Savatage "When The Crowds Are Gone", Tilburg 2002

[@dar1o]

Jon Oliva, Criss Oliva and Paul O'Neill: the best songwriting team in history! The world needs more Savatage! #Savatage #SavatageForever #JonOliva #CrissOliva #PaulONeill

[@CiceroSantiagobrasilia]

Acho difícil existir outra banda tão top como esta neste estilo único deles viu

[@CiceroSantiagobrasilia]

e acho melhor tb qdo o Jon canta esta música toda, ele dá vida a esta música como ninguém

[@trance9158]

2nd best... Daisley, Rhoads, and Kerslake are first.

[@luciotestament]

Who listen in 2020? Hugs from brasil

[@AFx3144]

I am listening to it again while taking a shower. LOL It is hot as hell here today. I saw a Savatage's gig in 2003 at ATL Hall in Rio.

[@PGGMusic]

Ofcourse, and even in 2021. Savatage is still one of my favourite bands.

[@davidgardiner4620]

Hugs from los estados de unidos tambien

[@davidgardiner4620]

@@AFx3144 wish i could have seen them alexander and i still haven't TSO yet either

[@divinederelicts2956]

Just now..

[@inbetweentics]

savatage has to be the most underrated metal band of the '80s into the early '90s. i knew the moment i heard jon's piano playing and singing, that unmistakable sound of savatage so well founded on brother criss' guitar work, and that astounding lyrical content, that this band MADE you sit up and pay attention. one only has to listen to trans siberian orchestra to hear the continuance of this colossal presence.

[@davidgardiner4620]

Fucking awesome band forever

[@davidgardiner4620]

Savatage was WAY UNDERRATED IMO

[@ivanadafunic7416]

When Jon Oliva sings: "I don't know where the years have gone", I believe him.

always a savatage fan

[@matt2eadgbe]

I have so much respect for Chris Caffery, and I think he is awesome. But, man.... I SO wish Criss Oliva was still around. He was truly a gifted musician. One of the rare players that could write a complete song. Nasty riffs, and superb solos with soul and feeling that were always a perfect fit. He deserves to be mentionsed along with greats such as Randy Rhoads, Van Halen, Dimebag, Zakk Wylde, Brian May, and David Gilmore.

[@royv8637]

matt2eadgbe True,all true.. And caffrey had BIG shoes to fill and did a GREAT job.

[@davidgardiner4620]

So right Matt

[@n.e.e.n.official6639]

Yeah!! Criss Oliva!!

[@БобурХаитов-д8ю]

O yeah!🌹

[@fe4rfornothing152]

Agree, i even saw Chris caffey commented on a tribute song here on youtube.

[@Defender80s]

One of the most beautful power ballads ever. I hope Savatage remains Savatage and not a lonley Jhon Oliva. Ofcourse in the memory of Chris. Whom we love and miss dearly. We love you guys. Please keep making music for all the dreamers, loners, burners, outcasts, depressives and people who love music in general. Thank you SAVATAGE ❤

[@katerinat.6952]

I completely agree ❤️

[@livemusicjkd7703]

JON OLIVA

[@thomasgray7128]

Chris nailed all the licks from Cris Oliva!!! Such a great player and dedication to guitar!! Love all of the musicians involved!!😃😃🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥

[@akaboo69]

Caffery is doing great on the Oliva solos Criss would be proud

[@stephenadamsmusicalinterpr4203]

Criss GOAT metal guitarist🥀

[@ctfan1486]

Matt Laporte did a really good job also. R.I.P. Matt.

[@Mark_Demaline]

Criss is proud.

[@thomasgray7128]

Agreed Chris is an amazing guitarist, Cris Oliva would be proud!! RIP Cris , I love TSO as well!! Seen them 4 times!!😁🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@geoffreybennett86]

Caffery is a seriously versatile player. He is willing to play what ever you need him to play, just a natural talent. Criss Oliva requires no introduction, he was a legend

[@Koriian]

Very unrated in my opinion

[@ecouture33]

Chris, amazing solo!! Love the shout out to your brother guitarist Chris!!! You both are truly 2 of the best to ever play!!!

[@SASTORM]

I'm turning 50 in a couple years and I can relate to the lyrics "I dont know where the years have gone memories can only last so long...", and I got seriously into Savatage when a friend of mine was about to throw away the tape which contained this song, I wish so much I could go back to those days and make things right around 1990

[@LazarusBestOf]

Here Come the Tears.......

[@sleepbetraysme]

This is just an incredible fucking song. Period.

[@davidgardiner4620]

Hell yeah Sleep

[@dougkyser3900]

I was at Chris's last show. Heard about it when I got home. We made it home safe, but he did not, RIP brother

[@davidgardiner4620]

That sucks Doug!

[@chosenfool]

The fact that this show is not available on dvd is one of the true injustices of life on earth! Savatage rules and Jon Oliva is God!!!

[@dankourny]

Savatage - one of the greatest yet most underappreciated (mainstream) metal bands of all time. Though they morphed into TSO and had great success, nothing would be getting a chance to see a full set of Savatage one more time.

[@zgdiumi]

1:42 Tears keep falling...Respect

[@ossos33]

"I wasted my time .... till time wasted me" ... Oliva in our hearts ... forever ...

