What is Trans-Siberian Orchestra's music selection for this year's tour? Is it from a particular album? Or:

is it a compilation from all their work. I'm trying to decide if I should see them in Chicago this year. But I would like to see a different show from last year.

I believe their playlist comes from the Bizarre Vaguely Orchestral Christmas Music for people with inexplicably bad taste in holiday music. (Feel free to refute or report me. It's just how I feel.)

But, while I play James Brown's Christmas CD's for 8,000 time and sit on my high horse, I know lots of my friends will be seeing this show and loving it.

That said, here are a few reviews with setlists from 2008...

A mostly positive review with lots of set-list type notes - http://www.madison.com/wsj/home/entertainment/318369

And, here is a list of set-lists of bootlegs for the last 8 years or so for some perspective....

Asker's Rating:
• Despite our differing opinions on TSO, the number of links given for comparison of the setlist sent this answer over the top.

The music is taken from "Christmas Eve and Other Stories." They go through the entire album. I would love to go see them!

It's a compilation of current songs and past songs. No new albums or releases, just a mix of stuff from the past and present. Some songs and parts get periodic tweaks, like the addition of lead singers to Canon in D, but if you're on a tight budget and have seen the show already, you won't get your money's worth unless you love reruns.
