Steve Vai - Crossroads Duel Live With Mike Keneally - HQ

The famous guitar duel from "Crossroads" movie with Mike Keneally. Live in Seoul, Korea 1997.

Keneally is a serious badass. And not just on guitar. He plays several instruments, and can keep up with Steve Vai. Can't say that about many other people in the world.

I remember seeing this tour going way back in the late nineties, in little old Adelaide, South Australia. And that "second" guitarist, Kenneally, is truly amazing. But then again, the whole band was brilliant.
Ah, the good old days, pre-911, pre-covid, just a better time all round. The best times of my life.

Good to to see that bass player still hangin with him all these years later. Saw them last winter in Calgary Canada and they were all amazing

[DiegoMoralesRoccuzzo]

It amazes me and leaves me in awe the sheer level of dexterity, instrumental proficiency and talent Keneally has.

Steve Vai must have practiced real hard to get it right this time.

[FOHguy]

Mike Keneally is incredible in his own right. That's why Zappa, Vai, Satriani and others have had him in their bands.

[mikeseppy]

Zappa said keneally was the only player he knew who could hear a piece once and repeat it exactly correct.

I was 16 when I watched this show, 90's, São Paulo - Brasil. Amazing... Unforgettable!! Thank´s for good memories!

[choward]

God I miss the 80's- 90's Vai!

[DVincentW]

in 1998 he did this at House of Blues in Orlando Disney . I was in awe. Still am.

[lucassmith]

Yes Sir! This was awesome I love the movie, I'm glad Steve implemented this into a show that was incredible! Great job by both!!

[jimspencer]

About the most wonderfully inspiring (& intimidating!) freak show of electric guitar exuberance & technical mastery I’ve ever seen/heard! Stunning playing!

[suedeface]

I saw this tour and during the show Keneally put his arm around me like he was scared, later Vai held his guitar out and let me use the whammy bar while he played. Was a tiny club and such a cool experience. Saw Keneally play in a bar once and he was hanging out and showed me how to play part of "I Can't Stop" that I couldn't figure out.

It's worth mentioning that this drummer is Mike Mangini, currently on Dream Theater.

[mattmartian]

saw this live at a small club.. was so so so awesome... really impressed by Mikes playing. he's really top notch.. for a piano player. Hehe crazy

[bilalmalikguitarist]

Vai never fails to amaze me. He is the fucking guitar!

[Andrewkafp]

Saw Mike for the first time supporting Satch.
He is amazing
Steve Vai needs no comment...

[Weshopwizard]

Saw them play this at the Caravan of Dreams in Fort Worth. Keneally broke a string and Vai says “alright Ralph go fix your guitar!” The whole place fell out laughing.

[edoardoed]

In a masterclass i asked him " What are your best remembrances of the film Crossroad?" He answered: " I remember i was in the part, of a bad guy...And Ralph Macchio used to scared off every time i had to look in his eyes in a very bad way .. " : D : - )) Thanx for uploading .

it's amazing to hear Paganini's Caprice No. 5 played in unison. I would love to see it played where the other guitar is playing an octave lower.
