    awesome guitar playing

    Excellent recording, great camerawork - it feels like you're there in the concert hall.

    Steve Vai is probably the best exponent of the Van Halen school of extremely fast rock guitar playing - his technique is exemplary, and he's been one of the most technically inventive players in the world.

    Where it sometimes falls down is in the music itself - the melodies and riffs aren't that memorable, and the technique tends to dominate.

    Having said that, this is unbelievably good !

    Also check out Steve Lukather's Los Lobotomys DVD - better songs, less technical acrobatics, but great nonetheless.

    Steve Vai in concert

    As you would expect, Steve Vai doing what he does best. If you like instrumetal, widdly guitar stuff, then watch. Very technical, polished guitaring.
