G3: Joe Satriani releases ‘Big Bad Moon (G3 Reunion Live)’ today through earMUSIC.
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 lineup 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, ‘Big Bad Moon’ (from Joe Satriani’s Grammy-nominated, certified Gold ‘Flying in a Blue Dream’ album) 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.
Reuniting with Eric and Steve, commemorating the very first G3 tour of ’96, was nothing short of genius. They were the first two guitarists I called when planning G3’s maiden voyage, so this reunion was a confirmation of our special connection – Joe Satriani

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.
