| It was so great seeing him after being a fan of his for over twenty years! |
Steve Vai's music is both enthralling and beautiful. He mostly plays instrumental guitar songs. He does sing on a few songs.
He has a great backing band behind him with Tony McAlpine and David Weiner on guitar, his long-time friend Billy Sheehan
on bass guitar. By the way, they played together with David Lee Roth on his first two solo albums, "Eat 'Em And Smile",
and "Skyscraper". Check those out for some of Steve's great early work! Finally Steve has a "new kid"
on drums. His name is Jeremy Colson. He turned 28 years-old on the day of our concert in New Orleans. This concert will
be an experience I'll never forget. I hope to see Steve again someday in a better seat! It was hard to see sometimes from
the balcony. But, it was still an awesome concert.
