JON OLIVA'S PAIN - "Lost" DVD Footage To Surface With Next Album
July 11, 2013, 10 years ago
On October 15th, 2011 JON OLIVA'S PAIN filmed their show in Tilburg, Holland at 013 for a future DVD released. That DVD has yet to surface, and in a recent interview with frontman Jon Oliva (SAVATAGE), BW&BK; scribe Carl Begai asked him about the fate of the "lost" footage:
"We have had somebody working on it," says Oliva. "The problem was a lot of the material we got back was corrupted. We got stuff back where all you could see was guys' knees and shoes. And then songs would drop out for 30 seconds in the middle. The people who shot it had some technical problems, but we were able to send the footage to somebody and have it salvaged. We've got about 30 minutes worth of usable footage that we're probably going to put on the next JOP record as a bonus."Check out BW&BK;'s new interview with Oliva about his solo album, Raise The Curtain, at this location.
More than thirty years after the start of his career with Savatage, and successive projects/bands like TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA and Jon Oliva's Pain, now legendary songwriter and performer Jon Oliva released his first ever solo album, titled Raise The Curtain. The album was released simply under the banner OLIVA and you can expect a mixture of Jon Oliva’s early influences and the material he wrote and recorded throughout his whole artistic career.
