Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Believe (Savatage tribute) for Kmorg

Man, that brought tears to my eyes! Thanks for posting that! It's so unfair that they need to go out as TSO to get these songs played!

They only did this with the west coast version of TSO. The whole country didn't even get a chance to see this.

JOP plays mostly Savatage songs too, bro. I think they took the Savatage name as far as they could.

But JOP will never play to the mass of people TSO does.

Why have I never realized that dude is white? He sounds like a black dude!

Either did Savatage. That's why TSO is so cool. They finally did it.

That was great, excellent post, thank god for the youtube downloader.

Who is the vocalist? He reminds me of Joe Cocker.

Pretty cool rendition, but I much personally prefer Jon singing that one.

i just think it's cool that maybe some people who only know who TSO are, will understand where they came form.

Definitely. That's a beautiful song that everyone should hear, no matter who sings it. I wonder if they mention Savatage by name at TSO concerts?

The one I saw, no. They did play Criss' acoustic piece off Sirens sivler edition before the show.

I got the feeling most people there had no clue about Savatage.

I find that to be sad statement, but I am sure it is true since I know I few people who love thier Christmas album but the heaviest cd in their collection is Michael Bolton

..and NOT the one with Bruce Kulick on it.

Love ya, Fred!

Whatever you do, don't stand up at a TSO show.

I believe it's Tom Hockenberry.

Looks like Tim Hockenberry. Check and see if you can tell.

I was at the East Coast show, and Alex Skolnik was at the east coast TSO. Al Petrelli was at the West Coast. They played Believe at the concert I went to, and yes Kmorg that was Alex.

Saxon loves Alex in TSO!

We were on our feet lots of times. Chris really knows how to work the crowd. I'm still reeling from that show. The lights the atmosphere. Wow is all I can say. Them violin players were out of this world. The other thing that I really liked was the gift to charity before the show started. Chris Caffery presented it. I felt that the second half of the show was a pure metal onslaught. Where we were sitting we could feel the heat from the pyro. I spent a lot of money though. Bought the T shirt, bought a program, and a Christmas tree ornament. I have listened to at least one Savatage album a day since the show. January 3, 2009.

This was by far the best concert I have ever attended in my life, and probably ever will

I doubt that at the concert I went to. There were lots of Savatage fans there. They went wild when they did Believe.

The show i went to, one guy almost got castrated for standing up. Not that that matters, it was a great show. Just a different audience than what I'm used to.

I suppose you are right, we saw everyone from 4 years old to probably 80 years old. Most everyone there was probably 40's or 50's though. The same was true of the Alice Cooper concert that I went to. But we were on our feet the entire concert at Alice Cooper. I've not been to any metal concerts before, so I was actually glad to have been able to sit at the TSO concerts.
