    Im not sure,i suppose it was too much in one go,sensory overload and all that, i must go back and watch again, dont get me wrong, i love vai's stuff,and he is always pushing the boundries of the guitar which you have to admire him for, it would be easy for him to shred all day long im sure.And i agree with sofa,Lotus feet is a fantastic piece of composition.

    Nah. I'm very dissappointed with this release too. It felt so rushed and forced. His playing is also far from his best. He took a bunch of scores he wrote in his teens. He can do so much better than this. He needs to cop himself on as he's really dropped the ball with his last album. Mattias Ia Eklundh could now do a better Vai album than Vai could! The recent gig with the violinists was amazing though. That DVD'll be something special.
