Crushing Day (Live) - Joe Satriani

Footage of Joe playing Crushing Day live. He actually played it during this 2002 Strange Beautiful Music tour webcast.

Joe never plays Crushing Day live because it's "cursed". He says that every time he plays it live, someting goes wrong, like the rhythm speeding up, or him messing up on the difficult solo. Also, it's his only composed solo. Most others are improvised, which allows him to have more flexibility in his live performance. His band members usually don't like playing the song either because the rhythm section is quite boring for them.

Enjoy this rare footage, sorry about the quality.

men, i saw this solo in Buenos Aires, april 2003... my fav song since the first time i heard any joe recording, and i went crazy when he started to play crushing day live...

Given his stance i would have called this Masterpiece "Crouching day" :D

@UncleZipper No, I think the camera is so old that can't catch a clear live sound that's why some fast scales sound like outta tune! It might be I dunno though!

@Awesum100

So you're saying he's playing too fast for the camera to record him?

Interesting concept.

[Awesum100]

2:43 and 3:30 are lame! I think it's just an audio difficulty! He never plays like that!

guys , the crushing day has the most difficult solo satriani ever play in his career.

no one can play it so good like the album , not even himself. I think it is a master piece of the guitar history, you got to repeat this thing all day maybe for months to play it like the album,if you are already playing so good as satriani I mean...

[MADEINMAIDEN]

HOLY ANUS, I LOVE THIS!

@makistza

I don't play guitar but why do you did you say that he need to practice? His perform isn't good enough? Did he miss something? Please explain cuz I want to understand your point.

[makistza]

not from your best appearance Joe , I guess you have to practice more like we do!!! :)
