Trans-Savatage Orchestra?


Lots of news coming out of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra camp. A new Savatage greatest hits compilation: Still The Orchestra Plays: Greatest Hits Vol. 1 & 2 is scheduled for release in the coming months. The set is two discs with a bonus DVD filmed in Japan and includes three bonus tracks recorded by singer Jon Oliva in 2009. The band will follow this by re-releasing remastered versions of their entire catalogue. No word on whether those famous rumored "lost tracks" from Streets: A Rock Opera will be included.

Here's the track list:

01. Power Of The Night
02. Hall Of The Mountain King
03. 24 Hours Ago
04. Legions
05. Gutter Ballet
06. Summer's Rain
07. When The Crowds Are Gone
08. Ghost In The Ruins
09. If I Go Away
10. New York City Don't Mean Nothing
11. Edge Of Thorns
12. All That I Bleed

CD2: Greatest Hits Vol.2:

01. Handful Of Rain
02. Chance
03. One Child
04. I Am
05. Anymore
06. Hourglass
07. The Wake Of Magellan
08. Morphine Child

Bonus tracks (recorded by Jon Oliva in 2009):

09. Anymore (acoustic)
10. Not What You See (acoustic)
11. Out On The Streets (acoustic)

However, there are no plans for a Sava-reunion, despite most of the band members' current gig with Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Jon Oliva's Pain has a new record coming out in March, and the singer is working on Gutter Ballet, a Broadway show based on the Streets storyline. Finally, TSO is also planning a European tour, followed by their first non-holiday tour in the Spring of 2010 in support of their double album Night Castle.
