The Trans-Siberian Orchestra

All I can say is…amazing. The whole night was a great expirience that was well worth the money. They were on stage for 2 and a half hours and completly rocked out the whole time. Some highlights: The bassist had an extreme amount of energy. He didnt speak at all but just the way he played and conducted himself on stage was awesome. The drummer was insane. His 15 min solo was outrageous and he kept going after that. Amazing double bass and a great show. One of the girls- her name is Jenifer, and she had a beautiful voice. Im gonna sound lame, but while she was on stage it was really captivating. One of my favorite parts was the Led Zeppelin Montage they did. They were in the middle of a song when the guitarist breaks out a double necked guitar, walking up to the singer and starts playing Stairway to Heaven. Then, the lights go out, you hear the drummer count it, and the lights come on and they play The Imagrant Song. They were totally rocking out and it was amazing. The light show they put on was great too. At some points it was just shadows rocking out to lazer lights and smoke. Other times, there was just a cave of light around the band members and you could see them perfectly, like they were outlined. All of the group members were masters of their trade and the should was just amazing. Afterwards, we met them, and they are super cool. Definitly an feeling everyone should expirience. Later!

  1. Joey, i only wish I could have been there too… maybe next year they will be in town like they were last year and we will be awesome!

  2. Note that much of your praise was about the concert itself; with the lighting effects and stuff. I wish i was there to experience the concert, and not just their music that Gillan has on his desktop. Without seeing the concert, I cant picture what amazing visual effects there may have been during each number. Therefore the songs themselves seem a little too christian-rock for me. Anyhoo, I’m glad everyone had such a kickass time at the concert, and next time i’m sure to come.
