Steve Vai Takes HCM City by Storm with Inviolate World Tour

The audience who completely filled Nguyen Du Indoor Stadium were captivated by the breathtaking performances of Vai, a three-time Grammy Award-winning artist, and his talented colleagues.

They were truly amazed by Vai’s extraordinary Hydra guitar, a multi-faceted instrument with two headstocks and three necks, featuring 7 and 12-string guitars, a 4-string ¾ scale length bass, 13 sympathetic harp strings, half-fretless necks, single-coil, humbucking, piezo, MIDI, and sustainer pickups, as well as floating and hardtail tremolo bridges and phase splitters.

This concert in Vietnam marks Vai’s first performance in the country, celebrating his 45-year-long music career and promoting his latest album, Inviolate.

Vietnam is the inaugural destination of Vai’s Inviolate World Tour in Southeast Asia.

Vai, at the age of 63, is an accomplished American guitarist, songwriter, and producer. He has been nominated for Grammy Awards 15 times and has been honored with the prestigious award three times.

He began his musical journey in 1978, ventured into a successful solo career in 1983, and has since released eight successful solo albums.

His most acclaimed album, Passion and Warfare (1990), has been hailed as “the ultimate hard rock guitar-virtuoso album of the ’80s”. Vai was ranked as the 10th Greatest Guitarist by Guitar World magazine, and has sold over 15 million records worldwide.

Vietnam defeat Myanmar, set up ASEAN football semifinal against Indonesia

Hình ảnh
Before the game started, both teams spent a moment of silence in memory of Brazilian football legend Pele, who passed away last week. Vietnam looked poised for the last four with an early goal just eight minutes into the game. Nguyen Van Quyet conjured up a brilliant assist for Pham Tuan Hai to tap in, but before Hai could touch the ball, Zin Lwin scored an own goal. Vietnam’s goalkeeper Dang Van Lam and defense line almost brought the match back to the start by making grave mistakes in just a few minutes with wrong positioning and careless passes. However, the Myanmar players failed to convert those chances. The hosts doubled the lead in the 27th minute when Myanmar keeper Tun Nanda Oo could not catch the ball cleanly from Doan Van Hau’s cross, leaving Nguyen Tien Linh with an easy job.
