Steve Vai

Ritchie Blackmore is beyond doubt one of the all-time great guitar players. From his pop roots with The Outlaws and his many session recordings in the sixties, through defining hard rock with Deep Purple and Rainbow in the seventies and eighties and on to the renaissance rock of Blackmore's Night, Ritchie has proved that he is a master of the guitar across a multitude of styles. For the first time "The Ritchie Blackmore Story" tells the story of his remarkable career.

The show was recorded and filmed at the State Theatre in Minneapolis, MN before a sold-out audience as part of Vai's successful Sound Theories world tour. Vai chose the State Theater to film because of its large, lush acoustics and the historical theatre's gorgeous interior. 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.

Steve Vai's Visual Sound Theories DVD features the live performances from the Aching Hunger concerts with the Holland Metropole Orchestra in July 2005. With a total running time of over 2 hours, the DVD includes 14 tracks in both stereo and 5.1 surround sound. Vai's trademark rock guitar creations are enriched by the accompaniment of a full orchestra, directed by conductor Dick Bakker.

On December 6 & 7, 2001 Grammy Award-winning guitarist Steve Vai headlined two shows at London's famed Astoria. The cameras were there to capture the experience, and now that concert is available as a 2-disc DVD - Live At The Astoria London, emcompassing almost 4 hours of content. Disc 1 feaures the actual concert, and disc 2 offers a number of cool bonus features, including behind-the-scenes footage and interviews.

As one of the most acclaimed guitarists for over a decade, Steve Vai continues to push musical and technological boundaries to the extreme with this groundbreaking DVD. This program includes the complete "Alien Love Secrets" album, featuring unique footage that allows you a special view into both Steve's guitar playing as well as the creative musical mood of each song. Songs: Bad Horsie, Juice, Die to Live, The Boy from Seattle, Ya-Yo Gakk, Kill the Guy with the Ball/The God Eaters, Tender Surrender.

G3, a guitar supergroup that features top-tier shredders Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, and John Petrucci, is a guitar-lover's dream come true, as heard on their latest DVD release Live In Tokyo. The trio of guitarist's usual high energy is cranked up even higher on this live Tokyo date, and the amount of heavy riffing and blistering leads throughout the set is mightily ferocious. Petrucci, who rose to prominence in the progressive metal band Dream Theater, distinguishes himself here, and proves that his six-string skills are on par with revered axe-slinging of Vai and Satriani.

In a sold-out tour running nationwide October through November 2003, the trio of Joe Satriani, Steve Vai and Yngwie Malmsteeen put on their G3 show: three guitarists putting on a mega show to a crowd of awestruck guitar fans. Having achived tremendous success and critical praise in their own careers, this tour marked the first time the three influential guitarists have joined forces on the same stage. Live In Denver was filmed entirely at the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver, colorado on October 20, 2003, and features nearly two hours of heavy instrumental guitar work.

The most influential rock instrumental guitarists of the past decade - Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson and Steve Vai - joined forces as G3 for a U.S. tour in October of 1996. It was an unprecedented event, as never before had these three premier guitarists appeared and toured together. G3 - Live In Concert was recorded on November 2nd, 1996, at the Northrop Auditorium in Minneapolis, MN.

When doctors diagnosed 19-year-old rock star Jason Becker with Lou Gehrig's Disease (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), they said he would never make music again and wouldn't live to see his 25th birthday. Twenty-two years later, without the ability to move or to speak, Jason is still alive and making music. With the help of modern technology, Jason uses his eyes to communicate and compose symphonies. Even though he has been robbed of his fingers and his speech, his brilliant mind never stops shredding!
