Trans-Siberian Orchestra

My best friend, Lynnette, and her husband, Mark, were home for Thanksgiving. (They're the ones I visited in Virginia Beach earlier this year.)

They are huge fans of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. I was first introduced to their music a few years back when Mark, Lynnette, and I went to Frankenmuth, Michigan, after Thanksgiving one year. They played it in the car on the way up and back...and I enjoyed it. So, when they asked if I wanted to hang out yesterday and go with them to the concert, I said sure!

The concert was down at Conseco Fieldhouse. Let the record show this is my second trip there this year!

Lynnette and me. We were FREEZING.

The guys started out on these platforms held up by cables. I would have passed out.



We sat in the snow zone and got snowed on!


Very cool light show...



I prefer this sort of snow to real snow...


Loved it!!





Pyrotechnics. Did I even spell that right?? Sure was glad I'd straightened my hair. No time to be a fire hazard yesterday!!


The vocalists were pretty amazing. I can't sing all that well standing still. Forget jumping around and singing!




I liked this lil shot that my camera did for me...


The guy in front of me (to the left) blocked my view most of the day. :(



The drummer - he was really good!!


My favorite picture of the night.



Liked this one too!!



Grand finale! That violin player was amazing.



TSO, baby!



Best friends!!!




Great concert...great to spend the day with my friends! Thanks, guys!

TSO is good, gives a great show. I like Mannheim Steamroller the best until I heard TSO. Love the video they did with Ozzie Davis before he died, too.

They are just that good! In two places at once! (Or there are two groups, my BFF says.)

I've never seen Mannheim Steamroller but I've heard their music and I like it too!!
