1945년 내쉬빌. 어린 기타리스트 ‘행크 갈랜드’는 단 한 번의 공연으로 미국 컨트리뮤직의 심장부를 발칵 뒤집으며 최고의 기타리스트로 주목받는다. 넘치는 재능으로 당대 최고의 뮤지션들로부터 러브콜을 받는 그이지만, 음악에 대한 지나친 자신감과 고집 센 성격 때문에 음반사 관계자나 프로듀서들과 늘 갈등을 빚는다. 어느 날, 시카고로 투어를 떠난 행크는 매력적인 여인 ‘에블린’을 만나 사랑에 빠지고 그녀와 결혼한다. 하지만 행크가 유명세를 얻을수록 에블린의 외로움은 커져만 가고, 그들 사이는 소원해지고 만다. 행크의 무심함에 지쳐가던 에블린은 결국 돌이킬 수 없는 실수를 저지르고, 그로 인해 행크는 자신이 쌓아온 것들을 잃고 마는데…

G3, a guitar supergroup that features top-tier shredders Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, and John Petrucci, is a guitar-lover's dream come true. The band's usual high energy is cranked up even higher on this live Tokyo date, and the amount of heavy riffing and blistering leads throughout the set is mightily ferocious. Petrucci, who rose to prominence in the progressive metal band Dream Theater, distinguishes himself here, and proves that his six-string skills are on par with revered axe-slinging of Vai and Satriani. In addition to some extended jams, there are covers of classic, guitar-defining rock songs (Deep Purple's "Smoke On the Water" and Jimi Hendrix's "Foxey Lady," among them) that add a dash of fun to the jaw-dropping pyrotechnics on offer.

Ring of Fire perform in a small Japanese club, in support of their 1st album, Oracle. While almost the entire album is performed live, Mark Boals also had a solo album a couple of years earlier, called Ring of Fire, in which the band draw their name, and several tunes from that solo album are performed here live.
