Once again, I must interrupt my Hakone<\/a> pictures with something discovered upon packing for our move to Japan. I found a box with photos from the 80s and early 90s that I had taken on a crappy little camera. The picture above is of Fates Warning, a band I loved in the 80s. Once John Arch was replaced with Ray Alder (guy on the right) I lost my enthusiasm. However, I had enough interest in the other band playing on this bill to go see them in Salt Lake City back in 1990. <\/p>\n

Jim Matheos, second from the left, was the brilliance behind the band. I could never really appreciate Alder’s voice though.<\/p>\n

\"sanctuary<\/a><\/p>\n

The band I really went to see was the opening act, Sanctuary. Their two CDs were my constant companions in the late 80s and early 90s. I still listen to them once a year or so for some good memories.<\/p>\n

\"Sean<\/a> <\/p>\n

The above guitarist is Lenny Rutledge. When Sanctuary turned into Nevermore he didn’t come along (like the bassist Jim Sheppard).<\/p>\n

\"Warrel<\/a><\/p>\n

Warrel Dane, on the other hand, is still going strong on his own and in Nevermore. I like Nevermore and his solo stuff, but the early Sanctuary stuff is still my favorite. He has some of the best pipes in the business.<\/p>\n

Dave Budbill is back there on drums somewhere. The club was very small and Fates Warning had all their stuff on the tiny stage too.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow I’ll show you another gig from the same time frame.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
