...17 years ago today Criss was taken from us by a drunk driver. He's truly a legend, so this tune goes out to him.

Yeah, Dawn passed away not too long ago.
Will put on Believe now in Criss' memory (and his wife's too).
I found these a few weeks ago while going through some old photo albums. I snapped these in a bar called the Living Room in Providence, RI. This was probably around '89. I had totally forgotten that I made it to the rail at that show.

We also played a video pix presentation of Jon and the late, great
Criss Oliva as the introduction to our DVD concert in Tilburg,
Holland last Friday night. I will get the author to post it online
asap with the backing track being Silk-n-Steel.
Cheers!

That would have been 90 or later, since Jackson didn't start making that blue guitar until 90. I have always wanted that guitar in that (quite rare) colour. I never knew that Criss had one as well.
It could very well have been '90, I don't remember exactly. I was stationed in Groton CT from '87-'91 and it was the Gutter Ballet tour. According to Wikipedia the album was released on Dec 1, 1989, so it makes sense that the tour was several months later at least.

Chris has always been one of my favorite guitar players.... I still have a metal pick he gave me at the Thirsty Whale on the HALL OF THE MOUNTAIN KING tour... he played with such wreckless abandon and such a unique style... so much more music he could have blessed us with...RIP

It was great... I was leaning on the stage, right in front of Chris... I don't recall what song it was but he broke a string in the middle of a solo but continued going without missing a lick...very impressive!!!
He will always be one of my favorites
