Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Beethoven's Last Night (The Complete Narrated Version) [Official Video]

[@alexnutcasio936]

RIP Paul O'Neill, without YOU , this would NOT exist. YOU made it happen!!

[@rklewis2]

Rare as hen's teeth: This album is a complete masterpiece, start to finish. I think they only toured this album one time. I was lucky enough to catch the show, and it was great as well. I'm a musician, and this is one of those albums that you just wish you were somehow involved in making. Perfection.

[@roueUniversityofMinnesota]

I was at the performance they recorded, and it was the single greatest concert I have EVER been to.

[@madcarmod4955]

I was so lucky that it was the one time I actually got to see it live.. money around Christmas is always so tight so I've only been 3 times in my life so far

[@69junkbox]

Actually they toured it twice. The first year the seemed to be testing it in small venues. I saw it at the great Landmark Theater in Syracuse NY. The following year they toured it in bigger arenas though smaller than the ones they play their winter shows in. I saw it twice that year at the Oncenter in Syracuse NY and at the Veterans War Memorial arena in Binghamton NY 30 days apart sitting exactly front and center for both! And got to meet and take pics with Kayla Reeves at the Binghamton show. So exciting! Counting the winter shows in Rochester, I saw them 5 times in 2 years during that stretch!

This album should have been filmed as a musical long time ago.. I've watched it here (in Germany) once few years ago, it was played in theater by high school students.. it was marvelous.. as a huge fan of Savatage and TSO I couldn't help not crying many times watching what I always imagined and loved.. @Trans-Siberian Orchestra, please do make it happen.. let an honored, creative director bring this to cinemas

[@tritontransport]

They did do a spring tour of this from 2010-12 in theater venues kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYCTYYOtqbqgnbc

[@AkthamAbulHusn]

​@@tritontransport it's not the same of what I'm talking about.. The album should really be a musical that lives on the stage for ever (like Cats), or a great movie to be always seen (like Moulin Rouge).. Here's a free sample of what I mean.. it's narrated in French, the singing is not that good, the sound quality and the acting are bad, yet, it gives another kind of emotions.. The one I saw in Germany was way much better and it was all English. Unfortunately, because of copyrights they can't open a recording of it publicly.. so I say, this should be done via TSO permissions to someone who really will make it as it deserves kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYqnqHmpbZKtp7s

[@mrinvader]

Darren Lynn Bousman Please :P REPO the genetic opera is from him... let him make a film version of this.

[@quinnzykir]

YAAAAAAS.

[@christina1471]

My high school actually created and performed an actual musical with this soundtrack with a live orchestra ::cough:: over two decades ago.

[@josephschultz3301]

Ah, yes, the album where you can listen to these guys without it being Christmas. Seriously, this is amazing stuff. And what an amazing concept for a rock opera too.

[@nathanmarsh7976]

Don't forget "Night Castle" another good non holiday album!

[@josephschultz3301]

@@nathanmarsh7976 Thank you! A lot of people really think that this band exists just for the sake of Christmas lol. I appreciate you :D

[@AWAREDIAGRAM680]

@@josephschultz3301You could also go back and listen to Savatage the original group before Paul and the Oliva brothers formed TSO

[@P_Rodd]

Check out Night Castle too

[@Greg-et2dp]

Trans-siberian orchestra this my favorite story about Beetboven and your my big fan i like the electronic piano 🎹 and electric guitar 🎸 this awesome my friend ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Bondrkmz]

This is my favorite TSO album. Would love to see them do another tour for it again.

[@PolGara0139]

I saw the Ghosts of Christmas Eve & that has to be my favorite. It’s a shame I can’t find anyone that likes to see them in concert. Would love to see them again

[@christinemarinaccio3971]

Me too!

[@FanStoryVideoStudios]

Saw the West Coast tour in Ohio a few days ago, my first time seeing TSO live since the Pandemic and it felt GOOD to be back! Closest seats I’ve ever had to the stage and it was a whole different world. Can’t wait for next tour! 🤘🏼

[@Thatzacguy]

This album changed my life. It will always be in my top 10 of all time.

[@MrKellyDC]

This album changed mine as well. I was recently separated from my family, from my church, and from my profession. I was lost… I had trouble going through a single day… this album was one of many things God did to save me.

[@Learnerofthings]

I heard it in a bookstore when I was looking for a Robert Jordan book. I bought the CD.

[@LuminousLuna01]

I wish they still had this narration on spotify.

[@MrKellyDC]

This album, the words in the songs, saved me, when my family, my religion, and my job, all abandoned me. I’ve gotten most of my children back, my understanding of God and religion has been restored 10 fold, my career is back and better. And a new wonderful wife. I’m 15 years down the road that this album put me on.

[@LordVader1094]

Well done, good fellow

[@Subdeaconmark]

I have loved TSO for years ever since I first heard them on the Radio. I own literally every cd they put out. I watch their Utube videos and have grieved with tears along with them through the loss of bassist David Z and founder Paul Oneil Who's philanthropy will be and is sorely missed. For the first time my wife scrapped together enough money to buy tickets (cheap seats)😇 but least we can finally go. I began to believe that I was never going to be able to go and would just have to get by with their well played CD's. We are elderly and it's not easy in these unsettled times to save for anything, let alone a "Concert" I Had a heart attack a year and a half ago and combined with a recent life thratening gut issue where i could not eat for over 30 days as well as having a bad back with screws and other hardware in me, it's been difficult to make ends meet. So my dream of actually seeing TSO seemed to be in my rear view mirror. But my amazing wife somehow was able to scrimp up some money secretly and surprised me on our anniversary with two tickets to see TSO! (cheap seats of couse) 😇but I finally get to see them. I Have been trying to go see them for literally 10 years. So now one of my bucket list activities will be marked off on December 11th at three o'clock, we will actually be going to SEE TSO. Praise God and of course, my beloved wife. #so excited

[@ChristopherCashell]

I still have this on CD from back around ~20 years ago and I still love to break it out regularly. The music and the story are absolutely amazing. It really is a brilliant hidden gem among TSO's catalog. They did a summer tour for Beethoven's Last Night for a year or two after it came out, and it has (and always will be) a favorite concert highlight, too. So excited to see it available here, now. 25 years later, and you guys haven't missed a beat.

