Yup--some of the members were in the metal band Savatage; The drummer is from Horseheads, and the musical director/main keyboard guy (Bob Kinkel) is from Williamsville. The rest are from NYC and beyond.
Great show in Buffalo too, sold out HSBC for two shows. Got some sweet front/center seats! My wife talked Bob into coming out into the arena before the show to say hi to some of her friends from work, a whole bunch of middle aged groupies. She reminds me every year that she dated Bob for awhile in high school. We got to see some of the pyro setups backstage, really impressive. They've got 12 semi trucks full of stuff for their stage setup.
Just got an Email from Bob----they played a show in NJ and ROGER DALTRY came out for several songs; Pinball wizard, Behind Blue Eyes etc. Google YouTube for some clips. They had to find a wired mike for Daltry so he could do his "windmill microphone" thing. Bob has a hard time believing he's playing with some of the guys he idolized "back in the day". Last year they played with Greg Lake from Emerson, Lake and Palmer and some of the members of Yes.
