Joe Satriani, one of the most respected and innovative guitarists in the world today, announces the release of the live-concert film, “Satchurated: Live In Montreal”. “Satchurated” was filmed during Satriani‘s “The Wormhole Tour”, supporting his studio album, “Black Swans And Wormhole Wizards”, at the Metropolis in Montreal, Canada. The December 12, 2010 concert was filmed by Grammy– and Emmy-award-winning concert filmmakers Pierre and Francois Lamoureux. “Satchurated: Live In Montreal” was released to select theaters throughout the country on March 1 for a limited engagement.
For a complete list of theaters, go to this location.
With a total of ten cameras working to capture the sold-out concert, Satriani‘s musical best was recorded in both 2D and 3D HD formats. The high-definition filming makes Satriani‘s playing as much a pleasure to watch as it is to hear. Every chord change is captured and presented as if one were experiencing a living room concert of your very own! The soundtrack from “Satchurated” was produced by Satriani and Mike Fraser and will be released on April 10 through Epic Records.

Over the last two decades, Satriani has traveled the world, playing to sold-out crowds as both a headliner and as founder of the all-star “G3” guitar extravaganza. His studio and live recordings have sold more than 10 million copies worldwide to date and of his many solo albums, two have gone platinum and four others went gold, with 15 Grammynominations between them. His side project, CHICKENFOOT, featuring former VAN HALEN frontman Sammy Hagar, former bassist Michael Anthony, and RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS drummer Chad Smith, saw their debut album certified gold and have just released their second studio album. Satriani also appears in the Academy Award-nominated film “Moneyball” starring Brad Pitt, recreating a national anthem performance he gave at the 2002 opening day of Major League Baseball‘s Oakland As. In late 2010, music sensation Nicki Minaj sampled the classic Satriani song “Always With Me Always With You” in her song “Right Through Me” from her multi-platinum debut album and in March, Satriani will revive his “G3” tour “Down Under” when he is joined by fellow legendary guitarists Steve Vai and Steve Lukather for a spring tour of Australia and New Zealand.
