A bit of a Christmas tradition for us, we journeyed once again to the Xcel Energy Center for the phenomenon that is the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Courtesy my cell phone, here is Andrew Ross belting-out the evening's first vocal selection, An Angel Came Down. The fourth-row seats were a treat (although guitar hero Al Pitrelli kept winking at Starr). It was such a delight to have Dave and Mary with us this year ... the future is bright my friends! Three hours of non-stop Beethoven hits Broadway and signs-up Metallica. This show just keeps getting bigger, better, and more bombastic every year. Fire, fire everywhere! The evening's highlight was definitely Broadway veteran Bart Shatto's rendition of Old City Bar (he had us in tears). This second photo is a promotional shot that better shows-off some of the band's hardware. Absolutely amazing! The bootleg YouTube video of Mad Russian's Christmas found below was shot on another leg of the tour but it does give you a decent feel for the event.
"Bombtastic"...now that is a word I have never heard used! Might need to borrow it are there any publishing rights to the word or can I just use it at free will?
I'm a busy guy. That means I'm not a big-time blogger. Specifically, don't look for a bunch of narcissistic dribble to be posted here - day, after day. Nobody ever reads that stuff. Instead, you might enjoy some of the snappy photos and video files I've posted ... my mother says she likes them. If not, drop me a comment and complain about it until you feel better. Click here to send me an email. If you have troubling viewing the photos or videos, link directly to my Picasa photo album or my YouTube video channel. If you look real hard, you can also find me on MySpace, Facebook, Twitter or Yammer.
