BraveWords.com has received the following press release:

It is almost time for guitar legend STEVE VAI to release his concert film and live CD, Where The Wild Things Are, on September 29th, 2009 [Favored Nations Records]. The show was recorded and filmed at the State Theatre in Minneapolis, MN before a sold-out audience as part of Vai’s successful Sound Theories world tour.

The 2 hour and 40 minute set contains several new tracks and re-orchestrated pieces culled from his rich catalog. His guitar-wielding extravaganza in 'The Murder' is an artistic performance piece that must be seen to be believed.

Visit this location to check out two new trailers. 3-minute and 7-minuted trailers are available.

Recently Vai was awarded an honorary Doctor of Music degree from Musicians Institute in Hollywood as well as receiving a Lifetime Achievement award on his visit to Brasov, Romania to appear at the Cerbul De Aur (Golden Stag) Festival. This is truly the year of Vai
