Steve Vai

Hellacious show!!! What a musical journey! My eyes and ears were on overload all night! THE BEST MONEY I’VE SPENT AND GOT WAY MORE THAN I PAID FOR!!! A huuuuuuggggge THANK YOU TO STEVE, JOE, THEIR BANDS (STELLAR MUSICIANS) and the OUTSTANDING CREWS who made it all happen ALL NIGHT LONG!!! Kudos to The Astro and their staff (indoors & outdoors) for bringing two of the GREATEST TO PICK UP A GUITAR and AWESOME customer service!!! A big THANK YOU LaVista Police Department for keeping everyone safe and moving the traffic flawlessly!!! THANK YOU ALL FOR A REAL GOOD TIME!!! Positive Vibrations…

Amazing, a virtuoso on the guitar. The man knows how to put on the show! Joe Satriani was also incredible in his own way, and when they played together, they blew the roof off the Palace theater! It's also great to see two amazingly talented guitarists show their respect for each other when playing together!

Steve, Joe, Eric, the guests, and the bands were totally on fire. Perhaps, one of the most incredible guitar shows out there. This was my third time seeing Joe live, and fourth -- Steve. Big fan! Enjoy hearing them every time, hope to see them again soon.

Fantastic show from Steve at the beautiful Anita’s Theatre at Thirroul. A while after booking this he announced a show at the Enmore which was considerably closer for me. However, I already had decent seats and had not been to Anita’s Theatre so thought I would leave it as is. Great show with 2 hours of pure Vai (with a brilliant drum solo 2/3 of the way in) plus threw in one of the crew singing opera towards the end (great voice)…I actually fooled a few mates by posting a photo of said opera singer and saying Wolfgang Van Halen made a special appearance🤣. Band was very tight and they got the sound mix just about right. The appearance of the Beast later in the show was memorable. Vai by his own admission stuffed the start of one song and had to restart but at least he owned it and made up for it with an exceptional performance on the restart. Crowd were really into it and it was so great to see so many young fans (young teenagers and younger kids) at a show featuring one of the modern guitar greats. So glad I made the 1 1/2 hour trek to see the mighty Steve Vai.

It was a great show and Steve allways give his best for his audience even for a small venue like the one in Ottawa. Having the chance and the honor of having a great virtuose like mister Vai is greatly appreciate by the fans. Thank you

Se puede decir que, Steve Vai es uno de esos pocos y descomunales genios que habitan el planeta tierra ofreciendo una música de la mas alta calidad, tanto a nivel de sonido como de virtuosismo. Es por ello que no es de extrañar que, cada show que ofrece se convierta en una experiencia única e irrepetible para el espectador y oyente. Yo, personalmente lo pase muy muy bien, y es que es muy facil hacerlo cuando él, junto a su banda, despliegan notas musicales a raudales haciéndose fáciles de escuchar por que todo fluye con naturalidad. Tampoco faltaron elegantes toques de humor en la actuación. También es verdad que, en esta actuación surgió algún ligero inconveniente técnico, algo que tanto él como su banda y equipo técnico supieron vencer con sobresaliente habilidad en Santana 27. Para terminar diré que, el espéctaculo es maravilloso, no os lo perdáis.

I love Steve Vai's shows as well as him as a person. Got to meet him after the show and he was such a nice person to take his time and chat with his fans and took photos as well as signed items. Great show and will forever appreciate Steve and his entourage!

The show was fantastic. Steve Vai is a master. In his 60s his techniques are beautiful, and he is as smooth as ever. The classics like "Tender Surrender", "Whispering a Prayer", "For the Love of God", and "Bad Horsie" are still flawless. If you are a fan, there is no doubt that you'll enjoy the show. If you aren't a fan, after this show you will become one.

The Lyric Theater is over 100 years old Mr.Vai told me, he said what a wonderful place to play! It was! This place is beautiful! Great service as far as finding your seat, drinks where a little too high, but I’m sure it went back into the theater…. This is one of the best sounding theater’s I’ve ever been in…..

One of the absolute best shows I have ever been to in my life. Steve performed amazingly, he was kind, and he was humble. It was my first time seeing him live, as well as my dad's. I will never forget this day, thank you Steve Vai!

Really enjoyed the Meet & Greet with Q&A. Steve really engaged with the crowd who opted for the extra cost. It was worth every penny. The venue was built in 1935 and was awesome! The show was great and we really enjoyed the VIP seats in the second row. My only complaint was the volume was a bit loud. I never complain about that, in fact most shows are not loud enough, but this was a little over the top at times. The mix and clarity of sound were great, but a few decibels lower would have been perfect! Thank you for a great show overall!

