Personnel

Support acts

The first leg in North America was supported by hard rock band Extreme from Massachusetts. The European leg of the tour had an arrangement of support acts. These acts were Little Angels, Billy Idol and Manic Street Preachers. Savatage had to turn down the European leg of the tour in Fall 1993 because of their own US commitments and then Criss Oliva's death on top of that.[1] Eight of the dates on the Australian leg of the tour was supported by Jimmy Barnes while the support act in Perth was local outfit Rough Justice. Wild T and the Spirit was the support act for the final leg of the tour in Canada.
