  • I love that!!!!!!

  • Steve's drum setup looks cool and comfortable. I like his style of drumming.

  • @somesz83 Don't know why I wrote Steve, it's Jeff . :D

  • great metal simply vanished and became a freakshow where every thing was speedier and harsher and lot less music

  • My first festivakl was one year later (also Dynamo), sadly...

  • yeah! i´ve been there. Was my first Festival!

  • damm watching this and remenbering i was standing there as 16 year old kid. only in for Slayer , Venom, gorefest. thinking now i should got in in for Savatage. greath fucking PERFECT METAL!

  • They ROCK!!

  • You guys, this guitarrist played with Megadeth and Alice cooper, knew that?

  • @grisknack yes he's Al Pitrelli.He played with Cooper on albums "Trash" and "Hey Stoopid" and on the DVD "Trashes The World". and with Megadeth in years 2000 - 2002 and you can see him on the DVD "Rude Awakening". I knew this, because I follow him from the performance with Cooper.

  • the best band ever

  • lmaoo Jack Frost is my guitar teacher :P

  • BEST BAND EVER IN THE HISTORY OF MUSIC!

  • Great band! Great sound!

  • Viva used to show good music, huh...

  • who ever directed this live video for TV Broadcasting it is obvious he doesn't understand a thing about metal, you don't turn the camera from the lead guitarist when he plays a solo and focus on the drummer and you don't focus on fans while band members are giving an optimum performance moment gosh I hate these people

  • Yeah where can I find the full concert I badly need it

  • where can i find the whole concert??

  • This song sounds a lot better live than in the studio version. Their later stuff is not so good imo compared to albums like Gutter... or the Hall Of...

  • Talk about headbanging and hellraising at 4:01,hell yeah!!!

  • I wish I could see these guys live someday.

  • Chris is playing a Gibson Moderne.

  • WTF is Caffery playing

  • Yeah, I was about to ask the same question. I thought it was a flying V at first:-O

  • i loooooooooooove Zak!!!!!!!

  • Sweet video. I love Middleton's bass groove.

  • who are the guitarists here ?

  • @Yenlee69 Chris Cafferey and Al Pitrelli! Dig It!

  • Johnny Lee Middleton (Savatage, TSO East, Solo) is the bassist. The two guitarists are Chris Caffery (Savatage, Doctor Butcher, TSO East, Solo) and Al Pitrelli (Savatage, Alice Cooper, Asia, Megadeth, TSO West). Caffery toured with Savatage for Hall of the Mountain King, played guitar for Gutter Ballet, and stayed with them from Dead Winter Dead onwards.

  • al pitrelli and chris caffery

  • UNBELIEVABLE! at 3:29, i'm in this video (in the left, but not enough time to recognize me) And my two Friends : RO (with the red cap) in the center, And Pat (with the pink towel around his neck)!! It was a great show (and a rainy week-end!!) LOL

  • its you my friend...

  • wowo dude

  • Amazing!!!!!

  • YEAH GURL!

  • savatage forever

  • I think we all miss old savatage, when Oliva brothers was filling the atmosphere with passion and real metal sound. Criss, I damned miss you so much...

  • METAAAAAAAAALAAAAAAAA !!!! IT was a GREAT TV show !!!

  • Zak Stevens is awesome.

  • I've made out with Chris Caffery xD

  • More like Chris Crocker

  • :D :D :D :D Hilarious but offending! don't take it too serious fuggers.

  • he was probably drunk lololo haha

  • You better be a girl or am I missing something?

  • i think Caffery and Pitrelli are some of the best that have ever lived, along with Skolnick (who i think is the best metal guitarist to walk to this earth) are so underrated

  • Well lettuce and let us... not

    EVER...EVER forget one of the most

    Greatest guitarist on this planet...

    The most wonderful CRISS OLIVA..

    There would be no Savatage without that great humble man!

    Yes Caffery and Skolnick are bad ass

    Just NO Criss Oliva!!!!

  • The best thing about that one is that I was standing in the front row back then.. god, how I miss Dynamo Open Air, the best fucking festival ever...

    huge show, Sava played back then...

  • Just because metallica are on mtv doesnt make them a good band, they are a good band because they play good music and so do Savatage, they are one of the most underrated bands and they are EPIC!

  • Great video! so hard to find good live savatage besides japan! Savatage rules!

  • it's zak stevens who's singing

  • Jon Oliva has to be one of the top 5 metal singers ever

  • This band should have been as big as Metallica, they were that good. No matter how many line-up changes, they still kicked ass. I wish they would do anotrher album since they are making way more money doing TSO, I doubt it willl ever happen

  • METALLICA -MTV factor

    SAVATAGE - NOTHING

    this is for Savatage was not sold to commercial mtv

  • greatest band on earth

  • THE most underrated by far!!!!

