Trans-Siberian Orchestra: Rockin’ The Holidays with Al Pitrelli

[@JustherefortheLOLZ]

Great story…. I’ve seen TSO for the past few years but didn’t know the backstory. Thank you. Happy Holidays and a joyous New Year.

I saw them 2 years ago. ive been a Savatage fan for years. IF you are unfamiliar with Savatage, please do check out the songs when the crowds are Gone & Gutter Ballet. it was the 1990 album that first had the Violins & Orchestra themed Rock Music. The album Handful of Rain with a different singer Zackery stevens 1994 is also an Amazing one, that one you can hear the TSO themed style they were adapting / getting into

​@MetalHeart8787 Thank you, doing it as we "speak"

[@adrianwagner336]

a great interview touching on alot of subjects that, given more time, would have taken us all on the wild ride that is TSO thank you and have a great holiday! i hope you liked the show 😃

[@MetalHeart8787]

Yeah it was Good, i was thinking to myself i Hope she mentions Savatage, i understand that she wasn't into or knew of them. i like TSO Just wish Jhon Oliva had worked with them more.

[@behindthesongpodcast]

It was an awesome show!

@@MetalHeart8787 im not sure how much more Jon could have worked with TSO in the past? other than performing with them each year he was involved up to his neck and even then he was VERY involved with planning each tour and rehearsing them t achieve the wanted level - he wasnt often in front of things but he was very involved behind the scenes 😃
