Satch is
enjoying the success of being the guitarist in Chickenfoot and
at the same time keeping his solo career alive and well.
Live In Paris, released as a CD and DVD (sold separately)
sees the baldheaded rocker strutting his stuff as only he can
do.
“I Just
Wanna Rock” starts it off with a bang as the band proceed to
rock your balls off. “Satch Boogie” and “Flying in a Blue
Dream” are both executed well while “One Big Rush” and “Out of
the Sunrise” drops jaws of all musicians who take time to listen
or watch this one. And this is only the first disc!
Disc Two
starts off with “Time Machine” and then gets it going on with
“Mystical Potato Head Groove Thing.” The back-to-back
performances of “Always With Me, Always With You” and “Surfing
With The Alien” keep the amazing musicianship at the forefront.
“Crowd Chant” is a cool way to interact with the audience and
“Summer Song” is a great way to end the show. The DVD also
includes a mini-documentary and gives the listener the
opportunity to have another sense blown away by Mr. Satriani’s
talent.
This one
rocks from beginning to end and I recommend you pony up the
bucks and get the CD and the DVD – one for the home and one for
the car.
