I loved how Jason always played this insanely complex stuff but always smiled and ran around like a kid playing air guitar just for fun or something.

Jason Becker is legendary. What a great writer, player and performer. But beyond all that, what a great human being. Long Live Jason Becker.

the image quality makes this video look like a relic...

Love how you can always tell (regardless of video quality) which one is Marty cause of his weird ass picking hand

Those 2 were so awesome!

Unique and creative arrangements, not dull ear.

Man Marty is young here! I bet he misses these days with Jason really bad.

I had no idea footage of this existed. Absolutely awesome! Thanks for the upload.

nothing compares to Cacophony....they're legendary.

No words can describe this.

We dont do music like this no more, RIP Heavy metal

2: 37 !! i love this part!

love that move jason does at 4:10

Back in the days when people didn't had cellphones with 12mp to shoot a concert to later go viral!

my heroes showing amazing musicality

5:53 so fucking cool!

The Guitars on Fires!!!!

man these two are the best what USA have done to the world, I still have hope from this country just because of those two..Hail Marty and Jason

You can find The footage of a guitar expo here on KZfaq where Jason and Marty are playing in the Carvin room of this hotel in LA that I went to, it’s super cool because the sound is so clean in that room. Great post though this one is one of the best examples of how Jason was such a developed player at such a young age.

Thank GOD that he got this album out. That's all I have to say.

the best guitar song, nobody can play like these monsters..

Holy shit! that was soooooo fucking awesome!!!

jeeeez. that 2nd blues improv marty did is unbelievable. wish there were more live vids :(

we love you jason!

We have seen good covers, but watching Jason Becker himself perform live is simply impressive.He is truly a virtuoso at the level of the great masters of classical music

totally mind blowing

BEST ROCK JAM IN THIS VEDIO ~!!!!

This is truly a Gem. Becker playing one of his solo songs during a Cacophony concert.

this video is gold

the perfect equilibrium between a great riff and solo =) GOD BLESS JASON BECKER

I didn't know cacophony played that song. I love the blues section of it! Jason and Marty were definately one of the best guitar duos of all time!

incredible! a Becker-song live by Cacophony...my absolute heroes! amazing!

My favourite song by these two... man I would have loved to see Jason play before he got sick

esto es lo máximo...esta canción tiene los medios cambios ..y al final ese blues metalero...es genial....practicar para poder tocar así!!...

holy shit!!!! sweeps ending in pinch harmonics at 4:00. Jason Becker is simply the best

thanks for posting this video!

Wow thanks for sharing!

te las mandaste weon ...gracias por subir este tremendo tema. grande jason¡¡¡

OMG thanks allot for this!

amazing

i say it again, the best guitar players.....is not about only speed they are monsters

i love when they go into the blues shuffle and just shred the holy living hell out of it. He's "NOT DEAD YET!" LONG LIVE JASON!

XD wat a refreshing summary

jason's and marty's music is the best music i've ever heard

really... a clear apreciation of styles!

i cannot belive that this prerformance was caught on tape. in all of human existance this is rare gem. Many men can pontificate on the generalities of existanse, but no man can explain the pure genius of this band. becker+friedman= twenty thousand stars!!!

Dios que Joya de video !!!!!!!!

Los consegui de soulseek, y de nada es un gusto ver que la gente aprecia que uno suba buenos videos.

Both Bruce, Paul and Becker are totally clean and magnificently crazy guitarplayers.

I wish this video was in HD. So we can hear how great it sounds.

Epic win.

just look at marty he just blasts out pure geniousity he's invincible just look at him.

that was epic

This song is as old as me, but i love it.

Kick ass!!!

the camera shut down temporarily due to an awesomeness overload.

marty's got the feel and the vibrato, man hes the vibrato king. adds a ton of personality.

que envidia a los que estubieron ahi!!!

hahaha... both are incredible... you can notice jason has fun while playing...and marty's got excitement... really nice combination

In-f''ncredible

Gods!!

