I might even go again next year - although one concert every 40 years
or so seems enough for me.

It's a great show - highly recommend it.

I finally got a chance to see them live a couple of weeks ago when
they were here. Our seats were on the floor, almost center 16th row,
so we could see the band and rigging very well, but I was wishing
that
we were back 2/3 of the way or more so we could really get a better
overall view of the light show.


Cool show to go see if you haven't already. It's funny seeing all
the
people that obviously think they are coming to see a Christmas
"orchestra", having only heard a couple of their songs on mainstream
radio. They are a rock band. Pretty smokin' in most songs, just
different. Think ELO on Christmas acid.

Umm... where are my lobsters, Tom? Welching on the bet?

You almost have to sit way back just to get a feel for the light show.
It's amazing.

Where did they play? In Columbia?

At the Colonial Center in Columbia. It's one of the the local venues
for concerts and USC basketball.
