Nice sounding but short recording of Steve's appearance at the Rock Around the Bay Festival in Japan. Steve and Co. pull out all the stops and make this a very enjoyable show. My only wish is to hear the rest of the show.
Steve Vai started playing guitar at the age of 13, taking lessons from none other than Joe Satriani. He attended Berklee College of Music, recording a promo for the school that said he would audition for Frank Zappa at age 20. Steve sent Zappa a transcription of the Mothers' song "My Black Page" along with a tape of his guitar playing. Frank hired Steve to transcribe his guitar solos on Joe's Garage & Shut Up & Play Your Guitar for the Frank Zappa book, The Frank Zappa Guitar Book.
Vai served an internship, if you will, with Frank's band from 1980 to 1982. After leaving Zappa he released his first solo LP Flex-Able, then replaced Yngwie Malmsteen in Graham Bonet's Alcatrazz.
From Alcatrazz, Vai moved on to David Lee Roth's Band recording with him what most fans regard as Roth's best solo LP's. From there he moved to John Lydon's Public Image Limited, then to Whitesnake, which was largely regarded as a mismatched waste of Vai's talent.
Vai moved on to a very respectable solo career, winning 11 Grammy Awards in 10 years. Vai has also consistently made the lists of top guitar players in every respected magazine in the field - topping many fanzine lists to boot.
