Is ANY of TSO actually live?

[MisterSinister]

In an era where so much of “live performance” is “in the box”, how much if any of the Trans Siberian Orchestra show is performed live on stage?

The vocals are live, I hope.

Saw them years ago. Front row. It was LIVE. Not sure if that’s still the case.

Hoekstra is def live.

I think the only outright fakery is the flute intro of the big hit

Caught TSO yesterday out in Riverside. Great show, they changed it up a bit, it seemed heavier this year to me. No lip syncing was detected, some sweetener was added from the almost offstage keyboard player I suspect. The level of musicianship in this band is stellar, anyone of them could easily land a Broadway gig. Blas Elias is a drum god!

TSO seems like a dream gig to me. Tour 6 weeks out of the year, pull in huge cash. Win-Win!!
