SAVATAGE / TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA / DORO guitarist Chris Caffery has checked in with the following TSO update:

"Holy Toledo I am tired!

We are sitting on the bus waiting to drive from Lansing to Grand Rapids. Great show tonite. First time ever in Lansing and sold out! Paul is here, will be all weekend.

The Toledo shows were so much fun. That building, the Seagate Center, it is so odd. It is like a giant cafeteria, but for some reason it was just so much fun to play there this time. Great mood in the crowd and band. We can't use all of our pyro and none of the light trusses could move. But it was fun. The first day we soundchecked after 6PM because they were having trouble with a lift to hang the light trusses.

The second night I got my Tony Packo's hot dogs! MASH fans will know what I am talking about. Klinger was from Toledo and always talked about Tony Packo's. I love em. The fried pickles as well!

We arrived late here today cuz we stayed in Toledo last night. I am feeling a lil run down and sick but I am hopeful it is just normal fatigue. On Sunday in Chicago, Dean himself from Dean guitars will be there. I am excited!

Looking forward to tomorrow. Grand Rapids afternoon crowds are always fun.

Talk to you sometime this weekend!"

Peace!
