If you've never gone, you're missing out! One of the best shows I've ever experienced!

Light show was insane, the mix was crisp, so clear, just amazing. Jeff Scott Soto shined in his appearances, the female singers were simply incredible. Just beautiful voices, that even choked me up at times, such a memorable show. 2-1/2 hours, and they even threw in a couple Savatage tunes!

Al Pitrelli was on fire, and pure magic, as well. What an amazing player. Yes, I've used amazing several times, but it was. GO. You'll be blown away!
 
I saw them in ATL about 2 weeks ago and they were so awesome. Chris Cafferty and Joel Hoekstra are such a great guitar duo! Singers, band, and performance are so stellar with the most diverse fan base as kid as young as 5 to people in their 80’s. 72 year old disabled lady sitting next to me has stayed to have the band sign her book for the past 11 years.
 
Top notch show. I’ve seen multiple times with Joel Hoekstra and Alex skolnick.

I actually messaged Joel over Facebook asking him what amp he was getting for the oh holy night Solo and he said that he was using the Soldano patch on his fractal
 
It’s been a few years since I saw them, but totally agree, it’s a great show.
 
It has been a few years for me also, but yeah, great show. I saw both versions of the band.
 
I've seen them a few times, but not this time around because it was Tuesday before Thanksgiving. Did you know ahead of time which lineup you were going to see?
 
Wish I could have, but they were the night before Phil Anselmo/Ministry/Primus/Slayer at the local arena and the ears and wallet can only stomach so much in a week. Maybe next time.
 
I saw a gear rundown a few years ago. All the guitar tones are Fractal.

I was also at the Tampa show. Good stuff for sure! I see them every few years this was my third. Lights were awesome, but I liked the previous time I saw them better. The story line I enjoyed more and it was geared heavier (not that heavier is always better) but I remember liking the playing more.
 
Seen them several times. Killer show. You want to hear what a Fractal unit can really do? Check them out.
 
This thread inspired me...never have gone before, just got tickets to go next week, taking the whole family!

Did you go at 3, or the 7:30? I was at the late show. Seems like they wanted to play all night! They certainly take a lot of pride, and really enjoy it as much as the fans.

I've been to many concerts, and at times, some bands seem to just go through the motions. These guys were extremely passionate about every minute. Again, a memorable show, for sure.
 
never been...always wanted to, but whatever...anyways...

I love how older folks go, and even not-so-older folks, not realizing it's basically a metal show/metal band.

My boss lady went last year, took her husband and his folks (the hubby and his folks are kinda stuffy). They LOVED it! :lol: :LOL: "oh it was the best...show, music..." :rock:

I was at the 3pm. They kept going and it's like they didn't want to stop playing. It was great. There was definitely passion for the music through and through. Great musicians for sure. Top notch.
 
I've seen TSO twice live and we have a CD of them as well. Great show a few years back in Ontario, CA. The whole band is great, and the guitar players smoked the fretboards nicely!
