OMG! Words cannot really do justice to how amazing TSO (Trans Siberian Orchestra) really is in concert! The energy they put into their show is phenomenal and light show is simply spectacular!!  Lazers and pyro techniques and so much more give a visual feast while you try to keep up with the guitarists and violinists who run around the stage and even out to a stage in the center of the audience, playing like mad!!  

One of the things I love most about TSO is that although many of the individual performers are stellar vocalists and musicians, there is no grand standing and you never get the feeling that anyone in particular is the star of the show.  They work wonderfully together as a very tight and cohesive group.  This was my second year in a row seeing them and I could not imagine that they could be any better than they were last year but I think they were.  I also like that they never seem to lose sight of their rock and roll roots. Last year at the end of the show they brought out Roger Daltry of “The Who” and we just about frigging died.  This year, they brought out Steven Tyler of Aerosmith who is probably my favorite all time classic rocker! I was stunned and screaming til I was nearly hoarse!! 

Of course the drive home from Long Island to Poughkeepsie afterwards was a bit of a drag since we were so tired but it was so worth it!!  It was a wonderful night out with dear friends and family members and I hope that we can continue to go each year as a family tradition.

Ok that’s enough for tonight .. be back soon.
