They have 2 separate bands.
One east coast and one west coast.
This year will be the 7th or 8th year in a row for me and the bride.
Yes, they do have 2 bands, which does make them unique. One is essentially the A band, the other is the B. Not much difference between the two, all members are exceptionally talented.
Bride? Congrats. Live long and prosper.
is there a guy named "jon oliva" that is still affiliated with them?
Yes, he is an essential part of the band. Savatage rules!
