TSO in Atlanta
- Thread starter VenomGA
- Start date
Just to be sure, while we're on the topic of East and West - I know we're on the East Coast, but Atlanta got the West Coast, so I wanted to make sure - Providence should be getting the EAST group, right?

We were three rows behind Mike and Tracy and totally enjoyed the show. 
Awesome as usual. Have made every show since 2000 except the year they skipped us...
It was great to see everybody! As Mike said, hope to see everybody again at Nightwish next Saturday!

Great show! I've seen them every year here except one (and the year they didn't come), so it's amazing to see how much the show has evolved from the old days at the Tabernacle.
It was also neet to see Dr. Killdrums there, although I didn't recognize him. Jon Oliva was going to try to attend as well -- per Glenn -- but wasn't there.
I noted a complete lack of rubber chickens, silly-string and fart noises in the band's monitors AGAIN this year.
(Mentioning that to the longtimers -- Farese, Gaynor, etc. -- at the after-show autographing is guaranteed to elicit a smile as they reminisce.)
At the autographing session, the new black vocalist noticed my PPUSA '07 tee and asked about it; when I showed him the back he got really interested. I told him the promoter had also been at the show and he said "Wow, bring him over here if he's still here!"
Final thought: there are a lot of kids in the audience nowadays (at $47 apiece on the floor, it's an expensive family outing!)...and if the TSO experience encourages just one kid to pick up an instrument and learn it -- guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, piano, violin, or his/her own voice -- then the show is even more of a success.
