood Blues'.. Phil's got a great voice
