    Trans-Siberian Review

    Saw the TSO show last night.

    First and foremost, a standing ovation for the lighting engineer.

    The musicians were very good, not spectacular, but very good. However, I don't remember a show in which I have seen so much fluff.

    The sound mix was very guitar-heavy. It took the sound board guys 30 minutes to find the bass drum -- they finally got it. The 7-man string section was apparently all for show because we never got to hear them in the mix. Once the hot-female violinist got to do her big part, she was covered note for note with the guitars........ugh.

    I'm not sure I like the idea of Christmas rock. However, the classical rip-offs from Bach, Mozart, Liszt and Beethoven were handled much better. Late in the show they introduced some guy from off stage "that wrote all this stuff"..........HUH ?

    The show went for 2.5 hours; without all the fluff and cheese, it would have been half that long.

    I was screaming for an encore from the lighting engineer.

    Fluff is acceptable at Christmas time. Cheese is good year-round in small doses.

    Sounds like a fun show. I wished they would come up to my neck of the woods cuz it sounds like a show I could drag my wife to, along with my chirluns.

    Thanx for the review.
