Trans Siberian Orchestra - Page 2

Anyone familier?

I can not overstate how fantastic Saturday's nights show was. I have seen my share of concerts, mostly rock and I can say that these guys put on as good a show if not better than just about anyone. The production of people it takes to pull off one of these showes is pretty amazing, I counted 23 people on stage singing or playing music at one time. They played most of their more popular stuff, some stuff from a new cd to be released, some not as popular stuff from their Beathovens Last Night cd and even did a cover of Led Zepplins Rockin Roll. All I could think about was whether or not all these older people knew they were coming to a real live rock concert? The light show was awsome and included snow that sparkled when the laser's hit the invidual flakes. I was thouroughly impressed and stunned. The group played a narrated set that was more or less what you get on their DVD and I was prepared to call it a night. One of the guitarist then came out with a Carolina Panthers Jersey (I live in North Carolina) on and introduced the band and thats when he informed us that they were going to be playing for a lot longer and it would include music that they had never done in previous tours, (I assume from their upcoming cd). Thier upcoming cd is not a Christmas cd and it is called Castle... something, I forget now. I suspect it will be out after Christmas so as to not confuse the buyer.

If you get a chance to witness this group do yourself a favor and get tickets. Our stadium was not full so tickets were still availabel, which is a shame considering how good these guys are.

Everyone pretty much stayed in their seats, but most everyone was rocking their heads back and forth with the beat....now picture a group of people ranging from 7 years old to 65+ all nodding their heads back and forth to music ranging from Led Zepplin to Beethoven...

Yeah it was pretty cool.

Concert dates have been announced for 2009. Looks like KC gets their fix on December 23rd. Perfect! Oops, just saw JD100367's post. I'll be in class the morning of the presale, but I'm guessing I'll have to make sure my students are hitting a lab right when the sale hits. I've hit 3rd rowm 1st row and 24th row the last three years. Here's hoping I return to the front row this year!

Uh, which two days?

You really should include a snippet of a show or something...

I've been to a Christmas time show of theirs (that was freaking epic) but I have a question for those of you who have been to non-Christmas time concerts, do they still play Christmas music at those maybe in a lesser volume...or maybe not at all. BTW...for those wondering, seeing Wizards In Winter live is one of the coolest visual experiences anyone can ever experience. Like someone earlier said, the precision production is impeccable. I'd love to go to a non-Christmas show if there is a such thing.

Sweet... Very Pink Floyd-esque.

JD10367 · 11-18-2009, 11:16 PM

Just got back from the show. Holy f**k. Everything from last year, and more. Even some "Night Castle" stuff. Over two and a half hours. Go. Just go.

**Lzen** · 11-19-2009, 12:40 PM

Man, I really need to catch these guys next year. I bought Night Castle a few weeks ago and I love it. It is amazing. And a ton of songs, as well (27).

Rukdafaidas · 11-19-2009, 06:35 PM

Would this show be a good show for kids to attend? I have 5 and 9 year old boys.

Color me jealous. I sooo want to see this show.

Why do people only like metal during Christmas time? Its enjoyable all-year round, without the pretense of holiday cheer, I assure you.

Ok Reap you are recognized as of the Planets musical experts. What is your opinion of the Trans Siberian Orchestra?

Pretty damn cool live music experience. Lots of hard rocking covers of Christmas and holiday songs, but they really shine when covering orchestral material. This is because the metal genre is influenced heavily by classical composition and theory.
