TSO in 2022

[groo1322]

I'm disappointed that the 2022 Tour seems to be another 'Best Of'.  I didnt attend the tour last year either as the show has gotten stale.  (I've been to many TSO shows in the past including the first ever shows at the Tower Theater in Philadelphia).
Surprised no one else feels this way.

I think they count on people being just so darn excited for their tour, no matter what.  Stale? Musically for sure.  But with no new tunes, and no prospect of new tunes, the only surprise is what sorta effects will there be.  Its still a heck of a production for sure, but stale. I may skip this year also.

I agree on the stale part...as for this season I am finally on the very front row for the show in Raleigh, NC. I have always wanted to sit front row, but my wife really hates concerts and yet because of her love for me she always has been by my side. She is skipping this year (the love is still there) so I was able to get front row for one seat at the fan club pre-sale. This may be my last time if they do not change some things, great show but I have every CD or digital thing TSO/Savatage has put out. Sitting almost middle stage very first row has been a desire of mine since my first attendance in 2004...I'm sure its going to be an experience.

We've sat on the front row a few times over the last several years and it is a wonderful experience. You see more of the artists interacting with each other and making eye contact with you. I managed to select front row near-center tickets this year but when checking out I just could not make myself pay the $40+ fees to Ticketmaster and decided to spend my $246 dollars (plus travel expenses on a 3+ hour trip) elsewhere this year. I hate missing it but I had to draw a line somewhere and since I've already had the experience a few times this year was the year to draw it for me.

Hope your show is as awesome as they always are. Enjoy.
