Alcatrazz/California, USA 1985

From the 1985 US tour featuring Steve Vai accompanying the release of “DISTURBANCE THE PEACE”, a complete 74-minute recording of the Huntington Beach, California performance on August 6th with a good audience recording at the time. Immediately after this, there was a live show in which Vai joined Dave Lee Roth at the end of his tenure with Alcatraz, and the overall band sound was even more coherent than the second performance in Japan in 1984, and the ensemble play could be said to be the best. thing. Also, the set was completely different from the Japan tour in October 1984, and the opening song was God Blessed Video, which was exactly like the second album. Since then, the songs have been completely replaced, with Vai’s solo Lighter Shades Of Green playing the intro to Sons And Lovers, and Wire And Wood, which was not played on the Japatsu tour, also being performed. In addition, the seventh song includes a rough medley instrumental number by the whole band from Skyfire, and it is a valuable performance in which Vai plays a lot with a medium tempo rhythm section in the background. After a nearly seven-minute spectacular guitar solo in the middle, Since You Been Gone begins with a ballad arrangement similar to Jimi Hendrix’s Little Wing. The entire band joined in midway through, and Graham captivated the audience with his wonderful vocals. And on this day, Graham was in great condition, and his control of the high range was superb. Furthermore, the last of the main set was Stripper, and after the band retired, the club DJ gave a passionate band call, and after introducing the members, they even played The Attitude Song, a groovy instrumental from Vai’s solo “Flexable”. And the last song is All Night Long, which is a must-listen for fans as Graham shows off his extremely powerful vocals just like he did during his Rainbow days! 1.
