Tonight I finally took Melissa to see the Holiday Rock Opera spectacular that is Trans-Siberian Orchestra! I have seen them in the past, but Melissa has never had the opportunity, so I finally fixed that and got us some tickets. I don’t tend to go to many music concerts, as I find the ability to hear the lyrics clearly and them being well-balanced with the music is typically lacking. That factor usually makes live concerts un-enjoyable for me as I don’t get wrapped up in the hype of everyone around me either. That’s not the case with TSO though, everything seems to balance out nicely and the energy they put into the performance is incredible. I am not a big fan of most holiday music as well, but once again TSO is the exception for me. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that this is not typical holiday music, but rather rock music for the holidays. Melissa really enjoyed the show and I think she has a better appreciation for why I like this group so much and insist on listening to them every year. Hopefully we can go when they come to town next year as well, as I really want to bring Kylie to the next show.
