Put It On Your To Do List.......

How festive is she?? Mannheim Steamroller is an awesome experience live, especially in a theater setting.

I apologize for the picture quality. I was trying to do it without a flash to not cause a scene.There were six main musicians and eight in the orchestra. The sound system was nothing like I have heard before. It was so crisp and clear, you could easily pick out each instrument being played. The drum heads were mic'd so when the drummer moved from his left to right, it moved through the theater from our right to left. It was like you were in the middle of the music. The second half was very different. They showed a video on a see-through screen for much of it. It was a banquet in a castle in 1490 that took up the top 2/3's of the 50 by 30 screen and then MS was back lit in the bottom third playing renaisance Christmas music. Very entertaining. Their first encore was of course Silent Night, which is incredibly moving. The second encore was Angels We Have Heard On High which is very fast and really shows them off. Go see them whenever you can.
