Pretty amazing! I wonder though what it would be like to live across the street from that guy!

Now, if he could get those effects from tube heaters that would be something.

I really like the music, I wonder if it was self composed or if its a CD by an artist I dont know.

Oh My, my gal just did a search and found it, Its Trans-Siberian Orchesrta's new release, Lost Christmas Eve CD-Track title is Wizard in Winter.
Go figure.


He must of pushed some of those valves pretty hard, Alot of them were emiting an unusual purplish blue glow later in the video ahahah gassed I Bet!

Stupendous!!

.... and I guess living across the road is where you should be to enjoy this! Also thanks for tracing the music. Give the lady a kiss from me.

("Pushing those valves pretty hard.." Nonsense, it was a transistor amp, of course.)

Oops.

I Just followed up checking out the Trans Siberian Orchestra's website, And found the have several audio pieces as well as some fairly good videos based on some true classics.

Our college kids have known about these performers for a couple years. As soon as we showed them the video, They were like " oh yeah, we had tried to get tickets once a couple years ago"
It appears the have an amazing stage presentation/show.

Here is the link to their Videos, The Site has other audio clips and tour and cd info

Thanks for the info, I had heard of them before, from a 22 year old. One of my daughters old high school friends (who still lives here) has recommended music before. He told me that TSO was going to be here at the Seminole Hard Rock Live, but it was right after the hurricane, and I forgot about it. There was a TV commercial for a Florida grocery store chain that used their music. I thought it was cool, so I asked him what it was. Christmas Eve in Sarajevo.

He told me that some of the same people were involved in a project called Savatage. Same type of music. Different themes.

He also recommended Apocalyptica. These guys have a web site. Heavy metal (a lot of Metallica) played entirely on Cellos. I bought all of their CD's. You need a good amp with power. I use the 300Beast.

After you posted the link, I connected the 300Beast to the computer. The downloads sound kind of harsh, I will have to buy some CD's. I won't do it tomorrow though, the stores will be crazy.
