Trans-Siberian Orchestra's 2006 winter tour was its most successful to date, with 80 shows performed in front of more than 1 million fans, according to a press release.
The band, established in 1996 by rock producer/composer/lyricist Paul O'Neill, has released four CDs--three Fort Lauderdale Trans Siberian Orchestra tickets BankAtlantic Center holiday sets and and 2000's "Beethoven's Last Night"--plus the 2001 DVD "The Ghosts of Christmas Eve." TSO's Fort Lauderdale Trans Siberian Orchestra tickets BankAtlantic Center most recent studio album, "The Lost Christmas Eve," surfaced in 2004 and was followed later that year by the "The Christmas Trilogy" box set.
Trans-Siberia Orchestra said in a website posting that it is half finished with its next offering, which will Fort Lauderdale Trans Siberian Orchestra tickets BankAtlantic Center be titled "Nightcastle."
Trans-Siberian Orchestra's holiday production has become as much a part of yuletide tradition as "A Christmas Carol" and Rudolph's shining red nose, and yet, while this year's 8th annual live translation of the band's Christmas trilogy of albums proved every bit as heartwarming and fulfilling as fans have come to expect, the Fort Lauderdale Trans Siberian Orchestra tickets BankAtlantic Center sold-out Continental Airlines Arena performance was highlighted by a jolly ol' guest that didn't enter the venue through a chimney.
Christmas 'tis the reason for the season, and T.S.O. made that spectacularly clear with their 80-minute Fort Lauderdale Trans Siberian Orchestra tickets BankAtlantic Center opening tale of an angel sent to Earth by God to find that which best exemplifies the spirit of the day. Presented by the band, a seven-piece local string section led by violinist Mark Wood, and five different vocalists, the 13-track tale charted the angel's voyage around the world, touching down for the heavy-metal Fort Lauderdale Trans Siberian Orchestra tickets BankAtlantic Center thunder of the song that spawned Trans-Siberian Orchestra, "Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12/24)," and long enough elsewhere to allow the vocalists to splash their color throughout.
Peter Shaw delivered "An Angel Came Down" with a commanding elegance that set the tone for the proceedings, Fort Lauderdale Trans Siberian Orchestra tickets BankAtlantic Center opening the door for the more soulful, R&B and gospel-flavored tones of Jay Pierce on "The Prince of Peace" and "Good King Joy," Steve Lewis' blues-hued rock stylings on "Ornament" and "This Christmas Day," and Jennifer Cella's heartwarming and memorable "Promises to Keep."
Paced by instrumentals, the show offered a similar marquee for the band, which transformed its hard-rock and Fort Lauderdale Trans Siberian Orchestra tickets BankAtlantic Center heavy-metal roots into a genre-twisting blend of holiday standards, classical arrangements, and a propulsive Fort Lauderdale Trans Siberian Orchestra tickets BankAtlantic Center delivery so absorbing, it was easy to forget that guitarists Chris Caffery and Alex Skolnick and drummer Jeff Plate are alumni of the prog-metal band Savatage (who originally recorded "Christmas Eve" on their "Dead Winter Dead" album in 1995). Skolnick may not have demonstrated the metal that he exhibited as lead guitarist of the bruising band Testament 15 years ago, but he lit up the crowd with his searing leads on "O Holy Night" and his acoustic accompaniment to vocalist Steve Broderick on "Old City Bar."
The second half of the two-and-a-half hour performance was split between material from the outfit's first Fort Lauderdale Trans Siberian Orchestra tickets BankAtlantic Center non-Christmas release, "Beethoven's Last Night," and holiday selections that were independent of the opening story. Lewis opened the second half with the rousing rocker "Christmas Nights in Blue," Cella and Danielle Fort Lauderdale Trans Siberian Orchestra tickets BankAtlantic Center Landherr delivered "An Angel's Share" from a stage at the rear of the venue, and Tany Ling send shivers through spines with the operatic exercises that dominated "Queen of the Winter Night."
Snow fell on the arena floor throughout "First Snow," and a brilliant array of blinding lights, moving Fort Lauderdale Trans Siberian Orchestra tickets BankAtlantic Center trusses, roving lasers, flaming pyres and sparking fireworks offered high-tech exclamation points throughout the night's arena-rock spectacle. But the biggest exclamation point came from Lake, whose "Karn Evil" proved Fort Lauderdale Trans Siberian Orchestra tickets BankAtlantic Center nothing short of spectacular, his vocals crisp, and Trans-Siberian Orchestra--led by Bob Kinkel on keyboards--offering more than he could have hoped for in a backing band.
The night may have begun with the New Jersey "Metal Lands" (as they were dubbed onstage by T.S.O. mastermind Paul O'Neill) filled with fans who came to celebrate Christmas, but it ended with an exodus of enthusiasts who Fort Lauderdale Trans Siberian Orchestra tickets BankAtlantic Center knew they'd just witnessed something historic.
Expect a lot more history in Trans-Siberian Orchestra's future.
