Steve Vai: 'Where The Wild Things Are

It is almost time for guitar legend Steve Vai to release his concert film and live CD Where The Wild Things Are on September 29th, 2009 [Favored Nations Records]. The show was recorded and filmed at the State Theatre in Minneapolis, MN before a sold-out audience as part of Vai’s successful Sound Theories world tour.

The 2 hour and 40 minute set contains several new tracks and re-orchestrated pieces culled from his rich catalog. His guitar-wielding extravaganza in "The Murder" is an artistic performance piece that must be seen to be believed.

Recently Vai was awarded an honorary Doctor of Music degree from Musicians Institute in Hollywood as well as receiving a Lifetime Achievement award on his visit to Brasov, Romania to appear at the Cerbul De Aur (Golden Stag) Festival. This is truly the year of Vai.
