Movie Reviews of Joe Satriani: Satriani Live!
Movie Review: if you're a fan of Satriani, you will be happy with this concert dvd
Summary: 4 Stars
this covers most of his big songs, old and new. Shows some behind the scenes in the studio and on tour. I was happy with everything on the dvd and believe any fan would want this in their collection.Movie Review: good buy
Summary: 4 Stars
Satriani is a great guitarist but he is not as much as a showman as Vai
so its not as exciting but it is in Dolby digital and it had some good bonus features. Over all a good buy.
Movie Review: Satriani Live, Cameramen Schizoid!
Summary: 3 Stars
This Satriani live video event is less glitzy than "Live in San Francisco" from 2000. The Anaheim stage is sparse, not as many lights, and Joe and the guys just get down to business, which in this case involves performing most of the material from the 2006 album "Super Colossal," with only five older tunes thrown in for variety (Blue Dream, Cool #9, Summer Song, Potato Head, Extremist). The technique is stellar as always--you can count on that from Joe. But they must have used between eight and twelve cameras to film this concert, because they jump cut between them constantly. You don't stay with a single camera angle for any longer than three seconds, so it gets annoying. I'd have filmed a more "guitar fan" friendly video with just a single hand-held DVD cam. The whole idea should be to make Joe and his fingers the main attraction. Joe is certainly the focal point here, but the trouble is one second you're looking at him from overhead, the next you're looking at him from a distance, the next you're looking at him several feet away from the left...you get the idea. You're not gonna pick up a lot of Joe's guitar technique by studying this. It's just too jumpy, which is an insult to fans of instrumental rock, who by definition have shown over the years that we're not ADHD kids hooked on stutter-shot MTV production values. For God's sake, next time just take a camera--ONE camera--and train it on Joe for a while without moving. The sound is good here, but you'll get dizzy watching it. The clamshell DVD case should come with dramamine tablets! Good bonus features, though. A lot of content on this two DVD set for the price.Movie Review: the camera can get annoying
Summary: 3 Stars
though the camera work is not as bad as Vai's Astoria, it still changes too much just when you're getting comfortable watching an angle.. I find that it's not so bad on every song, but it could be a lot more friggin still. But maybe it can't be that way because they're afraid it won't sell enough. Aside from the camera hassles, the music and performance rocks!Movie Review: satch boogie

hmm,i love satriani and have everything he's done but this feels a little unfinished and joe doesn't look as relaxed as he does when he does the G3 thing (which i also follow avidly)as usual the guitar work is excellent but maybe it's just the camera work that doesn't show joe at his best ! still one for the collection and it proves he's still as good as ever
