Think of this as the live album from the Frank Zappa United States Tour 1980 that should have been made. Compiled by JWB from uploads by Drew51, Erroneous, LudzNL, Yojimbo & flambay at http://www.zappateers.com. I really enjoyed this show, every song was picked by JWB by determining which performances he liked and had what he thought was a great performance by drummer Vinnie Colaiuta who he felt made the band great that tour. They also had to be unreleased. JWB's notes are included in the download.

Notes:
The recording from Fantasy Studios is a great sounding broadcast recording. The recording of the unknown G3 show is a passable audience recording at best. The bass is a muddy throb the lead guitar is hearable. I say listen to that part once but turn up the volume on the first nine tracks!

I have had a few people ask if I have any Joe Satriani shows. I don't have a lot but I figured I should answer the requests!

justdave's notes:
I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Gold wave to re-edit some track marks and adjust the volume. No EQ or noise reduction was used.

Keeping with the theme of half of our last posts..here is another guitar hero. Steve Vai got his first job in the business transcribing Frank Zappa music which would ultimately end up as The Complete Frank Zappa Guitar Book. This was while still attending The Berklee College For Music. He played with Graham Bonnet's Alcatrazz,  He played with David Lee Roth from 1985-1989. He replaced Adrian Vandanberg for Whitesnake's Slip Of The Tongue album and tour, and has released many critically acclaimed solo albums. Today's Heavy Metal scene is full of guitar players who have been influenced by Steve Vai.

Awesome show with guitar master Steve Vai leading his band through one killer performance after another. The show culminates with Steve Vai and Eric Sardinas trading licks on a fiery rendition of  "The Attitude Song". Steve and Eric not only trade licks but take turns fretting each others guitars while the other plays, playing while the other frets, slapping each others guitar neck and all kinds of guitar acrobatics that just have to be heard.

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.
