Today, Jeff and I went down to DC to see, that else, but the Trans-Siberian Orchestra once again. This time, rather than being in the nosebleed seats as we were a few weeks ago, we were four rows from the very front, just a bit to the left. While the November show was spectacular in it's own right, being this close to this type of show made it better.
By an order of magnitude.
And I forgot to smuggle in my goddam camera. X-(
Ah, well. Suffice it to say, you could see the energy, the fact that they enjoy what they all do. There was a minor snafu as Chris Caffrey's guitar was not getting through for the first couple songs, and he was a bit frustrated to say the least (we could hear him apologize to us and see him make faces), but after it was all ironed out, he came back with a vengeance. During the spectacular encore of "Christmas Eve Sarajevo", he presented his guitar (which was signed by the band) to a lucky girl in the audience not for from where we were sitting. After this evening's show, that's it for the season for 'em. Will I go again next year? Most likely. As should you.
