 Steve Vai String Theory Saw the show last night at the University of Buffalo and whatta show it was! 4 hours total with opening act and set change. Steve has a new band and they are very much up to the task of keeping up with Steve. This year he added 2 violinists that were amazing to say the least. Steve played for just shy of 3 hours. The opening act was a kid named Zack Weisinger. He was really a treat to see. 6'-2" tall and lanky, with a kind of geeky stage presence that was really funny. He had a great personality and sense of humor and his guitar playing was original and entertaining. I would say that Frank Zappa and Danny Gatton had a kid and he is Zack! Go see them if you get a chance!

| There was a small movie in the 80s called Crossroads with some fun blues and guitar. Steve Vai plays the Devil's guitarist for the battle for souls in the climax. I also really like Joe Satriani's guitar work. He was Vai's teacher in the 70s. Phil |

| I remember Crossroads well; play the tape all the time. It actually is a story about the search for one of Robert Johnson's "missing" songs, and selling one's soul to the devil (which Johnson supposedly did). Pretty good flick. Getting to be time to rent it again. |
