Nice write-up of the "Concert For Cliff" with Vai and Satriani

Junkman from KNAC has written a great review of the "Concert For Cliff" that took place this past Saturday at the House of Blues in Hollywood. This was the Joe Satriani/Steve Vai benefit concert for their friend Cliff Cultreri. Cliff is a music industry veteran who is currently suffering from a host of Auto-Immune and Connective-Tissue disorders. The show featured guest performers Steve Lukather, Paul Gilbert, Scott Henderson, Johnny Hiland, Dweezil Zappa, and Johnny A. The review features the full set-list, including all the details of the various jams.
