I agree with all of you when you said when Vai is en excelent musician, fact is that i've been once at a Vai concert and I initally enjoy it for the first 30-60 minutes on a 2 hours show. The rest of the time i was really bored by his playing and his behaviour on stage, i feel like i was in a circus ! (sad to say that but was true) Been at Vai's concert twice just because i want to give him a second chance, result: same feeling, i was really bored after a while. Never get this feeling on other concert (satch's for example).
My point is, I really like some of the peculiar behaviour of Vai and his music (some of it al least!) but sometimes i think he over exagerate his behaviour and playing, pushing himself to a point where things become un-useful and un-necessary in a musical context.
This is my personal view of him, not want to pass this for the absolute truth or convice someone this is true neither to offend someone
