Vai Live in L.A. Stillness In Motion was recorded October 2012 at Club Nokia in LA while Steve was on his two year worldwide Story of Light tour.

Commemorating the 25th anniversary of Passion and Warfare comes a special 2CD edition of the album which includes the first-ever release of Vai's Modern Primitive songs and recordings. Based on song sketches and works-in-progress penned, and recorded, by Vai following the release of Flex-Able, the artist's debut album, in January 1984, the music on Modern Primitive has been completed by Steve for release as a full album bonus disc in the Passion and Warfare 25th Anniversary Edition.

This track was spontaneously born at a soundcheck sometime in the mid 1990’s. The basic gist of the melody and chord changes were captured and put on the shelf. Sometime later when I was pulling potential tracks together for the Fire Garden album I came across this melody.

On this album that the All Music Guide calls "an amazing exhibition of six-string talent," guitar virtuoso Steve Vai pays tribute to his mentor Frank Zappa on the song "Frank" and to Stevie Ray Vaughan on "Jibboom." This songbook also includes a special 8-page color section of photos and illustrations, and 11 more songs from the CD transcribed in notes and tab.
