As Michael Lanning stated, "What do lasers and fire and giant cranes have to do with Christmas?" I can understand that.
I understand where Michael is coming from, but we have to remember... TSO has become more than a "Christmas" act since he has been in it. So why not the lasers, lights, and fire? I can only speak for myself, but those things ARE still secondary to the music and the performers.... for me at least. I have said it before and will say it again... I can see TSO with all the bells and whistles or in a club gig. I can close or open my eyes and it is still about the music. Take the iHeart Radio show they did for instance. Sure there were a few lights, but it was the band stripped down for the most part. They still killed it.
you kind of made the point right there. they can still kill it without the huge show. it was cool as the show got a bit bigger, but its way past the point now of being there to enhance the show. give me the old theater days anytime. back when the band interacted with the crowd for real.
i have some very great memories of things they did onstage before the big show. the spontaneous things and the real band interaction. i cant say i have really any from after that. when some songs contain the same moves and antics every night theres not much there for me to get excited about.