[@VadeaShepard]

FINALLY. Oh my gosh this has been so hard to find online. One of my very favorite albums but the narrations just make this legendary.

[@BL-9065]

YESSS 🤘🏿😎🤘🏿 Never letting go of this

[@OhyesIdid1]

This gave me the shivers. I loved listening to it as I puttered around. Thank you for sharing your music. It's beautiful.

[@jamescampbell39]

I attended the live concert of this many moons ago and was swept away by the magic of the event.

[@heidecosta7834]

I was a concert promoter, even big events like Day on the Green, Monster's of Rock, Lallapalooza. TSO is still the best show I've ever seen, after 20,000+ shows 👏🏼

[@apartmentdfilms]

Just relistened to this album for the first time in a decade and found out about this narrated version. This is such a masterpiece, Who Is This Child brought on the tears. Rock o. TSO!!!!!!!!

[@arlynmd]

I have been listening to the narration of Beethoven's Last Night and is absolutely fantastic. It's a sad story but it is beautifully narrated and the music and singing is absolutely wonderful. I want to buy this album when it becomes available again. I look forward to Trans-Siberian Orchestra yearly visit to Jacksonville in December.

[@MrKellyDC]

This album saved me when my family, my church, my job, had all abandoned me. I rebuilt based on what I learned from these words and this story.

[@dksl9899]

I know this makes no sense to the existing story, but every time I hear "A Last Illusion" I imagine the devil unleashing foul creatures over the city as Beethoven's inner darkness grows (Flight of the Bumblebee). But finally he decides to trade his last symphony for her life. The camera then zooms in on the little homeless girl in the gutter, who wakes up, throws off her blanket, and stares at the swarm of horrors with sleepy amusement. Then she flicks her head and instantly transforms into a teenage rocker. As the notes of the 8th Symphony begin, she picks up an electric guitar and plays. The power of Beethoven's music lifts her above the city and her guitar riffs drive the creatures into the abyss, as light streams down and a choir from all the ages joins in.

[@jonathancomisiak2863]

I love the album, and their concert based on the album was amazing.

[@bromthebard4160]

Yep, I've seen this album and the Christmas album twice each live, and Beethoven's Last Night is still the best concert I've ever seen, and I've been to quite a few

[@arijkse]

They are awesome and their shows are brilliant. I wish I could go again to one of their shows I love the music especially the dramatic type of it.

[@wishingonthemoon1]

OMG THANK YOU FOR POSTING AAAAAAH I dream of seeing this live.

[@ShanC313]

I've been loving TSO for a long long time and am beyond grateful for this one. Thankyou for the beautiful message

One of the best concept albums ever.

By far my favorite opera

[@ezrastardust3124]

Absolutely breathtaking ❤ Should be made into a 2-D animated movie 💗

Ala Fantasia. That movie got me into classical music. The second I saw in theaters while pregnant.

[@ezrastardust3124]

@@ChibiHoshiDragon omg yessss Same art style and all I’d watch that If nobody else makes it I will

[@floorguy9411]

Still awesome after all this time! And finally, someone truly nailed a rock opera! The others I can think of- Tommy, Jesus Christ Superstar, Hair, and other partial concepts like Styx’s Mr. Roboto- don’t have this polish, this professionalism, this many layers of sheer brilliance or the poetic craftsmanship. Imho, anyway. I only saw it once live but it was something I could never forget. I was just sort of stunned for most of it. Brilliant.

[@CountryRockBear1983]

This is awesome thank you for uploading this TSO!!!! I wish this could be done with Night Castle if it has a story that’s my favorite “dark” album and the other Christmas albums too!!!!!!

[@jessicamasonsonneborn4864]

I’ve seen them every time they have come to Salt Lake City . I spent $500 a ticket to see them . Well worth the money

Wonderful, this is the first album i listened to with TSO! Love it!!! 🎊

[@kenl.6340]

Yaaaas. The best album

[@nbuehster]

The song that stands out the most for me is I'll Keep Your Secrets. I have to go through a lot of stress in my life. And sometimes I feel like I have no one to turn to. the song always comforts me, and makes me feel like somebody really is out there hearing my cries for help. (And the narration before the song adds to it. (spoiler alert, for anyone who hasn't heard this narrated album before) I feel like I'm Beethoven, and Patti Russo is Theresa.) Thanks Trans-Siberian Orchestra & Patti Russo for telling me I'm not alone. PS. Why didn't they have a complete narrated version of The Christmas Attic? And I know there was a 2CD edition of Christmas Eve And Other Stories with a narration, (CD2) but that album should have also been like this.

[@heidecosta7834]

The Christmas albums have the "Opera" written in the booklet which comes with the album. Remember, we weren't so visual back then... I'll Keep Your Secrets & The Moment move me also. There's many inspirational songs on Night Castle too... The Safest Way Till Tomorrow is special... ❤

This may be a dumb question but is that supposed to be Paul O’Neil getting up in Beethoven’s grill?

Nope, that’s an illustrated interpretation version of Mephistopheles. Or the main antagonist of this story telling album. At least, if I recall correctly.

😂these people are AMAZ!NG!

Am I missing something? I hear it but can't see the concert.