Sold out night! Masterful performance by Mr Vai and band! a tad disappointed he didn't bring out the Hydra, but I guess given the difficult touring conditions he described it's really hard to drag that massive thing across Europe, still, I'm happy to have experienced this

Steve Vai, Nuno Bettencourt, Zakk Wylde, and Yngwie Malmsteen playing together on one stage. At one point Bettencourt, Wylde, and Malmsteen were playing and as soon as Vai came in they blew out the sound system. Everything had to be rebooted and rest. That’s how you know you were at a kickass show!!

The show was Phenomenal! A must see.. Yngwvie Malmsteen, Steve Vai, Neno Bettencourt, Zakk Wylde, and Tosin Abasi were each outstanding!!! Wish I could see and experience their work every other night (a night in between for a brief recovery). Moody theater, ACL Staff members get a Negative Ding due to their security staff. Only one specifically, Frankie Garcia who choose not to listen and provided extremely poor security service. Instead of removing individuals who I did not know and were crowding and standing in the place I paid to be, I was threatened to be thrown out based on others who were supposedly warned by him. Not my job nor responsibility to move people who I do not know and do not have tickets to stand directly behind me, pushing me into the stage. I went out of my way, attempting to give him the benefit of the doubt, to address this with Frankie after the show about their possibly being a miscommunication. Frankie who quickly responded that there was no miscommunication and that he had told me "3 times". I responded that he had only said something to me once and that was when he threatened to throw me out. He told me that he told me and my friends 3 times. I pointed at my husband I asked "him?" And he said " no" the other 2, at which time I informed him that not only did I not know them but I asked him on multiple occasions to remove them from my area during the show. All he could respond was that is not my problem, my job is to keep the camera area clear you needed to tell someone else however he never bothered to mention that before and there were many times that I saw him remove others from the other side of the aisle. I find it interesting that he claims that he was to keep the camera area clear since I was doing that throughout the show. When I told Frankie that he could ask the camera crew whether I was helping them he said "I don't need to do that". Thank you for your unprofrssionalism Frankie Garcia. We have tickets in hand for Willie Nelson and Judas Priest at ACL., Moody Theater. REALLY DO NOT WANT TO BE TREATED LIKE SHIT by a Member (1) of ACL Security Staff ever again; yet, by Frankie's I don't give a shit attitude, and if he is still there... surely, we will be held accountable and threatened to be removed because of others actions around us who we do not know and who should not be where they are. I had no idea that when we entered the venue it became our responsibility as not paid security staff to make sure people were in the seats they paid for... Besides this . GENERATION AXE IS A MUST SEE!!!

The setlist for most of the concert was varied, and kept things interesting. I enjoyed Abasi, Bettencourt, Wylde, and Vai. Malmsteen's song choice was very unsaturated, and after a little while, I just wanted him to stop, or vary his performance more. Wylde was entertaining whenever he was on stage, but during every song, he would go off the stage and walk around the floor. This sounds fun at first, but it's not enjoyable when you're nowhere near him, and his solo's aren't very thoughtout, most likely because he's walking around while playing. Vai managed to make the concert super worth it, so it was an overall great show. Hope this review helps!

Vai...excellent as always...one of the great players and showmen. Seeing him play Neoclassical for the first time since...well, since he played Ralph Macchio's parts in Crossroads...Steve ripped the audience a new one playing "Black Star" with Yngwie. Two former Alcatrazz guitar players in a friendly duel. So cool.

Steve is a master and hearing him in another diverse musical setting is just as good as it always is with him, and it was a very intimate venue where you could sit really close to him, which was awesome. We thought the show was great!!!

Steve Vai continues to out do himself every time I see him. That was the 4th time I have seen him live. I will not miss his show next time he is in Portland... neither should anyone who enjoys instrumental rock and great entertainment!

I heard I it was incredible. unfortunately I spent the evening in the ER. Had meet and greet passes had to give them too my best friend and he said it was even better than he hoped! A bucket list event and I missed it. :(

It was an incredible display of musicianship. The Greatest guitarist on the planet with 3 other virtuoso musicians plus Larry Mitchell coming out to play a song?! I was right up at the front of the stage and I got to touch Evo (Steve's favorite guitar) and I got a pick. Needless to say it was a fun night.
