I'm really surprised this doesn't have a better rating. How could anyone really give this group anything less than 8 stars? Anyone that wants to look for an excuse to play Christmas music year-round can look no further than the amazing Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Of course, this video doesn't do them justice when performing on stage because their live shows are 1,000,000 times better than what's shown in this video. Despite being a very successful live group, TSO is still very underrated. Heck, it took a guy in Ohio rigging his Christmas lights to flash to the tune of "Wizards In Winter" for TSO to really get recognized. With the collective efforts of Paul O'Neill, Jon Oliva, and Bob Kinkel, TSO has blossomed into a group that is in such high demand that they need 2 separate tour groups to cover the entire country in a matter of a little over 2 months. If you've never seen TSO live before, I strongly recommend that you do. You get more than your money's worth.

A great way to spend 45 minutes enjoying a most unique and moving collage of Christmas music performed like none other. This all too short collection of Christmas music surrounds moves heart and soul and reminds everyone what Christmas is all about. Allie Sheridan as the Runaway, whose eyes and smiles takes takes us back to our childhood dreams and Ossie Davis as The Caretaker shows us that anything is possible. TSO brings it all together and leaves the viewer wanting more. Do yourself, your friends and family a favor; turn off the cells, kick back, crank up the volume and dim the lights. As a gift, your friends will treasure it for a long time. This is on the shelf along side with Wizard of Oz, A Christmas Carol, and Miracle on 24th St.

I'm a rather recent fan of TSO; what got my attention was the Christmas video being emailed around with house lights & "Wizards In Winter" as the sound track. My only complaints about this video are that 1)there isn't more music, & 2)it doesn't show more of the musicians performing. I LOVE watching Al Pitrelli play guitar, he's awesome! I've got all of Savatage's CDs, save 2, & Jon Oliva's "Tage Mahal", as well as all of TSO's CDs. The performances by the guest artists are wonderful, and the video contains a song that isn't on any of the TSO CDs. I've already purchased my tickets for their concert here coming Nov. 10, and can't wait!

Trasn-Siberian Orcestra is a world-famous band/orchestra. With "The Ghosts of Christmas Eve," the band brings a piece of their live performance to your TV. It revolves around a girl who has run away from home to find shelter in an old theater, and is entertained by the "ghosts" there. It not only has the band, but it has Michael Crawford and Jewel among other as performers, and Ossie Davis as the caretaker of the theater.While this is a good movie, seeing the band live in concert is far better. This year, look them up when they go onto their next tour. You will be glad you do!
