Music Monday, part 2

So on Thursday we ventured out to

To see

We saw their show in 2012 and I was amazed.

Last time

It’s not just a concert, seeing TSO is an experience!

But first you have to get there …

The venue is easy to get to … right off the Cross Island Parkway, on the border of the borough of Queens and Nassau County, next door to Belmont Park. A truly remarkable, modern arena. With a huge parking problem …

Which becomes an issue if you have to park in Emerald Parking, north of the racetrack, for an event at the arena, south of the track. We took a shuttle bus from the parking lot, but walked back to the car after the show — it’s a 20 minute walk.

And since it was so cold, rather than wait outside for the doors to open, we opted to grab a bite to eat in Belmont Hall.

The show was sponsored by Q 104, which is NYC’s classic rock station. A portion of the proceeds were donated to God’s Love We Deliver.

TSO doesn’t just play music, they perform rock operas, they tell stories and provide spectacle.
