When this photo was taken, I remember telling myself, "Don’t you forget this moment Vai." And I never will.![]()

The show in São Paulo at the Best of Blues and Rock fest was outstanding. It was a beautiful, clear night with a full moon and 8000 enthusiastic people. Thanks to all the fans and to the promoter for inviting me. Brazil rocks, hard and beautiful.
We’re off to São Paulo, Brazil for the Best of Blues and Rock Festival. When we arrived, we went to check out my buddies Nuno Bettencourt & Extreme who were then followed by brother Tom Morello. Their shows were stunningly good, powerful and played beautifully. I even got to jump on stage and help give some power to the people. It was a beautiful evening.

Eindhoven recap & Photos
Hey folks,
Having the opportunity to perform my music with the Metropole Orchestra on May 13, 2023 in Eindhoven Holland was the stuff life dreams are made of.
At times I felt enveloped in the elixir of the melodies while being suspended a foot off the ground by the swooning atmosphere the mighty Metropole created. These are the things I envisioned myself doing from the time I was perhaps 9 years old. It’s crazy how it’s all manifested.
The audience was tremendously supportive the entire evening and made the whole event a peak experience. My deepest appreciation to all those who attended and gave such kind support, and to the “Mighty Met” and all the fine people that worked so hard to make this event a reality. Special shout out to my orchestral partners, the Creative Catalyst Co de Kloet and the great maestro conductor Jukka Iisakkila.
I’m very much looking forward to our next orchestral performance this September in Tampere Finland with the Tampere philharmonic. Stay tuned for details.
Big love to all of you
