TSO is a tradition at my house, we've seen every tour so far. We get do the backstage thing, which my kids have discovered is a great way to impress dates!
For those Buffalo folks who have not bought tickets--do it soon! The 12/23 date will be great to really get in the spirit. John

Ah no fair, I want backstage tickets too. How do I obtain some for next year, do you know? I'm sure you probably do. It's great to have friends in "high" places.

BUMPING AN OLD THREAD
Quote:
Playfair, Doug Scheck and families  John- I was tempted to stay after the show to say "hi" to your friend. I probably should have- it took us an hour to get out of the parking garage anyways. BTW- my kids and I thought the show ROCKED!!!!!!!! (Wife thought it was a little too loud!) Man those flame things throw off some serious heat!

Jim- Alex Skolnick was playing Gibson's last night. He had a Les Paul and a Gibson doubleneck.
The other dude (Chris?) was playing a Dean V and what looked like a Les Paul. I couldn't see their amps. We were seated halway back in the war memorial. It was packed. You gotta go next year! turn up your PC speakers and explore the TSO website and it's links: http://www.trans-siberian.com/about/theband.shtml FWIW Jeff Plate (drummer) is from upstate NY and so is TSO's musical director (DrTango's buddy) Bob Kinkel. I would have to rate the light show and pyrotechnics as the best I've ever seen (and I've seen a LOT of concerts). The sound was top notch, too.

We were there too last night. Went with friends. We sat right in the middle of the 1st set of seats in the 114 section. I have a couple great pictures. I thought they totally rocked. Sorry I didn't see anyone. Maybe next time.

Yup--some of the members were in the metal band Savatage; The drummer is from Horseheads, and the musical director/main keyboard guy (Bob Kinkel) is from Williamsville. The rest are from NYC and beyond.
Great show in Buffalo too, sold out HSBC for two shows. Got some sweet front/center seats! My wife talked Bob into coming out into the arena before the show to say hi to some of her friends from work, a whole bunch of middle aged groupies. She reminds me every year that she dated Bob for awhile in high school. We got to see some of the pyro setups backstage, really impressive. They've got 12 semi trucks full of stuff for their stage setup. Just got an Email from Bob----they played a show in NJ and ROGER DALTRY came out for several songs; Pinball wizard, Behind Blue Eyes etc. Google YouTube for some clips. They had to find a wired mike for Daltry so he could do his "windmill microphone" thing. Bob has a hard time believing he's playing with some of the guys he idolized "back in the day". Last year they played with Greg Lake from Emerson, Lake and Palmer and some of the members of Yes. John

You guys are forgetting one of the best musicians in TSO. Mark Wood. He plays the electric Violin/Viola that looks like a guitar resting on his shoulder. He has his own band and travels across the country. He gave a masters class (I play Viola) at Hochstein earlier this year. He's absolutely incredible. Rock/Pop/Jazz/Classical he seems to be able to do it all. He has a bunch of great videos on YouTube.
Happy New Year! |

Agree, Mark Wood is awesome. I love watching the orchestra, which is hired locally (Buffalo Philharmonic here), rock out....there are bits and pieces of classical music woven throughout the music
