Anyone ever been to one of their concerts? Thoughts?

We went last year I think. It was AWESOME. Totally worth the money they put Manheim Steamroller to shame.

Not the best music, but it's fun. Nice thing to do during the holidays, kinda like seeing the Nutcracker.

We saw them a couple years ago. It was fun, and definitely worth the ticket price. I don't know that I'd go again, but we did enjoy it and are glad we went!

Almost. DH and I had tickets, got there, butts in the seats then DH's cell phone goes off. Yep - the baby sitter called - DD was barfing all over the place (she was fine when we left). So, back to the car and home to the poor kid. We laugh about it to this day whenever we play their music.

I liked it. I don't go to the Christmas show anymore because it's the same old same old and they trot this half dead guy out to blather when all I want to hear is the music.

We want to go this year. And, they'll be coming to our state during a time when DD will be home from college, so we've signed onto their website so we'll be first to know when the tickets go up for sale.

Went a few years ago. Good show. Long show!
Eta, lol. I was going to say husband didn't love it as much, even though his interest is why we went. I do think it was a little long, but high energy and fun.

I agree they are worth seeing once. After that, just go ahead and enjoy their CD's or downloads .

We also did the Christmas show. It was a really nice show and longer than I thought it would be.
Not sure I would do the Christmas show again but would do a regular one again.

I heard they changed the Christmas show a few years ago. Not sure, I've only been once. I recall reading something like that when I was getting tickets last year.

Been a couple of times and I quite enjoy their show. I also like Mannheim Steamroller. They are nothing alike.
I think the show has changed from when I last saw them.
They are worth the money.

The show is in Canada in December. It will probably be snowing outside the building.

Saw them years ago. It was the Beethoven's Last Night tour. Loved it. They are within 150 miles of me in December so thanks for this thread. Reminded me to check them out again. I have two friends who have seen the Christmas Tour and they both liked it. Off to check out ticket availability now. Dang it, swamp you are about to cost me money

They performed in front of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin on New Years Eve to bring in 2014. They were impressive as was their light show.

I won tickets from a local radio station to see their Christmas show 2 years ago- SO good! We didn't make it to the Christmas show last year due to finances (I was being extremely tight with the purse strings because H's company cut their annual Christmas bonus at the last minute). They released the tour dates for this year, and for some reason Indianapolis isn't on it Ft. Wayne is, but that's more then I care to drive in the winter.
