Fezmid Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 Agreed about sitting further back. I had I think it was row 4 and the spot lights they had along the foot of the stage would hit us right in the eyes sometimes as they moved them around. But it was cool seeing them perform that close. I have to say that i prefer sitting up front -- I was 4th row last year as well, and I loved being able to watch them perform up close. I didn't feel like I saw better effects when I sat further back at previous shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the spotlights would hit me, too. I'm definitely glad I did get to see them upclose the one time, though........Another reason I like the lowers - that Chris guy annoys me. He's always telling people to stand up, so then everybody has to on the floor. In my mind, when the band pulls people out of their seats with their music, that's when I want to stand.

Fezmid Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 Just bought tickets for the Minnesota show. I'm going to the Monday, December 27th at 3pm, and scored row 2 tickets! Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dib Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 There are a few dates where they are apparantly playing at 2 different places on the same day at the same time. Wish they were playing in Lauderdale, dont like the AAA in Miami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish they were playing in Lauderdale, dont like the AAA in Miami Yeah, there's two different troupes - and east and a west. My wife likes TSO, but she always says, "They're not a band, they're a performance. If someone dies, the show will still go on." She's right. It's still awesome.

Fezmid Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 Went to the show last night (2nd row aisle), and it was AWESOME. Caitlin Moe on violin was great. The band was hamming it up quite a bit too. Since we were in the 2nd row, they could see us pretty well and they were posing for pictures in the middle of songs. I wish I had brought my camera -- I could've had some amazing shots with my dSLR and 50mm f/1.4 lens. I thought they did a far better job this year than last year -- in 2009 they butchered "Old City Bar" by practically making it a slapstick comedy routine. This year aside from the intro, it was excellent. Two thumbs up! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is such a beautiful song, and I fell in love with it the first time I saw them. But, if they played it the way they play in the last few years, I would have hated it and never known how good the original is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year I'm thinking about seeing them in Buffalo and then in Minnesota, just to see some of the differences. My family's never gone, so it might be a nice Christmas gift for them if the timing actually works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezmid Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 2011 tickets are now on sale. Picked mine up yesterday for the St. Paul show on December 4th. 10th row, center, on the aisle. Nice! :0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewPort71 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Great seats Fez... No show in WV this year. So me and Mrs. Lew saw Alice Cooper at the WV state fair instead. Alice is 63 and can still rock the house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alice is 63 and can still rock the house I had 2nd row aisle seats last year, so it's a bit of a downgrade. it was cool being right next to the stage. I wonder why they're not going to WV this year. That sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fezmid Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 So I purchased tickets for the evening TSO show tonight... And a couple of days ago one of my vendors gave me a couple of tickets to their suite for the afternoon show! Looks like I'll be seeing them twice today!

LewPort71 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Good for you Fez. No Christmas show in my neck of the woods this year. But the Beethoven's Last Night your IS coming and we'll be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezmid Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 Good for you Fez. No Christmas show in my neck of the woods this year. But the Beethoven's Last Night your IS coming and we'll be there. Great shows tonight! They played three different songs from the first show to the second show which was kinda cool too (although I really wanted them to play "Sleep" again at the 2nd show ). I wasn't as impression with the violinist this time. She was ok, but not as engaging as some previous ones. And nobody compares to Anna Phoebe. http://www.annaphoebe.com/ Anyway, glad I went to both - the suite was in the back of the arena giving a great overall view, and our seats for the 2nd show were right up front getting us more involved in the individual performances. It felt like two different shows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewPort71 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 You are correct about Anna Phoebe. Now that you have seen shows from up close and way in the back...Any preference ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
