Mannheim Steamroller Christmas concert this season?

I took one of my daughters November 19th to see them at the Murat Centre in Indianapolis. I was surprised to find out that Chip Davis was not there. He has recently had back or neck surgery. He would have been proud as the concert still sounded great.

never seen Mannheim, but I went to Trans Siberian Orchistra last Fri, they were fantastic. I would highly recommend seeing them.

I wondered how long it would take for someone to mention the Trans Siberian Orchestra! They will be in town at Conseco Fieldhouse December 23rd. I would eventually like to see them but I can't justify it with the wife...or with myself for that matter...at least not this year. Kinda think the crowd will be just a little bit different...

Mannheim concerts have become sort of a tradition with me. I have seen them 5 out of the last 7 years.

Chip Davis is from Omaha and has stayed here in Nebraska City a few times at our Conference Center.

The show is very family oriented. I took my wife, my teen age son, my monther, and an employee. The audiance ranged from about 6 or 7 years old well into the 60's or even 70's. I got the cheap seats for $25 each and actually had a better view of parts of the show than the high dollar seats.

The show was a little boring at first, but the second half was excellent

Funny you thought that! I saw them for the first time a few weeks ago and felt about the same. The music, lights, effects, were awesome. The "story", in my opinion, was a little weak....especially the "narrator's" lame rhyming. I also enjoyed the second act more except that I had already been sitting in my seat for almost 3 hours and was ready for it to just be over! *LOL* If you took the almost 3 hour show and cut it to 2 hours it would be perfect.

we were just talking about those two groups and how we should go to see them.. a different experience but still captures the season and down to earth in a heavenly sort of way I hope all of us have a chance to see them. Don't you get artistic ideas while at good concerts? I do!!
