I saw them at the Sydney BDO, and thought they were absolutely amazing. Highlight of the whole festival, in my opinion. However, I'd never heard them before seeing them live (I sometimes hold off listening to albums when I know a band is touring, because I like to see them play live first if possible), so perhaps some people had some issues with the live performance versus the sound on their albums?

TSO show tonight, it was actually the first big concert I have ever been to, but it was epic. There were a lot of older people there, as well as some families and some college-aged people. One guy in front of us must have thought it was actually an orchestra, he was covering his eyes and probably plugging his ears. At the beginning, they came down on these little platforms that had been hiding in one of the set pieces, at one point between songs, Angus Clark played part of Voodoo child, and then all of the band played the intro to Kashmir, you could barely hear the first bit of Kashmir because of the cheering. At the end, they did an all-out version of Sarajevo 12/24, all of their many lights and pyrotechnics going off, I was completely blown away. Very good showmen (and women), very glad I went.

From what I can tell, they are touring two groups at once. Jon Olivia wasn't there, Alex Skolknick wasn't there, the drummer was named Jeff Plate, Al Pitrelli and his wife were there, someone named John Lee did some vocals (lots of vocalists), don't remember any other names for certain. I do remember seeing that they had two shows scheduled for the third, I was thinking that was a scheduling error at first, but I think they might be in two groups, maybe to cover a large area in the christmas season.
