Trans-Siberian Orchestra: The Lost Christmas Eve Reviews

Harold McDaniel from Kansas City, Missouri

CROWD EXPECTATION

As far as talent is concerned...10 on a scale of 10...NO DOUBT! These people are GREAT! However they may need to learn a little Humility, there were several request for the audience to respond to what they were doing on stage...well, the crowd at Sprint was very sophisticated...I mean they were not just going to give up free responses, the band has to earn it..and Frankly at times they were not earning it. Lots of "Cocky" posturing all night, it seemed as if the crowd wanted to show more appreciation but the moment was often lost in the mist of the band's "Self Love". The show was a little long, however if they had thought of having an intermission time, it would have been a lot easier on audience to set through. Other than that the music was GREAT! 4 star!

THIS YEAR'S PERFORMANCE WAS LACKING

I've seen this production seven times and have always left so pumped up, but this year, there was something lacking. There was not as much interaction with the audience as in the past and the spirit of the performance was lacking. First half is usually the Christmas portion which was awesome with a grand light show. The second half is usually their time to really rock, which they did not do this time. All and all, I was disappointed as I know what they are capable of which is a lot.

DREPESSING

This was my first time seeing the TSO. I was really hoping it would lift my spirits. I was wrong. The first half of the show, the Lost Christmas Eve, was incredibly depressing. The light show was impressive and the band members were very good but the theme was awful. Not at all what I was expecting. Will never go again.

TEMPOS REALLY DRAGGED

3rd time seeing a TSO Christmas concert. Never saw the Lost Christmas so was looking forward to it. By and large a fun evening but the tempos that they set for the songs w/lyrics were set so slow the evening got to be boring.

I JUST CAN'T GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD...AND NOT IN A GOOD WAY.

My husband and I, both in our early 40s and musicians ourselves, were really disappointed by the Philly show. We were expecting to see an ORCHESTRA...not the attention seeking guitarists, soloists and electronic violinist that had us grimacing through most of the show. We are pretty positive that most of the images used in the "castle"graphics were direct copies of concerts from the '80s, in fact, the whole show had this early 1980s, raspy untrained vocals, oddly dressed, televangelist narration, crazy flame throwing, wild attention seeking guitarist, Milli Vanilli vibe. I had a hard time not laughing through a lot of it and my husband nodded off during the painfully boring solos. It was WAY over the top in every respect including the flames, computerized light show and the robotic hair whipping backup singers. I mean, what? You want to see a GREAT rock orchestra go to see Peter Gabriel and the New Blood Orchestra. THAT is a truly awesome show not TSO. So painful to the senses!

DISAPPOINTED

This was our 4th trip to see TSO at the AA center and always looked forward to it. Tonight was a different experience. I'm not sure where the story line was coming from. A angel, a bar, multiple countries in the mix. Long winded solos. Dont get me wrong , I can appreciate their talent. The runaway girl story was told well and tugged at my heart stings. It was very much missed this year. Sorry TSO...not sure I will make it next year.

NOT WHAT I HOPED FOR

The beginning was slow and the storyline lagged. Lights and visuals were pretty but the vocals were overdone and not clear. The drummer was a standout artist but the violinist and guitarists were more about the dramatics and visuals than their sound quality. This show was not half as good as The Lost Christmas.
