At Christmas, TSO Rocks!

With the word 'orchestra' in their name, I wasn't jumping in line to become a TSO fan, but count me in among the growing legion ...

The Trans-Siberian Orchestra Christmas Concert is foot-stomping, soul-stirring experience you do not want to miss.

A sort of Christmas version of a rock opera, the first half of the concert is bascially a story set to music.

Each year, the show is phenomenally narrated with songs synched to an equally impressive laser and light show. With almost every beat, there is a different visual that would drive the effect deeper.

And just when you think it couldn't get better, the second half of the show featured song after song including spotlight performances on a driving drum solo and dueling keyboards.

You can feel the bass down to your toes as backup singers and choreographed dancers add to the excitment. The electric guitars and violins, keyboards, drums, singing -- not to mention the falling snow, the dry ice effects, and the pyrotechnics -- make this concert an experience that you will not want to miss!

There is so much that goes on during this holiday concert that it's difficult to describe the full effect. Go see it for yourself and experience the contagious energy with each and every song.

Merry Christmas... and have fun!
