Al Pitrelli of TSO West tearing up the guitar with "Faith Noel" from TSO's album and new Winter Tour 'The Lost Christmas Eve'. Portland Oregon, November 25, 2012 at the Rose Garden Arena
Quite the Showman, Mr Pitrelli, I played this a couple times at church, went over very well, your sustain goes on forever, fantastic rig, God Bless. I think I will go out on my back porch, [in Fla] play it to the neighbors.
Really good, but I prefer Joel Hoekstra. He plays with a passion and seems to enjoy it and puts show and doesn’t just go though the motions. Still a great player though.
Hansmeister Schulz-- Right?? It's the Year, 2021, and Christmas, Has Yet to happen, and there's NO Time, like the Present, to Worship the Lord Jesus, IN November...🙏🙏😉👼😇👼😇👼😇👼😇🙏🙏🙏😉
Al Pitrelli is so underrated...the guy played with Savatage, Widowmaker, Megadeth and Asia ( among others)..he has attitude, licks, technique, stage presence..amazing.
I am so amazed of the level professionalism these artists have We are so lucky to 😢 able to here such melodies that come from out hevens!!! So forfilling !!
This guy is the best damn guitar player I've ever seen in person. I've tried my hardest to play like him but he makes it look so easy it's unreal! Al... your awesome brother!
Cant wait to go to the live concert of TSP in a couple of weeks. December 11th at Greensboro NC. love TSO. Gets you in the Christmas spirit!! Merry Christmas and remember the real reason for the season!!
Thanks for your great work Stacey. Saw TSO for the 1st time in Tulsa (same tour) with my new bride, a looong time fan, and was blown away...and I'm a an old rocker from the 60's/70's.
got my tickets in the mail today!!! saw tso east for the first time in greenville s.c. with my daughter and her family and am now looking forward to seeing tso west for the 4th time . they make my christmas season complete . thanks for the great videos !!!
Mr Al Pitrelli!! SUCH AN UNDERRATED MUSICIAN. I CAN LISTEN TO HIS GUITAR 24/7 AND EVERYTIME IT JUST GETS BETTER!!!! HE'S THE PAUL MCCARTNEY OF METAL. ROCK ROYALTY.
U guys r incredible, , outstanding. U cant lose with this front man Al. I admire it thinking. Why does ur music sound so fantastic?? I know. It's so unbelievable. Love u guys. Keep up the phenomenal work
Thanks Al! You are incredible! I took the family to see you last night in Ontario Ca. We had a great time and the show was as good as it gets! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
For all you up and coming guitarists; notice how when he's playing below the 12th fret, he is on the bridge pickup, and changes to the neck pickup about the 12th fret. That gives a nice "singing" sound, and not brittle. I learned this trick over 20 years ago from Steve Morse (formerly Dixie Dregs, currently Deep Purple). It's not really a trick, but a nice tool to use.
Very nice video work. You were certainly able to zoom in nice and close. I would have thought they would not allow such a big camera into the show--they must not be as strict as some artists about photography of their concerts. I was at the same show in Portland, but not nearly as close. Fantastic concert--I'm already looking forward to next year!
It's funny; the keyboardist (as an FL user myself) seemingly uses the default preset for FL Keys, and STILL THIS SONG IS SO EPIC AND AWESOME. It also happens to mean a lot to me. :)
I'm sorry Mary but if you listen to both their vibrates , Chris being a self taught street player has a much better technique and tone. Yes Al is a fine player but he'd probably agree with me. We all have our strengths but the band being Al's band, he calls the shots on who plays with them. Chris is a fabulous guitarist with natural ability. Al is a better composer for certain. But pound for pound, Chis has a significant edge. That's all I was saying. I've been a professional guitarist for 47 years and my ear tells me a lot about technique and vibrato.
Maybe u r one who lack theory tats y u r suportin tat other guitarist well alpetrili is god he cn do all the technique u r sayin if u don bliv jus watch megadeth featurin alpetri all the technique is there
Trans-siberian orchestra this my favorite Christmas song iam a big fan of yours my friends your awesome ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊

