For Savatage fans, Jon Olivia and Chris Cafferty side project. I use to sell a lot of these on the internet when it first came out as a German import only.
I was listening to some Charlie Daniels after his death and an old favorite name came up in South Gonna do it again. Original member Paul Butterfield Blues Band and in Rock HOF with that band. He is in the Rythm and Blues HOF and still in the living but how long who knows. I first saw his band opening for ZZ Top Tajas Tour. Elvin Bishop is one of my top favorite Slide guitarists. I caught his shows when he was nearby and is a favorite performer. He is in good form with him in this short concert.
I posted a vid for Saints in Hell a few years ago. One of my very favorite Priest tunes.

Wake the dead, the saints are in Hell
Wake the dead, they've come for the bell
Cover your fists
Razor your spears
It's been our possession
For 8,000 years
Fetch the scream eagles
Unleash the wild cats
Set loose the king cobras
And blood sucking bats
Wake the dead, the saints are in hell
Wake the dead, they've come for the bell
We are saints
In hell
We are saints
In hell
We're going down
Into the fire
We're going down
Into the fire
The streets run with blood from the mass mutilation
As carnage took toll for the bell
Abattoir, abattoir, mon Dieu quelle horreur
For a time is was like second hell
Saints in Hell
Saints in Hell
The battle is over, the saints are alive
How can we all thank you, we felt so despised
Saints in Hell
Saints in Hell
Saints in Hell
Saints in Hell
Saints in Hell
Saints in Hell

Fates Warning reminds me of Fair Warning, not the music, but the name. I know you probably never heard of them. They were a disco band out of Miami who saw the writing on the wall in 1981, that disco was dying. They changed their name to Fates Warning, grew their hair and got a rock producer. The producer wrote the song She Don't Know Me, its the same song on Bon Jovi's first album and the only song Jon Bonjovi or a member of his band didn't write.
Fair Warning and Bon Jovi were both signed at the same time by Mercury Records. After both bands recorded a debut album, the label people looked at what they had, and decided Bon Jovi had more potential. They shelved the Fair Warning album and it was never released. The best song on the album they gave to Bon Jovi who recorded it and it was on their debut album. It became a hit after their first single Runaway. I prefer the FW version better, but they lacked the image that the label wanted.
