Re: [vid] Wizards of Winter
Wow ! That was excellent ! Who did deal with coordination of these lights ?!
And the symphonic rock song is very good as well. I am curious of who the performers are.
Re: [vid] Wizards of Winter
Somebody had waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...
*gasps for air*
...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much time on their hands.
The music, I would definitely not want to listen to on its own, but it works with the lights. I just wish they had chosen something more worthy... say, "Echoes". That would be amazing!

i kinda liked the music, who did it do you know?

Re: [vid] Wizards of Winter
That is very cool. A funny coincidence is that my wife's uncle was just talking about this video yesterday.
The song is called Wizards in Winter by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, the same group who did Christmas Eve Sarajevo. Their song Christmas Cannon also gets a lot of air play in our area this time of year.
I'm going to see them in concert on Sunday evening. This is our third year in a row going to see them and has become a kind of new family holiday tradition. Their audience ranges from 5 years old to 75 years old judging by the concert audience. To my knowledge they only tour the US from October to December.

Whoa!
I've got that Beethoven's Last Night album. Didn't like it much. Wasn't the Christmas Eve Sarajevo song by Savatage though?Originally Posted by Gregoshi

Re: [vid] Wizards of Winter
You are right Geoffrey. That song first appeared on a Savatage album. However, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra is sort of an alter-ego of Savatage. The main guys behind TSO have connections to Savatage in various forms: founder Paul O'Neill was a producer/promoter for several Savatage albums. Robert Kinkel was keyboardist, producer and writer on several Savatage albums as well. Jon Oliva, a TSO composer, is founder and just about everything else for Savatage.
Beethoven's Last Night is just an "okay" album when you consider the music alone. What makes it and the Christmas TSO albums that much better is the powerful stories they weave around the music. We were listening to the Christmas albums last night for the first time this year (to get psyched for the concert) and I was getting choked up and tears in my eyes on some songs. Some songs are sad, but others are just beautifully happy. This Christmas Day, about a Christmas day reunion between a "lost" daughter and her father, never ceases to hit me right in the heart - the pure joy expressed in the song brings tears to my eyes. But maybe I'm just an old softy. On a quick glance and listen, they sound like a rock band (in tuxedos!!), but they don't limit their style of music. Classical, jazz, and blues also find their way into TSO's music.
One of the things that I (and the rest of the family) like about TSO is the way they blend classic Christmas songs with their own original material. To me, they capture the essence and magic of Christmas and what it should be. The lyrics paint vivid pictures for the mind's eye and the mind's heart:
In this room where shadows live
And ghosts that failed learn time forgives
Welcome, friends, please stay awhile
Our story starts with one small child
Who spends this night in attics dark
Where dreams are stored like sleeping hearts
And so it's here that they must wait
Till someone wishes them awake
For somewhere on this night of nights
She's looking to believe
Here among the ghosts on Christmas Eve

How much electricity did that guy spend?

Re: [vid] Wizards of Winter
I'm sure their neighbors are thinking they aren't paying enough for the electric.
