I have seen 4 of the TSO concerts they were earth shaking They made it snow in the arena The singers were so good and the band (TSO) played with such passion, Now when they go to concert they hire from local orchestras and are well taken care of They also present The locals with a check for the music programs in the area Of you see them in your area get a ticket its so worth the time and you will not forget the adventure. One sad note one of the founders passed a couple years back He was the key board player and concidered a genius by his piers. They travel the country doing their Christmas Show starting in the fall This is the best band if you want to see classical music played like Rock & Roll. Maggie contact them and interview the leader hes a great talker
Sabotage actually had another singer after Stevens left. It was Damon Jiniya he toured with them in 2001 and 2002 before they went on hiatus and focused on TSO. It was one of the last shows I saw at the Station Nightclub in RI before the fire. I have seen TSO every tour since 2000, sometimes more than once per tour. A lot of talent has graced their stages over the years. As much as I love these big shows with lights, lasers and pyro, sometimes I miss the small theater shows.
Yes, they do kick glute instrumentals, but they also have some fabulous vocal performances as well, and they are not just Christmas, they have a wonderful prog rock show with the theme of Beethoven's Last Night.
🎄 Their live performances are amazing. I got tickets last year for my sweetheart and me to see them and thoroughly enjoyed the entire concert. Maggie, If you ever get the chance to see them, do it. They make operatic rock!
Criss Oliva was a masterful guitarist and his brother was a really good vocalist. I would take a look at Hall of the Mountain King, The Unholy, or When the Crowds are Gone.
I've always said about TSO "It took a bunch of heathens to capture the true spirit of Christmas!" From the first note of their first album I was hooked!
Not a bad song. Originally released on Savatage's "Dead Winter Dead" album, it was funny, this song was around on the metal scene for nearly a decade before it went mainstream with radio play and suddenly everyone's mother was listening to it, lol. There are better tracks on that album, but this is the only Christmas themed one. But you should check out Jon Olivia's voice on the other tracks, or better, his solo work. A very unique voice, quite theatrical, and unique. I'd recommend his song "Reality's Fool" (Jon Olivia's Pain - Monarchical Renderings) or "St. Patrick's" (Savatage - Streets). Savatage also has a second vocalist, Zack Stevens, who is decent, though I don't think his voice has aged as well. He also fronted Circle to Circle. And Guitarist Chris Caffery sings as well, his solo stuff has been pretty good. You might enjoy his song "Pisses Me Off" for it's lyrical content, but his song "Music Man", while not as fun, is objectively better musically. Savatage was a great band. They did go a little to much into "Christian Rock" in the end, but it wasn't bad. It had a much darker tone than most Christian Rock.
You really have to check out the live performances from this year. Moriah Formica from PLUSH is one of the lead vocalists and absolutely KILLS it! She sings " This isn't what we meant"
I sent this to you as well-the girl is so cute--wonder if she has dance as she stands like one-also like towards the end the music is like following the girls running.watched this many time-so sweet...
I love TSO. I’ve seen them live twice. Quite an experience. So many great rock infused Christmas classics. Guess what A Mad Russian’s Christmas covers! And Christmas Canon Rock.
You shcheck out Savatage Hall of the mountain king. Like you said several members of the metal band formed TSO. You can definitely hear their metal roots and guitar work in both along with the vocals in other TSO songs. Definitely something to check out
Have seen this group in concert a number of times. It's not just the music but the light show they put on during the live show. If you have never seen one of their concerts please do yourself a favor and see at least one.
If I'm not mistaken, one of the guitarists is named Jack Frost. I know he plays in one of the live versions of TSO, but I'm pretty sure he was on their first couple of records.
You should check out other TSO albums. All of their full-length albums focus on a central story. "Beethoven's Last Night" is a favorite album of mine, telling the story of how Beethoven spends his last night alive.
Thank you Gant! This is my favorite contemporary holiday concert and/or album to blast every year! I also love that this epic-ness is followed by 'Christmas Canon' and 'O Holy Night' with Michael Crawford and the kids' choir (another idea if Maggie hasn't done either of those yet). I'm also pumped because I get to see them live shortly after Christmas for the first time!
Don´t know why everybody always recommends "Hall of the mountain king", i personally think it´s not one of the best Savatage songs, Gutter ballet, on the other hand, i agree.
@@celtasnake Sometimes people only like/remember hit songs because of exposure (MTV/radio, etc. The Hall of the Mountain King was a hit and had rotation on MTV. It's fine if you don't like it, but others do.
As a vocalist, you really should check out their non-instrumental songs, as they marry the Christmas carol with the power ballad masterfully---with a flourish of Broadway-style bravado, e.g., "An Angel Came Down," "An Angel Returned," "The Lost Christmas Eve," and "What is Christmas?" But the most epic vocally is the chorus from their version of "What Child Is This?"
First time I saw this video, I remember thinking “these mofos are ripping off Savatage”. Then I saw who was involved with TSO and was happy they’re all making money. I was working in a record store when this song was on the Savatage album Dead Winter Dead. We had all the sold people coming in to buy it. I kept stressing that the record is way different than this one sone. Everyone still bought it.
Now you have 25 years of catching ip to do....or treat yourself to one of their fill concerts on youtube....nov.2022 is the latest I believe... Happy Holidays!
Actually Rafael, I found one from 11-21-23 In Salt Lake City. But it pays to check around...some look professional, and some are a single cellphone from row 222.

