Last night Jeff and I saw Trans Siberian Orchestra in Houston. My father and step-mother bought the tickets before I lost my job and a more pragmatic Christmas gift may have been more in order, but I'm not sorry we went. While a Christmas-themed rock opera may seem like a strange idea, it works surprisingly well. The lazar show and pyrotechnics alone made the stuff I saw at the Pink Floyd show years ago look amateurish. The rock music was louder and harder, too.
If you think that Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24 sounds like an instrumental political statement when you hear it over the radio (a mix of the two peaceful Christmas carols God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen and Carol of the Bells played in a driving, violent heavy-metal style), the live show with the background images of multi national flags and world leaders accompanied by the lead in narration leaves no doubt.
