Final Bell/Ghost in the Ruins is a live album by Savatage, in tribute to the memory of the early departed Criss Oliva. Many of the tracks listed below have since been added to the releases of other albums in the Savatage discography by SPV/Steamhammer Records in 2002. The album's title fore fills a wish of Jon Oliva's to have an album called Ghost in the Ruins, but, the aforementioned track from Streets is not included on the record, with the record instead featuring material from Savatage's earlier works prior to the album.