[@cyn37211]

Osama Abdel Latif This chorus is also in the song "Believe", done by Savatage & then Trans Siberian Orchestra (The band that Savatage eventually became, after "Christmas Eve, Sarajevo", from "Dead Winter, Dead" became a super hit)

[@tylerpenner1995]

Osama Abdel Latif it is again mentioned in the savatage song "alone you breathe"

[@andrewmascaro8231]

"I am the way. I am the Light" is the part of Believe that is in Alone You Breathe

[@PraiseJesusOurKing]

driving home from work some time in the early 90s in denver this song came on Zrock radio and changed my life for ever

[@savatagedude]

that was the shirt that was available at the Criss Oliva 10 yr tribute show in Tampa in 2003. I was there, and am lucky to own one of them. I wear it with pride!

[@adamwagner2574]

I love Jon so much. I wish he never stopped singing for Savatage.

[@cyn37211]

Adam Wagner He ruined his voice for a while, & had to stop singing for a year! Then, he had to take voice lessons to learn to sing properly. He does sing on many tracks of the TSO albums, but has formed another band, Jon Oliva's Pain.

[@adamwagner2574]

yeah i'm aware... I think Savatage should have split after Jon left and reformed when he was ready to come back. Good to see another Jon fan though... rock on brother

[@adamwagner2574]

*sister

[@cyn37211]

Adam Wagner Lol! Yes, Jon is the backbone of Savatage, TSO, & JOP. He has a great range, from that throaty growl to those high, crystal notes. He said Savatage will always exist in TSO, but I wish he'd get out on the stage & do at least a few numbers with them!

[@adamwagner2574]

I couldn't agree more.

[@aldelacruz5526]

My all time favorite American band ❤

[@katerinat.6952]

My favorite band forever ❤

[@scott193]

April 2024 new Savatage album and tour ❤

[@Billyfurl]

It saddens me to see it without criss oliva. But he lives on through the music. This song without a doubt is a heart wrencher. So beautifully and skillfully written like so many songs that Savatage had written. When Jon Oliva performs these it makes me wonder what he feels emotionally not seeing his brother there like he once did.

[@musickman100]

Love, Love, Love Savatage R.I.P Criss❤ All Hail the Mountain King Love you Jon.

[@nanamussikouri7526]

I love this line up, even Damond

[@sandiduran6538]

I missed WAY too much. I wish it would have been written in bold black print on my very first TSO cd.. 5 years Ago. Still would have loved to see Criss while he was still alive of course. The world will never know what could have been......miss you Criss

[@MetalHeart8787]

Glad to hear you Discovered Savatage through trans Siberian Orchestra.ive been a Savatage fan since 1987, so yeah I also Love TSO.

[@mbolu349]

I am embarrassed to admit that this is the only song that I ever really listened to from this band. Caught it on Head Bangers Ball back in the day. And now keep coming back to it from time to time on KZbin. Such an amazing composition.

[@crusheverything4449]

Well, check out their other stuff, man! You won’t regret it!!

[@JKDDarthSniper]

Fucking song makes me cry every GD time

[@KevinZ2269]

I saw these guys play twice live in there hay day. Man just mind blowing talent. I was fortunate to see the original cast with Chris and company. including the beast "Doc" on drums!! Wow he gave me chills live. If you guys ever saw the original line up you know what I mean. I was shocked when I heard about Chris. Savatage music was always very original. It had almost a Beatles - Metal - Phantom of the opera feel to it. Just super cool. Never heard anything like it to this day. Love you guys always if you are out there!! ROCK ON !!!!

[@davidgardiner4620]

Hell yes Kevin, they rule!!!!!!

[@Unholy-Warmaster]

a legendary song for a amazing band....Savatage !!!! thanx for share !!!

[@ZacMetal99]

It heavily bothers me that I wasn't even born when Criss was taken. He is my guitar god without a doubt and I base my style on his playing, all from Sirens all the way to Edge Of Thorns. R.I.P Criss.

[@waltertav]

When he died there was no internet. So although I was already a fan (at the age of 10, thanks to older brothers) I had no idea what transpired. When I finally inherited all their albums (my brothers moved to other music) I played them incessantly. I understand you though and am happy that people born later on can appreciate them equally. It speaks volumes about the quality of their music.

[@BCTTV_DTJ]

I'm a huge fan of Savatage and heavily influenced by Criss' playing as well. I was in my early twenties when he died and it was like a punch to my gut when I found out.

[@stephenadamsmusicalinterpr4203]

@ZacMetal99, inside you have Criss’ spirit🎸🤟🙏

[@vleksmax]

was there, great evening with great friends and offcourse briljant band.

[@thepatester]

Saw Savatage this same year (2002) at Wacken. Such a great memory!

This is an amazing preformance of this song!! I love the opening solo!!! So wonderful!!

[@skullkrusher381]

I still haven't heard anyone playing guitar the way Criss Oliva did. His solos were full of emotions.

The main one is Chris Caffery - a Savatage veteran, as you can hear in his heartrending guitar work here (best concert I've ever been to in my life).

[@darrensauceda8152]

Saw themm At the SHOWCASE in San Antonio Tx. In the late 80s. They KICKED ASS!🔊🎤🎹🎸

this is 2002,almost 9 years after Criss passed away. the guitarist here is Christopher Caffery,who actually was the original second guitarist of the band when this song came out back in 1989.
