Pol "eino_79" (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews This review is from: Trans-Siberian Orchestra - The Ghosts Of Christmas Eve (DVD) Trans-Siberian Orchestra. One great band, one amazing concept. This DVD contains music taken from the bands first two albums. (Christmas Eve and Other Stories & The Christmas Attic.) The DVD contains a nice mix of the bands original music + a great little story intertwined to go along with it. The story is that of a run-away girl who, to escape the cold one night enters an abandoned theater. Inside she meets The Caretaker, played by Ossie Davis. While inside he introduces her to an amazing show only the likes of angels (actually the spirits and ghosts of the theater) could have performed. The show is that of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. In the act they are joined by Jewel singing "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing," and by Michael Crawford singing "O Holy Night." The Caretaker uses the imagery of the show to help the girl to change her life. Such songs as "Good King Joy," "Music Box Blues," "This Christmas Day," and...

TSO is magic. Plain and simple. But this DVD is, well, an extended music video.There's a big difference. Let me try to explain it to you. I saw TSO in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on December 2. It was a sold out show and I was sitting second row center. Words can't even begin to describe the emotions I experienced that night. I was awed. I was captivated. I was stirred. I was in tears. I was transported to another world, a magical world of beauty, joy, passion -- did I say magic? The word that best describes what I experienced is "magic." A TSO CD is mesmerizing all on its own. But a TSO performance is an unbelievable experience. This DVD -- The Ghost of Christmas Eve -- falls somewhere in between. It's all the music with none of the magic. Maybe that's too harsh. Maybe it's all of the music with SOME of the magic. This DVD is part on-stage performance (lip sync'd) and part movie. It's the story of a young woman looking to get...

I went tosee them in Dayton on November 24th and they know how to put on a show. This video brings back memories of that concert. From the beautiful Jewel singing "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" to the Broadway legend Michael Crawford singing "O Holy Night", the only flaw in this video is that it's too short. It's over before you want it to be. Ossie Davis did a great job as the caretaker and the lovely Allie Sheridan did a good job as the runaway girl. All the smiles she had on her face as she watched TSO remind me of the smiles I had watching them perform in concert. This video is a must have for anyone who loves rock and roll and Christmas music. The video also features the breakthrough music video of Christas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24. I was almost in tears during the song "This Christmas Day". I highly... Read more |
