0:50 Steve signals the guy to take a pick from the headstock and the guy pulls one out without missing a beat. Look at the joy of everyone involved in this moment, it's beautiful. Steve seems to be a really nice, down to earth dude.
@dancortes2164
He is. I met him the last time he came to Mexico. As we spanish speakers say, "Es un amor de persona" (hes a sweetheart)
@mickryan4921
Same, I met him in Dublin, the guy couldn’t have been more personable. Signed the headstock of my guitar, the works. I’d happily wait in line for him again.
@stageleftpromotions
@@mickryan4921 Me, also, too agree 100%~!!..I produced a concert, with him in PENSACOLA, FLA., ....and in 40 years of promoting, i've only worked with one artist, who came close to the personality of Mr. VAI, and that was Mr. MEATLOAF~!!!...they both act like, they're having the best day of their life??..OH, and did i mention, STEVE is a purdy good GUITAR player, too?
