Merry Christmas... TSO style!

I am so pumped! TSO was bigger and better than ever!!!!! 5th row was AMAZING!! 25 feet from the stage... and you can see EVERYTHING! 3 straight hours of TSO....

Lets start with what's new and improved....

• A new stage- they had 3 lifts in the front and a "floating" stage in the back. All equiped with FIRE.
  
• New huge video screens that moved along the back wall- and cool "pictures" flashing on them.


• New pyrotechnics- More fire, more smoke, liquid nitrogen, and fireworks!


• Better showmanship- The drunk guy at the bar didn't just come out and sing his song like usual. He came out swaying and drinking from a "vodka" bottle. Took a long time to start the song because he was interacting with the guitarist and stopped during the song to drink from his bottle. Very funny.
  

And they played songs from their new album. (But I missed the keyboard "key-off" that they usually do- always entertaining)

There were some new people- the girl singers are always changing. But this year the lead electric violinist was a female. And there were some new singers that have songs on the new album. But overall the main people were the same.

We didn't get snowed on because we were too close. Never thought I would say that.... but it was worth it!

The lead electric guitar gal went running around the stadium during one song. And she stood on a chair less than 10 feet from us! How cool!

At the end of the show they threw out guitar picks and handed out drum sticks. So close to getting a pick! Darn it!

And as the lights dimmed down the stadium filled with chanting: TSO... TSO... TSO...

Merry Christmas to all... and to all a good night! Yes it was!

And now for the videos.... They're not the best quality because they're from our cellphone and I managed to drain the whole battery on these 5 clips. There's a lot of background interference, so for those of you who don't know the songs, you might not be able to hear them... but give it a shot :)
