DESCRIPTION:Attend a very special screening of the multi award-winning documentary 
 about the life and music of guitarist extraordinaire Jason Becker, “Jason 
 Becker: Not Dead Yet,” along with live musical performances by 
 internationally-known hard rock and heavy metal guest musicians, in a 
 benefit “Not Dead Yet: Movie and Music to End ALS” for the Jason Becker 
 Special Needs Trust and ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI), 
 Thursday, September 19, 2013 at Bimbo’s 365 Club. Doors are at 6:30 p.m. 
 with showtime at 7:00 p.m.\n\nIn 1990, 20-year old guitarist extraordinaire 
 Jason Becker, after already recording two full-length albums of his own, 
 was selected to play guitar for David Lee Roth - a position previously held 
 by two of the greatest guitarists ever; Steve Vai and Edward Van Halen. 
 Jason went on to record DLR’s third solo album, A Little Ain’t Enough, 
 released in April 1991, was voted Best New Talent by Guitar Magazine by 
 April of the very same year, and was about to begin a world tour that would 
 make him an international guitar superstar when Becker began to feel what 
 he called a "lazy limp" in his left leg. Doctors who soon diagnosed him 
 with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS; Lou Gehrig's Disease) said, not 
 only would never make music again, he wouldn’t live to see his 25th 
 birthday. Over two decades later, now confined to a wheelchair and without 
 the ability to move or speak, Jason – considered by many to be the 
 ‘Stephen Hawking of music’ - is very much alive and making music via 
 the computer he controls only with his eyes.\n\nJoin Jason Becker and 
 musical friends in a very special celebration of his life and music, with 
 musical performances during intermission and after the screening by Pearl 
 Aday and her band, Pearl, featuring guitarist (and husband) Scott Ian of 
 Anthrax, guitarist Jim Wilson of Mother Superior and Henry Rollins’ 
 Rollins Band, bassist Joey Vera of Armored Saint and Fates Warning, the San 
 Francisco Bay Area’s Forrest Day, and special guests.\n\n$50 General 
 Admission tickets include a light dinner buffet (while supplies last) and 
 $75 VIP tickets include the dinner buffet, as well as reserved seating, a 
 signed event poster and a meet and greet with Jason Becker and all the 
 participating musicians. \n\n
