Amazing

3 years in a row this was a family tradition

This has to be Al’s best performance of this song, this performance is truly special. You can really see the passion in his face, he’s totally in tune with his guitar and the part at the end is just phenomenal. Al makes his guitar sing and it’s beautiful. The best TSO performance of this song I’ve seen. I always come back to this video each year. TSO really is a one of a kind experience-every year is amazing.

I listen to TSO anytime of the year all year long and then some. Lol they are so talented

If you've never seen TSO and you're also a Christmas person- who says "Merry Christmas" and not "Enjoy your holiday"... you need to see TSO. It'll make your season, same as a theatre production of "A Christmas Carol" can do. It puts me in the mood, and brings me joy.

I'm not sure any one has said Christmas is dead and insignificant (though I agree with Snooby66), but all religions are on a downward trend as a whole thanks to the Internet and higher level of education and information to the masses. Soon we will be celebrating the actual change of the season rather than mythical supernatural stories. I saw TSO last night and a black family behind me was sort of enjoying the show (not sure they liked the heavy metal sound). Then the big dragon eye came out (2nd half of the show) and TSO started to play other music. I could hear concerned comments from the father, "what is this?" and "no no no". The family promptly left. Obviously a confused family which thought they were getting a religious concert.

@jsshay01

Mike Wazowski Not sure where you’re coming from. All religion is definitely not dead! For music, there are so many really good Christian bands out there. I grew up on 60’s music and went to different concerts; J. Geils Band, U2, Prince, The Rolling Stones among them. U2 has been known as Christian from their beginning. Alice Cooper is a Christian, as is Justin Bieber(he has a following), the group P.O.D. and Brian Welch with Korn, to name a few. Christians and Christianity may be ignored, unreported and misrepresented but dead? Not a chance. When you start to look, you’ll find this. Committed Christians are everywhere and in every profession, including music. And, I hope you’ve had a good Christmas!

The more videos that I watch of them.I can not put into words how great they are.

Just seen them last night in Phoenix. What an amazing new show to experience! This is not a concert..This is a story shared through amazingly talented music ROCK ON TSO!

3 years late. Christmas is a pagan holiday and it is not his birthday. Jesus was most likely born in either September, October, or November. It says specifically in the Bible not to decorate your tree with gold and silver because that is how pagans would decorate their trees in honor of their god Molach, which they sacrificed live babies to. I still celebrate Christmas but I make sure it's in Jesus' name.

You've totally missed the point, haven't you? The date is irrelevant. December 25 is as good as any other day, regardless of the reason. If you're truly celebrating Christmas in His name, then you're not worrying about the nit-picky stuff like the date.

While you are thinking about it, think to yourself if you can play his hardest solo (matter of opinion, so I won't give you what solo to think of). If you can play it perfectly, or even jam with it a bit, then you have the right to say that he is mediocre. If not, say he is a good guitarist, but not your favorite. I play the guitar, and I know the hard work it takes. If you do, you will understand, if not, you won't, and not realize that songs may be harder than they seem.

Trans Siberia Orchestra, I keep going back to this song because it reels me in. In my mind, i play the drums to it.

AL PITRELLI. MORE OF THIS PLEASE!! PEOPLE SHOULD RECOGNIZE THE TALENT OF PLAYING GUITAR WITH ONE HAND SOMETIMES LIKE THIS GUY DOES. The SEBASTIAN BACH OF METAL!! A MUSICAL GENIUS.

Al Pitrelli first came to my notice when i bought Dead winter Dead in the early 90's. His guitar playing made me tingle back then and it still does now. He is supreme in his art. There is very few guitarists out there than can make my hairs go up and catch my breath like Al can. That is why he's my favourite guitarist of all time.
