I saw EJ and Satriani when they were touring together in the early 90s, I’m guessing around 91 or so. When Ah Via Musicom was still huge. That was a great show.
At the Petrucci camp, any time John was walking between his room and where the various events were held, several people were already talking to him, and I wasn't bold enough to get to him. He took the time, but you could tell he was trying to get where he was going, so I just held back and listened.
The only time I saw him alone was after he was done flipping burgers at the final evening BBQ, and everyone else was eating. He had made himself a plate and was eating by himself, and I just couldn't bring myself to bother the man while he was eating. But I really wanted to!
For you to hold court with him like that must have been a HUGE highlight!! If I'd gotten a chance like that with JP, my questions would've been all about technique though.
