Flying in a Blue Dream...May 17th Bangalore!
Who else but Joe Satriani!
Magic is one word which came to mind...the speed...the skill...the inextinguisable energy of the man...he just kept going on and on and on...he sipped some water just twice...and thats the maximum break he took. Amazing...one cant help but admire him for his sheer dedication and enthu! :)
He thrived on the crowd...and the crowd thrived on him...it was a mutually beneficial relationship. :) whenever he went pretty high with his notes he let go of the guitar for a moment and egged the crowd on...the left, the right, the center...totally inspired crowdmanship! :) And unlike other concerts, it was all him...and only him...there was a bassist, a rhythm guitarist and of course the drummer...but satriani could have still done it all solo without any accompaniments! Infact, he did play a solo...
He sang twice...and spoke a lot...he mentioned about how cool this country is and how he would love to come back again... :) He was smiling much and one could see that he was enjoying every bit of it.
The crowd surprised some pros like Vijay (the biggest fan of joe sat)...with their knowledge and subsequent enthu...of course, the crowd had to be "niche". It was quite obvious when we entered palace grounds that this was no ordinarycrowd... :) Everyone had a good time except probably Brahma...who got majorly boo'ed of the stage with the sounds screwups...poor dudes were bad losers as well...they just played 4 of their own songs and stalkedoff...atleast they could have played some metallica to pacify the crowd...but no! Who cares about them anyway...when the legend walked on the stage, the electricity was amazing...applause resounding...most of the junta shouted their throat hoarse. and amazingly, many could follow him note by note throught the 3 hours he played...not easy folks!
The money was worth it! :)
Unfortunately the 1000 and 500 guys would have got screwed...cos the big screens were put up only midway through the concert...too bad. The organisers decided to have a kit-kat and take a break...the idiots. It was not professional at all! haphazard....untimely....techinically random...and not a pleasant experience for the crowd. i hope they treated Joe better...cos we would wanna see him again, dont we? ;)
Anyways, inspite of all this, Joe was a huge success.
Cos it was Joe Satch...and thats his name!
