Mycket bra spelning med 25 års jubileum av albumet: "Passion and Warfare"! It was crunching & taking away from the other guitarists with the bass dominance. Two years after leaving Frank Zappa's band and launching his solo career, Vai was scooped up by David Lee Roth to help launch the ex-Van Halen singer's solo career in 1985. All he could respond was that is not my problem, my job is to keep the camera area clear you needed to tell someone else however he never bothered to mention that before and there were many times that I saw him remove others from the other side of the aisle. Promising crowd an amazing show is one thing, delivering more than that is another.

If you like melodic guitar music and are interested in seeing a real musician at the top of his game, go and see him.
