    One of the Best Guitarists in the World: Steve Vai Concert Review

    I finally saw Steve Vai in concert.
     
    In Louisville, Kentucky.
     
    He and his band sounded phenomenal, playing about 2 hours and 20 minutes.
     
    For those that don’t know, Steve Vai is a very successful guitarist, having played with Frank Zappa, Alcatrazz, David Lee Roth, Whitesnake, many guest appearances with different artists, and of course, a solo artist.
     
    Guitarist/Producer Larry Mitchell opened the show and later jammed with Vai near the end.
     
    Vai had a few good stories to tell, but still let the music go most of the talking.
     
    Near the end, he even went into the crowd and strapped his guitar onto a fan and played the guitar while she held it. Pretty cool.
     
    It was another great concert.
     
    Steve Vai and his band are incredible.
     
    A good end to a crap week.
     
    I’ve had a lot of them lately.
     
    I expect this week to be no different.
     
    Two more concerts to see this month and then that May be the last ones I see until March.
     
    We’ll see.
