Joe SatrianiArriving in Nottingham we easily found the theatre and parked in the bowels of the underground car park just a small hop skip & jump from the Royal Centre. The venue was filling up nicely. We were ushered to our seats while on stage Ned Evett..... was belting it out. I say "It" as It" was a kind of cross between Jimi Hendrix on a very bad hair day and a cat getting its tail slammed in a door! After reading rave reviews of Ned Evett's guitar playing using a fretless! glass necked guitar! I was ready to be impressed.....sadly not the case!...The 3 piece band looked like a ramshackle bunch of roadies the guitarist having had a perm just to finalise the Hendrix connection. The connection stopped there, dead! The volume was too high to scare mice! so we only got the occasional lyric.The histrionics on the fretboard soon paled into tedium/boredom and the question why!....Ned can obviously play the guitar but perhaps his style would be more suited to his bedroom rather than us having to endure his fantasies..There was no connection with the audience, nothing left the stage!..and boy were we glad when Ned finally left the stage.We eagerly awaited Joe Satriani.(7th rated guitarist in the world!) Roadies having done their stuff it was show time. Joe pranced on stage in a t-cosy hat to a wonderful backdrop of lighting effects which certainly gave the venue some atmosphere. He played a hybrid guitar with hi-output pick-ups to allow climbers on Everest to hear him! Joe had a rhythm guitarist, bass & drummer who were accomplished and backed him well. Sadly after the first metalic sounding barrage we thought perhaps the sound might change..no...Joe was relentless in giving us the full might of his guitar with full treble!......he is a very accomplished player and plays with all 4 fingers but as with Ned earlier it was all for Joe!......there was not much magic leaving the stage ! His style is very very fluid but why does he have to put the squirrell wails at the end of many of his guitar licks ?.....after just 6 numbers we had enough...........trapped in a our centre stage seats we hung our heads as we made everyone stand to squeeze past. Was it just us among 2000 folk?..sorry Joe but at £66 for two tickets hell seemed a better option! The fresh evening air was a relief. We had not died ! |
