Zak Stevens delivered confident vocals, Alex Skolnick (ex Testament) brought fresh guitar fire, Jon Oliva contributed keyboards and backing vocals, Johnny Lee Middleton anchored the bass, and Jeff Plate powered the drums with precision and drive. In the intimate club setting, the band blended speed metal aggression with melodic progressive elements, capturing their resilience and evolution soon after Criss Oliva’s tragic death. The concert showcased Stevens’ seamless integration and Skolnick’s technical flair, highlighting Savatage’s theatrical storytelling and heavy grooves. Circulating soundboard recordings are praised for their clarity and balance, making this performance a valued document of Savatage’s mid 90s transition. Savatage, an awesome American heavy metal band, was founded by brothers Jon and Criss Oliva in 1979 in Tarpon Springs, Florida, originally as Avatar before renaming due to another band’s claim. A fantastic influence on power, progressive, speed, thrash, death, and symphonic metal, they’ve released eleven studio albums, two live albums, four compilations, and three EPs. Their third album, Fight for the Rock (1986), hit number 158 on the Billboard 200, but Hall of the Mountain King (1987), Gutter Ballet (1989), Streets: A Rock Opera (1991), and Edge of Thorns (1993) earned epic critical acclaim. After Criss Oliva’s tragic death in 1993, Jon and producer Paul O’Neill continued Savatage, releasing outstanding albums like Handful of Rain, Dead Winter Dead, The Wake of Magellan, and Poets and Madmen. Despite line-up changes, including Zachary Stevens, Al Pitrelli, Chris Caffery, Johnny Lee Middleton, Jeff Plate, and Alex Skolnick, and a 2002 hiatus where members formed Jon Oliva’s Pain, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Circle II Circle, and Doctor Butcher, Savatage reunited for Wacken 2015. Now active again, they’re delivering fantastic live shows in 2025 and working on a new album, Curtain Call, with Jon Oliva, Stevens, Pitrelli, Caffery, Middleton, and Plate, proving their enduring metal legacy.81 views -
