Nice twist this year, too; they scrapped the old storyline and built a new one around the "Lost Christmas Eve" album. Same sort of schtick (angel comes to earth searching), but different storyline with different songs. As usual, they follow the plot for the first half, and after introducing the band at the midpoint they dive into other stuff (Mountain King, Beethoven's 5th, Nutcracker, a few Christmas tunes they didn't play in the first half).

I saw the show two weeks ago in OK City, and it was you say "Batshit Crazy". The Christmas Concert was great, but the rock concert at the end was beyond anything I can describe.
