Joe Satriani's legendary G3 returns with Reunion Live, an album that captures the electrifying magic of their sold-out 2024 US tour. This electrifying reunion features guitar icons Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson and Steve Vai-who first joined forces in 1996. The live album showcases the boundary-pushing performances that define G3. Fans will enjoy full sets from each guitarist, including hits like Satriani's "Sahara", Johnson's "Cliffs of Dover", and Vai's "For the Love of God", along with a thrilling encore jam of Hendrix and Clapton covers.

In addition to the live experience, Reunion Live offers 'new' live albums from each artist, plus a collaborative supergroup LP. Available in multiple formats, the deluxe edition features a different colored vinyl for each artist, a special splatter LP for the jam sessions, and a 64-page photo book, divided into separate artists and jam chapters, documenting this monumental event. It is also available in a 2CD set with a 16-page photo booklet. The album perfectly mirrors the live tour format, with individual sets followed by an epic jam session featuring all three guitarists. A pre-sale for each format is available now.

Satriani says, "This live album recorded at The Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles captures all the energy of the live performances while shining a spotlight on the ever-evolving art of playing the electric guitar."

Since its inception in 1996, the G3 tour has consistently brought together guitar legends for unforgettable performances. Each edition of the tour has featured guitar virtuosos performing solo sets that showcased their individual mastery, followed by electrifying jam sessions that highlighted their collaborative brilliance. Over the years, G3 has seen iconic guitarists like Yngwie Malmsteen, John Petrucci, and Paul Gilbert, among others, joining the ranks. Expanding beyond the U.S., the tour has evolved into a global celebration of guitar excellence, uniting fans and artists from different generations and genres, making it a must-see event for guitar aficionados worldwide. The G3 experience represents more than just a series of performances-it has become a platform for creative collaboration and a testament to the enduring power of guitar music.

"A G3 tour is always an electrifying experience, and this particular G3 tour with Eric and Joe was a career highlight for me. To be able to hit the road with old friends and be in that lit-up environment of the stage and communicate on the deepest musical levels with friends is a privilege and honor, especially with such incredible players as Eric and Joe, who delivered magnificently at these shows." - Steve Vai

"Playing with Joe and Steve was an affirmation that while we all want to push the envelope of musical boundaries; we also want to share our heart experience and a soulful communication of the music that we have been allowed to partake of in our own lives." - Eric Johnson

"Reuniting with Eric and Steve this year, commemorating the very first G3 tour of '96, was nothing short of glorious. They were the first two guitarists I called when planning G3's maiden voyage, so, this reunion was a confirmation of our special connection. Storming the stage with two of my favorite musical giants, celebrating our shared roots as well as our unique differences, once again proved to be a winning formula." - Joe Satriani
