Ok wow where to begin...amazingly majorly awesome doesn't describe how good the TSO concert was. The lights were really really awesome and intricate! I shoulda brought sunglasses since it was so bright. And the pyrotechnics! They turned different colors!! And it was very loud (can you tell this is my first concert ever?). They opened with Wizards in Winter (my fave TSO song)...I woulda headbanged but I was still in shock. I headbanged later though and it was sooo fun and I think I scared my brother. The guitarists were insanely awesome!!! And one of the violinists was shredding on her violin! The first half of the show was Christmas songs and the other was majorly rock out songs. They played songs like Farandole, Wish Liszt (Toy Shop Madness) (oh man the guitars RULE on this song...I was watching the guitarists play and I'm like...how do you do that??), Christmas Eve in Sarajevo (that got stuck in my head), Requiem the Fifth (I think I headbanged most on this song), Flight of the Bumblebee (oh man that was sooo fast and the guitarists...man!! They're like a bunch of Luca's!!), and....O FORTUNA!!! I freaked! Oh man it was soooo epic! O Fortuna metal style: RULES. I didn't think anyone would headbang but they did! One of the guitarists walked to each person on stage and had "headbanging contests" with them! It was so amusing! He walked up to one of the the keyboardists and she headbanged too while still playing keyboard perfectly! I'd mess up majorly. The insane shedding violinist and the headbanging guitarist were both raised on a platform never stopping in playing their instruments...I was kinda far from the stage and it was cool actually seeing them up close. There were like 30,000 people in this place too...I had never been there (the American Airlines Center) and I walked in and I was like...OMG huge!! I got a shirt and a book thingy showing pics of them. I'm sooo going to see them next year...
