Incredible news Jem,congratulations. Your stock will have risen incredibly by the end of your European adventure,and its thoroughly deserved.                                                          I am so bloody jealous

Ooh, that's really good!  Well done sir.  8-)
Just a shame that there are no UK gigs as I'd loved to have seen 4 of my favourite musicians on stage together.  No chance of the tour making it across the channel?
Am I right in thinking you're a bit of a Vai fan anyway?  I'm sure I remember you mentioning that you were on one of the Frost* reports, possible the one on the BLM solo...  :?:

The dates on Satch' site do say there is more to come but I don't know if that means the UK , I have asked

Are we still part of Europe?

Never mind about all that.... did you know that ....

Oh sod all that.......

This is blooming brilliant news.   What a gig and then some!!  If I'm not mistaken most G3 happenings give birth to a DVD and a CD. I'll look forward to that. Fantastic! Hope they come to the UK, I have been a big fan of Mr. Morse right from the day I heard "Take it off the top" playing in a record shop in Swansea in the late 70's, quite a while before Tommy Vance got hold of it.

Is this also the news that involves Blunders?? (Says he, probably behind the times again)

Thanks mate. I've got some fearful tunes to learn, but I'm already a better keyboard player than I was a week ago as a result.  

Will you be playing these gigs on a rig of your own design or are you using Keneally's set-up again?

Jem did tweet today he'd been programming Vai songs into his Kronos

Jem said earlier on Twitter... "Momentous moment! Just programmed my first Combi on the Kronos for the Vai G3 set!"

So I guess his rig is his own. I suppose doing the whole European leg of the tour means he's not just depping for a few nights.

Are we still part of Europe?  

Probably not by the time we get to summer.

Just shows the contribution Jem made in a couple of days last year.

Chuffed to bits for Jem, it's well earned.

Yeah, it's most excellent news, and very richly deserved! What-ho!

Thanks Ped. I think it was I who misunderstood the original announcement as well, Jem isn't just playing for Satch this time.

Well the blog does say both Satch and Vai but I'm not 100% sure about any of it.

Mike was slated to do the tour for obvious reasons, but he's busy with another project that he needs to do so I am doing the whole tour and I am playing keys for Joe and Steve plus the G3 jam at the end. Ironically I think it makes me the musician onstage most of all.  :lol:

Not sure if we're coming to the UK currently. I'm still hoping ONE DAY I'll get to play the bloody Hammersmith Odeon!
