RELEASED 8.2.2010
If there is one thing that can be said about veteran guitarist
Joe Satriani, it is that he loves to play in front of a crowd. Now, his legions of fans worldwide will be ecstatic to learn that a recent live show was recorded just for them; more great musical moments captured forever.
Satriani's DVD recording of
"Live in Paris: I Just Wanna Rock" is set to be released on February 2, 2010 through
Epic Records. This very special recording depicts
Satriani's stirring May 2008 performance in Paris, France. Some of his most memorable songs —
"Surfing With The Alien",
"Flying in a Blue Dream" — are matched with recent hits like
"Super Colossal" and
"I Just Wanna Rock".
Following the success of his other "live" DVD releases,
"Satriani Live" in 2006 and
"Live in San Francisco" in 2001,
Satriani has gained new heights with
"Live in Paris". The quality of music by the 15-time
Grammy nominee is unquestionable, yet the extraordinary editing and artful stage lighting makes this
Satriani "live" DVD a pleasure for the new viewer, as well as the long-time fan. An anticipated bonus offering on the
"Live in Paris" DVD is the in-depth interview, unlike any other, with
Satriani as well as behind-the-scenes footage. Also set for same day release is the companion 2-CD album for
"Live In Paris: I Just Wanna Rock"!
Over the last two decades,
Satriani has traveled the world, playing to sold-out crowds as both a headliner and as founder of the all-star
"G3" guitar extravaganza. Of his 14 solo albums, two went platinum and four gold, with 15
Grammy nominations between them. In 2009,
Satriani joined with former
VAN HALEN frontman
Sammy Hagar, former
VH bassist
Michael Anthony, and
RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS' drummer
Chad Smith, to form the standout rock collaboration
CHICKENFOOT. Their debut self-titled album was recently certified gold by the
Recording Industry Association of America, with over 500,000 in album shipments.
