re: Trans-Siberian Orchestra check in

I was shocked by the amount of empty seats. Barely had 6k based on their “$1 per ticket” donation to Children’s Hospital.

The show was incredible. Some of parts during the Christmas story seemed out of place but, musically, that group killed it.

Show was very good. They need new material as the playlist was pretty much same as when they last came two years ago. Their songwriter died over ten years ago and it's starting to show.

Was surprised at the number of empty seats as well. The lower bowl, the two sections by the stage on the sides, were more than half empty. Check the ticket prices. They were wanting $160 or more for them in that area. More than I paid for those seats in 2019.

A lot of older people left early too, as if it were past their bed times or something. Crowd isnt' as young as it used to be just a few years ago.

Had a good time, loved the music. Would see them again. But they need to get some fresh stuff.

Beating

I was there with the kids. They got to give a fist bump to the blonde guitarist guy that always raises his fist to get the crowd going. I've taken them for the last few years and they enjoy it.

Felt bad for all the kids who were forced to leave because their parents didn't want to stick around.

for anyone who wants to hear Christmas music performed by some of the best musicians on the planet, bela fleck and the flecktones will be at the joy theater on Saturday doing their “jingle all the way” show. It’s amazing

Oh shite. I wish I wasn't busy because that would be awesome.

I was there last night and thoroughly enjoyed. I didn't know what to expect and wished it was more Christmas music, but I love 80s rock'n'roll. Guitar player only knows 1 chord but it was fun.

Savatage!
