Tonight was the TSO Concert at the Ford Center. Linda and I attended.
Trans-Siberian Orchestra Information:
Trans-Siberian Orchestra is a rock orchestra founded by Paul O'Neill, Robert Kinkel, and Jon Oliva in 1996. The band's musical style is often described in different terms, it incorporates progressive rock, symphonic metal, power metal and heavy metal, and influenced by the classical music. Trans-Siberian Orchestra is best known for its remakes of classical Christmas songs.
The above is a quick guide to who and what this band is. Bear in mind that some of the band members played with such groups as Queen, Metalica and Def Leppard. Real hard rockers.
It was awesome. The concert is basically a hard Rock Christmas concert. Our seats were on the floor and we experienced several firsts.
1) We got snowed on, inside during the concert. In fact, for a short period of time, we were the only ones being snowed on. OK, I know the snow was soap bubbles, but the song said Snow and it snowed.
2)We were so close to the "fire" on the floor, behind us that is was hot where we were sitting.
3)This is the first time that I have been at a concert and the fire alarm for the facility went off and the concert ended early. The finale was full of fireworks, pyrotechnics and fire. All of it overwhelmed the Ford Center and set off the fire alarms. The PA kept saying "please exit the building in an orderly fashion, do not use the elevators." I thought it was part of the show, but the usher told us that it was a real false alarm. There was no danger, but it was a real first.
Ate dinner at Deep Fork afterwards. Wonderful evening.
