Presented for your approval: THE 30th ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL EDITION of Metal legends SAVATAGE live in their hometown of Tampa, Florida at the famed Rock-It Club on December 6, 1989 - a mere 5 days after the release of their then new album "Gutter Ballet." A 1-camera version of this video has been floating around in trading circles for a few years... however a 2nd camera was in the audience that night and this new 2-cam edit has never been available until now... almost 30 years after their blistering performance that night!! The Rock-It Club didn't know what had hit them by the time the first two new songs were played... "Of Rage And War" and "The Unholy"!!! Truly a great performance by the Savaboys and a very watchable DVD. The audio on the original recording was highly distorted and almost unlistenable, however the new remastering of the audio makes it much more enjoyable and a true classic Savatage bootleg that you will cherish if you are a fan of this band. This appears to be the first performance of the new Gutter Ballet material before a live audience, and what better place to debut it than in front of their hometown fans and friends It is also one of, if not the first performances of new rhythm guitarist Christopher Caffery (now a long time member of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra), who was added to the band as a full-time member after the Gutter Ballet album was recorded to bolster the band's overall live sound.
