I was JUST at a Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert, like from 8:00 to 11:30 (I just got home) And it kicked much butt. My mom was with me, which was kinda unusual, but it doesn't matter, because even though she didn't like the guitars even she had a good time. The lightshow was awsome, the covers were awsome (They even did the start to Black Dog) and I got the entire TSO discography (and DVD) also, the entire groups' signature on my stuff and a ton of guitar and bass picks.

They played a ton of my favorites, including Requem (The Fifth) in which the fire was so hot my ears turned red. If my head doesn't hurt because of the headbangin then it must be because of the light show, which was awsome. Also, lots and lots of fire and sparks. The random guitar duel in the middle was awsome, and the fiddle guitar duel was awsome too.

The singers, each and every one, had soul and a lot of strength, sadly one of the singers voice cracked during one of the songs, I can't remember which, but right after that he's like, "I don't care" and then belts that sucker out.

This is a concert I will alwase remember, since it's one of the first real "metal" concers I'll say I saw.

I saw this a couple of days ago as well !

A friend of mine won tickets to the show, so I got in free.
To be honest, I knew who they were, but I hadn't really heard the music,
let alone seen one of their concerts..

I was really hopin' I was gonna get to see Skolnick play, and he was
there! Last time I saw him play was "Practice What You Preach" tour
with Testament! If I would have been close enough to his side of
the stage, I would have yelled "TRIAL BY FIRE!!" Laughing

Chris was shredding on the other guitar, so I got lucky!

The light show was pretty over the top and the music was
pretty killer so I had a good time..
