“Tender Surrender” Stev Vai live at Chicago Theater 4.18.2024

[@DanielVerberne]

Lost my beloved father aged 72 years old last year. While I was always the Steve Vai fan, he also really liked Vai, especially this piece. Miss you Dad. The fact that many loves of my life endure, including Steve Vai; makes me very happy.

[@maciejsniezynski4057]

My father 76 old loves me and Vai too. He is still alive. My condolence and greetings from Poland

[@josem2558]

Este hombre hace musicoterapia.a mi me ayudó a superar la muerte de mi mujer.la vida es dura,golpea con fuerza. Me nos mal que tenemos música.

[@DiegoMereu-mc2ov]

Your father is listening Vai in another dimension 🙂

[@EvandroReis-ju8uj]

meus sentimentos, sei q faz muita falta msm, o meu também já perdi. Stive vai lenda viva!

[@johnaronis7539]

Hi mate, I'm sorry for your loss,God rest his soul and God bless you and your family.

[@DanielVerberne]

Wow, one of the best renditions of 'Tender' I've seen Steve play! Just fantastic!

[@davidbrucemusicvideo]

I was going to to say the exact same thing! I think it’s actually the best I’ve ever seen him play this!

[@redhobbit7765]

Agreed.

[@Cheximus]

@@davidbrucemusicvideo lol... cmon. Are you deaf? So many bum notes. Still, the passion is there, if that's what you think is important.

[@ron3142]

Lost my dear Son Jack .... This makes me feel happy again.... Jack was a cool professional drummer and Skate boarder, miss you Jack xxx ....

[@chaggy90]

This is a beautiful song 🫂

[@Pablitto62]

Как же это прекрасно!!!

[@akasgsvirgil9503]

Steve Vai is one of those rare musicians that no matter what point he's at in his career, he's always moving upward, never backwards. In other words, no one will ever say that "Steve Vai's best work is behind him". The only guitar player I can think of who is more emotive with a better feel is the late great SRV. Truly rare company.

[@Pablitto62]

SRV не лучший...Стив!!!

[@Joseywalesmaga]

My favorite vai tune 🎸🔥

[@KT-is7mc]

Great job recording this. Guy doesn't miss a beat all these years later.

[@ScottWilliams-v9b]

When you can feel it while you're playing it, you're onto something special

[@AnamauCaracas]

ufffff one of the very best guitar player of all times my respect to the sensei Steve Vai forever

[@paull1033]

This guy is so incredibly overrated…

[@Renekor]

Tony Macalpine is better

[@johnnyblade3226]

Steve is one of the best there are many more​ Gary Moore , Roy Buchanan , Randy Rhodes, SRV , Rory Gallagher , Ritchie blackmore , jimi page oh yes and Roy clark

[@R0CKFaC3]

This was the first Vai song I learned all the way thru back when I was an up-n-coming guitarist.

[@johnuruski651]

Dude!! If you can play this masterpiece then post it…. There are only a selected few on the planet that can do so.,,

[@inspiritr8]

Steve, I know you already know this. But I need to say it. You are a genius, with capital G.

[@rocanrolafx2179]

I'm glad to see you with new spirits again Mr Steve Vai!!!!

[@agdaoliveira7455]

Artista Maravilhoso...Super...Humilde... Sou Brasileira...de São Paulo...Capital. Tive à oportunidade de assistir um show deste "Maravilhoso " Músico e Pessoa ", onde, infelizmente à guitarra dele teve problema...precisou parar o show...Foi tão gentil...educado...e, quando voltou... Simplesmente Um Show de Arrassar... Muito obrigada Steve Vai...pela oportunidade de assistir seu Super Show... Agda São Paulo Brasil

[@michaelthompson3286]

Wow! He's playing as well as ever, sounds absolutely fantastic 👏🏼

[@boogeyman44868]

Seen this guy 10 times now, twice with DLR the best guitarist on the planet hands down

[@Vizzie87]

This was the song that got me to play guitar, i got my first guitar within a week after hearing this :) thanks for that

[@chaggy90]

The best 🤘🏾❤️‍🔥

[@Lascarnn]

OH MY GOD he's in such good shape! I didn't knew! I loved this, he still puts his 100% into the music, the face, moves, etc. At the same time showing sense of humour and generally being easy-going. Last time I was looking for Tender Surrender live and it wasn't that good. Thanks for upload!

