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

  • Date of Concert: November 13, 2022
  • Location of Concert: Old Forester's Paristown Hall in Louisville, KY
  • Opener: Larry Mitchell
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.
