Trans-Siberian Orchestra - The Lost Christmas Eve (The Complete Narrated Version) [Official Video]

[@jodiej4884]

My parents tradition was going to see Trans Siberian Orchestra every year. My mom battled breast cancer and lost that battle on Christmas day in 2011. That was extremely difficult and changed the holidays for my family for many years. My dad took me and my sister to see this show 3 days after she past. It was powerful and beautiful. I play the Trans Siberian Orchestra every season for my mom. It makes me feel like she's here with me when I listen to them.

[@aspateer]

as awesome as this is... it is NOTHING compared to seeing it performed live. Probably the greatest stage show of any metal band ever... PERIOD.

[@Brian-zp1df]

I wouldnt say nothing though

[@beccacertifiedpersonaltrai3636]

Yes, Jenna & I saw TSO live at the PNC Arena last Christmas, 2023.

[@Loveroffood41]

I saw them in 2009 and I will always love this concert.

[@supra1jzed]

Just took my girl last night to the show at PNC (Lenovo Center now). Saw them first ~2011 and let's call that show a 10/10...last night would be a 20/10. Always the absolute best concert AND show performance one could possibly go see. Their sound, light, and rigging engineers are the best in the industry for sure.​@beccacertifiedpersonaltrai3636

[@tribalstyle138]

I was supposed to see them and it was snowing so bad our family begged us to not drive and we turned around on the highway and went home. They didn't cancel the show so we were out $200. No regrets being safe. Just sad. Someday.

[@squamousthomas3267]

As I sit here at 11:36 PM on Christmas Eve of 2022, I listen to the final narration and realize that there is no greater gift to give than forgiveness. Christmas has always been a tough time for me; I am not fond of the commercialism and I have been hurt by religious people in my life. But this story taught me that you never know what’s going on in someone’s life, and that you should give them the benefit of the doubt. Merry Christmas to all who read this. God bless us, everyone.

[@nathanielsmith148]

God bless you, too. A beautiful comment to share. Forgiveness is truly a divine gift.

[@beccacertifiedpersonaltrai3636]

Sadly, religious people will hurt us, and without compunction. Jesus never taught to hurt people.

[@bodhranjane]

Part of me wanted to skip Christmas after losing two family members this year... but another part wants to embrace it even more. We are not here for long. Enjoy what really makes you happy!

[@normvw4053]

Keep them in your heart, there they live forever. Remember and hold them close, I've traveled this same road, and those on the other side help to guide me. May it also be that way with you.

[@kimberlyhalstead4170]

I was like that in 2014 and 2015 I had miscarried right before Christmas one year and my mother passed away right before Christmas the year before. Christmas is the hardest for me.

[@pattydemeule3644]

Losing my Da at 19 was devastating but he asked to keep going. To never forget him, to take care of my mom, to know he'd be with me always. On my wedding I was calm joyful. My family waited for me to fall apart, they knew I was still going to dance a father daughter dance. My brother was who I would dance with here but I'd dance with my dad in my heart. Well as the song started I started to break down but as I took my brother's hand it was my Da dancing with me. When the pictures came back our photographer was very upset with himself. My brother and I look out of focus. Everything else is crisp and in focus. My father was right there. Lol I believed that day but when we looked at each other my husband and I, he said oh my God he really was there. My point why I tell this story life is short but in the moments when you are given the chance to believe you see it's not...

[@deborahlovel6337]

I am so sorry for your loss...

[@Bubba.mitchell4603]

It will make you regret it if you felt like skipping Christmas would make sense. The best thing to do when you’re grieving is to keep everything as usual as possible because what you’re doing is that you don’t have to change your life and make it hurt more because of what you experienced that you couldn’t control. May you never rob yourself of happiness as long as you live with your experiences.

[@stephenboath924]

The Trans-Siberian Orchestra are as important to Christmas as Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye . Listening to their music, will put ANYONE in the Christmas Spirit.

[@madstrad123]

The narrator makes this whole story. Well.......special!! I would of love him telling me when I was a kid at my bedtime.

[@anthonycoscia5501]

I love how they put in the narration!. That makes it even better…For me!…

[@normvw4053]

A Christmas story, and each of their Christmas music has a story worth listening to. There is a lesson for each of us...if only we will listen. Let us learn to listen, and share with all others, everywhere.

[@anthonycoscia5501]

@@normvw4053 I share The Trans-Siberian Orchestra with everyone I know. My dad 72, and he likes them, after I took him to a concert. And you got to understand, me and my dad don’t agree on too much.

