G3, a guitar supergroup that features top-tier shredders Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, and John Petrucci, is a guitar-lover's dream come true. The band's usual high energy is cranked up even higher on this live Tokyo date, and the amount of heavy riffing and blistering leads throughout the set is mightily ferocious. Petrucci, who rose to prominence in the progressive metal band Dream Theater, distinguishes himself here, and proves that his six-string skills are on par with revered axe-slinging of Vai and Satriani. In addition to some extended jams, there are covers of classic, guitar-defining rock songs (Deep Purple's "Smoke On the Water" and Jimi Hendrix's "Foxey Lady," among them) that add a dash of fun to the jaw-dropping pyrotechnics on offer.

G3 : Live in Tokyo est un concert enregistré au Tokyo International Forum lors de la tournée G3 2005, avec Joe Satriani, Steve Vai et John Petrucci.

G3, eine Gitarren-Supergroup mit den hochkarätigen Shreddern Steve Vai, Joe Satriani und John Petrucci, ist der wahr gewordene Traum eines Gitarrenliebhabers. Die gewohnt hohe Energie der Band wird bei diesem Live-Date in Tokio noch stärker angeheizt, und die Menge an schweren Riffs und blasenden Leads im gesamten Set ist mächtig heftig.
