Update for Accept show in Penns Peak 20th October:
"Accept announce Jason McMaster from Dangerous Toys and Watch Tower, to rock the stage with them tonight!!
As Mark is still on the road to recovery, he has been advised to rest a little more before hitting the stage for the remainder of the current US tour. ( We’ve sent him all the soup on earth 😉)
However, Accepts friend and outrageously brilliant Metal/ Rock singer, Jason McMaster, has been awesome enough to step in until Mark is back….for what will now be a one of a kind, unique Accept show!
History in the making!!
Jason is extremely familiar with Accepts vintage material, is a world class lead singer with spectacular stage presence and the guys are totally fired up to give you a sensational performance!
See you there!!
It’s gonna be a unique and thrilling show! We thank you again for all the kind wishes regarding Marks health. He is very grateful and says they help tremendously!"
Here's how he sang Run If You Can many years ago:

Lol We all be boomers sooner or later, after we see too many gigs. Not their best show but I'm impressed their professional attitude. They dont have their singer, only small and lame audience and they still do great show. Jason didnt have time prepare, I think he did ok job. Cant repalce Udo or Mark but nice that he helped band. I thnik band is really thight! Christopher is killer, and Martin and Uwe keep really tight rythm with him. You think they are not allowed to step front. I think they are where they want to be. They seem happy. Martin seems shy, he has improved much from first gigs but I think he likes to be back. Uwe had some problems with his leg, car crash or something. Wollf and Phil go to him, maybe thats easier. Nobody can replace Peter on stage. But Phil and Wolf play well together and give a great show.

Wolf commented when Uwe came on board that he was surprised at how well they gelled together. I had to skip this round so didn't get to see Phil play so I'll have to do that next time around. I really wish they would come to the Phoenix area already. If they're worried about crowd size, convince them to play second fiddle to Sabaton. They're playing before multiple thousand here now. It seems every tour, they have to move to a larger facility. Hopefully what used to be Comerica/Dodge theater (I *hate* naming rights without a unique name for the venue itself. Don't make me have to figure out where the F the show is every single time because you can't keep a sponsor for more than a year!) will hold out for a while because the next step after that is stadium shows. (Maybe Desert Sky but I think Comerica actually holds more.)

So, at least in NJ , there were 2 singers on stage .
I hope that the story with Baltes beeing one of two bass players of “Symphonic Terror” tour, it wont repeat. I like Mark .
Venue of 200 men capacity is a disaster . I hope Accept will be able to keep good production.

if wasp can sellout the marquee theater, accept could definitely do the same. i don't understand why they don't come here early.

Well, we have some analytics on vk.com . One guy mentioned that actually Accept tour some of the same US venues which they were touring back than in 1980s. So they think that Accept reached the same popularity , big or not so big, but they are back on the track.
So some of those venues are about 1.000 or even 2.000. But there were small clubs like Vamped , which You attended, or mid-sized Whisky a go-go with capacity of 500 .
In an interview with Wolf , journalist said that he was deeply impressed by “Restless and Wild” album back than in 1982 . Wolf was glad and surprised and he replied that actually all that Accept got in 1982 after the release of the album was…. silence.
I just can add my couple of cents that 1982 was silent but this is one of the best metal albums for decades .

wolf is not wrong. R&W is definitely the best metal album and most influential for decades!

He just wants an excuse to play and doesn't really care about the crowd size. Seems like doing a disservice to the fans though, not trying to build yourself up. It makes for lazy writing and lazy playing when you're not really pushing to be better than you are.

It's almost a Rock'N'Roll temple. It's been there so long and hosted so many bands. I mean, the DOORS were on that same stage, it's been there that long! It's kind of like playing Celebrity Theater here in Phoenix except that Celebrity Theater doesn't have nearly the same prestige, although it should. I mean, Johnny freakin' Cash was on that stage back in his hey day! There's even a photo of Liberace sitting at his piano. Since then, all kinds of big name rock and metal bands have been through there in addition to less pounding shows.
