If there’s one thing I and every other person knows about Baltimore during the holiday season, it is this: The Trans-Siberian Orchestra – the orchestral-metal-holiday-christmas-music-supergroup – will come to town (sadly they’ve already been here, maybe next year!!), 98 Rock will give away a bajillion tickets to the show, and THE HOLIDAYS WILL ROCK. HARD. Don’t believe me? Just try watching this one minute promo for their current tour without a large amount of eye/brain bleeding:
HOLY SHIT!!!! NUTCRACKER SUITE WITH EXPLOSIONS!!! LAZERS!!!!
Truth be told, the TSO is pretty much the perfect thing for Baltimore during the holidays as a large portion of our population still loves Dokken, laser light shows and want to appear classy all at the same time. It’s perfect! And damn profitable too; the TSO has been one of the top 20 grossing concert tours for a long time – and every one of their albums has gone platinum with the exception of their ONLY non-Christmas album. |
So Kudos to you, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, for melting the holiday faces of the citizens of Baltimore since 1996. May you return for many many more face melting incidents!
Best stage lighting in the business, bar none. Even if you don’t like holiday tunes.
i am totally going next year.
aaaah my brain is bleeding
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
