I think their masterpiece is Night of the Stormrider, but the definitive IE album is Dark Saga.
When I met Jon, this was the first American tour since firing Tim, and I harbored a lot of anger and resentment.
I popped by the bus and caught Jon, chilling in his Gibson sweat pants. He came down and signed my set list and shot the shit. I wanted so bad to give him a piece of my mind, but he was completely sweet and adamant that everyone who needed anything signed or any pictures got what they wanted. It was a big part of me letting that stuff finally subside. I realized that his decision making isn't to hurt the fans, but its for doing what he feels is truly right. Tim and Jon in a band together was a dream come true - albeit short in tenor. It was a time that came and went. I can't waste time pondering on the lost potential.
