The story
When Ritchie Blackmore left the tour in November 1993, guitar hero Joe Satriani stepped in at short notice.
He completed the concerts in Japan and joined a summer tour of Europe in 1994.
Satriani had his own solo career and record deal, and could not become a permanent member. The line-up never released a studio album.
The albums
This line-up released no studio album.
