Trans Siberian Orchestra
Well, that time of year is almost here again. No, not the holidays....the annual tour of the US by the Trans Siberian Orchestra.
If you have not experienced a show by them, I highly recommend that you do so. Last year, I saw them for the first time at an almost sold out show and it was fantastic. You couldn't ask for better quality sound and the light show (which rivals a Pink Floyd show) was fantastic. In 2004 the first year they played here, they drew about 3500 people in an arena that holds over 15,000. In 2005, those numbers went up a bit....the place had 15,000 people in attendance and was just short of a sellout. I guess word got around. Needless to say, I already have my tickets for this year's show since they are selling fast.
Some interesting facts about TSO: TSO only tours in the US between November 1st and December 31st of each year. You'll notice from their tour schedule that on many dates they are playing in two different cities. How do they do this? Actually, there are two different groups - TSO East which tours cities east of the Mississippi River and TSO West which tours west of the Mississippi River. Regardless of the group you see, the setlist is the same.
As I said, check them out. You won't be disappointed.
As always, comments are welcome.
