Russian Invasion


LEFT: The stage in full red glow.

For New Years, we went to see this music show called the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. It is a weird concert/light show thing, with a very mixed audience; some jesus-people, some goths, some boomers, and some trailer-people. They play a bunch of original music, and then launch into electric versions of classical music (Tchaikovsky, mozart...).

Although I didn't have high hopes going in, it was a rather cool setup actually, and the light show was spectacular. They had singers/musicians wandering throughout the audience, indoor fireworks (shades of the RI supper club inferno...), and this really hot chick all dress in vampress gear playing electric fiddle. Well worth the price of admission, and if it comes to your town, go check it out. It's an annually recurring Holiday show.

Still can't figure out what was Siberian about it though!
