Trans-Siberian Orchestra - "Believe" Live

This is one of my favorite songs from SAVATAGE! Glad to see TSO playing it!

Streets is one of the best cds ever made!

December 7th 2008 (Evening Show)
Albany NY

RIP Criss!

So after all these one night stands
You've ended up with heart in hand
A child alone
On your own
Retreating
Regretful for the things you're not
And all dreams you haven't got
Without a home
A heart of stone
Lies bleeding

And for all the roads you followed
And for all you did not find
And for all the things you had to leave behind

I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark
I hear your screams
Don't turn away
Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
All I ask of you
Believe
Your childhood eyes were so intense
While bartering your innocence
For bits of string
Grown-up wings
You needed

But when you had to add them up
You found that they were not enough
To get you in
Pay for sins repeated

And for all the years you borrowed
And for all the tears you cried
And for all the fears you had to keep inside

I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark
I hear your screams
Don't turn away
Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
And all I ask of you is
Believe

Not NEARLY as good as the "Tage's" version....Jon knocked this song out of the park...

@sherrielorea

So true... Kind of lost the emotion and power.

[shazeef1]

I "believe" I'm going to puke. This guy's voice would be more appropriate for a band like Meshuggah, but he obviously wouldn't be comfortable in front of kids; they'd see him for the poser he is. He might as well stick to the Bay area and milk his feigned interest in the Haight- Ashbury period.

@shazeef1

Did Tim still your wife or something? or are you just a Tim hating troll? I love the fact at how may times you looked around and posted how much you hate him. Rather pathetic

[9891Cassandra]

I adore Tim's version. Jon himself let him sing it so for sure he loves his voice. This song must be very important for Jon and I think he wouldn't let it be sung by everyone. Tim is a wonderful singer. However, I understand people who prefer the original version. But I am in love with Tim's voice.

@9891Cassandra

Jon really didn't have much say in it.

[maidenfans]

this is good cover but with jon oliva in vocals are a lot better...

please jon make a SAVATAGE reunion!!!

[Wikkid666]

@drummerkat9

You are something... cat isn't it

[shazeef1]

@Wikkid666 I love the fact that you cruised Tim's clips and saw my other posts, is that you, Tim? If not, you must know him since you said, "Did Tim still your wife or something?". I'm assuming you meant steal but I suppose you could have meant stiff, same difference, but alas, this did not happen, I just know him for the phony he is. He should have stuck with being a TromBONER.

[sherrielorea]

@Wikkid666 Yep...you're right..not nearly up to par...

I actually saw them for the first time 11-14-2011 in Lubbock, Texas..and was the only person in the arena wearing a SAVATAGE T-Shirt..When Johnny Lee was introduced I stood up(only about 20 ft. from the stage)and screamed SAVATAGE!

He looked...and seeing my shirt.. pointed me out to Angus and they both smiled and waved...it made my night!....

and you know... I think it might have made his night too..heh...heh...

great memory..

[luftwafa1]

This guy sucks huge, but of course there is only one jon olivia, and that said there will ever only be one savatage. the 80s missed the best banger band on the planet, except for the intelligent bangers like us, savatage nation.

[gimpy204]

Good god what the hell?i am am a Savatage fan from 86'.this sounds like a guy who ate 12 glass cocks and then 12 real cocks ..what the fuck?????

[550JB]

@Wikkid666 I didn't realize Zak wasn't the original vocalist for this song. Apparently it was Jon Oliva.

[jlyn1980]

@550JB Zak is touring with his own band Circle II Circle, they are in the Chicago area quite a bit. In the next few weeks they will be heading over to Europe to do festivals. I've had the privilege of hanging out with him a few times. Really really nice guy.
