Photo Gallery/Blog: Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Climate Pledge Arena Seattle 11.22.25

Has it really been 25 years since that first Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert at the Paramount Theatre? Yes it has! 12/13/00 was the TSO West 2000 tour here in Seattle and yes I was there! Having the photo proof even better!
So this TSO West 2025 tour "The Ghosts of Christmas Eve: The Best of TSO and More!" is a full new production from the stage to lights and back arena stage to setlist. Absolute must to see if you've never seen them live or to the many that have and felt the over 2hr show was feeling the same the past years. Believe me they revamped the whole production!

The stage is wider as is the amazing video wall. The groups of female and male singers had their own side platforms, the main group of musicians had many platform elevators up (nothing over the crowd like in years past), the back of arena staging area had massive fire burst as well as lasers and wild drones (yes drones) around the singer/musicians at that stage. That was a first for me, never seen drones incorporated in an indoor arena show! They also had lasers shooting from the back looking like they were burning effects in the huge video screen panels onstage. Believe me you've NEVER seen a show like this. They even had Seahawks colored flames (blue/green) mixed with the regular fire blasts. Make sure to see the photo gallery below.

There was more interaction in the crowd with certain musicians and singers throughout the show which was cool. They even had the return of the autograph table meet and greet with fans after the show! Believe me, you get your hard earned monies worth with a TSO show. This years West Coast lineup (if ya didn't know there's a whole other tour of TSO at the same time on the East Coast making this a MEGA production each year) was made up of:

Definitely my favorite show of all the tours for sure. Few of the songs I think slowed down the experience, but everyone needs a break so often from the visual and musical overload. Like I said go see this tour, it's a brand new everything this year. See you all in 2026!! Enjoy the photos below captured both by me and wife Stephanie from our seats. Thanks to our whole TSO family!!! Happy Holidays!

Remember too that TSO was born from the metal band Savatage and the members that play with TSO each year. Expect a new Savatage album in 2026 along with a summer tour! Check all that info out at: https://savatage.com
