Jon Oliva's Pain @ The Haunt in Yonkers, NY

While a little late in its reporting, a show that deserves mentioning was the recent CIRCLE II CIRCLE / JON OLIVA’S PAIN co-heading East Coast jaunt. Coinciding with both bands’ new releases (‘Delusions of Grandeur’ and ‘Global Warning’ respectively), the night marked the long overdue live fix for the patient U.S. SAVATAGE legions. None would leave disappointed. With a fantastic mix of powerful new material, classics, fan favorites, and special guests, it was truly a special event worth the years of waiting! Best of all, Jen was there to capture the night’s images for us all!
