Trans Siberian Orchestra and WHO?

So I went to see Trans Siberian Orchestra at the Nassau Coliseum this evening, or I guess it would be yesterday by now. Great show! I had tickets in the 10th row from the stage on the left hand side. Since they have either 2 or 3 bands traveling at once, I had no idea which musicians I would get to see or at least any of the ones from the albums.
Lucky me! The founders and most of the recorded band were in attendance. Perhaps it was because so many of them are from Long Island or could it be something else....
After about 2 hours of playing, the founder Paul O'Neill comes out on stage and mentions that they have new album coming out in 08, and that he promised everyone that this night's show would be one to never forget. I'm thinking to myself, well, they have been playing 2 hours already and they have maybe 3 songs left so would could be so special...
When the band starts playing again, a huge security detail goes rushing by me on the floor and disappears under the stage. After two songs, Paul O'Neill comes back out on stage to introduce ROGER DALTREY.
They play Behind Blue Eyes, Pinball Wizard & another song that I cant remember the name of and then Roger helps TSO finish up with Christmas Eve in Sarajevo playing guitar.
The man sounded great and he appears to have taken care of himself as he looks much better than most rockers from the 60s & 70s. I guess TSOs founder was right, I wont soon forget and it and I never thought I would ever see any member from The Who play live.

He's not touring with them, I guess he just happened to be in town -
Oh well. **** happens. Not that they aren't worth seeing on their own merit, but it still would have been sweet.:-)I refuse to argue with idiots, because people can't tell the DIFFERENCE!

I didn't know the TSO has a DVD, can you point me to the amazon link? I just looked but my work machine limits me...thanks.

You should be able to pick it up at BestBuy, C.C., any music store. It is in 5.1 dolby (if you have 5.1) The name of the DVD is "The Ghosts of Christmas Eve".
I don't use Amazon, so I don't know how to utilize their search.
Happy huntingI refuse to argue with idiots, because people can't tell the DIFFERENCE! -
thanks obieone, I'll pick it up in the morning. I love the TSO.
