A special reunion of the original 1996 G3 lineup of Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson and Steve Vai hit the road earlier this year, January and February 2024. The tour kicked off on January 23 in Tucson, AZ and wrapped up on February 10 in Los Angeles, CA.

Now, both Vai and Stariani are teasing a live G3 release through earMusic. Stay tuned for details.

"On the loose since 1996. Now captured…stay tuned!"

Guitar legend Steve Vai checked in with the following update at the end of the tour:

"We wrapped up our glorious 27 year G3 anniversary tour this weekend in LA. The whole tour was an exceptional life experience. Being on the road with this entourage was like touring in a warm float tank. It was a pleasure beyond measure. Eric and Joe never cease to amaze and inspire me with their brilliance and innovation. And to feel them on stage every night trading riffs in our jams was uplifting and exhilarating! On top of all that, they are solid good people and cherished friends.

Big time thanks to our crew and management that worked so hard to make it the exceptional experience that it was, and to all the folks that came to enjoy the shows. Your support is humbling."
