I saw the show about 2 years ago, and I have to agree with stoney that even though metal is not my favorite genre, with the TSO, its just amazing. I have the dvd too. Just goes to show you that any type of music can be touching if the artists are technically and emotionally dedicated, even if its not your favorite type of music. So in conclusion, i think everyone should go to the show with an open mind even if you are opposed to 80's rock ballads, because it will definitely change your opinion of them. I only wish that there was a beautiful Alembic on stage for me to stare at...
