Omg i fail these guys are famous❤

[@sierratrilogy]

I remember the first time they premiered Wish Liszt, many years ago. So glad to see it back in the show. I had it as a ring time for 4 years.

[@davidkennedy2555]

i bought tickets for my wife and I. I thought they were an orchestra. Well, they kind of are, but DANG was I juiced when I found out the were a Rock-And-Roll band. Like Queen, they are classically inspired, and can do any thing they dang well please. I've been going to concerts for 50 years and this was easily the best I've been there for. Stones, Queen, Skynard, Aerosmith, etc. Best show evar!

[@valeriekoch9128]

They started out as Savatage 's alter ego

[@JescaML]

The orchestra part behind them to the left is usually local..

[@Sandypetr]

It's like rocked out orchestra music plus Christmas😂🎄🎶❤️🎅

[@hutch4008]

One of the greatest stage shows of all time absolutely phenomenal!!!!!

[@brianclark7804]

John Brink is such a gifted vocalist. I do miss Rob Evan immensely

[@Crazetrtle_NotTTK]

my Christmas is not complete until I hear Mr. Brian Hicks say Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!

[@jwall3873]

Az you read inany of the comments, you just cant see them once. Also my wife and i discovered, sitting on the floor level is great, but to take it all in, the best seats are in the elevated sections. Oh, and they have a talented sound crew, who do not hamfist the FOH mix. One can actually clise your eyes and pick out each instrument!!! Bravo to them to make the band so absolutely great!

Umm in a word, WOW !!!

I was front row with my wife at this show. It's an annual tradition for her and I. Brings back memories. Thanks!

[@martinw1225]

This show in Newark at the Prudential Center was ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!! They’re always amazing, but this years was my favorite in a long time. The entire band and singers had so much energy, enthusiasm, and excitement. Chris, Roddy, Tony, and Joel were amazing, Mee Eun Kim and Derek were awesome on keyboards, and Jeff Plate’s drum solo was awesome! Loved the singers - Russell, Robin, Zak, John, Caleb, Kelsie, Georgia, Gabbie, Natalya, Kayla were all phenomenal (especially Kelsie and Russell). The narrator Bryan Hicks was wonderful. Just an incredible show from start to finish!

[@johnkern7239]

Saw show in c-ville …on 12/19 loved it best show ever

TSO is incredible. I've seen them twice and they put on an awesome show.

[@JescaML]

Been going to my local arena here in Hershey PA for the past 18 years to see TSO with my grandmother . Last year was the first time without her after she died.

[@joejones6501]

The best concert ever.

[@johntiggleman4686]

One of the guitar players, Joel Hoekstra, is my wife's second cousin. Pretty cool to have a famous shredder in the family.

[@eric_in_florida]

he's such an overall impressive guy

[@JescaML]

They use local musicians for the orchestra. That is so cool. How long do they have to practice those songs

[@johntiggleman4686]

@@JescaML Not quite sure, but I would think late September. I follow Chris Caffery, and he usually posts when they start practice.

[@JescaML]

@@johntiggleman4686 they probably need to once they get the playlist as it changes every year. But still way cool. I’ve been going every year for the last 18 years in Hershey. This is about the same play list as they have two tours..

[@JescaML]

@@johntiggleman4686 this was at my arena when they pan up to the right you’ll see the championship banners. I was sitting straight across from the stage in the handicap area so I normally don’t see it full on.

I have never been a big heavy metal band fan. However, I thoroughly enjoyed this show. Keep up the great work. May you all have a safe and Merry Christmas.

[@rachelm8192]

Not fan of heavy metal band but I watched this concert here in you tube. I loved it. I will see them next week in DC. Hope be so good as well in this video.

[@FrozenRose816]

Thanks so much for posting this, I was unable to go as I actually had tickets for another show that happened at Kleinhan's on the same night, bought before TSO announced their dates. I was pretty bummed but this was a great consolation prize 🙂

[@luckyheart9096]

So happy to see Zak Stevens and Russel Allen, among one of the best male voices. I did appreciate the other male guest singers, but I am afraid I didn't get their names. Can anyone help? Thanks. Great performance, by the way. I didn't expect less from TSO. 🤩 Merry Christmas!

