Sunday afternoon, I got the spend a few hours with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra for their latest Christmas show at the Van Andel Arena. I've been a fan of these guys since they were still Savatage, and they hadn't developed the huge Christmas-themed spectacle it has become.
The Trans-Siberian Orchestra show is a fantastic experience for the holidays, and features amazing musicians, a stunning spectacle...and a cash COW!
The traveling experience grossed a whopping $52 MILLION in 52 days, from November 13th through January 4th! The two touring shows (one east coast, one west) brought in $1 MILLION A DAY, played for almost a million fans, and donated more than a million
TODAY is the last day to enter this awesome 97.9 WGRD contest for a trip for four in August 2015 to Wacken Open Air Festival in Germany to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra and Savatage rock!
I've been a fan of Trans-Siberian Orchestra since they put the project together, and I was a fan of Savatage before that.
I got to see one of the first tours the band did, when it was much more stripped down, and it was really good even then.
Flash forward several years, and the show keeps getting bigger, better and more amazing!
If you've never seen the Trans-Siberian Orchestra perform, don't even bother imagining what might unfold.
It is something seemingly slightly beyond the realm of reality being brought to Grand Rapids for Trans-Siberian Orchestra's performances at 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. in Van Andel Arena.
The Trans-Siberian Orchestra is coming back to Grand Rapids for two shows on December 7th at the Van Andel Arena!
After last year's final run of "The Lost Christmas Eve", they're coming back with a new show, and lots of never-before-performed music with, "The Christmas Attic"!
If you haven't seen the Trans-Siberian Orchestra before, you should get your tickets and go check them
