EACH COPY PERSONALLY NUMBERED & AUTOGRAPHED BY MIKE! In mid-2005, Mike Keneally felt an irresistible calling to assemble his dream-lineup Mike Keneally Band and take to the road for the first time in years. So Mike, bassboy extraordinaire Bryan Beller, sublimely zen guitarist Rick Musallam and impossible drummer Joe Travers braved deserted highway flat tires, indifferent promoters, communal hotel rooms and financial desolation to Bring The Rock* to scattered hamlets across this great land of ours. Those who saw the Guitar Therapy shows were floored by the power, precision and concentrated emotion they experienced. And most nights, the band left the stage knowing something magical had gone down. Since this was very possibly a once-in-a-lifetime convergence, Exowax arranged digital multi-track recordings for some of the shows. Shortly after their return, Mike and Bryan listened to hours of live MKB performances and lovingly whittled them down to this energized CD featuring inspired new renditions of songs spanning Mike's career. Here are the songs on the Guitar Therapy Live CD:
This Special Edition features a region-free NTSC DVD of MKB's already-legendary July 30, 2005 Baked Potato show mixed in stereo and Dolby 5.1 Surround that virtually puts you in the front row. Plus there's an entertaining and enlightening band commentary track.
Guitar Therapy Live Special Edition is now shipping. In keeping with the ancient tradition, Mike will hand-number and autograph the first 3000 copies. The single-disc Standard Edition of Guitar Therapy Live will be available here and in stores on its official release date, June 27, 2006. * Powerful new cliché courtesy of Joe Travers. |

Mike Keneally's Vai Piano Reductions, Vol.1 On Sale Now at MooseMart! One of Mike's biggest admirers, Steve Vai, asked Mike to arrange and record a new release featuring Mike's astounding and moving solo piano renditions of Vai's music. "I believe that Mike Keneally is one of the most creative and gifted musicians God has graced us with," says Steve in the liner notes of this beautiful package. "I have witnessed him do things on various instruments (at the same time occasionally) that defy reality, and though his technical command of his instruments is extraordinary, it's the profound voice of his inner ear that is truly the trump card of his brilliance. How could I have been so fortunate that he accepted to take on this project?" Track list: All About Eve |
