Joe Satriani's Releases "Big Bad Moon" From G3 Reunion Live

Joe Satriani's Releases "Big Bad Moon" From G3 Reunion Live

Listen to the new track from Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson, and Steve Vai's G3 Reunion Live.


Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson, and Steve Vai returned to the G3 touring concept in 2024 for a sold-out US tour. This was the original G3 lineup that saw the three virtuosos first share a stage back in 1996. Each guitarist plays a full set with their own band and then the three join together for an encore jam.

"G3 Reunion Live" is much more than ā€œjustā€ a live album. Itā€™s a full album-length set from each artist plus a collaborative supergroup LP. The deluxe edition features a different colored vinyl for each artist, a special splatter LP for the encore jam, and a 64-page photo book, divided into artist and jam chapters, with the full program also on 2 CDs. It is also available in a 2CD digipak with a 16-page photo booklet, 4 LP gatefold and digital download.

Our columnistā€™s Greco 912, now out of his hands, but fondly remembered.

A flea-market find gave our Wizard of Odd years of squealing, garage-rock bliss in his university days.

Recently, I was touring college campuses with my daughter because sheā€™s about to take the next step in her journey. Looking back, Iā€™ve been writing this column for close to 10 years! When I started, my kids were both small, and now theyā€™re all in high school, with my oldest about to move out. Iā€™m pretty sure sheā€™s going to choose the same university that I attended, which is really funny because sheā€™s so much like me that the decision would be totally on point.

Ethnomusicologist Frances Densmore records the song of Mountain Chief, head of the Blackfeet Tribe, on a phonograph for the Bureau of American Ethnology in 1916.

Once used as a way to preserve American indigenous culture, field recording isnā€™t just for seasoned pros. Here, our columnist breaks down a few methods for you to try it yourself.

The picture associated with this monthā€™s Dojo is one of my all-time favorites. Taken in 1916, it marks the collision of two diverging cultural epochs. Mountain Chief, the head of the Piegan Blackfeet Tribe, sings into a phonograph powered solely by spring-loaded tension outside the Smithsonian. Across from him sits whom I consider the patron saint of American ethnomusicologistsā€”the great Frances Densmore.
