I saw them in 1990 open for Testament.

For some reason I never really got into Savatage.

That one they can do, it's more the DWD and Wake stuff I'm dreading.

And the Wacken gig was terrible, but I don't like TSO much so no surprise.
So they took my wishlist and did the exact opposite, 2/3 of the set is post-Criss stuff:

They have to push the later era material since it is going to be the later era lineup performing. Just makes sense.

Wonder whatever happened to Keith Collins. He was the driving force of the business end of the band in the early days. He used to do the Tampa Bay Metal Awards and book various shows. It would be cool if Jason Green could dig him up for an interview and tell the early stories of the band.

It's a reunion after two decades, they can do whatever they want.
But what they want seems different from what the fans want:

Don't care either way, but the current singer sucks...........the Euro-metal-opera vocal style/phrasing, is cringeworthy......

I saw some clips of their new shows and they sound good. They need to stop wearing those vests with no shirt though.
