In November 2009, when Joe Satriani performed "Why" during a live recording in Montreal, he was in the midst of promoting his album "Black Swans and Wormhole Wizards," which had been released just a month prior, in October 2009. This album showcased Satriani's signature guitar work and included a blend of progressive rock and instrumental themes. Interestingly, "Black Swans and Wormhole Wizards" was notable for its lyrical content, with Satriani exploring more personal themes compared to his previous instrumental-focused work. The live performance captured in Montreal was part of the "Satchurated" tour, further emphasizing the artist's commitment to reaching fans with high-energy live shows. This period marked a significant moment in Satriani's career, blending his established guitar virtuosity with evolving musical styles and concepts.
