Joe Satriani Is Bringing G3 Back To Vegas For 25th Anniversary

The American rock guitarist and songwriter is bringing his concert tour, called G3, back to Sin City to celebrate their 25th anniversary. Satriani has six gold and platinum discs to his credit, according to satriani.com. He has performed with some of the biggest bands in history. Including The Greg Kihn Band, Deep Purple, and the supergroup Chickenfoot.

Satriani founded G3 in 1995. It's a series of concert tours where he performs with two other iconic guitarists in various cities. In his years as a G3 member, Satriani has played with musicians including Steve Vai (Frank Zappa, Whitesnake), Steve Morse (Deep Purple), and Michael Schenker (Scorpions). He has also worked with Steve Lukather (Toto), Neal Schon (Journey), Brian May (Queen), Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top).

The last time that G3 played in Las Vegas was in 2018. When Satriani brought Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen and Dream Theater's John Petrucci with him to the Brooklyn Bowl at the Linq Promenade.

Satriani did come back to Vegas earlier this year, for "Joe Satriani's G4 Experience V6.0". It was a 4-day event at the Hilton Las Vegas Resort. Guitarists of all skill levels attended various activities and workshops and got to jam with fellow music-lovers. Peter Frampton, Steve Lukather and more names were billed as participants.

Now Satriani is coming back to Las Vegas! He'll be performing at the Location Westgate Resort International Theatre on Jan 27, 2024. The "G3 Reunion Tour" will once again feature Satriani, Eric Johnson and Steve Vai. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased here. Other shows will also  be included on the tour in Arizona, California, Washington, and Oregon.

Get ready for a rocking good time!

Ringo Starr and his All Starr Band are coming to Las Vegas. And tickets are selling out fast. They'll be doing three shows in May at the Venetian Theatre at the Venetian Resort Las Vegas.

And when he says "All Star(r) Band", Ringo isn't kidding. He's bringing a whole lot of talent with him to these shows. Let's break down the line up.

First, we have Steve Lukather on guitar. Besides contributing to albums for other artists like Boz Scaggs and Michael Jackson, Lukather is also the only continuous founding member of the band Toto. So he'll be bringing some of those hits with him to this show.

Next, on guitar we have Colin Hay, the only continuous founding member of Men At Work. So there's another catalog of music coming to the Venetian. Hay is also often recognized from television, as he does a lot of screen work in addition to his music.

Edgar Winter is next in the line-up. This multi-instrumentalist is a renaissance man in the group. Playing keys, saxophone, percussion, guitar, and vocals, there's nothing he can't do. His diverse talent is a lot of what made his band, The Edgar Winter Group, so popular in the 1970's. Consider that music catalog number three in this show.

Warren Ham is another multi-instrumentalist in the All-Starr Band line-up. He might be rocking the saxophone, flute, harmonica or keys at this show. He's best known for his work with Kansas and Toto.

Hamish Stuart will be joining the show on bass guitar at the Venetian, bringing some of his band's music catalog with him. So listen for songs from Average White Band. We'll call that concert catalog number four.

And on drums we have Gregg Bissonett. I know what you're thinking. And yes, Ringo is still a drummer and will be playing drums on this tour. Bissonett will be joining Ringo for their double drum action.

So there you go. You've got musicians from Toto, Men At Work, The Edgar Winter Group, and Average White Band. Not to mention the huge Beatles catalog Ringo knows so well. And you will hear songs from all four of these catalogs at the upcoming Venetian tour.

If you want to know if they'll do your favorites, here's the setlist from the most recent past shows. And scroll all the way down for a link to tickets for the upcoming show at the Venetian! - Wendy Rush, 96.3KKLZ
