“Dancing In The Abyss” – Steve Vai New DVD Clip
Steve Vai performs “Dancing In The Abyss” – a section of the song “The Murder” from his new DVD “Live In Minneapolis – Where The WIld Things Are”.
The show was recorded and filmed at the State Theatre in Minneapolis, MN before a sold-out audience as part of Vais successful Sound Theories world tour.
Vai is widely known for both his unprecedented guitar playing techniques and the unique design of his signature series Ibanez Jem guitar. But his fans have become inextricably drawn to his melodic depth, and dynamic stage performance. The continued evolution of his craft is made apparent in the astonishing musicianship presented in “Live In Minneapolis – Where The Wild Things Are”. 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.
The addition of virtuoso violinists Alex DePue and Ann Marie Calhoun add a dazzling dimension to Vai’s compositions and stage show, delivering fans the unexpected edge they always expect. Other world-class musicians chosen for Vai’s band are: Bryan Beller (bass), Jeremy Colson (drums), Dave Weiner (guitar and sitar) and Zack Wiesinger (lap steel).
“Live In Minneapolis – Where The Wild Things Are” is available on DVD, Blu-ray, and audio CD on September 29th.

Yes, I agree, he …
Yes, I agree, he always has been an innovator but he seems to be doing that “weird ” all the time now, I feel like his playing LACKS playing sometimes.
And yes, it does bother me people who are stuck in the past, but seriously, his music don’t appeal to me anymore, what does all of this visual paraphernalia has to do with music?!
Sorry, I just think his work became more shallow with the time, but hey that’s just me.

Ok what the is this ?! I seriously kinda stopped liking Vai’s music for these kind of things, why can’t he just play solos, real solos, with real notes, not all this whammy bullshit. He used to be so great, his solos were so beatifully complex and amazing, now its all image and making “omg strange guitar noises lol”
