Steve, is not an arrogant musician, he's sensitive to his audience, and gives them only the best of his creativity, talent, and performance! Steve is not like most musicians who have forgotten their gifts for the love of money! God bless you Steve, you're the # one and the best guitarist in the whole world!

Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.

This is probably my favorite Steve Vai instrumental. I've loved it ever since the Astoria DVD came out. This song has special meaning to me, as i went to see Vai as part of G3 in Copenhagen, 2004, and i was hoping he would play it. He did. A blinding version that blew me away. That same night, i hooked up with the beautiful woman who became my wife (Been happily together for 15 years now). This song will always stay with me, and remind me of that night. Magic in the air, in music and between people.

He doesn't just play the guitar, he caresses it, asks it to produce the most beautiful notes, and then gets angry at it.... he makes it look totally effortless, like the guitar is an animal that only he can control.... It's like magic....

More than a musician. A super hero.

this should be showed to all those who consider Vai only a virtuoso, here you can feel the soul he has, a graceful one, beautiful tune, thanks Vai, you are a huge inspiration for a Young guitarist who hopes, one day, to express as much emotion and beauty as you do:)

He always leaves me crying or speechless ....

wardkdouglas That's a guitar. The sonic possibilities made available by electric effects make the playing un-guitar like in the traditional sense. It's not a bad thing, if that was unclear.

Every song is a tale. You may not be touched by his music or you may be. But you can’t stay insensible to the way he uses his guitar to tell a story. He is a great musician. A real great musician.

After all these years this performance still gets me. Incredible!

this is one of the deepest music i've ever heard without saying a single word this express a beautiful feeling

This song has soul.... pure soul..😍

My son loves this song since he was 6 months old :) Long live to Vai.... He's a God

Third cup of coffee and the best "space"guitar player in the world!!! What a way to start a week!

The passion in this song is just out of control... Its just beautiful.

Who's listening/watching in 2019!! This will always stay unbeatable

The fist time I heard this song it was summertime. I was walking my dog on the pier. The sun was shining, I had my headphones on. As I walked past others walking their dogs, pushing their children in strollers, and holding hands with their significant others, I became FILLED with an appreciation for life and how much beauty there is in the world. As people played volleyball on the beach, jumped waves on their wave runners I felt closer to God than I ever had in my life. I began to cry out of pure joy and love for being alive. Music is SO powerful. I go back to that day every time I hear this song. Thank you Steve for reminding me to slow down, humble myself and take in all of God's love

Someone's been to Hot Topic. All jokes aside though, you're an absolute genius, dude. I can't praise you enough for everything your mind has brought to this world.

I'm proud to say I grew up in the 90s born in the 80s, some of the greatest of greats I've seen and gone, music just is not the same!!! Wind in your hair, that lustrous guitar singing to your soul and not your ears, late nights rockn rollin, parties that lasted days even weeks, those times you followed your favorite band on bus not Twitter or Instagram, the times we snuck in to see the show even if it was a headliner band. Man I must be getting older... miss the good ol times when music meant more than just some thing, it stood for hope, it stood for rebellion, it stood up for us when no one else would man I love rock n roll n I love an amazing guitar player like Vai

This is the most beautiful guitar playing I have ever heard!

though there is no lyrics in this song but i feel the message through it's sound.i'm just starting to listen on vai's music and it's great so far.whoa

people just stare with admiration with this true human will and intent , what a talet that comes from hard work

Not a word can tell how this music is beautiful.... Thank you Steve...

Steve Vai’s guitars are a fusion of musical instruments and finely honed sports equipment. People celebrate him like any classical virtuoso.

Happy Birthday, Steve, at 61-st Anniversary! And thank you for the music!

this that type a shit that will bring a tear to your eye. Steve you accomplished everything in this song and all of your music. You changed so much with what you've done over the years. Much Love!

Iam not a die hard fan of steve vai but man what a guitarist,beyond genius, grateful for everything he has done for the guitar world we live in,thank you steve for the inspiration.

This was absolutely incredible. However, tender surrender will always occupy the special place in my heart.

10 years after hearing this the first time, still gives me goosebumps.

So moving so beautiful..wow 20 yrs old and better than anything I hear today

No vocals needed. Absolute genius by Vai

I've seen Steve perform this live on two separate occasions and both times were absolutely splendid. It's such a captivating piece of music.

Have you ever wanted to burst in tears just from listening a song? Not just a simple song, a song that sends chivers up your spine every single time you hear it? That how i FEEL with this masterpiece! That's just how Awesome, Steve is . I have never felt that before in my life. To want to cry just by listening a song! It may sound a bit akward but this is how darn BEAUTIFUL this sounds to me.

When you have transcended all the techniques you learn your whole life into one spirituality that fussed together your soul and your guitar, only then you can play like this.

Til this day. I don't get tired of this. Soooo good

this is the best version even after 20 years ...

steve u are the best ... this is such a fantastic tune ... surely will touch d heart of a passionate guitar players

One of the best instrumentals song which will take the emotions out of you. ❤️❤️❤️

Steve Vai is simply the best. There's no comparison .

Satriani,plays damn good with his fingers. Steve Vai plays with his soul, and it moves his fingers.

Words do not exist that can describe this.

Absolutely perfect music by a legendary musician. And that THE greatest drummer in the history of history, Mr. Virgil Donati, is there to grace Steve is icing on the cake.

Man! When he let loose my hair stood on end... absolutely mesmerising...

Simplemente cuando mi alma necesita un empujoncito lo escucho y ya está. Me fortalece, me consuela, me refresca, me dá esperanza y me anuncia que aunque la vida y el mundo se está yendo, aún habrá un mañana lleno de las cosas que a tí y a mí nos hacen soñar. No me canso. Una y otra vez lo puedo hacer... siempre estará allí... inclusive cuando no le escucho físicamente, lo oigo en mi memoria. Esto es una parte del cielo!!!.

Met Steve early in my guitar journey. Still playing; still listening.

After using the double locking units, I can't see myself stepping back to anything else. There's no worry of the unit going out of tune if used aggressively. Absolutely love the things!

Steve is the greatest ever!!!! Humbly he would disagree.

This is what seperates steve vai from every other guitarist virtuoso that ever breathed,every technique possible,feeling and emotion from the depths of a beautiful soul,simply unbeatable

please "whisper a prayer" for my fellow Filipinos in Visayas that was badly hit by Typhoon Yolanda....

At 3:40 - makes you feel like you've ascended to heaven with Vai in that moment

This is the ultimate connect with everything experience, it starts very slow and then you get transported somewhere magical, you get bombarded with magnifisence, and then its like when your parents magical take you from the car, asleep to your tight bed. 10/10 would recommend

Phenomenal. The best guitar faces. I get to see him for the first time 04/21. So hyped!!!

Steveo, fucking love this, really helped me out of difficult times cheers!

legend....🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

hi steve! we've been waiting for you here in the philippines.. whispering my prayer now.. pls

I don't know why but this is the only song in the entire world of music I could just hang on to every note and every nuance. It's like a dream you wish would never end. I saw this in St. Louis and I swear that song put me in a trance.

I'm 60 and still listening and loving it. 😍🎸😍

Always thought Vai looked all style and no soul until finding this, just Fantastic.

If the world only had one guitar left, i would be perfectly fine with Steve keeping it.