[@SarahSmith-lb3kt]

John Brink sings what child is this, back to a reason, and what is Christmas.. Brink is my favorite and what Child is this is his masterpiece, usually he holds last note for approximately 20 to 24 seconds effortlessly it’s amazingly……search him on here…he has been with TSO for about 14 years

[@sierratrilogy]

​@@SarahSmith-lb3ktI timed Rob Evan one time on WTIC and he was at 26 seconds. John is good, but there was something about Rob on WIC, especially interacting with Chris and Dave (their expressions were priceless).

[@sierratrilogy]

Robin Borneman, John Brink, Caleb Johnson

[@eric_in_florida]

As great as this is to see the players up close the show is probably best viewed from farther out so as to appreciate the majesty of the lights and lasers etc.

[@eric_in_florida]

Also I guess they dropped O Holy Night? bummer

[@ericmcmillion1484]

Was at the next show in Charleston and it was an even better rendition of when the crowds are gone Kayla nailed it

[@JescaML]

Ive seen them 18 times now still just as good. last two shows were without my grandmother who also had enjoyed seeing them. Sadly she past away June 2023. In Hershey Nov 23 my parents and I sat off to the right so I don’t get to see the full on version. Did the guy who introduce the show in the beginning with the check come out in a Buffalo jersey?

[@billriddle9215]

I still miss Savatage.

[@davidarst3211]

They are all TRULY TRULY AMAZING my wife and I had the chance to see them at least twice. But I really wish they would of Came to Wichita Kansas. Makes me really sad they didn't put us on there Tour Schedule 😢😢🥺🥺😔😔 I'm very disappointed 😔 about that 😞😢😢

[@ColinPottersBar]

Hey guys, do they ever tour Europe? Or do I have to visit the USA to see them?! What a fantastic performance! A real show....

[@GBPyro_920]

sadly they don't tour overseas. they do around 100 shows in a 6 week span every year

[@Swissler73]

TSO have been on European tour twice or even 3 times

[@sierratrilogy]

They were at Wacken Open Air in Germany in 2015. A one-night event where both TSO and Savatage shared the same stage.

[@skycannamela9668]

No, I think I realize if I moved to Buffalo, I still see you guys

[@imwhitewolf]

I saw them twice in Nashville. the first time was awesome though the light show was too intense. unfortunately, the second time, they seemed to just walk through it without any real passion. I guess it's hard to get up for every concert after almost 35 year. I love their music. the guy who does the talking is GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!

[@yohan50111]

dang it, TSO will be here in DC on 12/23 and checking tickets now

[@sniffer6285]

It says Buffalo in the title. But I was also in Grand Rapids for this. It was amazing

[@SlightlyBurntToast252]

I love TSO. Such a talented group! But, I don’t care for this version of their Christmas show. “The Ghosts of Christmas Eve” show was classic. The storyline touching as well. I guess I’m of the “If it’s not broke, don’t fix it” crowd on this one.

[@falloutfan6649]

Who was the female guitarist on Christmas Eve Sarajevo?--Oh, I just looked it up, it's Emily Hastings. Is this the first year she's played with them? (Edit: thanks, everyone for clearing that up for me. I must have seen something that Emily Hastings has played TSO, but not WITH them.)

[@danielwhite1667]

I think that is Kayla Reeves. She’s one of the female vocalists, but usually has the guitar to close out the show and then gives it to a fan. The band’s signatures are on it.

[@PadreJud]

@@danielwhite1667 Are you sure it's not Emily Hastings? I googled and found that she often comes on for Christmas Eve Sarajevo.

[@danielwhite1667]

@@PadreJud yes, I’m sure that is Kayla Reeves. I’ve been to at least one TSO show a year since 2017 and it has always been Kayla to play the guitar and give it away to close the show. I’ve only been to the TSO East group’s shows so maybe Emily did that one time with the west group, but this is definitely the East Group in this video.

[@martinw1225]

It’s Kayla Reeves. She usually plays guitar for the finale and does the giveaway at the end of the show when they give the guitar to a young kid. As far as I know - there has never been an Emily Hastings in TSO since I’ve known them (since 2007)

[@tinamahaffey7775]