[@errorfox6682]

Just got home from my first ever Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert today and I honestly had one of the best times of my life by far. If you have the spare time and money to attend then you definitely should try to make it to the next available show

[@charlesharper7292]

Was having a particularly shitty Christmas one year, and the radio played some stuff from an album called Lost Christmas Eve. Changed the holidays right side up again! TSO doesn't do Christmas, They do a TRIBUTE to Christmas. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@niccihart]

The best Christmas Rock band. Their stories are so amazing.

[@peggymiller9064]

I pray that everyone on earth finds the peace and love that their Creator has given them. May God bless you.

[@allencolvin5231]

It’s a heavy-metal Christmas for me every year. I still need to go see Trans-Siberian Orchestra in person. I’ve been wanting to do this for 20 years or so. Wow I’m getting old. Heavy-metal never dies.

[@breakfastclub3909]

the part of the school of hard rock where Jack Black talks about melting your face.... yea the lasers ant the guitars in the Christmas show will melt your face! its worth the trip! i have watched it 4 times on various parts of the country and it gets me excited to know they are close by.

[@tritontransport]

Go see them! You won’t regret it. I try to attend multiple shows per tour 🥹🤘

[@AWAREDIAGRAM680]

Best concert I have ever been to and I’ve been to a few other artist’s show but this is by far the best band live.

I saw them about 10 years ago. What a great show! Go!

[@AndrewDunlap77]

Please do! you will be enchanted and delighted!

[@amyhi6715]

Every year when I hear this narration and music, I cry. Never fails. I'm a wife and mom; it's so heartbreakingly beautiful. The torture and heartache and pain I feel deeply. But also the relief and burst of love, the flood gates of all that a desperate, anguished, disappointing life exploding, cascading into a deep pool of peace. Thank you TSO for the reality and not being afraid to address such sensitive issues. This is my favorite Christmas story because of the realism and emotions it evokes. Thank you so very, very much.

[@AndrewDunlap77]

it gives us hope!

[@AndrewDunlap77]

I've seen TSO 3 times so far. The first was around 2009. then again in '21 and '23. I will see them again on Dec 28, 2024. It never gets old. It's such an amazing fusion of traditional music and rock opera!

[@sGeek-lm5kj]

I saw them last month in Hershey and this years show is amazing with The Lost Christmas Eve! i will see them again in Philly this Sunday, which will be my 20th time seeing them. I can't imagine Christmas without TSO. I hope you get to see them this year!!

[@angelikaaugustin3964]

I listen to TSO the whole year, not just on christmastime. The music is so wonderful and I enjoy it very much.

[@normvw4053]

This, it seems to me, that this music keeps the magic of Christmas with us all the year long. So how do show gratitude for such a gift? Maybe if we share it with each other...be it so.

[@hippiepeace8614]

Me to

[@mariamcgaughey777]

Loved them since the Savatage days, a band that never got the status they truly deserved . The sound , the lyrics and the story each album tells is true talent, which can not be touched . The presentation TSO preforms speaks for itself. Phenomenal all the way around , the Savatage that comes through in the show makes it that much more powerful for me . After seeing the show live there are no words to describe how amazing they truly are.

I found TSO right around the time they started performing live, I've been to several of their concerts and loved everyone of them, taken several friends through out the years, the last one the violinist was standing right behind me playing how awesome, the get out and jam amongst the crowd, never had that at a concert, I met Chris many years ago and a 4th of July gathering in Scranton Pa, what a nice man. They are the Greatest Of All Time. Not just for their Christmas music, but all the music 🎵🎶🎵🎶.

Listening to the TSO lifts me up! They are so talented and amazing!!

[@sambissell2658]

The BEST of the BEST of the Holiday Season. Saw them 3 times in Denver, once in Colorado Springs, now twice in Nashville, since we moved here in 2019 (including this year's show), plus the Streaming version in 2020! Will never get enough of these folks and hope to see them every year until I pass into the next realm, where I will listen to them, too!

[@SolarDolphin]

So a few months back I lost my mom. She always loved Christmas and this is the first Christmas without her around as I was listening to this it brought back feelings of Christmas's past. We would sit and listen to stories like this we actually watched that live tv show produced by TSO a while back. This entire video actually brought tears to my eyes.Can I just say thank you TSO you brought a smile to this grieving son.

I have watched both touring bands on KZbin and prefer the West group. Andrew Ross and Chloe Lowery came out to present a check to charity before the show, and I lost my mind. The show was everything that I wanted it to be and more. My girlfriend said it was fun watching me like a child in wonder the whole time. I will definitely be a "repeat offender."
