Format:DVD
This is a fantastic DVD featuring three of the truly great rock guitarists of our time. Each individual set is fairly short, 3 songs each for Vai & Satriani, with the new boy in terms of the G3 format, Petrucci, showcasing two tracks from his (relatively) recently released solo album.
All three sets are excellent, although a couple of the Vai tracks are probably neither his best known nor best loved tracks. In the overall context, though, that doesn't really matter as any song he performs manages to show what an amazing musician he is.
For those unfamiliar with John Petrucci, he is Dream Theater's guitarist and he has every right to be on stage with Vai & Satriani. He is a technical master but also capable of playing with plenty of feel.
The highlight of this disc has to be the three-song jam at the end. It is quite simply jawdropping. Expect a barrage of completely over the top playing which will bring a smile to your face every time. Each guitarist amazes at different points but, for me, Vai just about takes 1st prize due to his sheer inventiveness.
This DVD is a must for all rock guitar lovers, particularly given the silly asking price. Highly recommended.

This isnt the best G3 release in my opinion but at this price you can't not buy it.
The main highlight of this disk is the 3 song Jam at the end, with a great rendition of Smoke on the Water. I like the cool way the 3 guitarists all take little pieces of Blackmore's original solo and interpret it in their own styles.
Excellent value

Format:DVD
Absolutley stunning!! This DVD is packed full of superb musicianship and skill displayed by these three in their own unique way. We first see Satch on stage (who has achieved his best live tone) perform a magical Starry Night and an inspiring Midnight.
Secondly, Vai silences the crowd by coming on stage with a triple-neck guitar on which he plays two necks at the same time!!! Vai really does show off his skill in his final song by him and his bassist and his two rhythm guitarists standing in a row and reaching over, playing each others necks!!! Finally, Yngwie comes on and lets say, "frightens" the crowd with his speed, accuracy and "straight out of the 80's look!!! He plays an inspiring piece on an acoustic guitar (a true talent from a man that cannot read a note of music!).
The G3 jam at the end is superb! Vai performs Hendrix's Little Wing beautifully (with the exact tone as Hendrix), which brings a tear to the eye to see all three of them play a great tribute to the man himself. Malmsteen plays the intro to Voodoo Child with an incredible wah beggining then showing us what speed actually is. At times though, it is a shame to see Malmsteen put scarily fast arpeggios in the middle of Little Wing.
But this DVD is a must buy for all guitarists and even people who just like Rock. The camera work is top class, with the camera crew focusing on what the each of them are doing on the guitar instead of focusing at there face.
For a live DVD, the sound quality is as good as it gets, with nothing slightly muffled, instead you can hear everything perfectly balanced. There are not as many bonus features here, but the reason for that is so you can see the concert as it was, without having to edit bits out. This is the whole concert, as it was on the night.
For those guitarist's out there, there is an extra camera angle for you, called "Fret Cam" which zooms in on just the fretboard so you can see how they play it and to see the incredible talent that these three have.
Each player brilliantly shows the crowd what each of them can do and shows what no one else in the world can do. Do not miss out on this inspirational and jaw-dropping DVD - BUY IT NOW!!!

Careful!!
This does exactly what it says on the tin.
Would have been five stars but for the fact that Satriani is inaudible in the jam at the end. A shame. Read more

Best G3 show - Gr3at!!! for guitar heads everywhere

The BEST G3 and possibly the best concert that ever was

Amazing Guitar Work...
Well first of all I would like to say that this in my mind has been the best ever G3 lineup. Each player plays a 3 song set individually. Read more

Joe Satriani & Steve Vai are old friends and are brave to bring Yngwie onboard. Equally he is brave to come on board with these two. Read more

Great, even with Fatty Malmsteen!
Joe is Godly Joe. Vai is an eye-opener. Malmsteen is still slaughtering 'Far Beyond the Sun'. He does raise his game when he joins the other two later on and Jesus he's gotten... Read more
