Gary Hoey or Trans-Siberian Orchestra?

Officially sick of the classics.

TSO gets a little dry after awhile, Ho-Ho-Hoey is good after a few drinks (like about now:drink

Steve Lukather's SANTAMENTAL is a good one too for guitar fans!

Between the two choices, I'd pick TSO.

Maybe this is too classic for your mood, but Nat King Cole goes great for chilling with some pre-Christmas cocktails.

Love all the eighties stuff (Waitresses, Pretenders...even Geddy Lee)

Brian Setzer stuff is good for a change. Squirrel Nut Zippers in small quantities.

Some how I have never seen Gary Hoey live, even though he's from 'my neck of the woods'.
He is on my list of who I gotta go see.
Last year I did see TSO. Great BIG show. I mean big in volume, lights, fire, lasers and length of show.
First 1 1/2 hours were all Christmas tunes, took a ten or fifteen minute intermission, sort of, they were talking, etc. to the audience, then another 1 1/2 hours of remakes from several ages and genres.

If it's either/or, I guess it's big production vs. intimate settings and up close and personal. Otherwise go see both!