Watching and hearing Al Pitrelli's amazing guitar playing gives me chills! Love it!!
I absolutely agree ....he is the best.
Ya he is bestest
Really good, but I prefer Joel Hoekstra. He plays with a passion and seems to enjoy it and puts show and doesn’t just go though the motions. Still a great player though.
me too!
WOW
Hearing Emerson's Moog growling a drone in the background makes this song complete. R.I.P. Keith Emerson.
Thanks for posting! Christmas is over yet still puts one in the mood to Worship the Lord Jesus! Merry Christ mas in January!
Hansmeister Schulz--
Right??
It's the Year, 2021, and Christmas, Has Yet to happen, and there's NO Time, like the Present, to Worship the Lord Jesus, IN November...🙏🙏😉👼😇👼😇👼😇👼😇🙏🙏🙏😉
Thrills my soul!
Most likely the finest guitar player and front man I have ever watched!! Can’t get enough of Als performance and tenacity
Al Pitrelli is so underrated...the guy played with Savatage, Widowmaker, Megadeth and Asia ( among others)..he has attitude, licks, technique, stage presence..amazing.

Greatness of Les Paul
What a great finger works
May God Bless who have got to see and enjoy
"Oh come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord."
This guy is the best damn guitar player I've ever seen in person. I've tried my hardest to play like him but he makes it look so easy it's unreal! Al... your awesome brother!

Thanks for your great work Stacey. Saw TSO for the 1st time in Tulsa (same tour) with my new bride, a looong time fan, and was blown away...and I'm a an old rocker from the 60's/70's.
when and if TSO decides to film a live show... they just need to call you... amazing quality.
A highly talented musician, Ace guitarist, simple man and criminally underrated guitarist.

Yep, the West Troupe pianist's are still Jane and Vitalij - they're both incredible! :)
Al can look at a guitar and make it play amazing!
BRILLIANT !

Awe inspiring...
Amin. Jesus....I love You
Awesome
🙏
awesome
Anyone see TSO lately like Dec 2021?
Awesome!
awesome..👍
could you please send me the Backing track of this song..
It's funny; the keyboardist (as an FL user myself) seemingly uses the default preset for FL Keys, and STILL THIS SONG IS SO EPIC AND AWESOME. It also happens to mean a lot to me. :)
The East group (Chris Caffrey, Joel Hoekstra, Georgia Napolitano, et al) had spoiled me!!
I was there.
I've used my Canon PowerShot SX20 for all my videos, with exception of my video of Tommy Farese singing 'Ornament' from, I think, the '09 Winter Tour.
I didn't know Yamaha Motif XS series had Fl sets lol, I have a MOX8 based 100% off of the Yamaha Motif XS.
Brilliant indeed!
Way to go Al
Where can i find the backing track….kindly help
around 1:50 it sounds exactly like the theme from super smash bros!!
If anyone can find cello sheet music for this plz send it to me
Stacey gets great vids!!
he is good with that gibson lespaul but who did he play with before that
first noel!
Singing Gibson guitar. Awesomazing
I am dying to find out what he uses to make that guitar whale. That's what I have been missing.
both pitrelli and marty sound same n have same mega background isnt it weird?
What do you record with? The sound and video quality is amazing for sitting in the stands!
I Love TSO, I wish they would use real drums instead of the electronic stuff they use. Looks better and sounds better
You sure are dummies. They do use real 🥁.
Uhh…. They do. I’ve seen them twice and it’s a real drum set every time
Stacy, did you get the whole concert on film? if so i want a copy of it.
I'm sorry Mary but if you listen to both their vibrates , Chris being a self taught street player has a much better technique and tone. Yes Al is a fine player but he'd probably agree with me.

Maybe u r one who lack theory tats y u r suportin tat other guitarist well alpetrili is god he cn do all the technique u r sayin if u don bliv jus watch megadeth featurin alpetri all the technique is there
No, they aren't together anymore.
Isn't Al pitrelli and Jane Mangini married still?
Anyone in 2023
It’s the year 2024 and then next month it’s going to be the year 2025. And I will play this song for as long as I live.
Sounds like an anthem.America anthem lolzZz!!!
He's not half as good as Chris Carrerty
they are both good in their own right.
