The best concert I’ve EVER been to. It’s like being at an 70s/80s rock concert but with Christmas songs! The drums and electric guitars were so thrilling. Old City Bar sounded soooo damn good!!! Like 1000x better than the song they recorded! It was magical! It was full of soul! My ONLY negative opinion is when the Christmas songs ended and they started some demonic looking performance, with flames on all of the screens, flames shooting out of cannons, a woman doing weird sexual movements in the flames in a nightgown on the video… It was so random and I didn’t understand what that had to do with Christmas stories. If they would have said, “we’re now gonna play some of our other popular songs aside from the Christmas ones” that would have been better. “Ohh okay. Got it.” But with children there for a Christmas performance, it was like “okay what is this… a little sexual and weird.” The rest was an amazing Christmas story! Would see again! The whole place was rocking!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed TSO. We had no expectations, so we were very surprised with the enormous scope of it all. Several moving stages, top of the line musicianship, fabulous light-and-laser show. My wife, who is not usually impressed with concerts, was spellbound. We're older folks and have seen quite a few concerts and shows. Frankly, even though I bought all the Mannheim Steamroller albums through the years, I was much happier when I left the TSO Christmas program. We'll be back next year.

Just came out of the TSO concert. Oh my god. Unbelievable energy, the music was energizing, a mix of soft fast slow hard. Simply perfect. 10/10. Best purchase of the year for us. Simply magical.

Imagine if If Meat Loaf (circa 1977) and David Lee Roth had a love child and Pink Floyd let them use their stage. Great music, bombastic staging & effects and a terrific mix of Xmas tunes and well-known classical pieces.

Did the people complaining below even listen to the band before seeing the show? TSO is known for being loud, over the top and theatrical. That's why many people pay to see their show. I laugh at those who thought the show was "satanic" because it used fire effects. And that "satanic" song that people are complaining about is Il Fortuna, one of the best known operatic works in the world. You can find it on their third album (reinforcing the idea that these people never even listened to the band. Was the pacing perfect? Not quite, but otherwise it was so much fun that my mouth hurt from smiling so much.

Let's get something straight yes it is a rock show for Christmas. Put on by the members of Savatage a heavy metal band. So it may not tickle you fancy if it's not tame enough for you. Just don't go. Everyone one on here complaining starts with this was my 7th show or my 5th show. And all the sudden complain. Try something different but don't turn away fans. Because you weren't writing revues like this the first shows you went too. You were bragging to others to go!. Oh and by the way Christmas in seriavo is not a trans Siberian orchestra song. And and a few others played during there show aren't. There Savatage songs. Do your homework before going. And all the singers on that stage are excellent. I'm a musician and the guys and girls on that stage are some of the nicest and talented people you can ever meet. And they'll let you meet them after every show. So if it sucks tell them. stop hiding behind your computer. Putting down one of the biggest grossing concert in the world.
