The wife and I went to see them in concert tonight. There are only a couple of members from the original group that started the Christmas theme 25 years ago...even Chip Davis is missing from the live performances due to back problems...but they are still pretty awesome. It was a great show and a very nice way to start the Christmas season. I highly recommend going to see them if they are at a venue near you.

    I saw them in DC about 20 years ago. The high point of the concert was when they lowered the cricket cage from the ceiling to play with the musicians. Cracked me up.

    Saw them in 2006 in Florida at the Kennedy Space Center. They were performing with the video (and SOUND) of shuttle Atlantis launch in the background. It was awesome!!!
