Great feel to this! The intro has equal parts Radiohead and Opeth!

Steve Vai is ON FIRE! playing on a noisy ass Marshall! The Alien kept up though! This was the show of the photo I saw in guitar magazine! HELL YEAH!

Geez, they did a song from Passion and Warfare, (can’t remember the tune) Seems like Joe was well versed because he complimented perfectly!

That was an amazing vocal performance!

Really awesome! Love everything about it!

Beautiful ♥

Getting "Mr Big" vibes from the singer and 3 piece arrangement, very nice.

Great performance!

That prototype sounds and looks amazing. If Yamaha were looking to dispose of it, then I'd gladly pay for delivery. I believe that Gibson has a Reverb site where they sell off design prototypes . I wish Yamaha did something similar.

Guitar of the year🎉 Pasifica612 is extraordinary guitar, Great playing broo🙌🙌

Stu ham

Was that hum the vhs

You write wonderful pieces

Headphones???

Steve is obviously an attention hog. Joe and Stu were both nice enough to pull it altogether with very cool rhythm and backing.

This is beautiful.

It is so awesome that Vai learned the basics from Joe and they've been close friends since their early teens.

It's remarkable just how little amplification you really need when your bandmate(s) know how to control their own volume within reason. Fabulous playing from both of you! Hey, do you find the fan noise of the Micro VR head to be a problem for at home playing?

Bless Joe with his hair

Slash was still the best guitarist

Pure Gold!!😊

They skill actually never increase. Just creativity and the fans

Slayer in that years sounds much more interesting. This is something boring

Make it stop

G2 from back then :P

Compared with music, this was rubbish! Unless the audience was on something, in which case they might have loved it! 😱

Back in the day so to speak. You just don't see this kind of talent these days, this kind of vibe, unless I'm missing someone? This is really nice to hear. It's cool because the bassist is jamming to the drummer, and Steve and Joe are playing off each other.

Something tells me those guys got a future... Wonder whatever happened to those two 🤔

Does anyone think that sounds beautiful?

고마워요 귀한 영상 ❤

I didnt think the Floral Jem was even out in 87 but this does look like the one off for Steve with the pyramid inlays vs the normal tree of life on production models. The Jem he was showing off at the shows debut for the Jem series was pink.

Ladies and gentlemen Joe Vai and Steve Satriani:P Seriously what a gem, they're both experimenting. They have a very different sound, though they're already masters. Thank you for posting!

Budweiser sponsoring this performance 😂 “This Bud’s for you!”

Vai is amazing, nobody has his stage presence.

WOW‼️‼️😮 😮……….this jam mean a lot. I bet that many people at that time didn’t put so much attention to this jam. This is an example of how many guitars 🎸 players were roaming around the world at that time ( 1987) from old bands to new bands. From blues- jazz to Metal, Heavy Metal-Trash Metal- Dark Metal the 80’s was the best decade. After all this years (45) listening rock music is difficult for me to say or analyze who was better than the others because the chase was on. All of them were/ are competing to be the best and I have to say thank you to all. Some of them died/ Ill in their careers, some of them didn’t were so lucky with the Media, some of them didn’t catch the attention of the audience. In one way or in another they put flavors in the life of many fans around the world through the years. All of them performed and still rocking. This is epic Thank you so much for sharing this with me

Thanks for the old clip of this awesome jam fest , when the teachers jams with his student, Love Joe & Steve playing together have a nice collection of them playing together over the many years on my channel , great sound by two guitar masters, and Stu and his bass playing is amazing the 3 together are mezmerising , Thanks for this video

Thank you for sharing hope you are well God loves you deeply shalom 🤗🐼♥️✝️💐 Philippians 4:8

When I saw Vai plugging into that tiny Marshall I remembered Stuart Hamm in the 90's telling us the story about how nobody wanted to lend their amp to Vai at music school when they were young because Vai had the bad reputation of blowing every speakers up so loud he would always play 🤣🤣🤣

This is when the EVH era ended. I remember it very vividly.

I like to play the guitar.

Kakophonia , can't hear any music ,only noise 🤷

Terrible Sound ,endless noodling, Feedback , controlled or accidental,,constant hum from Lack of earthed Marshall Amps 🤪and they have the best Sound Crew working for them ? Shredding at all costs IS No music ..high gain..more gain ,more delay, more compression..Jeff Beck and His Team would kill all of them for breakfast 🤨

I remember when pictures from this jam were published in one of the guitar magazines back in 87... I was 17, and took a printing class in high school. I can't remember how it was done (pre Photoshop) but I got one of the pics of Steve hovering over Joe, both guys jamming, and I was able to make all the outlined details of the guys (and their guitars) white, and I printed it on a black t-shirt with the caption "It must be something in the water". It was my favorite shirt, and I often stared at that photo wondering what that show sounded like... at 54, it's a bit obnoxious to the ear - Two guys throwing the kitchen sink at each other, in unison... but my 17 year old self probably would have loved it... LOL. Thanks for finally giving sound to the images I fawned over for 36 years.

top draw as always, nice one mate!

Gucan flat play but this is noise .

The time that Steve was a 24 youngster and Joe had a hair piece...... magic! 🪨

Joe-Vai! Hands down, the greatest guitar duo if the 20th/21st century! Two virtuoso guitar-bros making the best sense of modern day guitar music.

Steve Vai: I’m the best John Petrucci: yes

that baas guys gotta go lol
