Summary: DISAPPOINTING
Review: This had so much potential. Arrghhh!! My favorite 3 guitarist, yet the sound is muddied. It should have been recorded in 5.1 (like Satriani - Live in SF). The video is good.

THE SOUND IS HORRIBLE THOUGH and THAT'S WHAT MAKES THIS A TRAVESTY.

I am so disappointed, as for Concert DVDs, audio is the most important factor. Not even anamorphic.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: VAI is the GUY
Review: So lets start of by saying I could only see Satch live in Buenos Aires Argentina, and I was like there is such a difference between live and studio that its just amazing. My favorite artist here is Steve, so what can I say bout this guys that hasn't been said. Firstly, the song selection from these artists isn't all that great, think Steve could have chosen some better songs from the Passion and Warfare album. Two of these songs come from that album, although I would have loved to listen ANIMAL and EROTIC NIGHTMARES which are two of Vai's greatest songs for my taste. This DVD is kind of short, they could have included one more song for each artist. It's about 75 minutes long. Though regarding quality its very good, I definately was left wanting more. Anyway the price is excellent so I suggest you buy it anyway, a must own DVD for any fan. Worth it for the price!!! is my final comment.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing guitar!
Review: These guys are the modern wizards of the six string! Their performances will blow your mind. Vituoso performances from each. Satch and Vai's styles are a bit more rockin, I think everyone will agree that Eric Johnson's bluesy/jazzy style, which is more clean and less flashy, is equally amazing. Vai is just incredible!

If you like guitar, you'll get a good sampling of each of these guys' performances, and then they all jam together at the end. I thought the sound was good and the video was good. Highly recommended!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good,but could be better
Review: ...

They convinced me to buy this DVD, I didn't regret it, but it can not be compared to the Live In SAn Francisco DVD. Which is the best Joe Satriani concert released so far.

In my opinion: buy it, but the L. In S. F. is better...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome DVD
Review: If you like satch, vai, or eric Johnson, This DVD is a must. It's great even if you just like great guitar playin. I've been playin guitar for a long time, and I'm yet to see a better DVD. If you don't already have it, get it!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good playing; sets were too fragmented; sound problems
Review: I'll mention this straightaway: if you're a Satriani fan, you might be disappointed. I am, and I was. Still, this disc should provide enough minutes of cool licks and good rock effects to satisfy most fans of rock/blues guitar virtuosity.

Satriani. My favorite of the three in real life, but not in this show. Don't get me wrong: his stage presence and artistry were still awesome, and the songs did showcase Joe's adeptness in creating some great sound layering effects. But, I saw two big problems. First, there were only three songs (alas, everyone's allotment) that seemed to be spliced together out of a longer set (again, same with the others) that I would have enjoyed listening to. Second, I don't think a "power trio" set-up (no rhythm guitar) does justice to the band's repertoire of songs. As a glaring example, "Summer Song" sounds terribly thin with the guitar "way up here" and the bass "way down there." No middle. Thus, one of the best rock 'n' roll cruising songs is rendered nearly powerless in going from CD to G3. Oh well. Get Joe's "Live in San Francisco" two-disc DVD; it's awesome.

Johnson. The guitarist I was the least familiar with, but most impressed by. Although his fingering appears to be the more labored of the three, I thought the music was the most interesting, with a diverse fusion of rock/jazz/blues. Nothing much in terms of stage presence, yet all three songs were performed well and had me leaning toward the TV to watch the playing. Eric had four members in his band, adding a keyboardist to provide some rhythm and melodic complements. Unfortunately, this three-song clip didn't last much longer than fifteen minutes.

Vai. By far the biggest showman of the three, Steve performed the heaviest rock tunes. "The Attutute Song" especially jammed, but this and the two others had an overabundance of squealing guitar effects and feedback. His bandmate, Mike Keneally, added some much welcomed rhythm guitar, keyboards, and matched Steve lick for lick in some dual lead guitar work (impressive!). This set was the most musically well rounded of the three. Steve shows that he loves the rock 'n' roll stage, and his involved and animated persona is fun to watch.

G3. Three great tunes, although I agree with previous reviewers that there was something lacking in the sound. I listened to this on 3.1 (no speakers in the back) and found that Satriani and Johnson could be heard well enough, center and left, respectively, although the extreme separation was a little weird. Vai's guitar was relegated to the right channel, and seemed distant; you had to strain to hear his licks. Bit of a disappointment.

Overall this is a good, not great, rock guitar DVD which fell short in terms of length and sound quality.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent buy for anyone who likes great guitar music.
Review: Satch, Johnson, and Vai... a great trio. (I liked the G3 concert with Petrucci far better, as I am a Dream Theater fan.) I'd buy that one on DVD if they release it. =)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: These guys will blow you away
Review: Anyone that enjoys watching a virtuoso play will enjoy this DVD. There are a few minor production flubs, and I wish they would have included at least one of Johnson's more popular songs. Picture and sound are very good. These guys are at the very top of the list of guitar players and all 3 together is breathtaking.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: No comments are needed...
Review: The DVD flatters by itself. This proctuct catches the best essence of the concert, and show to us how magestic Satriani, Vai and Johnson were that night. The songs at the end are the best though, with them all 3 guitarrist demonstrate their true talents.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The best of the best
Review: this is a work of art, a masterpiece, what ever u doo JUST BUY IT. joe satriani eric johnson and steve vai the three best at there best. although i sorta wished eric played cliffs of dover but his songs are still excellent. Also check out joes bassist i dont dont really know his name but he is GOOOOOD. and the INCREDIABLE MIKE KENELLY as back up for steve. I just got a guitar 4 christmas and am now getting in to the history of music. But i love these instrumentals with all of my heart. The only cons are the selection is limited and you cant really hear the voices too well
