My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed TSO. We had no expectations, so we were very surprised with the enormous scope of it all. Several moving stages, top of the line musicianship, fabulous light-and-laser show. My wife, who is not usually impressed with concerts, was spellbound. We're older folks and have seen quite a few concerts and shows. Frankly, even though I bought all the Mannheim Steamroller albums through the years, I was much happier when I left the TSO Christmas program. We'll be back next year.

Unbelievable- best show ever

Just came out of the TSO concert. Oh my god. Unbelievable energy, the music was energizing, a mix of soft fast slow hard. Simply perfect. 10/10. Best purchase of the year for us. Simply magical.

Over the top theatrics (in a good way).

Imagine if If Meat Loaf (circa 1977) and David Lee Roth had a love child and Pink Floyd let them use their stage. Great music, bombastic staging & effects and a terrific mix of Xmas tunes and well-known classical pieces.

An amazing Xmas outing

Did the people complaining below even listen to the band before seeing the show? TSO is known for being loud, over the top and theatrical. That's why many people pay to see their show. I laugh at those who thought the show was "satanic" because it used fire effects. And that "satanic" song that people are complaining about is Il Fortuna, one of the best known operatic works in the world. You can find it on their third album (reinforcing the idea that these people never even listened to the band. Was the pacing perfect? Not quite, but otherwise it was so much fun that my mouth hurt from smiling so much.

I think you have lost your mind if the trans Siberian orchestra experience turned you off.

Let's get something straight yes it is a rock show for Christmas. Put on by the members of Savatage a heavy metal band. So it may not tickle you fancy if it's not tame enough for you. Just don't go. Everyone one on here complaining starts with this was my 7th show or my 5th show. And all the sudden complain. Try something different but don't turn away fans. Because you weren't writing revues like this the first shows you went too. You were bragging to others to go!. Oh and by the way Christmas in seriavo is not a trans Siberian orchestra song. And and a few others played during there show aren't. There Savatage songs. Do your homework before going. And all the singers on that stage are excellent. I'm a musician and the guys and girls on that stage are some of the nicest and talented people you can ever meet. And they'll let you meet them after every show. So if it sucks tell them. stop hiding behind your computer. Putting down one of the biggest grossing concert in the world.

Best Ever!

Best Concert or Event I’ve ever seen! This was my first time to see TSO, I’ve wanted to over the past decade or so when I learned of them. I had a pretty good idea what TSO was, but never experienced in person. I’m a musician & FOH (front of house) engineer for local & regional events. I must say this was the best concert I’ve ever attended, hands down! The show was over 2.5 hours & went by quickly, this was their 25-year anniversary! There was not a bad seat in the house. Sightline & visibility was wide open due to their stage layout & design. World class musicians, running around and having fun for/with the crowd. It seemed sincere and real, they weren’t there just putting in time, they were fired up & energized putting on the best show possible. From a technical standpoint, the cleanest & most aesthetically pleasing stage I’ve ever seen. This means super clean, no mess, no cables, no crew members visible. Amazing visual in every way, the lighting was huge, and they set a mood with every change and lighting scene. There’s a lot to take in and see - many moving lights, giant led screens, moving trussing / platforms, fog / haze, low lying fog – dry ice, fire, incredible lasers, snow / bubbles, pyro spark burst, moving riser platforms over the front audience performers were on for various songs. Big Kudos to all of the crews, stage, techs, FOH, lighting and whoever programed everything! The audio was outstanding in every way. Speaker arrays were flown and out of the way, with small front fills for folk on the floor. Coverage was great, the quality of the audio was unmatched. Exceptionally clean & quiet & during soft passages, thick, meaty & crisp during the rocking songs. All instruments & vocals could be picked out of the mix, it was extraordinarily transparent. It was in your face, but not at all abrasive or too much. All of the vocalist, sting section, musicians were awesome, a huge bonus for me was seeing Jeff Scott Soto! I didn’t realize he was part of this tour! An overall assault on your senses, there’s a lot to take in! The massiveness of the production visually and audibly is amazing & extremely impressive! I recommend it to anyone that loves Christmas, great musicianship, fantastic over the top production! I will be back next year.
