To go from that nice piece to banjo twanging and a weird compilation of old videos about the founding of Mannheim Steamroller was really jarring. Also the “tribute” to the creator was poorly timed after an actually nice rendition of O Holy Night. I felt bad because the musicians are clearly talented but the pairing with the visuals was truly awful and detracted from the music. The videos are old, VCR or worse quality from the 70s or 80s, containing images of dolphins, weird space images, and at times culturaL appropriation. Like all the other reviews have opined on the show would have been 10x better if they had just cut the video entirely. This show needs retooled or retired, whichever comes first. I was embarrassed just to be in the AUDIENCE.Īnd I get your friend recently passed who wrote and sang the 1970's truck driver song "Convoy" but did you really have to play the song in it's entirety as a tribute?! Such a bizarre choices in a Christmas performance. Nearly every video is of such TERRIBLE quality that I felt genuine embarrassment for the band. Random sea gulls, Soul train camera effects, clip art time lapse, solar flare footage that looks like it's from a 1980's PBS special.even seasonally appropriate stuff if done with CGI so ancient as to be laughable. It reminds me of Christmas radio as a kid, but is admittedly very cheeseball.Īt the 2022 show in OKC, the performers did a great job, but whoever does their videos is AWFUL.ĭecades old In VHS/Super 8 quality, the stage videos are bizarre and off-putting, nearly ruining the show with their confusing inclusions. Manheim Steamroller is an acquired taste. THE MUSIC WAS NICE, THE VIDEOS THEY PLAY WITH THEM ARE TERRIBLE
