Now that we are offtopic, this guy was a hero of mine for a long time

I still have a Pick, which he throw away towards the audience at the end of a concert in Germany many years ago, and i was the lucky guy who snaped it away

Arash, this is also off topic but he was a hero of mine too. I saw Joe in concert twice while I was living in England. Awesome. I always preferred him to Steve Vai. I also used to love the tones Eric Johnson squeezed out of his strat (especially Cliffs of Dover and Manhattan). It seems we have some of the same tastes... Sorry about hijacking the thread.

Steve Vai was cool too, but there was too much going on in his compositions and you were like bombarded with notes
whereas Satriani had some haunting compositions with fewer notes but more feeling. So, yes, i prefered Satriani too.
And what really surprised me was that in the concert he was and sounded even better than on the CD!
Normally i expected the oppositie because in the Studio you can do a lot of things to record perfect but in Satrianis case
it was the opposite. i was really positively surprised!
Patrick Rondat or Tony Macalpine were also good too and many others (i had many CDs from E-Solo-guitarists at that time).
I sold them all on ebay after switching to flamenco.

That was like 2 years ago. His brother died recently...hopefully it won't depress him too much but rather inspire him to conjur up some new music for us.

I do hope you are right Ricardo , his elder brother Ramon de Algeciras was at his side on tour for many years, as well as being a well respected guitarist in his own right. May he rest in piece. Paco has written pieces to departed friends before, for example the Rondena 'Camaron'.

Yeah, he can still do it!

Check out his Milano peformance from the same year. Fandango is amazing, check out the picados at the end:
