Steve Balsamo - Immortal from Eric Woolfson's Poe DVD - 2003

[wrfmom]

Time to bring SB to the States - his rock music is nice but the theater songs give him a chance to shine way beyond The Storys' music. The world deserves a Steve Balsamo in our musical and artistic lives. I hope Steve gets a chance to "Occupy Broadway!" :)

WHY is this guy NOT known in the US???

[1Youngcat]

@wrfmom Why is he NOT known enough in his own country either? He is in certain circles. In the West End Theatre he is a legend, even though he's only done three musicals. This being one. He is known to fans of Jon Lord from Deep Purple who are discovering him through his being Jon's vocalist for his international concerts. He can count many top Rock musicians as fans too, but the wider public are not being given the chance. Great shame!

you shouldn't have the bird as a special effect..:/

But,the performance and the video are great!!

@srjbjt The bird is actually a raven and it was part of the performance and brought in by a special handler. The raven wasn't harmed and only made an appearance on Steve's shoulder at this point in the show. The raven didn't mind and took it all in his stride. They are very magnificent birds. As you can see, Steve hands the raven over to it's handler.
