Very, very awesome. It was great being able to be right up against the stage that one could touch Joe's sacred wank bar. There were a few scuffles in the front because of drunkeness on the part of other people, but it did not draw down the concert. Opening with Flying in a Blue Dream was awesome in it's beauty, and I personally only wish that Surfin' with the Alien had been the encore, reversed with Friends for the last song of the regular set. But I can't complain. It was killer.

I was unfortunate enough to have to have not been able to attend this show. And this time it was 2-1/2 hours of pure Satch! Hopefully i get to see him next time.

I wanted to hear "Circles"! That was the only song that you didn't play that I wanted to hear!

Joe continues to be my favorite rock guitarist because of the simple fact that he can do it all! This was a very enjoyable and energy packed evening. The new stuff he did was great! Seven String! The music from Crystal Planet was superb. I think Joe was reading the setlists that people submitted for this show. He did some work from Not of this Earth! That was a treat! Thank you Joe for interacting with us in that way. The band he has on this tour is second to none. It was good to see a new line-up on tour. I know it includes Matt, Jeff, and his guit tech dude! You guys are alll #1. I can also say I was totally impressed with the fans at this show. Good support with a touch of rowdiness!

This was without a doubt THE BEST show I have EVER been to! I happened to be in the right place, at the right time at the end of the show, and met up with wonderful people who gave us back stage passes to meet Joe, Jeff, Matt, Galen and Ned (the opening act) not to mention all of the fun guys that are on the tour crew! You guys are all so amazing, thank you so much for the best time of my life! I don't think anything can ever top going to the hotel, on the bus and especially just chatting with some of the nicest people around! I sincerely mean it, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for an amazing night, and a lifetime of memories!!!! Awesome play list by the way, I am never let down! It was so much fun jamming to all of the old/new songs for 2 hours+! Congratulations on your Grammy nom. Starry Night is AMAZING! Especially live! See ya for the 5th time soon! Always a Fan, Shari V.

What an amazing show! This was the third time that I've seen Joe and this was the best show yet. The coolest thing about Joe is that he changes the set list every time he plays. Sure, you can always expect to hear songs like 'Satch Boogie' and 'Summer Song'. But it's songs like 'Midnight', 'Why', and 'Crushing Day' that make the show more enjoyable. You just never know exactly what he'll play. I think the best part of the show was when he did 'Time Machine'. I've never heard him do anything from that album, so that was awesome to hear. And it shows that he really does look at the set list we create on the website. Not that I had any doubts or anything. Anyway, wonderful show Joe. I was truly impressed as always. Also, Jeff, Matt, and Galen were awesome. Hope to see you guys sometime soon.

This is the 4th time I saw Joe Satriani, same place as the first time and it was great! Joe is probably the greatest guitar player on the planet, no joke.... and after four times of seeing his shows I finally got to meet him. What a cool guy, no celebrity attitude or anything! I only wish I could've hung around. Anyway, Joe- thanks for all the music over the years and keep it up, I can't wait to hear the next album! Dave

Wow....I must agree with all that's been said. Joe you always put on an amazing show! I haven't missed a show since the early 90's, I'm so glad you keep coming back to Albuquerque...I brought a new fan and he was blown away as I continually am by your talents. It was an EXTRA special show for me since I had backstage passes, meeting you again was a such a pleasure, it's so great to meet a true musician who appreciates his fans, very down-to-earth. Now I can frame my signed picture with my pass, ticket and pick. TOO COOL!!! Hopefully the pictures I took will come out good...disposable cameras can be unpredictable, but I will try posting them soon.

Thanx again for another fantastic show...I look forward to the next one. Peace~ Linda :D

Amazing show. This is the second time that i had seen Joe, (the first time being last August). This was exponentally better than that performance. The Sunshine is a great place to have any concert, let alone Satriani. I was close enough to see the golden O on his oakleys. By the way, did anyone catch what his shirt said? I deciphered BI*k. I dont know the third letter. anyways amazing show, and Joe, i hope you keep the grass that i threw at you Peace

The show here in Albuquerque kicked so much ass!!! The packed house was treated to 2hrs and 20min of the Satch doing what he continues to do best. I've seen Joe perform six times now and last nights performance was among the best I've ever seen from him. He definitely played more aggressive than I've ever seen in the past. And his band is nothing short of amazing as well but last night they all out did themselves in comparison to when I saw them last August touring w/Dream Theater. Even some of the normal staples- ""Satch Boogie", "Flying In A Blue Dream", "Friends" - had some extra flair to them that I've never heard Joe play previously. Joe's ability to go from playing serene melodies ("Midnight") to full on monsterous attack ("Mind Storm") continues to always blow my mind. I would've had some great digital pictures to share with all of you if I wasn't told to go put it back in my car during Ned Evett's set (this dude was introduced by Joe and the guy came out and smoked for 40 minutes on a fretless guitar which was made of glass - amazing!!). Thanks Joe, Matt, Jim and Galen - YOU GUYS ROCKED!!!!! Thank you so much for a wonderful evening!!
