G3 EUROPE: STEVE VAI, JOE SATRIANI, AND ROBERT FRIPP JOIN FORCES JUNE 2004

On June 13th 2004, the legendary G3 Tour will commence its first European tour in 6 years at the ARROWROCK FESTIVAL in LICHTENVOORDE, HOLLAND bringing three of rock’s most influential guitarists together: Joe Satriani, Steve Vai and Robert Fripp. Since 1996, when Joe Satriani asked friend and fellow guitar hero Steve Vai to join him on the first G3 tour with Eric Johnson, there have been six (6) G3 tours, starring a line up of many of rock’s greatest guitar players, including Yngwie Malmsteen, John Petrucci, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Michael Schenker, Steve Vai and Joe Satriani.

The 1996 G3 tour paved the way for future G3 tours and spawned a live video and CD that highlighted the talents of each guitarist in a solo concert, before bringing the 3 stars together for a “Supergroup Jam.” Around the world, other greats stepped on stage and made the G3 Jams historical events: Brian May joined Joe and Steve in London in 1997, Billy Gibbons joined Joe, Steve and John Petrucci in Houston in July 2001, and Neil Schon has played a G3 Jam on every G3 tour in the US! November 2003 saw Joe, Steve and Yngwie Malmsteen play 30 sold out shows across the US and Canada. The tour was a great success and highlights are now available on the DVD G3 “Live in Denver” and the CD “G3 Rocking In The Free World”.
