The Secrets Behind the Scenes of a Trans--Siberian Orchestra Show with Music Director Al Pitrelli

Did you know there are some pretty cool "secrets" behind the scenes of every ‪@transsiberianorchestra‬ Show?
Music Director, Guitarist, and Original TSO Member Al Pitrelli takes time to talk with me about it before the Winter Concerts kick-off in Green Bay, Wisconsin in 2023! You'll also learn how TSO continues to draw crowds after 25+ years, Al's favorite part of a TSO show, and what's left on the TSO bucket list.
You can also listen to the complete interview on our Maximum Ink Radio Music Show across the Civic Media network in Wisconsin or anywhere via the app.

Great interview. What a dude and you can tell the group and Paul O'Neill really meant/means a lot to him.

I first discovered TSO while living in SoCal in 2007. I have attended every concert in SoCal for every year since, except for 2020 (a bad case of Covid) . . . now living in Prescott, AZ, I have attend since 2021 in Phoenix. Every year I introduce different people to the TSO experience. It truly is an experience. I'll keep going as long as they will !

just seen TSO live for the first time 11-25-23 in Seattle and man the videos i've been watching can never capture a moment of the live show! It was nothing less than the greatest concert that I've ever attended and I've seen MANY a concert.that being said I believe that every time TSO comes to town I'll be getting my tickets well in advance.thank you AL for keeping Pauls legacy alive and growing.see you in Seattle next year!

I saw TSO for the first time in 2000 in Denver, CO. I just saw them again, and it was my 25th time! 🎄🙏🏻

[@oneninerniner3427]

Love TSO! I knew what they're about was something extra special from the first time I heard their music, then we went to a show!

St Louis, last Sunday afternoon! Great show!

[@carlstephenson8901]

I've seen TSO 10 times. Need to bring shows back to Hampton Roads VA. My son (Army) met the band years ago between flights at the Houston Airport. He was so thrilled to meet them! So supportive of our Military!

[@conniewest485]

I saw my first show in 2003. I've seen them every year since.

10x offender, saw them once and have seen them 10 years straight until this year, i had scheduled oral surgery 5 day's before the Green Bay Wisconsin show, WHAT A PUTZ!! never again will I miss

[@bobw9993]

We saw TSO for our 6th and 7th time yesterday in Ontario, California🎉🎉❤❤❤

Took our 9 year old grandson to our first show in 2006 because a friend and radio colleague game us a radio cut of Christmas Eve/Sarajevo several years before his first concert. We would have it on in the car and when it ended we were greeted with, his little voice saying, "play it again Grandpa". When he was 9, as I wrote earlier, he got the full dose of TSO a d loves it to this day. In those, we have missed 2 shows and got to see them twice in 2022, the opening show in Council Bluffs and in KC near the end of the tour. Love the effects, from lasers to flame effects to snow for Appalachian snow. It is hinging on sensory overload, but will not miss it again. From Nebraska.

Saw them last week. Great show!

[@Taarna1969]

Great interview! I was at the very first show in Cleveland in 1999 at the Palace Theater (fifth row...I was deaf for days) and I was at the last show that Paul appeared in on New Year's Eve 2016, also in Cleveland. Have loved these guys since day one. One of the things I love about going to the concerts, besides the actual show, of course, is seeing the variety of people in the audience. Young, old, in-between and just EVERY walk of life. It's simply electric.

[@NickLaytonGuitar]

Great interview! Al is awesome and TSO rules. You deserve a lot more views than this!

[@michaellewis3414]

I have enjoyed TSO immensely. The only concerts my wife and I missed was when Covid kept them from touring. Looking forward to their 2024 concert. 15:58

Proud repeat offender🙋‍♂️🎸🎶🎻🎼

[@kskisser]

TSO belongs in the RRHOF. They are an institution which will never be equaled.

[@donpetersen8198]

He sure doesn't look the guitarist for Megadeth or Savatage . . .
