Concert Description: Rarely has a band come freighted with such expectation and promise than the new outfit that calls itself Chickenfoot. There's Joe Satriani, he of guitar god status, a dream born on the fateful day of September 18, 1970. It was the day Jimi Hendrix died, and it was the same dat that Satriani, upon hearing the news, quit his high school football team and decided, at age 14, to devote his life to the electric guitar. Since that time, Satriani has become on of the world's most influential guitarists, releasing albums that have sold millions around the world. So what about that singer? Sammy Hagar, the original "Red Rocker" a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee for his tenure with Van Halen, who make his professional debut as the singer of the much-revered group Montrose during the early 70's. Hagar carried the Van Halen brand to new heights, and together they scored a string of No. 1 albums and sold tens of millions of albums. A great band is nothing without a great rhythm section, and Chickenfoot has one of the best in the two-man team of bassist Michael Anthony and drummer Chad Smith. As a founding member (and fellow Rock and Roll Hall of Famer) of Van Halen, Anthony laid the bedrock for which guitar genius Eddie Van Halen could fly. More than that, he provided a signature style of background vocal that became an intrinsic part of that band. Aiding Anthony in holding down the fort is Chad Smith, drummer for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who have, since Smith joined the group in the late Eighties, gone from cult faves to a worldwide force. Smith gets to rock hard with Chickenfoot, and the percussion explosion he creates might come as a suprise to those who only know if his work from Red Hot Chili Peppers tracks.
