Steve Vai Tickets

A little loud at times, but an amazing artist. Loved his fingers. His ability to work the crowd was fantastic.

Vai stood out with his Master peace solos just to be overshadowed by Malmsteen with his style and elegance.... Zakk Wylde playing NIB got the audience into a frenzy and Bettencourt's Acoustic Solo left all of us Spell Bound - Abasi the new kid on the Block was excellent too .... All in all Guitaring Gods descended on Earth from Hell !!!! Massey Hall has one of the Best Acoustics in the World when it come to Concert Halls - Even the Great Joe Satriani said Massey Hall is his favorite venue and he would pay to see Steve Vai perform here !!!

If you like guitar players, this was the place to be. I was impressed by them all but especially Nuno Bettencourt who not only played his ass off but showed he had a great sense of humor as well - chatting with the crowd and telling very funny stories.

This show was unbelievable from start to finish. An amazing lineup of incredible musicians. It was an incredible show of talent and sitting up close and personal made it that much more worth every penny spent. To have these hugely talented guys in one show was just something I will never forget.

Generation Axe was a great idea - hopefully we will see additional performances with various guitarists in the future! Tosin Abasi is an amazing player, adding a new and different dimension to guitar playing with his eight-string technique. I had heard about Nuno Bettencourt back in the 80's from the band Extreme - now I have a better idea of the depth of his talent. I have to say that Zack Wylde did not impress me as the others did - he is a good player, but his extended solos do not feel very inspired - I thought the riffs were kinda shallow. To be far, I did like his acoustic work on Book of the Dead II. Yngwie Malmsteen is still a master of neoclassical shred. His technique is amazing, however the "posing" gets a bit tiresome, and a bit laughable at this stage. Steve Vai - what can one say about one of the greatest guitarists around? Amazing set, amazing technique. In my mind, perhaps second only to Joe Satriani, altough Steve Vai's work seems even more "out there" at times. Overall great show. My ears did fine, except when Zack Wylde came out with his overamplified (?) extended riffage. Only then did I wish I had brought some hearing protection. Believe me, I have been to a LOT of concerts, and at my age, sometimes I need it! TTYL

It's great to see five of the greatest musicians in a single show, great venue, Amazing Vai, Zakk, Nuno, Tosin Absi is out of this world, but Malmsteen, as the great guitar master he is, has become "noisy". But, a great concert, it was worth to see all of them

Very awesome performance by all members!! Love Steve Vai!!

every guitarist on that stage was phenomenal but I was disappointed that Steve Vai only played 2 of his songs. :( I think that they should have cut Zakk Wylde and Yngvie by 10 minutes so that Steve could have played more songs. But.... it was an incredible concert. everyone killed it

There's no mistaking the incredible talents and skill of each artist performing wednesday night. Each player has the ability to fill a concert hall. Unfortunately, sheer blistering finger speed wears thin after about an hour.

Generation Axe just rocked Massey. Right from beginning to end. These incredible guitar players had you wanting more and absolutely played from their heart. The talent was unbelievable. I am in awe of the love of playing these guys show. Vai, Wylde and Battencourt are just insane!!

It was an awesome show. Zakk Wild needs to learn that 20 minutes solo's just get old fast. It awesome when all of the guitar masters played together. It would have been a five star if the whole show was them playing together, maybe with a couple the masters songs independently (not 20 minute shreds). Nuno was wayyyyyyyyyy better than I thought that he would be, he stole the show, had the most applause, and people seemed to like what he was playing the best. I would recommend seeing the show, but i woulld not go again, unless they change their format.

Saw Steve at Casino Rama Nov 8 2013. AMAZING show!! Plays outstanding, Would see him again for sure!

My wife and I saw Steve Vai for the first time and thoroughly loved it. Being big guitar Jazz fans and having seen players such as Al Dimeola and Pat Meheny several times it was very nice to go and see a player who rastes up there with the best Jazz players in the world. We did not expect the showmanship he puts out which was an added bonus, i can see what frank Zappa saw in him all those years, we thank you Steve Vai, even at 56 years of age young it frickin rocked!! Dave and Terry Webb!!

Very good guitarist but his type of music is nit for me.

Saw Steve Vai at Casino Rama 11/8 and what a fantastic show. The entire show was filled with bombastic guitar and lighthearted bits of Steve humour. A must see for all guitarists. Hope to see G 3 back soon as well.

I've seen Steve Vai a few times now, and every time I see him, the show is better and better. I don't know exactly what it is, but I enjoyed every single moment. The night rushed through so fast, I was stunned when he said just 2 more songs! The back drop was his cover art for his latest albumn. The band was Dave Weiner on guitar, Philip Binoe on bass and Jeremy on drums. Just a fantastic band, skill beyond all belief!!! Steve's music is from the heart containing such soul and emotion. Some of the highlights were Steve's space costume, Jeremy's potable drum kit, and of course the guitar dialing between Steve and Dave, and the crowd involvement on writing a new song was fun... simply an amazing show! It is a true testament of a performers art, that the moment I got home and all the next day, I worked on my own guitar riffs inspired by such magical and enlightening display of guitar playing at its very best.

Last Friday's appearance of Steve Vai at the Commodore was nothing short of amazing. His band including regulars Dave Weiner(lead and rhythm guitars)and Jeremy Colson(Drums)were at the top of their game as usual. Can't remember the bassist's name but he was definitely in the pocket all night. Plus Deborah(again not sure of her last name)on electric harp was a pleasant surprise(that is when you could hear her-she was drowned out mostly by Steve and Dave's guitars). Overall the band was in perfect sync throughout the 2 and 3/4 hour show. Biggest highlight of the night was during "The Ultra Zone" where Steve comes out in a space superhero outfit with flashing lights and lasers on his fingers plus a weird but cool looking futuristic guitar. Vai is still truly one of the best rock guitarists around and I would highly recommend seeing him!

Like my title says, Steve Vai never ceases to entertain me. A complete show of guitar virtuosity, style, spirituality and humor. The complete experience. Just awesome !!!

I saw steve back in 2007. His show was amazing then and he has lost absolutly nothing. One of the most creative entertainers out there dripping with tallent and surrounded by a very talented band. He never disappoints. Van Halen and Axle Rose can learn from him!!!

My fourth time watching him and it was still amazing. Good varied setlist from across his many albums, luckily I had great seats in the 8th row aisle. Band was great too, Dave Weiner as always is a steady rhythm player, Philip Bynoe and Jeremy Colson were great together. Harp player was decent too.
