  • Steve Vai and the String Theories band perform the opening track "Now We Run" from the new DVD "Live In Minneapolis - Where The WIld Things Are".
    The show was recorded and filmed at the State Theatre in Minneapolis, MN before a sold-out audience as part of Vais successful Sound Theories world tour.
    Vai is widely known for both his unprecedented guitar playing techniques and the unique design of his signature series Ibanez Jem guitar. But his fans have become inextricably drawn to his melodic depth, and dynamic stage performance. The continued evolution of his craft is made apparent in the astonishing musicianship presented in "Live In Minneapolis - Where The Wild Things Are". The 2 hour and 40 minute set contains several new tracks and re-orchestrated pieces culled from his rich catalog. His guitar-wielding extravaganza in 'The Murder' is an artistic performance piece that must be seen to be believed.
    The addition of virtuoso violinists Alex DePue and Ann Marie Calhoun add a dazzling dimension to Vai's compositions and stage show, delivering fans the unexpected edge they always expect. Other world-class musicians chosen for Vai's band are: Bryan Beller (bass), Jeremy Colson (drums), Dave Weiner (guitar and sitar) and Zack Wiesinger (lap steel).
    "Live In Minneapolis - Where The Wild Things Are" is available on DVD, and audio CD on September 29th. Blu-ray on November 10.

    After everything is said and done, Steve will be remembered for enhancing the human perception on what a guitar and it's player is capable of when fused together. He is revered today but will be hailed even higher in 500 years to come. We were just lucky to have been around in his time, seen him grow into the fruit that's Vai. Amen.

Steve was in top form; no matter how many tecniques he invents - he always sounds like himself - kind of like Jeff Beck that way. Steve's tone is unbellievably greasy - in a good way. My girlfriend is the one now who is alert to Steve's upcoming tours. The violinists and the other members of the band are worl-class. Great concert Steve.
