TSO

Shane & I had tickets to go see Trans-Siberian Orchestra today & I have been SO looking forward to going. Unfortunately, someone drank a little too much last night & wasn't feeling up to it so I called my girlfriend Jill who was MORE than happy to go with me as my date.

Jill & I got settled in our seats & were impressed with our view. Of course we had to take a self-portrait (notice the couple kissing in the upper left hand corner? I think they did that on purpose :)

From the opening song, I immediately got goosebumps. The show was narrated by a guy with an awesome low, bass voice & the music was phenomenal with all the displays of lights, lasers, pyrotechnics, spotlights among many other visual effects. There was a cast of 2 dozen musicians, singers & dancers & they rocked that place.


Towards the end of the show TSO played music other than Christmas music & it ended up being more of a rock show than a holiday show. There were dancers on the catwalk above the crowd doing their thing & lots of head-banging & hair-whipping going on:

They ended the show with a fireworks display, a shower of twinkly lights & a Merry Christmas message for all. It was a GREAT show & so glad Jill was able to come with as I would have been really disappointed to have missed it.
