unlike some guitarists with egos, the fact that Satch doesn't mind sitting down just to make the music perfect make me admire this guy even more

Joe once said in an interview about this song, never write a solo sitting down, because you may not be able play it standing up. That's why he is sitting on a stool for it. Wise advice from a master.

Greatest solo I've heard in a long time. Not only is it insanely fast, but unlike other shredders and non-shredders' solos who just go for speed, it has great melody and sound!

Listening to a genius like Joe motivates me to practice and makes me wanna quit guitar at the same time.

For those wondering why he sits and plays during the solo - he wrote and practiced the solo while sitting down, and he can't play it standing up now. He admitted that he shouldn't have wrote it that way.

No matter how great Marco is: Jeff will always be Joe's best drummer.

This was always my favorite song on the album. The simplicity of the main riff followed by the unbelievable, textual, liquid solo always blew my mind. Seeing it just confirms my belief!

One of Dimebags favourites!

I’ve seen Joe three times. When he follows Steve Vai’s playing and then casually destroys the fretboard like it’s a walk in the park, incredible is an understatement.

amazing. I always wanted to see a live performance of this song and always wondered why they never did it live. This is the only instance I've seen Satch have to sit in an almost classical guitar position to tackle a solo. He played it pretty much note-for-note as it is on the album. KILLER song. thanks for posting.

One of the most difficult songs of Satriani to perform, for songs like this Satriani is and will be the best of the best

That solo is just gold.

The solo blows me away every time.

2:26 For a second, I thought it was Jimi Hendrix drumming in the background XD

You know the solo is good when you have to sit down to play it!

Masterpiece.

My all time favorite piece of JOe Satriani!very fast and heavy!wow!

Surely the best live version I've ever listened to of Crushing day. Ironically it sounds so much better, the solo line so much sharper and not fuzzy and digressing, as the live versions I own on G3 live albums...:-( This live supporting band is amazing, I hope he invites them again. They are spot on. JS is the master.

Joe's tone is just .... perfect!

I've been around his music since i was in the womb thanks to my mum and dad. Yes they went to his show while my mum was pregnant with me :P And yeh, I know what you mean. For me, at least, it's like family in a weird way

One of the most difficult solos to play.

He sits down! No wonder I've never been able to play this - great song, fantastic player. Love and respect to the legend

A solo so difficult even Joe had to sit down.

I'm Speechless... The best without a doubt... And one of his better songs... what a SOLOs!!!!!!!

20 years I haven't listened to it....still in love

This is so awesome. I always liked how Joe works his pinky small finger! Too cute to watch.

Fast fingers and the right hair cut, I’m in love!

people don’t realize his songs are songs. no words, but a bigginihg middle and an end and the songs are in our heads. Love this dude. Thank U Joe!! one OG to another OG! ❤

im shocknggg!!! is so great! i like the how he play the guitar...

first time i listen to joe satriani and i can tell you something, this guy is god

where have you been all my life Joe? this song is awesome!

This song is so hard, seems like even Joe is having a tough time nailing those licks down.

Solo is so powerful, he has to sit down, risk getting a stroke

te amo profesor Satriani❤❤

I love Joe Satriani, he's so goooood...

I can never get enough of this song...killer soloing!

One of my favourite songs x

Every time I see Live Satch, I just think "is simply from another planet".

king of guitar respect

Perfection, one of my favorite tunes. Amazing solo!!!

@Hadsatriani Joe can do what he wants, I think we both agree he's amazing......right?

SATRIANI YOU ARE A GOOOOOOOD GUITAR MASTER YOUR'S SONGS ARE AMAZING

El himno a Gus Rodriguez, saludos hasta donde te encuentres

Top 5 Joe song... great driving song at night.... =)

Satriani is a good mix...a virtuoso, a lot of creativity, melodies, tunes. He has created his own style, like all the greats.

What can I say ? Satch remains the Guitar Master, the authentic guitar hero and the best forever !

Nintendomaniacos reportense 2019 agosto 🥁🎸🤟🏻😀🤘🏻🎸🥁 Si supiera Joe satriani q muchos lo conocemos por q oímos su canción en nintendomania

i love you joe satriani

One of the best rock guitar solos ever...

