Featured Review

Mannheim Steamroller put on a wonderful concert. There was definitely something for everyone. The common thread of the music was the impact of the "crescendo" each song contained. Creative arrangements of familiar christmas carols, as well as some songs, that while they were unfamiliar, were instantly enjoyable and memorable. An interesting departure from the standard concert structure was a multia-media presentation of midieval, "minstralesque" songs. These were performed behind a see-through, full drop-down screen. A video of a midieval feast (replete with jesters and dancers) played with the action being syncronized with the music. The creativity and enthusiasim of this production alone makes it well worth seeing. When the quality of the musianship is added, it also makes Mannheim Steamroller a "can't miss" event.

First of all, let me state that I love Mannheim Steamroller. The show was very boring. The music was exactly like the CDs which is fine, but there was virtually no interaction with the audience. They blew some snow on the lower audience a few times, but it was pretty lame. There were videos that were played above the band and they were very strange. I forced myself not to look at them so I didn't keep those images in my head and associate them with the music. Also, the drummer's one drum - I think it was a snare drum - was significantly louder than the other drums and was used consistently throughout the performance which made for a very large headache.

THE LEAD INSTRUMENTALISTS WERE FANTASTIC - EACH PLAYING 4 OR 5 INSTRUMENTS. ACOUSTICS IN THE THEATRE WERE SUPERB. CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THE DRUMMER - EVEN THOUGH THEY SHOWED PICTURES ON A BIG SCREEN BEHIND THE ORCHESTRA, WE WERE FOCUSED ON THE SKILLS OF THE LEAD DRUMMMER. ***** ONE BIG DISAPPOINMENT : WE WERE FORTUNEATE TO SEE MANNHEIM STEAMROLLER A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO AT THE GIANT CENTER IN HERSHEY, BEFORE THEY SPLIT THE GROUP APART TO DO EAST AND WEST COAST ROAD SHOWS. THEY HAVE REMOVED THE BRASS SECTION, AND WE FEEL THE SHOW LOST A LOT BECAUSE OF THAT.

This is he third consecutive year my wife and I have attended a Manheim Steamroller concert. The uniqueness of the Christmas arrangements and the talent is unbeatable. The instruments they use are unparalleled. they usually are at the tables in the lobby for autographs when you get a CD after the program.

Mannheim Steamroller is a MUST do concert. The sound is a joy and a perfect way to help celebrate the Christmas season. The light show and video productions this year were the best --most integrated, most complementary to the music-- that I've seen (but sometimes I just wanted to focus only on the music). Mannheim Steamroller never fails to delight. I thoroughly enjoyed the event!

This is what my father used to say for an average performance. I thought the music was excellent (go Chip!) and all the classics were there but the passion of the performers wasn't evident. Yes, it's hard to do it on the road night after night, but it's what we are paying for and why they are there to 'perform'. The drummer was everything that he should have been, and more. Precise, entertaining and obviously in the moment. Yay for him!

The backup video was not interesting and frequently distracting. Shapeless blobs of color reminded me of psychedelic movies from the 60's. WHen there were real winter scenes, they were rough paintings like one would see on a credit card. The Medievil fiest references were lost on me in the videos. I continuous snow/rain/ scene would have focused us back on the performance rather than 'what IS that video?" talk.

SOlid B or better.

The Mannheim Steamroller Christmas concert was even better than I had hoped for. These gifted musicians played all of the songs that I have been listening to for many years. They were a joy to watch, especially the drummer. Both my husband and I have musical backgrounds and we had a blast trying to figure out where some of the sounds were coming from and then had friendly arguments about our opinions on the way home.

The music was as good as ever, natch. But, unless the visuals and light effects were supposed to be retro and campy, they were distracting and amateurish. Sad , sad, sad.
What was with chunky animal costumed skaters photographed in near absent light? I was appalled. They need a new computer light person capable of laser works, imaging, and linking those to music.

Still, Manheim's music makes my 70 year old heart sing. I just need to hook them up with some modern tekkie fans.

Fantastic Multi-Media show! Venue was wonderful, not a bad seat in the house...
For a small venue,the sound was perfect, it was not too loud and was crystal clear.
If you haven't seen them, I highly recommend this show!
