when your backstage meeting the band they strongly dislike people who are back there with cameras and videocameras to record their every move. autographs are not as much looked down on but they still do not appreciate them. theyre normal human beings and like to be treated like one when they are meeting and conversing with fans and friends. autographs and pictures are for the signing line that they attend to after the meet and greet. next time, leave the camera off ;)
Wow...I was just browsing TSO videos on here....did not expect to find this...I'm the girl with the group with Jeff, lol. Thanks for posting...that whole backstage experience was a blur to me...it's cool to see it from an outside view.
@gimatt24 As I just told "bilbaron63", sorry it's taken so long to reply. : / To answer your question: No, Chris & Alex weren't their since they tour with TSO East. On this 2nd trip backstage, the mgr controlled it so much since the band was eating dinner, so he sent in who we wanted to meet the most, which was Al Pitrelli. He also sent in Jeff Scott Soto & Scout....all were very nice guys. : )
@billbarton63 I know you wrote this 4 mths ago, so I'm sorry it took a while to reply.
Yep, that show is always amazing. Jeff is definitely a great singer & he's a VERY tall guy in person! It's funny to see him stand next to Al Pitrelli, who's a VERY small, short guy. (no offense to either one) They're all very nice, too! : )
HA!!! In colorado springs everyone is allowed to meet that band. and I got my guitar signed by all the members and paul oneil when he showed up 2 years ago. and I have a signed shirt and ticket.
I'm glad to hear you got to meet everyone. It sounds like you went to the meet/greet?? '07, Chris Caffrey sent Michael an electric guitar & we went backstage while they were eating dinner, so we hung with them while they ate. Last year, we met Pitrelli & others privately after the show & chatted, while they signed everything. This year, we'll just go to the pm show & stay for the m/g. It's great how gracious they are to all their fans. Enjoy the show!
It's a long story, but I made a couple friends on MySpace who are friends with some TSO members. Now, TSO Mgmt has gotten very strict with handing out passes, so even they'll have a hard time getting them! : ( We're just going to the meet/greet this year to say "Hi". They seem to remember us, so it's nice to visit with them each year. Are you going to the show? I can't wait to hear the new NightCastle material : ) If you go..enjoy the show!
actually I went to the show in Peoria IL in early November and it was incredible as always....but that is so cool how you are fortunate enough to get the oppurtunity to do meet the band.....Ugh that would be amazing to do
Sorry I took so long to reply. That's great! They're always so nice & gracious to their fans. We plan to go to the meet/greet after the show this time. I hear the line is pretty long. Did you go to the m/g' after the show? I hear it's a long line, but I'm sure it's worth it. Our show's on Dec.26th,, so I'm getting excited. : )
Sorry about that! I have a new video camera & had a hard time figuring out how to convert the vid to a YouTube playable format. I finally edited using Windows Movie Maker & got a wmv version, which I uploaded, but won't play well in HD. When I get more time, I'll go back & try to change the aspect ratio & see if that helps. I just don't want to screw up what I finally posted. :)
Thanks R2! Sorry for the poor quality. I had a hard time just converting it to a format that would play on YouTube. :( Now we have closure (since we met Al Pitrelli) & maybe we can just try the meet/greet line next year!
Thanks Rob....I just finished adding little notes within the video, which explains some of it. I wish I had more to show! I love YOUR videos next to the stage while working, cuz they show a whole different persepective!
Looks like you just about have the whole collection lol. Glad they autographed everything for you and Michael. Kudos for getting this up on youtube =D YOU DID IT!!!

Very nice, looks like you guys had fun. I have the pleasure of seeing/working many concerts throughout the year, but TSO is by far my favorite.