Seventh Day slumber, we are the broken. A good group and a good song.
It's not Christmas until this has been played. I play it over and over
This and "Heavy Metal Christmas" by Twisted Sister
I play this all year
All the time.
Agree 💯

Sabotage? 🤣🤣🤣 F***ing auto correction...👍🤘
TSO in concert is an experience. I've seen them in concert each of the past 15 or so years. A must see!
Yes, they do kick glute instrumentals, but they also have some fabulous vocal performances as well, and they are not just Christmas, they have a wonderful prog rock show with the theme of Beethoven's Last Night.
For me it's when they do the Savatage deep cuts like Believe, Chance, etc. Especially the layered vocal ones like Chance.
Sorry I missed this live. TSO is one of the best things that's ever happened to music.
I have seen TSO live and its an experience. Auditory and visual treat.
🎄
Their live performances are amazing. I got tickets last year for my sweetheart and me to see them and thoroughly enjoyed the entire concert.
Maggie, If you ever get the chance to see them, do it. They make operatic rock!
Beautiful. The kitten. The girl. The music.
Criss Oliva was a masterful guitarist and his brother was a really good vocalist. I would take a look at Hall of the Mountain King, The Unholy, or When the Crowds are Gone.
Having attended three TSO Concerts in the past, I must say their performance has never been anything other than magnificent.
Awesome channel, enjoying your energy and humor. Thank you for sharing with us.
This is a show that must be experienced live - I have seen TSO about a half-dozen times live and it is more and more amazing each time!
I'm not big on Christmas music, but this one is an annual must hear. Always great to see you react to the great songs.
I've always said about TSO "It took a bunch of heathens to capture the true spirit of Christmas!" From the first note of their first album I was hooked!
So very true❤
You MUST react to Christmas Canon by T.S.O. It's so beautiful. ❤

Which of the two orchestras?
@@nickbachman663 West coast
That's certainly one of my favorites
Unexpectedly brilliant, full of Christmas joy.
This is a good one! Good choice Kent. Good reaction Maggie. 🎄
I saw them in concert a few weeks ago. THEY'RE AMAZING!!!
Watch a live version...and you will be amazed...The live show by TSO is something to be witnessed....seen them like 12 times I think.
I so love music like this.
I sent this to you as well-the girl is so cute--wonder if she has dance as she stands like one-also like towards the end the music is like following the girls running.watched this many time-so sweet...
saw them for the first time last year. they played this twice
Having seen TSO, the show was fantastic!!!!!

I’m glad to see someone finally reacting to TSO. They make such beautiful music. Thanks again Maggie Renee.
Powerful music everyone should hear.
This is a rocking version of a classic song, but I would use this version to retell a story that happened in my home county nearly a century ago.
I love this one and Wizard of Winter I think it is
Have seen this group in concert a number of times. It's not just the music but the light show they put on during the live show. If you have never seen one of their concerts please do yourself a favor and see at least one.
Favorite 🎄song ever.
Love TSO! It's a Christmas must! ✨️🎄 🥰✨️Awesomeness reaction, Maggie!
THANK YOU!!! ✨️🎄 🥰✨️

Savatage was awesome! Dead Winter Dead. Rock on!

Trans Siberian always my favorite classical christmas music! I love them❤
Magnificent.

Savatage is a band worth listening to. Interesting vocals. Try Gutter Ballet & Hall of the Mountain King to start.
Yes Savatage is an awesome band and I would do Hall of the Mountain King as well.
Streets is also a great concept album. Jon has said that he's releasing a final Savatage album in 2024, with music written by Criss.
Don´t know why everybody always recommends "Hall of the mountain king", i personally think it´s not one of the best Savatage songs, Gutter ballet, on the other hand, i agree.

React to some Savatage . . . Hall of the Mountain King w/ Prelude to Madness . . . Or Gutter Ballet . . . They have an incredible Library
Hall of the Mountain King is one of my favorite songs ever.
Great music, adorable video what more could we ask for at Christmas? Great job Maggie!
I enjoy watching you light up when you react ma'am

TSO is amazing.
Never knew they were trans. Very cool!
l has their christmas trilogy l had the cds and imported them to my itunes library l also has the dvd that this video be from

May I recommend Lzzy Hale singing Forget About The Blame with TSO?
First time I saw this video, I remember thinking “these mofos are ripping off Savatage”. Then I saw who was involved with TSO and was happy they’re all making money.

Great! They have another great song: what is eternal, plz check it out:-)