  • AMEN!!!!!

    And friggin....

    JOHNNY LEE MIDDLETON....

    Is one of the most...underrated....

    ASS KICKING bass players...

    In metal...

    Since Steve Harris...

    Bad...

    BAD!... motha JACK!!!

    On bass!!!

  • totally agree,

  • Amazing performance here, great album this one, criminally underrated. Hell the whole freakin band is totally underrated. The Oliva years were of course classic, but I enjoyed the Dead/Magellan works as well, very epic!

  • Ahhhhh....cant believe it....THX for postin´..

    I was there in 96...great gig.

  • Perchè quel pirla durante l'assolo riprende la ritmica? O_O

  • Great video! By the way, Sava fans, check out my note section of my profile: new Savatage blog with boots for download! :D

  • great;great great savatage; rage;king diamond

  • I remember me being there at the DOA festival. Wicked show, but it was not from the Wake of Magellan Tour. That album was released in 1998

  • The vocalist looks like Cliff Burton.

  • OmG, this is the ugliest guitar I've ever seen.

    Savatage rules...

  • Dude, tell me about it. The original Gibson design, called the Moderne only got 500 units produced in '81, almost 25 years after it was designed. The design is strangely popular, even copies are relatively hard to come by.

    But it looks like ass, even on Caffery!

  • Thx man, never heard the name before...now I know...:-)

  • Which of the guitarist of savatage was heavily influenced by Michael Schenker. He rated Schenker as his fav GP and ranked him number 1. Anyone know

  • has to be Oliva....

  • I just found out it was all of them. Caffery rated Schenker number and Skolnick and testament rated number 2.

    Thanx and peace out.

  • Simply awesome!!!!!

  • OMG Jeff Plate is a fuckin machine behind the drumkits! Amazing!

    And Zak is just perfect as always!

    Brilliant!

  • hahahahha..eram novinhos xD

  • zak stevens is zak stevens and he doesnt sound like anyone else!one of the best rock singers EVER!totally underrated.savatage rules!!!

  • great stuff. but, hey guys. Read this: --SAVATAGE is UNDERRATED-- Oh, fok.. damn it. World sucks, I'm going with mr Magellan to the end of the fucking space. \,,/ Bye. See ya.

  • singer sounds like Geoff Tate from queensryche

  • zakk stevens dudeeee number #1

  • Al pitrelli is incredible but chris is an insane lead guitarist

  • YOU FORGET CRISS OLIVA BRO....compare this GOD with Chris and Pitrelli........

  • This is probably the highest quality vid i've ever seen on Youtube

  • this is crap quality by youtube standards. Watch the presidential debates or anything from the download festival.

  • dude this shit is was recorded 12 years ago...you wanna compare the camera quality we have now to 12 years ago???there wasn't even proper internet back then...PC wasn't even a household item...they didn't even probably know how to fuckin convert tape to video file compatible with internet sharing...how da fuck you come off comparing this to presidential debates lolz

    ps. SAVATAGE FUCKIN RULEZ BABYYY \m/

  • actually if you think about it: look up a modern live performance and they are recorded off camera phones with at most 8megapixels with a vga camera recording- vga meaning basic.

    anything from the early 90's was recorded onto a proper camcorder which clearly is better quality.

  • miss Zack .........what happened to them are they still together?

  • long live the 80's heavy, Savatage a great band

  • lol it's zak stevens, jon is 3 times bigger..

  • Zac was the best one to replace jon...

  • I think this singer is not John Oliva. I'm gonna check out Savatage home page.

  • God bless Savatage!!!!!

  • savatage is the god!!!

  • holy crap this rocks! I wish they'd go on tour again.

  • Awesome. So under-appreciated. Brilliant album too !

  • Chris Caffery is the rythm guitar!!!

    The first guitar is Al Pitrelli, one of best fuckin' guistarist of the world,check it!

    Savatage rules

  • Al pitrelli is incredible but chris is an insane lead guitarist

  • @tosatto80 Check out Pitrelli on Megadeth's "Rude Awakening" dvd,phukin' awsome!!

  • chris caffery is such a GOD!!!! mmm! check out his myspace!!!! and check out his upstate NY myspace page on his top friends!!!!!

  • Zak ROCKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSss

  • KILLER!!

  • Caffery is the man!

  • Cool song and video but sure is an ugly ass guitar caff is playing.

  • his name is CHRIS CAFFERY!!!

    AND I WASNT COMPARING SAVATAGE TO ANY DUMBASS RAPPER, I WAS MAKING A POINT THAT RAP SUCKS

    SATY TRUE TO ROCK

  • Yes, you didn't compared it to rap, but i think he meant that just the fact that you mentioned the word "rap" in the comments for a savatage song was insulting to him.

