* Concert Review *
Trans Siberian Orchestra
This was our fourth year to see this group and we had second row in the middle floor section (Every year the fan club gets us closer and closer - soon we'll be on stage!)
If you've never seen their Christmas tour, go!! I can tell you there are lights, lasers, explosions, fire, fireworks, raised platforms, snow, stars, etc. - but TSO must be experienced to be appreciated. They aren't just musicians and singers, they are performers. The first time, it returns you to wonder and awe of being a child, and it's impossible to wipe the smile off your face. I've been to over fifty concerts in my time, but nothing compares to TSO and their unique blend of rock and classical music.
The TSO experience is an A+ all the way!
And today, Friday Dec. 4 only, TSO has a special through Amazon on their new CD, NIght Castle - $3.99 for the digital download and $7.99 for the double CD!!!

Just one of the 300+ photos I took Wednesday night!
Thanks for the links, Diane!
ReplyDeleteI think TSO has already come through Charlotte, hasn't it? :( Think I read about it in the paper. I'll look out for it next year, though.

Thanks for more great links! I'm going to check out the PDF to Word right now.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the award. He's right, you're awesome!!
As I was checking out these interesting links, I was pleasantly surprised to see my blog included. Thank you for the mention.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, on your award and yes, the dog is adorable.
I’ll have to watch to see if TSO ever comes to Southwest Florida. It sounds like a wonderful concert.
Great links, as usual!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good time at the concert. I'll have to check TSO out. Maybe I've heard them and don't remember the name. I'm lousy at names.

I've never seen them in concert though i listen to them every year during the holiday season!
ReplyDeleteIf you take that many pictures, do you see the concert, except through the lens? And you must have a great camera because that pic is great.
ReplyDeleteMore great links. Thanks!

Thanks for the links! I saw TSO in Virginia a few years ago & loved the extravaganza!
ReplyDeleteAww, what a cute puppy!
ReplyDeleteLove the quote too. Cracked me up. I'm going go check on a few of these links.
Have a great day, Diane!
That's so cool that you've seen them, TexasRed!! You and I both know the show cannot be described...
ReplyDeleteHelen, I see MOST of the concert... LOL
Everyone, visit Amazon to hear TSO. I guarantee everyone has heard Wizards in Winter from an earlier album!
That is such a cool picture. You capture the energy and excitement and glamour just right.
