In his first visit to Toronto in many years, 80s guitar god Joe Satriani played to a nearly full Massey Hall last night and totally delivered the rock and/or roll goods. With a competent if unflashy backing band, Satriani ripped through some of the excellent new tunes on his recently released Black Swans and Wormhole Wizards disc as well as many old favourites.
Say what you want about the coolness of this kind of music these days, but Joe really puts on a great show. He's like some kind of guitar playing machine - he never puts a foot wrong, it seems. From fluid, legato lines to beefy metal power chords Joe is in total command of his instrument (a fleet of identical but differently-coloured Ibanez solid body guitars) at all times.
To wit:
In other news, the Black Aces did not apparently fare too well in their most recent contest. Sometime sniper Brian M compared the team's performance to that of the truck driver in this clip:
