Format:DVD
Recorded live at the Fillmore in San Francisco in December 2000, this is a double DVD with 25 songs in total, and is, frankly, awesome. The quality of the video, the audio, graphics, & song selection are near perfect, and unlike a lot of music DVDs/videos, the camera actually focuses on the guitar playing, so you can really apreciate what he's doing, showing off his amazing techniques. In fact, it's almost like being at one of Joe's concerts. Bass players can delight in the prescence of Stu Hamm, who gets a solo spot on disc 2. Perhaps even more noteworthy though, is that you get the whole of Joe's as yet unreleased (planned for June) new album! It doesn't get much better than this! Essential.
Extra features:
3 multi angled tracks - Time/Devil Slide/Crush of love
"Backstage" piece, where Joe talks about Jimi & his setup.
Stand out tracks: Satch Boogie, Circles, One Big Rush, The Mystical Potato Head Groove Thing, Surfing with the Alien.

This is a fantastic DVD. I was at the Irish leg of his 'Engines of Creation' tour and the set list (and the memories!) are the same. From the opening bars of 'Time' through to 'Rubina', it's an inspiring musical journey and a pleasure to watch this virtuoso again. He plays his best set list (as at the date of the gig) and produces one of the best live performances I've seen from anyone. I read in the review below about the 'booing'. Well, in actual fact the crowd weren't booing but 'Stuing' Stu Hamm the bassist, as Joe says - "They Stu him, cause they love him'. There are very few true artists in the music industry anymore, buy this and be captivated by an emotional experience.

Unless I want to use the word 'oo' several times consecutively there's not much I can say to recommend this. Joe Satriani is an amazing guitarist, obviously. Though not as good as Steve Vai. Sorry. Making no friends with this attitude. His grasp of style and technique is awe-inspiring. This man is not just some speed-freak widdler with no style (I'm looking at you, Yngwie) but is capable of flights of almost wizardly soloing as well as beautiful slow passages. My only quibble with his songs is that the structure of a lot of them seem slightly similar.
And his band . . . Stu Hamm is something of a prodigy, if you like bass particularly, and he has his very own solo in which he just shows off. In many ways it was more impressive than a lot of Satch's crazier moments.
Jeff Campitelli, if that's how his name's spelt - great drummer. I can't say much more than that. He keeps in time and doesn't screw it up. Fair play to him.
Eric Cadieux (again, I've probably spelt his name wrong) on rhythm guitar and keyboards. At least, he's on rhythm guitar until 'Borg Sex', when he comes out from his keyboard nest and does a little duet with Satch. It's both amazing and irritating. He's extraordinary. However much of the time you can't really hear his rhythm or keyboards - only the bass, drums and lead guitar really come through.
There's a 'Backstage' DVD extra which has Satch going through his stage rig etc and talking about stuff. Without his glasses he looks pretty damn scary.
Bad points - Satch singing 'Big Bad Moon'. On the album he sings it well enough. Live it doesn't sound so great.
Also the harmonica solo seems to lack a lot of the oomph it had in the album version and just sounds flat.
These are minor points that shouldn't detract from this amazing performance. Go buy it.
