Dom - did you get your rug clean? Any pictures from Red Rock for us? Hyde - you just saw them in concert? Are they any good? (TSO is like Meatloaf on steroids??) [/ QUOTE ] Saw them Friday night in Portland ME. great show. The lead guitarist was a David Lee Roth wannabe, but closer to Joe Dirt in reality ( not his reality). Everything else was kickass. The drummer was the best since Ginger Baker, he had so many drums and cymbals it looked like he was in a chrome thunder dome. The woman on first keyboard had mad skillz. two of the vocalists were either the strongest voices evah or sound systems have reached a new level. Excellent effects and lights. Snow even. Seven local musicians did the strings, kind of a 'deer in the headlights' situation, but carried the sound. They were conducted/following/backing a guy with an electric violin...nice effect. For those who don't know, the first half of the show is a blend of rock and roll xmas songs and a kind of poetic xmas story intertwined. The second half is rock and roll orchestra. When they started the slow beginning of 'Proud Mary' I said it takes huge testicles to try to cover that song. Tina still rules. |

Dom - Glad that Sammy is alright. Next time take a camera please (I know you have one on your phone). Also, good job with the vinegar and baking soda. That's what my mom always used to use but I've heard it can leave a stain in the carpeting so I'm not sure about it.
Hyde - that's really odd. I never pictured the TSO to be like that. I guess I didn't realize they were a rock and roll band. I thought they were just an orchestra that performed alternative type music. (I love that one Christmas Canon song they play all the time in the malls.) David Lee Roth wannabe! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Haha! Too funny to even imagine. What a description. Sounds like it must have been a lot of fun. |
