The original line-up behind the G3 touring concept returns with “Reunion Live,” released January 31st, 2025, worldwide on earMUSIC. The album captures the guitar magic of Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson, and Steve Vai on their sold-out 2024 US tour. This electrifying reunion features three guitar icons who first joined forces in 1996 and showcases 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, Clapton and Steppenwolf covers.

“Reunion Live“ is much more than “just“ a live album. It’s a full album-length sert from each artist, plus a collaborative supergroup LP and the first G3 release in 20 years.
Satriani comments:
“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.”
