He plays every year if not every other year.
I have seen him at the paramount and the Moore theater .
The promoters suck in seattle.
You have to be looking or you'll miss it.
Andy Timmons is another, as well as Eric Johnson , and Joe Satriani.
I just missed Michael Scenker .
Did not know he was coming until it was sold out.
There is a cool live video where Steve Vai is playing and lools out and sees Andy Timmons in the audience.
He comes over and hands his guitar to Andy who plays a solo as Steve cheers him on.
When I met Andy last year I asked him about it.
He laughed and said it was unplanned and Steve did not know he was there.
Andy's wife had left to go to the bathroom and had him hold her water for her when she got back he was done she missed it and her water was lost.
Super cool and humbe guy !
He's the best. At the height of Led Zepplin's Jimmy Page was asked by Rolling Stone Magazine or someone like them what is was like to be the best guitarist in the world. His response was "I don't know, ask Jeff Beck".
