Spectacular, Phenomenal & Astounding......,
By C. Pol "eino_79" (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Trans-Siberian Orchestra - The Ghost Of Christmas Eve (DVD)
Trans-Siberian Orchestra. One great band, one amazing concept. This DVD contains music taken from the bands first two albums. (Christmas Eve and Other Stories & The Christmas Attic.) The DVD contains a nice mix of the bands original music + a great little story intertwined to go along with it. The story is that of a run-away girl who, to escape the cold one night enters an abandoned theater. Inside she meets The Caretaker, played by Ossie Davis. While inside he introduces her to an amazing show only the likes of angels (actually the spirits and ghosts of the theater) could have performed. The show is that of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. In the act they are joined by Jewel singing "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing," and by Michael Crawford singing "O Holy Night." The Caretaker uses the imagery of the show to help the girl to change her life. Such songs as "Good King Joy," "Music Box Blues," "This Christmas Day," and "Christmas Canon" are performed to wonderful amazement. As well, on some songs the band is joined by a beautiful children's choir. Hearing them alone will bring a tear to your eye. Some complain about the length of the DVD. Sure, it may only be 46 minutes long, but it is a 46 minute adventure that is well worth it. The disc lacks in the special feature area, but there is a complete discography and a bonus track; the `Timeless Version' of "Christmas In Sarajevo." I highly recommend this DVD. The T.S.O. have done an excellent job of telling a story while showing the kind of music they produce. The tale is heart-warming, the music is emotionally intense and this is one DVD that is good any time of the year. And the best part is that you can share with others besides the ghosts on Christmas Eve.

This review is from: Trans-Siberian Orchestra - The Ghost Of Christmas Eve (DVD)
I'm not sure what I was expecting here, but I certainly wasn't disappointed. The story from "Christmas Eve and Other Stories" has been modified a bit to allow for different tracks to be used, a fact that makes this something new and different rather than just videos of the group performing their songs. The highlight for me is the incredible version of "O Holy Night" that simply takes your breath away. This DVD is full of the passion and originality that make their three cd's such extraordinary experiences, and seeing them perform reminds me of the energy of their concert that I was fortunate enough to see (highly recommended also, by the way). While I would have loved to see more music contained here, the length seems to be perfect, as it can hold you spellbound and not drag out a bit. No one here will win awards for their acting, but it isn't about the acting--it's about the music and the season. This is a great DVD to own.

Are You Kidding Me?,
By Jman (North Dallas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Trans-Siberian Orchestra - The Ghost Of Christmas Eve (DVD)
This is the best money you will spend. It sucks you in and I think hits every sense but smell. If this doesn't move you than check your pulse. Jewel should have been dressed in white as she sang like an angel sent from on high. Where are other holiday DVD's like this? The only downside is I wanted to trade in my 46" HD screen for a 60" screen before the DVD was finished playing. Simply captivating.....
