Christmas Eve/Sarajevo by EMP

[Booger414]

I found this video again looking though your channel. Thanks for remembering that this is indeed a Savatage song and that the TSO version is essentially them covering their own work. For me while I know they have been commercial successful with the Christmas albums this song is much more meaningful when heard as part of the original opera Dead Winter Dead. Nice job with the opening narration however.

[Indigolunch]

Stupid Serbians, i'm Croatian myself.

[protv18]

happy new yeard mother fuckers i love you guys

[RockyWhyNot]

Powerful!

~Tammi~

[PialatBernard]

no word !

[ironscull]

one word..... MASTERPIECE!!

[Rangerlou]

I fell in love with this song when TSO debuted on MTV. It was just a powerful, captivating orchestration, one of those songs you not only hear, but feel, deep inside you.

Now, with the addition of the opening narrative, it truly reaches even deeper. Your version will forever be at the top of my Christmas Playlist. Kudos to you Gentlemen, God speed and God Bless!

[AlexPowerMetalhead]

Fucking war :(

[kenns9]

MEIN GOTT!

[poolph01]

Still lovin' it....

[hamnhock]

Jaw dropping as i watch the video!!!!

awesome guys,,just awesome...

Ham

[SilverHamer]

Thanks Ham. Yea, this is such a neat arrangement it is hard not to love it. Everyone poured their souls into their parts, but the guy who worked the hardest was Graham as he is responsible for this incredible audio mix, as well as some of the guitar tracks and the narration. This was a really BIG project to undertake at a very busy time of the year. Thanks again, and speaking on behalf of all of us, we are very thrilled that you enjoyed it. LC

[crysiseternity]

This is flawlessly done.

[Vellont]

Frogive me for sounding simple, but just what are those your hitting at 2:57 to give the sound of the bells?

[SilverHamer]

Those are tubular bells

[cally149]

That is amazing!

You guys rock.

Beautiful song and story too. I love TSO.

[nikomaster12]

Indeed, humanity is....Sad!

[ajidana]

Thank you from all of us...love from Sarajevo!

[60slove]

I saw Trans Siberian Orchestra Live this last Christmas and they performed this song. Simply amazing, you have done them proud. Thank you very much.

[tonygrimsley]

[jro3030]

[Johny08]

[RobbyKrieger92]

[mavis41558]

To Larry and all your friends!

Well, we just drove from snowy CT to snowy Buffalo on Christmas Eve (duh) and this is the first thing I found when I fired up Grandpa's computer - Grandpa has better Spee Kers than I do so I really got a great listen to your Holiday Spectacular!

I will show it to all who will visit all weekend.

I am really touched by the cooperation this took and the powerful holiday human sentiment as well as top notch music.

What a great work, you should all be proud.

[SilverHamer]

Hi Mavis! Thank you for such a cool comment. This WAS a very special project for us, and I believe that it is our best work to date. There is a truckload of inspiration in this song when you know the story which inspired it. Thanks for joining up on the EMP page as well. YOU RAWK!!!

[LouddrummerO]

Truly amazing! This is your best work to date! Great players, keep collaborating with these guys:) Would be nice if you copy and pasted there channel link in description, so all your viewers can visit and give them credit with one click.  Happy holidays Larry:)

[SilverHamer]

Thanks, man. We just started a new youtube page dedicated to EMP. /EMPProject Please stop by when you get the chance.

[SilverHamer]

The other guy's URLs now appear in my description. Thanks for the prodding. I don't know the html code to make hyperlinks in here, but their URL strings can be copy/pasted into your browser address window. :D LC

[LouddrummerO]

When you copy and paste there URL address into description it aumatically turns into a one click blue hyperlink. I dont know why it did not come up that way, thats how it was before, maybe youtube changed that. There always changing things around here.

Love the widescreen 16:9 You know you can upload in High definition Know! And you dont need a HD camera. If you want further details PM me and i will send you links how to do with ease.

[SilverHamer]

Thanks for the offer. At this point the format most of us use wouldn't match the widescreen format. Perhaps after we've moved into the 21st century with our video cams we will do that...HAHA. As it is now, I am personally wide enough without the aid of a video format stretching me horizontally...HAHAHAHA. I will get back with you later regarding this matter. ;) Thanks.  LC

[SilverHamer]
