MESSAGE FROM JOE

Hello from Lisbon, Portugal, on the last night of the first leg of the Wormhole Tour. Looking forward to a great show tonight to cap off a great tour of Europe. Big hugs and thanks to all our European fans for making this tour so much fun. With our new production in full swing now, the show looks and sounds better than ever.

Coming up on the 29th, I will be sitting in with Jay Leno Tonight Show Band, playing some cool covers and maybe a few originals. Tune in and check it out.

The Joe Satriani "Essential" CD will be out on Sony/Legacy this month. It's a nice collection of songs and stories for someone just beginning to check me out, or, the fan who must have everything!

Our "Light Years Away" video is out and spreading the word in the deepest corners of the galactic internet for humans and aliens alike...

After a little Thanksgiving break we will be back on the road December 1st at The Center Stage in Atlanta. The tour will keep rolling and thundering through North America until January 22nd and 23rd, where we will be playing two shows in Mexico City. Come see the band and be a part of the Wormhole Tour!

Joe

JOE SATRIANI "ESSENTIAL" CD OUT THIS MONTH 

Check out this excerpt from Joe's liner notes for this new "Essential" series collect from Sony/Legacy. Also included are individual stories and memories behind the songs included on this compilation.

"This collection represents a twenty-five year journey composing, playing and recording rock guitar instrumental music, with a vocal or two thrown in for good measure. Selecting the tracks was at first a daunting task, with over one hundred and seventy songs to choose from, you can imagine the difficulty. During the selection process I started to feel that artists shouldn't be the ones to pore over their work like this. It's better to be looking forward, always searching for what lies ahead. Then I asked myself, "Is this a 'Greatest Hits' or an 'Anthology' collection?" There is a difference. However, in this case, it turns out to be both after all, a collection of songs for the hardcore fan, as well as the casual listener. I know this because we turned to the very people who know my music best to compile it, the online fans at satriani.com. With thousands of replies from our questionnaire regarding the "Anthology" collection, we compiled a master track list from which we could extract an awesome collections of songs, and exercise a little editorial control as well. In the end however, their message was loud and clear, and I thank them for ultimately defining this double CD offering."

- Joe Satriani, San Francisco September 2010
