Just got back from TSO. Every year I think, "They can't top this." And then they do it. This year, they sat around and said, "Umm, okay... how can we up the ante? How about... uh... I got it: cherry-pickers that hoist players over the audience, and a giant pendulum clock with flames coming out of it. Yeah." Batshit crazy.
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).
