TSO Concert

For my hubby's birthday present, I gave him tickets to go see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra in concert.  (Click here to see them in action.)  Thank goodness he took me as his date.  We have always wanted to go....they come every year at this time and we have said we should go.  So what luck that they were here the day after my hubby's bday and we could get tickets.

It was a great show....one unlike any I have ever seen, or heard.  It was loud!  It was bright!  It was so rock n roll!  It was awesome!  There really was an orchestra playing but you would never know it from the electric guitars, the drums, the keyboards.  There were strobe lights and lasers and spotlights moving all around.  There was fire! There were visuals on the screens.  There was snow coming down onto the audience.  There were performers running down the isles....they were up on platforms in the air....they were flipping their long hair ALL THE TIME!  It was a great show.

 

It did tell a story....a Christmas story of sorts.  That was the first hour or so of the show....then the last hour or more was just plain rock.  It brought me back to my high school days and the concerts we used to go to.  We had to laugh as we were sitting next to a 75 year old man and his wife and he was loving it.  He told us he comes every year and thinks it is fabulous.  Really?  I would have totally thought it was too loud for someone that age, but he was totally rockin out.

 

We look forward to next year when we can see if we can get closer to the stage.....so it can be louder!  And brighter!  And we can totally rock out then!  We loved it!
