A rock concert for people who don't ordinarily go to rock concerts.
Finally, finally, *FINALLY* got to go see them ~ and it was worth the wait. It was absolutely fantastic. Great songs ~ Christmas-y and otherwise. Great light and stage show, complete with lasers; racing, colored fire; big screens behind the band; moving overhead lights; hot-white spotlights; risers; musicians running through the crowd and onto *more* risers... the whole 9 yards. And the energy... top notch. Had a moment where I thought I was at 'American Idol' but it quickly passed. lol
Screaming lead guitar playing O Holy Night is forever burned into my brain. It's a happy feeling. They played several classics, but rocked them out. Anyone who loves a little cello and violin ~ okay, a LOT of cello and violin AND piano ~ in their rock and roll Christmas music will love this. The two young violinists were rocking harder than anyone, and the singers ~ simply wonderful.
There was a man with a unique, hypnotizing voice telling a story in between the songs during the first half of the performance... but it was a disjointed story and difficult to follow. A bit rambling, no clear "moral" except maybe to be generous and that help can come from strange places...? But no worries. He was lovely to listen to, and was a minor (for me) part of the show.
5 stars. May just become a Christmas staple for my family.
