Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson, and Steve Vai returned to the G3 touring concept in 2024 for a sold-out US tour. This was the original G3 line-up that saw the three virtuosos first share a stage back in 1996. Each guitarist plays a full set with their own band and then the three join together for an encore jam.
For those lucky enough to have been at any one of those 2024 shows, ‘Desert Rose’ (from Eric Johnson’s platinum-selling, Grammy Award-winning album “Ah Via Musicom”) is a standout moment to relive and cherish again. For those who weren’t, G3 Reunion Live is the full G3 live experience waiting to be discovered.
“Playing with Joe and Steve was an affirmation that while we all want to push the envelope of musical boundaries; we also want to share our heart experience and a soulful communication of the music we have been allowed to partake of in our own lives.” – Eric Johnson
G3 Reunion Live captures the experience of that tour in full for all fans and marks the first G3 album release in over 20 years.
