    I saw them open for Elton John at SPAC (Saratoga Springs, NY) a few years ago and they were simply amazing. The played a whole bunch of rock songs on cello, including another AC/DC song, and their energy was palpable. They had the crowd rocking from the start. I'd love to see a complete show of theirs.

    Awesome stuff right there...I thought for sure they'd run out of bow before they were done.

    The look on the audience faces was priceless. Reminded me of Marty McFly rocking Johnny Be Good.

    Pretty cool

    That's a shame as classical musicians they should have known better, but thanks for the heads up.

    I would have preferred a live recording, but impressive non-the-less.

    They should have finished by having all the women in the audience throwing their pantaloons up on stage.
