    When I was in high school, me and the rest of the Orchestra (I used the Cello) played this during our Christmas concert. One of our guys had an electric guitar and other band equipment, allowing us to play it exactly like the Trans-Siberian version.
    I swear every single one of us - though we did not speak of it; we just felt it- could feel the high paced emotion flying through as we played this. No pun intended, it was something magical. I wish we could do it all over again.

    Carson Williams from Mason, OH originally did this amazing display of lights. The music was broadcast over a low FM frequency for nearby radios to pickup the audio. And like others have said, It is absolutely amazing that it is the official video for the song.

    • @GrumpyOldFart2
      @GrumpyOldFart2 8 місяців тому

      I think they refilmed it with a newer light display because a lot of the colors are different. But it’s definitely the same house. Edit: According to Wikipedia, TSO digitally remastered the original.

      There was one in my town that was massive. They waited all year to do it, and it was fantastic. Their property was a quarter of the block, and it was completely decked out, they even had a blown old penguin choir. I loved it. They haven’t done it for some years, and I miss it dearly.
      The only recorded footage is at the tail end of it. It’s called “Candycane Corner”, and it’s grainy footage from 12 years ago. They replaced the snow globe with the penguin choir, the snow globe was before my time.

    Carson and I worked together in the 1990s. Very talented programmer/analyst. I found out fairly quickly after this video was first posted that he had programmed a lighting sequencer rig to do this (the local news in Cincinnati reported the story). I think this was his first major accomplishment at this, and it found its way to a beer commercial, and then got adopted by TSO as an official video for the song. He got work programming similar rigs for drive-through Christmas light displays in public parks after that. I wonder what he's up to these days...

I went and looked this up on Wikipedia, and sure enough, this was recorded in Mason, Ohio! Your friend Carson has a Wikipedia page too; he seems to be doing well, and even got contracted by the Denver airport to run a show like this for them on a commercial scale! Wonder if he'd be willing to do something like this for the Cincy Zoo's Festival of Lights...

    What made this one so much more successful than all of the others that followed it is that he gradually revealed each element in this display as the song progressed. First the "Holiday" sign and the candy canes, then the little trees, the the wreaths, then the big tree, then the surrounding lights. They're all there, but you don't see them until the song progresses more and... "Oh, there's another thing. Oh, there's another one!" Many of the "imitators" failed to realize the beauty of the gradual reveal and put ALL of their lights on display ALL at once, and then just had them blink in time to the music.

    • @ElFreakinCid
      @ElFreakinCid 4 роки тому +51

      The gradual reveal also makes the ending all the more special, where the whole house is illuminated by every light coming on at once as the song crescendos. Carson Williams put so much thought, time and hard work into this show, and no one has been able to perfectly replicate it since.

    My dad has a 2 thousand dollar light setup that he used to do something like this every christmas, has a whole radio transmitter to play a bunch of custom coded light displays to play with songs. And best of all, this song. It is what got me into my current hobby and dream field to work in, electronics. It’s such a fond memory of mine and i always thought it was so cool, we used to have people come by for a couple minutes and just sit and watch in their cars. If i can find a video of it i’ll post it here, but it’s probably on an old hard drive

    So good to see it again, its been quite a few years, and thankfully and quite unexpectedly, the love of my life emailed me the link to this. Love it! Happy Christmas all.
