Steve Vai's professionally mastered studio album. Hit the record stores in 1990 and guitar was never the same. Produced while playing for Whitesnake, features many hit songs Steve uses today. Although just about every one of these songs can be featured in concert the three most memorable are Audience is listening (ruthless power shredding), Erotic Nightmares (incredible guitar effects and guitar trio solo), to For the love of God (Emmy award winning, done in one take recording).
below is the video from the album, The Audience is Listening

The Vai "Jr" of the band. Tony MacAlpine routinely plays all the keyboards and duet solos on guitar with Steve on stage. Often at the same time. A tremendously talented musician in his own right.
below is a keyboard solo improvised after the song Bangkok while Steve gets suited for the next song.

Basically grew up in the Steve Vai band. Best noted for producing and editing the famous double concert album that brought us Whispering on a prayer. Dave plays the rthymn guitar, sitar, and third chair solos throughout the concert.
Here he solos a little tune he wrote, Dave's Party Piece! enjoy!

Fellow ax master, Billy is the brother from another mother! Both Billy and Steve Vai replaced Van Halen's gang when David Lee Roth left their band. One of their main power opening songs, Shyboy.
