JOE SATRIANI'S "NOT OF THIS EARTH" ALBUM CELEBRATES ITS 40TH ANNIVERSARY

Joe Satriani's "Not Of This Earth" album celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2026.
Reason enough for a fancy red vinyl re-release, is what the people at the Music On Vinyl record label must have thought.

The very same label is also re-releasing "Is There Love In Space?".
On white vinyl.

JOE SATRIANI / ERIC JOHNSON / STEVE VAI - G3 REUNION LIVE

• Joe Satriani / Eric Johnson / Steve Vai: G3 Reunion Live
      (2025, 2cd, Europe, ear music)

Next to the 4 LP / 2 CD deluxe box, the "G3 Reunion Live" album also got released as a 4 LP set and as a 2 CD set.
The 4 LP set had the same cover artwork as the deluxe box set. The 2 CD set had different artwork.
Quite a lot of the music that's on this set, also got performed by the SatchVai band.
As I'm patiently awaiting a SatchVai release, I thought it would only be logic to give this "G3 Reunion Live" album another spin.

JOE SATRIANI / ERIC JOHNSON / STEVE VAI - G3 REUNION LIVE

• Joe Satriani / Eric Johnson / Steve Vai: G3 Reunion Live
      (2025, 4lp + 2cd, --, ear music)

I'm giving the "G3 Reunion Live" box set another visit today.
The box had been on display in my living room for a while and can now be moved to the shelf.
An incredible package: 4 LPs on colored vinyl, 2 CDs (with the same music), and a beautiful hardbound coffee table book.
And the music is amazing.
Full of anticipation for the upcoming SatchVai Band release...

JOE SATRIANI & NED EVETT

Joe Satriani and Ned Evett have launched Satchtoons Media.

www.satchtoons.com

The first (?) 'release' is some sort of tablet that presents some animated videos and audio files.
I picked it up at a recent SatchVai Band gig.

It's a fun gadget, and I do hope that the website will become operation soon so that I can check out if it can do more than just play the videos.

SATCHVAI

Yesterday, we went to see the SatchVai Band in Düsseldorf, DE.
We had seen the band in Antwerp but decided we just had to see them again.

Antwerp had fine seats, fifth row, a bit on the side. Excellent view, but the sound wasn't too good.
We couldn't hear Joe's guitar too well (he was on the other side of the stage), and it was way too loud.
That's the choice you often have to make. View versus sound.
Still, one of the best shows I had ever seen.

Düsseldorf had us in row 22. the view was more than OK and the sound was superb.
It doesn't get much better than this.

SATCHVAI BAND ON TOUR

Wowie zowie.

One of the best shows I've ever seen. From any artist. Period.

Catch them if you can.

Joe is going to record a new song with Brian this year for a Brian Tarquin & Heavy Friends’ EP he’s producing. And Steve Vai wrote to Brian about “Speed of Sound,” the track which Joe played with Brian on his “Brothers in Arms” album released in 2023. Steve praised, “I really like the track (Speed of Sound) you and Joe Satriani did together. It rocks hard, and for such a great cause.” Joe and Brian won "Best Video" in the Joisey Awards.
