    Thread: Trans Siberian Orchestra tour

    I apologize in advance if this insults anyone, but I find this kind of stuff cringe inducing.

    Overdone and overdramatic 'rock' and 'metal' posing by the musicians, musician's hair being 'dramatically' blown back by fans , dumbed down rock versions of classical pieces, legitimate orchestral musicians running around the stage playing a violin, and oh yeah, they are wearing a tux with the sleeves cut off, so you can tell they are 'hardcore rockers'. If I watched a few of their vids on YT, I am sure I could find paragraphs of other equally cringey (to me) things I could list.

    Sure, there is no question about the musical talent present, but everything about the performance, visually and musically, is (to me) majorly kitschy, and that's an understatement.

    I guess it allows non-rock fans to 'rock out' in a safe, unchallenging way. And it allows rockers to feel a bit cultured because they are hearing classical music, but it still 'rocks'.

    I wish I could understand the appeal of so many prog fans here, though.

    [WikiPedia] Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO) is an American rock band founded in 1996 by producer, composer, and lyricist Paul O'Neill, who brought together Jon Oliva and Al Pitrelli (both members of Savatage) and keyboardist and co-producer Robert Kinkel to form the core of the creative team. The band gained in popularity when they began touring in 1999 after completing their second album, The Christmas Attic, the year previous. In 2007, The Washington Post referred to them as "an arena-rock juggernaut" and described their music as "Pink Floyd meets Yes and the Who at Radio City Music Hall". TSO has sold more than ten million concert tickets and over ten million albums. The band has released a series of rock operas: Christmas Eve and Other Stories, The Christmas Attic, Beethoven's Last Night, The Lost Christmas Eve, their two-disc Night Castle and Letters From the Labyrinth. Trans-Siberian Orchestra is also known for their extensive charity work and elaborate concerts, which include a string section, a light show, lasers, moving trusses, video screens, and effects synchronized to music. Both Billboard Magazine and Pollstar have ranked them as one of the top twenty-five ticket-selling bands in the first decade of the new millennium. Their path to success was unusual in that, according to O'Neill, TSO is the first major rock band to go straight to theaters and arenas, having never played at a club, never having been an opening act and never having had an opening act.

    I am surprised I am having trouble finding this online, so I guess I will ask here...

    Does anyone know where to find a list of early TSO concert dates and venues, prior to 2002?

    The earliest I can find on Youtube is 1999 in PA and a full Beacon Theater show in 2001.  I could swear I saw them earlier than 2001 a couple of times at the Beacon.
