..and play Get Back on a rooftop?

We played Get Back, but not on a rooftop.

In fact I believe it was my rendition of Billy Preston's iconic solo in that song that clinched me the role in my introductory rehearsal with the band.

The Phoenix gig at The Celebrity Theater (and in-the-round theater) was initially just going to sell half of the seats and not turn the stage (their approach when they expect a small crowd) but have changed to a full-sale/rotating stage. So yes, a larger turnout is going on.

Glad to hear it's going to be a rotating stage show - I got in early enough to do the meet and great for this show. The last one I saw there that rotated was Ringo Starr last year, and that was a blast to see an "over the shoulder" view of Ringo playing every once in a while. Should be great with BEAT as well.

there's a line of criticism about Vai that deems him as a 'wanker' and a flourisher flashy player only


this is a good resource to point out his musical intellect and of his drive to study and grow

The rotating stage is always a hit or miss thing; sometimes one has amazing luck and gets to see a unique view of one’s favorite band member at the perfect point, and other times that blissful moment comes when the rotation means the player is pretty much obscured completely.

And then there is the fact that their stage is soooooo old that it sometimes screws up and stops. Ha!