You should never look down on an idol, heck, that's who got you to where you are in the first place. >_>

i love the theme from 1:03 to 1:20. simply beautiful.

FUCK!!!! first video iv seen of a perpetual burn song brilliant video from the masters. long live becker

And they both have their shirts tucked in, LOL!

haha I love that little move Jason does at 4:10

Jason born in 1969 Marty in 1963.

In anyway I have enjoyed it!

Wow...marty's phrasing is just....wow

i love megadeth as well

To be perfectly honest, back in the mid-eighties they were a somewhat common guitar in metal circles and you didn't really think about them becoming a collector's guitar. I had the Carvin X100B half-stack also and I really miss having that one as well. I was dumb and traded it in for a Crate - Blue Voodoo, which was alright, but they're not as collectable as older Carvins. Carvin has just reissued the V220's again and the X100B amps both recently, but they are pricey.

Tony Fredianelli (of Third Eye Blind) fame sounds VERY similar to Marty Friedman. Check out Apocrypha's "Forgotten Scroll" album which was produced was Marty. Tony's vibrato and note choice are very Friedman-ish...a real rarity since most guys at the time were doing the "Yngwie" thing. Tony still has a little Friedman-esque style in his playing with Turd Eye Blind...weird but true.

That's true, everything has to do with the way a musician plays his intrument, including personality and character. Because of that, nobody plays like the rest, everyone has their own style.

Fucking great, FUCKING GREAT!

@Glutonid Well that's actually a pretty common pattern that Marty tends to use when he is going over a progession(The Ninja, Tornado of Souls[Megadeth]) and it's pretty much just a two string arpeggio with three notes going up and down. I guess Jason just decided to use it while Marty plays rythm.

@GreatDestructo Marty is the one on the left you can tell because of the difference in his picking hand

jason becker the best guitarrist ever

@markcball Agreed 100%, unless someone like Jeff Loomis decided to play power chord songs like Green Day I agree completely. ANd I love this song and its mix between Metal and then that whole Blues solo thing is amazing! And more genres shows off the skills of the guitarist rather than segmenting them to one style! And thats one thing that makes Jason Becker one of my top fav guitarists!

tueja!

The guitar styles of Cacophony and Racer X were very different. Racer X was more hard-rock based with meticulous scale based harmonized passages and a very "American" sound. Cacophony,in comparison, was more in the heavy-metal vein with more of an emphasis on harmonized arpeggio themes and Eastern melodies. Both bands kicked ass. No one sounds like Marty Friedman though...he has a very unique style. A cool video.

Though this is better than no footage at all ...you gotta love the quality. My gaawd it sucks. Too bad they didn`t have a more professional concert video made. Becker and Friedman are awesome guitar players/technicians.

my second jason's song after ... i'll let you guess number one

Man the guy who recorded this sure focused a lot on Marty. That shows how unknown Jason was at the time.

kool statement =]

i'd say Cacophony but they're both insane(4)

Das amazin

You can also tell which one is Marty by the massive perm.

wow imagine what jason becker would sound like if he didnt get ALS(i forget what its called) but music wouldnt be the same as it is today.

So fucking cool

2:57 burrrrrrrrrn

yeah that wasn't very clear was it,, no i LOVE them both, there are/were the 2 greatest guitarist in the world

Tony Macalpine and Jason Becker are the best!

They Mighnt as well throw the GTRs through a Woodchipper at the end of the set . The frets must be warn off right to the fretboard with that kind of blistering playing.... wooha

haha same here. I'm going to learn a few licks from his songs so I can learn from his style of playing and add it to my playing.

Damn, I miss my Carvin V220!

@adamhull1 Yeah I know which is which. Jason is the guy with a beef strat like guitar. Marty is the one with the strange guitar. Actually after looking at the video again. They split it by half.

jason Becker is a god....and im Egyptian by the way so....what the hell....jason rocks...

Marty is a great player, Becker was quite obviously technically more proficient but Marty did teach Jason a lot in terms of style, and vice versa Just enjoy these two fantastic players

Paul Gilbert is pretty damned emotional too >_>
