SAVATAGE - "HE CARVES HIS STONE" Live in Dallas 1993

[Scott16736]

He played Charvel and I think Marshall amps not sure but genius anyways

[donnieandsarah]

Perfect. Saw them in Tampa where it was totally wild on that tour.

[cjsiracuse]

Does anyone know what kind of amps and guitars Criss used? In this one looks like a Jackson guitar but can't tell what kinda amps.

[iron666beast]

Criss Oliva was amazing....We MUST NOT forget him !!!!

[TheRosenbergTrials]

first solo at 1:47. watched it 20 times in a row. gonna watch it another 20.

[jddrock]

OMFG!!! I was at this show! Front row, leaning between Criss' and Zack's monitors! Whoever taped and posted this FUCKING THANK YOU!!! R.I.P. Criss, you are missed. Also to Dallas City Limits...used to be the best club in Dallas, now a latino dance club. A lot of truly great shows happened there, including KISS, Cinderella, Dokken, etc. I saw Savatage there 4 tours in a row (the band had court appearances for some trouble at another club after show jam and always booked DCL when they came down).

[jimmy5150ify]

@jddrock LOL! Yep ole DCL. Me and my future x wife were here! oh well....

[msadaldin]

FACEMELTIIIIIIIIIIIING

[1982youthanasia]

It's like watching a master at work. Makes me miss Criss even more.

[panagiotis444444]

criss oliva and andy waitkus from zions abyss....they play awesome

[ShadowsConcealed6783]

Damn one Criss Oliva's last performances. This guy was just too amazing. Listen to that guitar. Damnit.

[MrHaji79]

kick ass.. they sounded so good even its a live version..

[kelsiepop]

Am I the only one who thinks this song rips off "The Lady Wore Black" by Queensryche?

[ShadowsConcealed6783]

@kelsiepop Yup. Both Classic tunes.

[jline623]

@kelsiepop Yes you are the only one!

[jesterheadbr]

whatafuck... gods music

R.I.P. Criss Oliva, thanks to make this beautiful song

[Webgkil]

Damn...no studio versions of this on tube? :S

[jesterheadbr]

fuck the studio!

[oooooooooorly]

Damn, it's such a pity Criss Oliva died, this band could have done some amazing things if they continued the style of Edge of Thorns.

[donnieandsarah]

This is my favorite Savatage song of them all. His solos are mind blowing on this song. (Well, ditto to every song).

[TheKickassdrummer]

This was exactly two months and two days before Criss' passing...

[SinceForgotten]

Lucky bastards watching the show. I couldn't guess how would it feel to see Criss live. I found myself in tears when I saw John with JOP. They played Hounds here in Turkey and dedicated it to Criss. It was a historical moment for me.

[SinceForgotten]

Also, Wacholz left the band after Criss Oliva passed away. So you will not see Wacholz in a video without Criss.

The solo in this song is killing meeeee!!!!

[DTzerb]

...then watch the Handful Of Rain video ;-)

[SinceForgotten]

@DTzerb I mean live, Mr. Einstein.

[panais1993]

sorry for saying that but criss does not playing here... criss died in 1993 :((

[SinceForgotten]

Don't you see the guy on the right? Haven't you seen Criss Oliva on videos before? He's fucking there, playing the solo perfectly at such a high tempo. Criss Oliva is FUCKING AMAZING. He has such a distinctive style.

[partoalienigena]

you are fucking right dude!

[theaterdreamer]

@panais1993 Dude, as has been pointed out, that is Criss Oliva playing both solos, standing on the right side of the stage. This concert was in Dallas, August of 1993. He was killed by a drunk driver in October of 1993. That's Criss. NOBODY else could play those solos. Nobody. Criss is the most God damned underrated rock guitarist to ever walk the earth. He's technically just brilliant.

What a gift these videos are. RIP Criss, you will NEVER be forgotten. Still the orchestra plays...

[bodomfan1]

Criss' solo is fucking amazing.

I love when he brings his guitar up like that, it looks so natural and flows perfectly...

Crissssssissssstheeeeefuckiiii­ingBEEEEST.

Favorite guitarist ever!

[weedfan]

whos on drums?

[SavaFun]

Andy James.....Wacholz couldn't tour with Savatage..i thing he had a business...so he called his friend Andy to tour with Savatage....

[partoalienigena]

Wacholz

[weedfan]

i dont think so

[gfulen]

where was this taken at? i think i've been there before.

[megadeth9000]

dave mustaine asked kerry king to join megadeth and he rejected him a couple years later kerry got shot at a pantera concert. then he asked chris, chris also wanted to stay with his brother so he said no a few years later he died coming home from a concert kinda fishy lol jk but its true

[mm2fan]

no it was dimebag of pantera that got shot , not kerry king, hes from slayer and is still alive

Criss owns those guitarists easily though!

RIP CRISS

[partoalienigena]

yes...

[SavaOdy]

Yeah, I guess the lesson is, don't turn down Dave Mustaine.

No really though, Rest in Peace both Dime and Criss.

[toxickissduo]

Definetely top 5 Sava songs this one. Damn, Criss was simply perfect live, astounding guitar playing a true GOD. So sad his life was cut so short.

This performance is amazing. Zak sounds so raw, even the cracks in his voice in the chorus sound pretty cool, lol. But the end, he just freakin' nailed, very impressive. What a fire this lineup had, I'm sure Jon was watching very proud. But Oliva's guitar shredding, damn!!!

[hanmyoeng]

best song....

[mm2fan]

my favorite song of of Edge....well every song is pure genious R.I.P Criss.

[vikingrich]

That solo just ripped my face off.

[edguyrocks]

No shit man...Killer!

[jamburg48]

Thank you I saw them two times in 93' The best still!

[sandman616]

Wow!! That '93 Savatage line-up was so tight and so heavy!! \m/ I'd love it if video of this entire gig ends up here TemptationRevelation. Thanks for sharing!
