WOW!! I was staying the night at the Hilton heard Joe doing a sound check and knew I needed to extend my stay so I could go to the concert. I was amazed at the kick ass show! John Petrucci was a great opener. I enjoyed Petrucci, and I felt it was obvious that he loves what he does. I thought that Steve was over the top. I could have done without all of the outfit changing and the long long long solos. Satriani you are the man. I was awed. I had never been to one of Joe's shows and I am glad that I went to this one. I got home to Oregon went out and bought all of the Satriani albums that were available at the store and I love them all. The real live deal was the best though. I look forward to seeing you the next time around. Hopefully you bring Petrucci along again.

My first and only concert an will forever be the best util you come again. I was seated in the back area for this one, but next time I would like to sit really close and see you fingers at work. Great job Joe. You have a great ear for music and you make it sound so powerful. I wish to entertain and compose music as you have done, but I need direction to further myself. I am pretty good for only playing for a two years. Well, I will be seing you at the Hilton when you return. Also, when do you return? A.J.

Hey Joe. Sorry it took so long to review the show back in April. I'll never forget it, though. I had to travel all the way from Las Vegas just to see it, because the Las Vegas show, which was three days later, was 21/over. All I can say is it was amazing. It was totally worth the trip. The first and certainly not the last, either. You are my idle Joe. I listen to your music religiously, and I just haven't found anyone better on the axe than you. You are a huge blessing to the world, and I thank God for having you. Peace out, man. Hope to see you soon.

Joe, I have already reported my feelings towards your totally awesome show. But after recieving your newsletter and entering your contest, I was forced to do it again. I was totally blown away and I appreciate your music all the way through. It is very deep and hard to decipher without thoughts like, "What was Joe thinking when he composed that masterpeace?" or "What is this song really about?" I am 16 years old and have been a fan since 1990 when I was turned on to your music by my dad. Keep up the good work and I hope to be a really good musician through your inspiration. -Paul Cataldo

You did it once again Joe, "THE SHOW LAST NIGHT WAS EXCELLENT!" Joe Satriani is absolute perfection!... Stu, on bass WOW, need I say more! Stuart Hamm, we're looking forward to your new album in July... Seeing Jeff Campitelli on drums is something you'll never forget.... and Eric Caudieux on rhythm guitar & keyboard makes this tour one of the best! The energy was felt from the young to the old. Out of the 12 people in our group, 3 have seen Joe Satriani in concert before and the other 9 are now BIG FANS OF JOE SATRIANI! You are a illustrious impression for all musicians and music lovers of the universe! The Engines of Creation Tour is a must see for everyone! Roxy

Absolutely an amazing show! I have never been to a concert this good. AND I have never heard the acoustics at a concert sound this good. Pure Power. The energy was great. If you guys haven't got tickets for this tour, get them. If you are looking for a nice little chick folk guitar show - forget it, these concerts will singe your your ear and nose hair!!

Joe, Man, what can I say? This was the 3rd time I was lucky enough to see you. I just happened to be passing through Reno, when I read your interview in the local paper. I managed to snag one of the last tickets, and ended up sitting with three total strangers way in the back. None the less it was a wild and exciting show. So sorry Stu's Bass went out during his solo... Hoping to catch you again in Atlanta. Thanks again for a wild ride!!!

Unbelievable!!! This show kicked more ass than any Joe show I've ever been to. We were right up front and I got two picks for my "diving" efforts. If you havent got tickets for this tour, don't wait! Score them NOW! Enjoy The EOC Tour 2000! Thanks Joe, hope to see you again real soon. The 'fireman' from Oregon.

It was a great show. The energy for the first half was amazing. The band looked happy to be on stage and it was fun to watch the interation between the players. I was a little surprised Joe didn't play more from Engines of Creation, but the set was great. I don't have all the albums, so there were a few songs I had never heard, which was a great surprise. The only thing I didn't like was the lack of energy for the few first songs in the second half of the show. It took a few tunes to get the energy from before the break back, but by the end, I was on my feet for every song.