[@leemichaels406]

The best composer of our time...

[@terrellovett4940]

Smooth and sweet😊

[@halnit777]

What a song!!

[@utubesurfing]

A touch of pure brilliance Mr Vai, respect!

[@GRR299]

Steve WOW!!!

[@RoadyPacking-CyclingAdventures]

[@dfhomemadestudio]

Amazing , incredible

[@mayamax3d]

[@tinkiwinkixeraser]

[@stevesummers3921]

@ 2.08 till 2.16 is one beautiful question and answer lic!!!!! Man I thought Jim Carrey had the facial expressions 😅 "Total respect to you Mr Vai",we getting to see your emotion in every lic, is truly inspiring.

[@DavidBurridge]

Good lord I am speechless! Had tickets to see Steve awhile back, unfortunately got sick and couldn’t make it.

[@MarteDelaPaz-o7w]

Great wonderful sounds.. smooth and tender...wow

[@ericgelders]

Not of this earth 😯😉 Looks like he makes some involuntary space-time-shift 3:11😂, and the deaf can hear this track too!

[@johnuruski651]

Saw this guy, my guitar hero on the G3 with Satch and Eric in LA 5 months ago and actually was not surprised for he, at his age is one of the selected few that can still bring it as if it was 1995 again. Once he, his counterparts finally retire i am in a disconnect of who is left…. It’s not by accident tho… He and others his age that can still shred are not, and were never the coke sniffing, boozing, and trashing their bodies musicians…. It was all about the music first and not the drugs and substance abuse…. That’s why this guy at his age can still pull off what he does but it took alot of reservations not to get hung up with that scene….. I applaud him and all like him that basically said…. NO!!

[@Nick--Name]

He not accept weed? )

[@johnuruski651]

He does accept weed👍

[@Nick--Name]

weed like a fun vitamin?)

[@mattyobrown]

[@youropionmattersnot]

Ill never understand while some people hate Steve Vai yet I understand why some people hate him. Personally one of my favorites.

[@thomasmorse5175]

I’d be embarrassed to have this comment up if I were you. Makes absolutely zero sense.

[@maxwell-style4584]

Awesomeness!

[@RQH781]

Awesomeness. That's all you got . Better than nothing. I guess

[@ezraezra3130]

숨을 못쉬겠네. 숨 참고 보느라 어후 끝나고 과호흡이...

[@RQH781]

Awesomeness. I might have to try that sometime

[@대연동꼬스똘라니]

기타리스라기보다 스티브 바이는 예술가다.

[@mallolollo]

magia

[@ks-op9qf]

うますぎる

[@nancydevolder4433]

Steve doesn't play guitar, he breathes guitar.

[@kennyyoung4989]

Cool as fuck

[@파천마J]

기타에게 오르가즘을 선물하는 남자

[@sheldoncooper8199]

This is worlds better then the CD Version. Probably the Only Guitar Player that gets better with age. And Eric Johnson.

[@marcogrella]

That face at 1:38 is priceless. 🤣🤣🤣

[@NizarOdeh85]

Steve Vai is turning into Ronnie Wood 😄 Great playing!

[@josem2558]

JIMI HENDRIX. EDDIE VAN HALEN STEVE VAI. LOS DEMAS ESTAN ENTRE MEDIO.........🤘😎🤘

[@JimGardner]

He's playing better than he has done in a long time. No. Let me rephrase that. He's playing better live than he's ever played live.

[@guyriccardi1187]

My Favorite thing you've ever done! But you didn't play it at the concert in my hometown. WHY?! SO disappointing...

[@mikemorgan4774]

Virtuosity doesn't really cover it does it?

[@edhalen]

Put that in a time capsule and title it what the electric guitar is capable of.

[@LeonardoPiccoli-vb8go]

😂😂😂Drum is crazy😂😂😂

[@GuitarZombie]

one could call it Villanova Junction ??....

[@williambenglish]

Steve is so awesome just wish he still used the tubed heads. Seems like something is missing.

[@Sfbaytech]

My goodness this was great! I think it’s because it’s his old Jem tbh. Not a fan of Pia. Something about this one is magical! ❤

[@TruthSurge]

:14 he slid up one fret too many with his pinky.

[@lebavu8260]
