I caught Steve Vai recently...the songs from the new album (Story of Light) sound GREAT live, and of course he played some of my favs from Passion and Warfare...
One of the biggest surprises from this show was the opening act...Beverly McClellan opened.....I had never heard of her before, but apparently she was one of the finalists from that show The Voice.(not sure what season...i've never actually seen that show)
She has a shaved head (shiny like a cue ball) and a buncha tats...i didn't know what to expect when she walked out on stage, but HOLY SHIT that chick has some serious pipes. Very bluesy kinda style...extremely powerful voice. I later saw that she does the vocals on a couple tracks on Steve Vai's latest album too, so I went out and got that. Good stuff!
