NOTES:

Here's a superb concert captured of Joe Satriani's live FM broadcast on WKLS 96.1 FM (96 Rock) in Atlanta, Georgia in 1988.  These were still the days of great, full concerts being played live in cities where an artist played and especially if a show sold out.  I don't think that happens much if at all nowadays.  But it use to a lot when FM radio still ruled the day.

Satriani was touring right between his 1987 release of Surfing With The Alien and his 1989 release of Flying In A Blue Dream at this point.  I think for many people, myself included, 1987 was when I first heard of Joe Satriani.  And like many others I rushed to buy the cassette tape (and later upgrade to a CD) Surfing With The Alien.  I loved the rock and roll music with no lyrics and just flat out jamming.  It was definitely something new and different and it wasn't a glamor rock, hair band release like everything else coming out seemed to be at that time.  I'm not saying both styles didn't have their great songs.  It was just that I personally wanted something different, not pop driven, and Satriani was putting out the music you could crank up in your car and drive and listen to.  And I did that in my Chevelle a lot too,  I was jamming on Satriani and Whitesnake a lot in 1987 on my Sony car stereo and cassette deck with a great speaker setup I had installed just the previous year.  I wanna go back!
