Mannheim Steamroller

As an early Christmas gift, we got tickets for the Mannheim Steamroller concert on December 12. The concert was in the city, so we left a little early and walked around Union Square and enjoyed the Christmas lights and music. (Not to mention, crowds too!)

I love going into the city. I don't think I would do very well living there- with the crowds, crazy driving, and fast-paced everything, but it sure is fun to visit for a night!

The concert was in the Golden Gate Theatre, which is architecturally similar to the Orpheum Theatre where we saw Wicked back in April. We snapped a couple shots while we were waiting... before we found out that was a no-no. Whoops. The lighting did wierd things to our pictures, so this was the best we got:


The concert was awesome! It was their Christmas concert, which happens to be the #1 Christmas tour in America. They play songs from each of their albums over the past 25 years. All the songs were great, but my favorites were 'God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman' 'Good King Wenceslas' and 'Deck the Halls'. Brad's was the song they played while video of a medieval man galloping through the forest on his horse played on a screen that covered the entire stage... you think I'm kidding, but I'm not. It actually was a really cool song.

Merry early Christmas to us!

Great pictures, and what a special night for both of you. Is the rumor true that Jerry Sloan was in attendance as well? (ha, ha).
