I had to cancel my Artmore reservation, in case anyone needs a room. Steve in Philly

I have an extra booking at the Artmore that I'll be canceling today. Heads Up if you need a room there. It's for an executive King room. Steve in Philly

Great tour kick off in Philly last night. The band sounded tight, and Allen was amazing - might have been the best I've seen him live. It was a fun show. My only complaint - four songs from 'Paradise Lost' and none from what I consider their best album - "New Mythology". I suppose that...

Check flights now, everyone. My Kayak alert came through, and flights out of Philly in Sept are now $204 R/T (they were $343 yesterday). Check it out! Steve in Philly

Midnight's set during the showcase made me think of all the iconic ProgPowerUSA moments there have been over the years. I'm not talking about the cool thing that happened in your hotel room, or how you hung with band members from fill-in-the-blank, or when your friend got really drunk and did...

Some quick thoughts on the Metal Masters kickoff tour in Camden, NJ. Sorry, but I didn't take a set list for the first two. I was being lazy for Testament, and have trouble ID'ing all the Motorhead songs. Testament - a heavy opener. They sounded good. I like the new album, and they got only...

Iron Maiden in Philly (well, in Camden, NJ, which is pretty much a suburb of Philly). This was the same show as earlier this year in the Meadowlands, and they were just as sharp. These guys must have found a youth potion somewhere. Dickinson is still one of the best vocalists out there, and...

I realized that, with the popularity of the Now Reading thread, a lot of folks might like to know about the Paperback swap site http://www.paperbackswap.com In case you haven't heard of it, it's a place to swap books. I've been using it for a few months now and I'm really impressed. Best of...

This may be presumptious of me, but would you want to see another All Star Jam at a future ProgPower? I know it was a ton of work and coordination, but I was floored by it. As I suspected, it epitomized the true spirit of ProgPower. To me, it was a special performance that you can't get...

I just listened to . . . And Justice For All and it of course finishes with 'Dyers Eve', one of my all time favorite Metallica songs. How can a band make a song this heavy and this good, and then later release St Anger? There are too many bands living off of their faded glory <cough>...

Hey Folks - I wasn't planning to go to the Wed PP gathering, and there was only one thing that could have made me change my flights - A Jon Oliva concert. Well, I clicked as soon as they were announced and it still sold out :mad: If ANYONE is selling a ticket, please PM me. I'll be gone...

BG was in Philly last night. At PPIII, I was underwhelmed with Hansi's voice and stage presence. I thought he sounded great during the slow songs, but was overpowered on the heavy songs. Last night in Philly he made up for it. For an hour and 40 minutes, BG played a great set and Hansi was...

Anyone else from the boards going to be at the Trocadero on Dec 2nd? Steve in Philly

(copied from the ProgPower board) Just home from the show: * The set list was exactly the same as Hartford - the entire new album, plus 5 older songs. * The band put on a heck of a show - they are still Maiden, after all. * The new album is great, but there was...

Just home from the show: * The set list was exactly the same as Hartford - the entire new album, plus 5 older songs. * The band put on a heck of a show - they are still Maiden, after all. * The new album is great, but there was definitely a lull halfway through. People were enjoying it...

I'll be going to the show in NJ on Saturday I found out that last night's CT setlist was: http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/bla...wsitemID=59770 01. Different World 02. These Colours Don't Run 03. Brighter Than a Thousand Suns 04. Pilgrim 05. Longest Day 06. Out of the Shadows 07...

I want to know who you felt was the best vocalist of PP VII. Understand: This doesn't mean your favorite vocalist This doesn't mean the one that sings you favorite songs This doesn't mean the nicest one or the one that signed your shirtI want to know who, in your opinion, had the overall...

Every year, I offer a few of my impressions of ProgPower. Let me begin at the end. The crew presented Glenn Harveston with a prestigious award, and gave a short speech that really nailed this festival. This is a pilgrimage for so many people, and it is as much about the people as it is the...

In case you don't recall, Jen (Tarathur on the boards) was the karaoke singer last year that stunned us all with her "better than Geoff Tate" Queensryche vocals. In case you forgot, the thread can be found here http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=209300&highlight=Krone Jen...
