A new phase in the world of Mike Keneally: Mike Keneally’s Circus of Values!
MK and BB go on an acoustic tour for Taylor Guitars.
In May, a 7-piece MK-BFD (with new drummer Nick D’Virgilio) embarks on the Dancing 2001 US Tour.
Following this tour, MK teams up with Steve Vai for the G3-Summer Tour (June/July), which also includes Joe Satriani and John Petrucci. After this MK takes a much deserved rest.

notes:
“Mike acoustic, features Andy West on ‘Waiting For Williams.’ Recorded from webcast and converted from mp3, so the sound quality isn’t pristine but it’s quite listenable. I have no idea what Mike’s playing in the outro but a little bird told me it’s something new. If I find out a title I’ll let you know. One of the interview segments features a phone call from Doug Boucher.” -RS