Bloody hell! There's no wonder he doesn't do that one live very much. Absolutely impossible. And he wrote it!

One of the hardest songs to play in my opinion. Only the master can play it perfect!

I've only just heard of Joe Satriani but I'm converted!

Satriani = The Eternal Guitarist He simply rocks!!! That solo is fucking amazing, Satriani like at his 80%. he is the best ever!! No doubt about it.

when satch plays standing up,he plays the song and adds stuff to it like bends or whammy bar.when he sits down,he's playing it technically.which means that he feels like he does in the studio sitting down.

le suena como si fuera en estudio, en varias cesiones, masterisado, editado, y todo, no se equivoca y las melodías son geniales

Joe,master at what he is doing!!!

What an amazing guitarist - and person. I had the chance to meet him once after a concert and he was so nice and obviously very intelligent.

I love how he needs to sit down for this

It's the DVD that came with the Professor satchafunkilus CD, which contains: The making of Professor Satchafunkilus... Surfing with the alien (live) Ice 9 (live) Crushing day (live) Behind the scenes in LA & SF The opproximate running time is 40 minutes.

Saw them perform live @ the Bronco Bowl. He threw out pics to the crowd. Never seen anything like it, still have over 200 songs spread across the CD's. Talent beyond belief, none of his music will ever hit my Ipod or Droid phone, this dude and his band deserve that! And I will never ever steal his songs, copyrights he has earned. I feel guilty even sharing these videos~

He NAILED this song.

Joe at his best ! Awesome Joe

This song is so radically awesome in every single aspect it's ridiculous..!

Joe, finally look like that 'Surfing' album cover! Lucky you man!!

Love you Mr. Satriani....

Simply the best...

Absolutely wonderful, creativeand Joe Satriani!!!

The master at his office!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah!!

Joe you are my hero!!!

I sometimes forget how bloody good Joe is. I had to sit down to watch that lol.

A beauty to behold

Absolutely great 👍 Satriani

This track feels so good, crank it up.

i was listning to this back in 86

I love joe satriani.. Quite possibly greatest guitarest ever. Definately best at what he does.

purely amazing!

Simply Genius. Love it.

lol even joe needs to sit down to play that shredfest! Cool how it goes from small room to concert quite inspiring.

In an interview Joe staid that he sits because he wrote and recorded the song sitting. Since he slings his axe low (to look cool as he said) he had a hard time playing it standing. Hes still a God. Even God has to sit.

Wow, this is the 1st piece by Satriani I've ever learned, back in '90 I believe....and he's still got it!

A blessed genius

escuchando esta gran rola, ahora que nuestro buen gus rodriguez se nos fue

This is gotta be his best creation!!

Dave LaRue on bass, enough said. I’ve seen him with Joe, Petrucci, Morse, the Dreggs, Travis Larson, opening for the Aristocrats, and solo in small clubs, simply the best. His Jaco covers are phenomenal. And Bach, why not.

Joe Satriani is the only Joe Satriani I would ever trust to play such a "Joe Satriani" solo.

He loves his guitar....

That's got to be the best solo ever

Joe Rules and all the musicians ofc with him!

Trop fort monsieur satriani Merci

I'd die to be as happy as his guitar.

One of his very best speed pieces!! Thanks for the upload!

he is so good!

joe satriani...my master guitar...

"Never write a song when you're sitting down, you might not be able to play it standing up" - Satch.

i just love how when that amazing solo at the end comes on they dont show him playing even half of it. besides that minor setback in the video i say that satch is a guitar god and this is one incredible song/performance

I fucking LOVE this song!!!! It is so amazing that he can still play those lead lines so well and he is in his 50's. I hope he and guys like Vai can play well for as long as they desire to.

Incredible as always , I’m a guitarist as well and am blown away by the solo , wow , ridiculous Joe king of melodic fast solos . Also you all should check out Damian Salazar guitarist , this guy is unbelievable , he is no Joe , but man that kid can fly on the guitar

the drumming is so perfect to,

Joe is master of the master!!! I love this gitar!!! ♥️♥️🎸🎸🎸

JOE LOVES THE GUITARS WITH HIS HUMAN HEART