  • True metaaaaaaal!

  • what is the name of guitarist in the bulls jersey?

  • chris caffery

  • ok u can't understand what i mean...

  • Personaly i prefer rap from shakira.I never liked rap but i also never blamed it.50 cent may be a little shit but underground rap is not bad.METAL RULES:P

  • I can't believe you guy's are comparing RAP to Savatage or Metal in general..RAP is shit!!! A bunch of crack heads and gun toting

    fools singing about sex and violence with no musical talent behind them, computerized drums and rythms isn't talent' It's brain dead crap compared many rock and progressive music out there. So go search for your Shakira some where else...

  • I didn`t like the CIIC stuff on youtube,but I love the last savatage album Poets and Madmen (wich is seems to be some kind of tabooed) and I ´m still wondering, why al has left the band...

  • Come one mate, you can't be serious in comparing Savatage to any kind of Rap, can you? I mean, rap can't be described as music for that matter. And if Savatage are one thing, they are musicians, they are artists. Simple as that.

  • SCREW U

  • Great song and great sound. Love it.

  • vr it!

    savatage owning ...and can still fuck any band from the U.S up now!

  • Savatage = one of the best metal band ever. I do hope they will tour again one last time

  • can somebody tell me what guitar is playing that blond guy...

  • Sorry I can't tell you the name of the GUITAR...

    But the "blond guy" is the great Chris Caffery...

    Who played on "Gutter Ballet"...

    As well as the newer Savatage stuff...

    Was like Criss Oliva's little brother...

    Learned everything he knows on guitar from Criss...

    Try's and I say TRY'S to play note for note...

    Every Criss solo live....

    He's no Criss...

    But he's still pretty bad ass!

  • ok...thanks anyway...but that guitar is pretty sick...

  • gibson moderne

  • love savatage

  • Wow, caffery and pitrelly at guitars were

    just great :D

  • Guys quit lamenting Savatage and enjoy Jon Oliva's Pain which is the closest thing to Savatage were gonna get anyway. Mentallyurs said it best "It's All About Chris Oliva, Period!!!!" Maniacal Renderings has a lot of Criss' old riffs Jon found stored away for years. Criss lives on and was so damn criminally underrated.

  • Greatttttttttttttt

    I wish savatage could return,,, I have a question,, Why Christmas eve 12/24 song was not famous when it was with Savatage while it was famous when it was with TSO...

  • That is the great mystery. I read an interview where Jon Oliva said 'all the guys know it's Savatage (refering to TSO) we just don't call it that' and 'we had the sound, but no one was buying it (when it was called Savatage) This is and example where a certain way of marketing worked, and another didn't.

  • Look for future TSO album's to drift away from the Christmas theme. Jon Oliva said in that interview that basically, Dead Winter Dead, Wake of Magellan were TSO albums.

  • TSO has already "drifted" away or whatever...

    With "Beethoven's Last Night"

    And bullshit...

    I've never heard Jon say that about DWD or WOM...

    They were-are strictly SAVATAGE albums!

    Just without his wonderful brother!

    It's ALL ABOUT CRISS OLIVA!

    PERIOD!

  • He said in that interveiw that as far as he was concerned, 'Savatage died with (his) brother', that's why the albums I mentioned might as well be TSO to him.

  • Very nice performance, would have been nice to have more crowd shots but excellent none the less

  • al is just fucking mean!

  • Hallo Henningway :D

    Great Show of Savatage. I WAS THERE!!! :)

    cya

  • You lucky sonofa...

    hehe, no offense mate, but you are relly lucky to have been able to see this band live and at such a good set-up. Lucky indeed!

  • OMFG!! Where has that gem been for 11 years? Great pro shot video! Thanks for sharing!

  • GREAT. Dead Winter Dead is in my top 5 favorite albums ever. Al Pitrelli is awesome!. We need more Savatage videos!!!. Thanks for upload this mongolator. Que viva Savatage!!! (Savatage Rules!!!)

  • are they still a band?

  • hmm, well...not really.

    Most parts of the band made career with their project: Trans Sibirian Orchestra and they have a lot of performances during the years, so they have no time or energy for Savatage.

    When you need to hear something new, listen to "Jon Olivas Pain"...this is more Savatage than the band itself at the moment.

  • The band members are having more comercial success with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra Project. At the moment they have no big plans for Savatage, but they want to relase some DVD compilation stuff and make one more anniversary tour. You can listen by now Circle II Circle band with the singer of this video, they have very savatage taste on their last album "Burden Of Truth" (2006). I Full recomend the album.
