Tony MacAlpine

Live In Tokyo is a live performance from November 14, 2012 at Zepp Tokyo for supergroup PSMS, which features drummer Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater, The Winery Dogs, Transatlantic), bassist Billy Sheehan (Talas, Mr. Big, David Lee Roth), guitarist Tony MacAlpine & keyboardist Derek Sherinian (Black Country Communion, Dream Theater, Billy Idol). This 95 minute concert showcases a wide range of instrumental performances from each of the members careers & collaborations. Included in the set are Shy Boy from Sheehan's band Talas, MacAlpine's The Stranger, Sherinian's Apocalypse 1470 B.C. and Dream Theater's A Change Of Seasons: The Crimson Sunrise.

Crazy is the story of a legendary guitar player who emerged from Nashville in the 1950s. Blessed with incomparable, natural talent, Hank Garland quickly established his reputation as the finest sessions player in Nashville.

Ring of Fire perform in a small Japanese club, in support of their 1st album, Oracle. While almost the entire album is performed live, Mark Boals also had a solo album a couple of years earlier, called Ring of Fire, in which the band draw their name, and several tunes from that solo album are performed here live.

G3, a guitar supergroup that features top-tier shredders Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, and John Petrucci, is a guitar-lover's dream come true. The band's usual high energy is cranked up even higher on this live Tokyo date, and the amount of heavy riffing and blistering leads throughout the set is mightily ferocious. Petrucci, who rose to prominence in the progressive metal band Dream Theater, distinguishes himself here, and proves that his six-string skills are on par with revered axe-slinging of Vai and Satriani. In addition to some extended jams, there are covers of classic, guitar-defining rock songs (Deep Purple's "Smoke On the Water" and Jimi Hendrix's "Foxey Lady," among them) that add a dash of fun to the jaw-dropping pyrotechnics on offer.

This DVD features up-close-and-personal views of four of the finest musicians of the modern age. The InstruMENTAL Inspirations DVD features four virtuoso musicians play and discuss their influences and their past. Mike Portnoy. Billy Sheehan. Tony Macalpine. Derek Sherinian. If you are a musician, you should certainly know these four outstanding artists. I would venture that every drummer in the world knows the work of Mike Portnoy. The play on words "instruMENTAL inspirations" tells the story. Whether you are a musician or not you will be entertained and inspired as you listen to their performances and hear their stories
