Satch was the only one that mastered the idiosyncracies of the Royal Albert Hall (i.e. no need for reverb dude). Vai's set was a sonic mess from start to finish - Vai, Macalpine and Sheehan battling for mid-range supremacy - it was as equally embarassing as Fripp's set but for very different reasons - I actually left my row 4 brilliant seats to go for a slash - when I got to the bog, the sound was far better (clearly after I'd done my business) so I went to the bar to watch the rest of set on a crappy black and white monitor whilst supping a chilled one - Vit P and Mooger came in after Vai's set and gave me grief but I swear it sounded 10x better in the bar / bog. When I resumed seats, Satriani came on and gave a masterlass - he completely nailed that venue and that is why he is Obi Wan.

Agreed Vai didn't get the sound right that night but he was sick as a dog that night he went to see a throat specialist before the gig and I don't think he sound checked much.
He knew he hadn't done a great gig, he told me so through a very rough sounding voice backstage.

So why did he state during the gig this was the highlight of his career playing such a beautiful venue?
I just wish people would be more honest - if he was a sick as a dog he should have just said so because the audience would have respected and warmed to him instead of thinking otherwise?

Not too crazy about the video applications but the motion sensor stuff is quite cool!
