The joint project will be available in January
Steve Vai has released “Zeus in Chains” as the second single and video from his joint G3 Reunion Live album with Joe Satriani and Eric Johnson. The project will be released on January 31st via earMUSIC.
The live album showcases the boundary-pushing performances that define G3. Fans will enjoy full sets from each guitarist, including hits like Satriani’s “Sahara,” Johnson’s “Cliffs of Dover,” and Vai’s “For the Love of God,” along with a thrilling encore jam of Hendrix and Clapton covers.
In addition to the live experience, the project offers “new” live albums from each artist, plus a collaborative supergroup LP. Available in multiple formats, the deluxe edition features a different colored vinyl for each artist, a special splatter LP for the jam sessions, and a 64-page photo book, divided into separate artists and jam chapters, documenting this monumental event. It is also available in a 2 CD set with a 16-page photo booklet. The album perfectly mirrors the live tour format, with individual sets and an epic jam session featuring all three guitarists.
“This live album recorded at The Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles captures all the energy of the live performances while shining a spotlight on the ever-evolving art of playing the electric guitar,” Satriani says.
Since its inception in 1996, the G3 tour has consistently brought together guitar legends for unforgettable performances. Each tour edition featured guitar virtuosos performing solo sets showcasing their mastery, followed by electrifying jam sessions highlighting their collaborative brilliance. Over the years, G3 has seen iconic guitarists like Yngwie Malmsteen, John Petrucci, and Paul Gilbert, among others, joining the ranks. Expanding beyond the U.S., the tour has evolved into a global celebration of guitar excellence, uniting fans and artists from different generations and genres. It is a must-see event for guitar aficionados worldwide. The G3 experience represents more than just a series of performances—it has become a platform for creative collaboration and a testament to the enduring power of guitar music.
