Steve Vai is a Living Legend ! I LoVE His Music ,Very !

The Finest Jazz Rock i EVER hear . Steve Vai Got it !

Awesome. I don't know if he ever includes this song live any longer. One of my P&W favourites.

thanks for posting, its always cool to see huge guitar icons before they became famous

Wow! I can't believe he only put this song into his albums 6 years later. :( Incredible song! Thanks a lot for posting.

MIT demo 1984...I had a vhs copy of this in 1990...good to see it up on youtube

who knew this would be the prelude of such great things to come.

84'....this was the year vai release his first album. Flex-able. That year marked history.

hahah his phrasing is so outta this world! i love it hah

awesome!

take this kind of playing as an inspiration !!!!

This is so cool this is before jem wow didn`t know hehad writen this then good version

Now, this is old school!

only steve vai could make fender sound good

He had already made it,but it didnt appear in Flexable.This is way before Passion and wafare.

I have this entire clinic at GIT on VHS

@IbanezMS1995 not steve's first guitar, his first guitar was a green one with a mini humbucker in the midle

Wish he still played like this.

@IbanezMS1995 except for the fact that HSS guitars with floating trems didn't exist when he was 14...

Steve played at Musician Institute 1984.

This has to be where Frusciante got his Hippies inspiration from. Yep, problem solved.

WOW. this is so awesome. th etechnology and amps n stuff are so old and primitive in terms of vais sound. but the insane-ness and amazing ideas are there. vai is god, i seriously wouldnt be surprised if he was an alien or some shit

@TheMetalGuy852 I agree but really i wouldnt even compare them because they are both different styles of music

@hottjbazaz Just search for 'steve vai GIT', if you haven't already found it.

passion and warfare was in 1990 but this is from 84 so that song wait a lot to come out, i also hear some of answers to the end.. does any body know anything about this show???

what’s the rhythm section on this

genius

How did you get this video?

yeah man, thats a weird moment!

seeing Vai play on a Fender seems kinda weird despite the fact that he used then all the time with Zappa. i guess im just used to seeing him with Ibanez

This is so amazing! I'd love to be there.. =P Answers @ 3:02 hehe

the backing band is Stu hamm on bass... and who's on drums??

@paindeer you realise that riff is a major part of Answers, right?

steve vai play a fender guitar!!!

The guitar isn't a fender it's a fake of one the logo is just very fenderlike, the font is the same and the brand starts with an f as well I remember seeing it on a site with all the guitars Steve has ever owned

Is this steve'band 777?

End of the run starting at 1:07 he wants that climb on the whammy but he didn’t invent it yet!

woooow, how does sumone get hold of this stuff

@IbanezMS1995 how u know?

Even though he does some crazy stuff with the noises and whammying there is still a lot of small detail to every little bit, even just how he goes about melody. Besides maybe Cesar Huesca, I don't think anyone I've seen on youtube can cover his songs with the same attention to detail.

All happens at 3:03 Can live there forever. Been there, AM there, never will LEAVE there 3:03 in this video. Check it out. My god Mantra - yes

@craneo2099 Probably Chris Frazier..

Woa, compared to what ended up on the Passion and Warfare record, this stuff sounds REALLY bad! But nevertheless very interesting to watch. Thanks a lot for posting it!

@craneo2099 They're busy playin with people. Stu Hamm plays with Joe Satriani.

I SWEAR TO GOD Frame 0:05 FREEZE it Steve IS Frank I SWEAR TO GOD I've put this on a t-shirt It's FRANK man Telling you.

O Man that is root

I had this on VHS once a long time ago and some asshole stole it from me. I bet this tape was copied so many times from just one master. I love his Martian Jazz and the fact that he is still just as freaky and zany today.

I saw him play that guitar once and he had it covered in harcore porn chick pics! What a road to travel!? An all-American Badass!

@JohnJamesMaloney ill second that:)

Very Very GOOD !!! WHERE AND WHEN PLEASE ??? I can't find info ! Tkx ! STEVE POWER !!!!!!

GIT

@believin13 They're busy playin with people. Stu Hamm plays with Joe Satriani.

@MrStevelah No,,,,8

shit steve vai was boring back in the days

haha the end of the tape is like tripping balls !
