A Classic Guitarist meets a Classic Rock Guitarist

Went to see Joe Satriani play on Sunday (19, Keswick Theatre Glenside, PA US); what an awesome performance. The Man totally rips on guitar! He also had Leslie West of “Mountain” open for him.

I remember seeing Mountain perform at “Max Myers Park - Oakland St & Magee Ave Philadelphia, PA 19149” in the 80’s.
Get Directions The classic rock guitar player astonished me back then; and again tonight. Both guitarists are masters of their own style of rock. Joe ended the night by asking Leslie West to perform the song “Goin Down” with him. Hearing both these guys trading solos just floored me. Satriani is clearly a leader at commanding his guitar to scream, laugh, cry, and through chunks at will. I kept hearing this little voice telling me “Bob, you need to practice”.
