@Charlie12241 I have always said that if all the classical composers back then had access to modern day amplification and electronic music equipment that they would be heavy metal and progressive rock musicians today without a doubt! You couldn't be more right! This is how music is suppose to sound and played to it's perfection! If you get a chance to go see these guys then, I strongly recommend that you do because you will be shaken to your core with excitement! I never miss them!
@coyote7272 Yes, mine too! I can tell you that I go way back with these guys to the old Savatage days and play a lot of their music. When I first heard this song I learned it with help from the the sparse tablature on the internet at that time and this is by far one of my best songs to play on the guitar. I met them all in person at the meet n' greet after the show in Orlando at Amway arena on Dec. 11th 2011 It's been a long time since 1989 when I used to watch them practice in Holiday. Fl.
Missing the greatest band ever SAVATAGE who orchestrated so many great albums for the last 25 years and who without....there would be no Trans Siberian Orchestra...
Let's here it for the "TAGE"!....R.I.P. Criss Oliva....
the rock spirits of Christmas Past, Present, and Future wont let you see his face because of the pure awesomeness done in 2:37, because, it's too awesome for mortal men to see... HE BECAME A DEMI ROCK GOD AND BROKE THE TIES BETWEEN THE TRUE MEANING OF LIFE AND DEATH ... I don't really know what I was saying before but the song's solos are amazing. Mainly the 2:37 and the ending I liked.
LOVE THIS SOOO MUCH, THIS IS THE BEST LIVE VIDEO I COULD FIND,OF THIS SONG WITH THE BEST SOUND QUALITY, SUCH AN AWESOME GUITAR SOUND, DIDN,T WANT IT SPOILT BY A CAMERA PHONE DISTORTION. I WISH TSO WOULD RELEASE SOME LIVE FOOTAGE ON DVD OR SOMETHING.
nice! However if you do that its gonna ruin any other concert they go to in the future.. cause no concert can ever compare to something as EPIC as TSO
@TheJared1991 ....IT was an AWESOME concert and we all Loved it! The stage show alone (not to mention the AWESOME music!!!) was the "BEST" I have seen! Now, we looking forward to seeing them again!!!
I heard TSO on a lead in, on a talk radio show a few years ago for the first time. I went nuts till I found out who it was. Then bought the 3 CD Christmas set and the DVD of "The Ghosts of Christmas Eve I LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!
just got my tix for the nov 30th show in Richmond. Didn't see em last year :( but did the 2 previous in DC. My favorite way to start off Christmas (all of December, to me it just has a great feeling)
I received TSO CD for Christmas last year after commenting the last few years how much I loved their sound. Must have been amazing in person. Thanks for sharing.
This is and always has been my favorite instrumental Christmas song of TSO's. I've seen them 7 times, each show being the West troupe; I'm a huge fan of Al and for me he'll always be the one who 'owns' the song, but gotta say that Joel did a *fabulous* job here! I can tell he's a great addition to the East. Thanks for posting this! =D
I was there 4 rows from the stage. Great video!! Joel Hoekstra did a great job filling in for Alex Skolnick this year. He brought a lot of energy to the performance and I hope he continues to tour with TSO for a long time to come!!
this is one of the best amateur recordings of TSO Ive seen. Thank you for posting.
