This DVD features the trio of Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, and John Petrucci of Dream Theater, performing live on May 8, 2005 at the International Forum in Tokyo. Also included are show highlights, 5.1 sound, behind-the-scenes at the soundcheck, and bios. G3, a guitar supergroup that features top-tier shredders Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, and John Petrucci, is a guitar-lover's dream come true. The band'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 addition to some extended jams, there are covers of classic, guitar-defining rock songs (Deep Purple's "Smoke On the Water" and Jimi Hendrix's "Foxey Lady," among them) that add a dash of fun to the jaw-dropping pyrotechnics on offer. G3 - Live In Tokyo Movie Review Average Rating: (4.6 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews G3-Live in Tokyo. Miss it, miss out!
Excellent performances from three of the greatest electric guitar players around.
Audio commentary from the mighty three very interesting especially if you are an electric guitar enthusiast.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Best G3 yet.
As far as a musician's wet dream, this DVD pretty much covers it. Petrucci's new solo material certainly gives a new angle on his signature sound, & is delivered in flawless form.
Vai is the usual mind blowing viruoso that we've all come to love. A truly astonishing set(The Audiance is Listening live - nuff said).
Also Satch's best performance on a G3 to date. If you are a fan of guitar wankery at its finest, then BUY THIS!!!!

G3 - Live In Tokyo video
 $10.59  
Evening with John Petrucci & Jordan Rudess is an unheralded recording by Dream Theater and Liquid Tension Experiment alumnus John Petrucci, and Jordan Rudess is a unique entry in the Dream Theater family discography. Recorded live in Nyack, New York, the duo performed a mixed set of acoustic and electric (guitar only) compositions. Both players are world-class musicians, but Rudess in particular demonstrates his well-rounded skills, proving why he is an in-demand session player for the likes of David Bowie and Paul Winter. Petrucci too is a fine musician, but lacks the harmonic and rhythmic sophistication to serve as a strong accompanist. This limitation does not prevent the session from being enjoyable, in fact, it is Petrucci's energetic soloing that ...

| | Dream Theater Octavarium CD (2005)
G3 - Live In Tokyo DVD
$10.59
As the sole major-label progressive-metal act, Dream Theater invariably set the standard as the flagship band of the genre. With the numerically themed OCTAVARIUM (including eight tracks signifying the band's eighth release) the shred-rock quintet continues to challenge themselves creatively. Opening track "The Root Of All Evil" picks up the thread that began with "The Glass Prison" (SIX DEGREES OF INNER TURBULENCE) and carried forward to "This Dying Soul" (TRAIN OF THOUGHT). Drummer Mike Portnoy's lyrics for these songs read like a set of deeply personal journal entries documenting his painful recovery experience, further disclosed by a footnote nod to Alcoholics Anonymous co-founder Bill Wilson. OCTAVARIUM ...

Here, Chuck Workman tries to get inside the life of Mr. Warhol by bringing together interviews with the artist himself, innumerable celebrities, Warhol's family, and some Campbell's Soup executives. ...
