Birthday Satch!
17 years ago
General
So with my upcoming birthday on the 11th, my mother decided to commemorate my 22nd year on this Earth with tickets to my very, very favorite guitar god, Joe Satriani. It was my third time seeing him, and I've never been disappointed by this man. He is an inspiration to all who play and a humble, likeable guy on top of that. The show was beyond fantastic and I had a great time.
But something happened at the beginning that made this one different.
You see, Mountain (yes, that Mountain, with the Mississippi Queen and the you know what I mean) opened for Satch this time. Which, I was just thinking "Where the hell did you guys crawl out of all the sudden?" Three songs into their set, I'm eating my words and loving every minute of it. But suddenly something happened. At the end of the third song, their drummer knocked over a cymbal. Leslie West, being a concerned- if very old- lead singer, turns around and walks toward his side of the stage...
... Trips on a cable, and totally eats shit right on stage. Yes, this old man from a time I wasn't even born for, this legend of rock, falls flat on his face in front of hundreds of people. Three roadies pick the man up and replace his guitar. He recovers with,
"Sorry, that was part of the show.
Eh. I'm a fuckin' klutz."
Flips open the shade lenses on his glasses.
"Oh! NOW I can see!"

and I'm glad he came back so well from that xD;
also, happy birfdeh since ill forget like i always do ;~;
And I hope Satriani played Robot Dreams. That's always been my favorite after Summer Song.
probably hurt less than jamming the guitar into your teeth!
Well honestly I'm not surprised, older performers seem to live in this zone where they are (almost) impossible to phase. If they were not enjoying themselves they would have faded earlier. :c
Kidding. I love that song, and props to him for the great recovery.
Happy early birthday, Nori!
... straight into another guy.
Bad Nori.
You donged his bumper.
dinged*.
and that sounds like it was a funny and marvelous time.
Have a Happy Birthday
