Within Temptation. May never happen, but would be oh so nice. Savatage with full lineup- because we're shooting the moon, might as well. Hard to come up with a third since pp is my source of new music to get into anymore.

It's a joke. They used cuts of Lars from previous interviews.

I have to admit that I look forward to seeing the bootlegs. Helps to cope with the prog withdraw. Are the prog power live DVD's available to purchase online? I saw the table at the show, though they didn't have 2010, which is the show I missed. Also, did we record this year? Cause I will...

I think I saw you in front of me. Your friend forced you into your seat, then you walked down the stairs without falling or stumbling. Security was there but at that point I guess left you to your friends. Either that or it was another drunk guy, I don't remember what color shirt it was, and...

Funny, my camera picked this up:

Who had THIS? Me and my buddy both kept an eye out and couldn't find it!

The worst is when you get the binoculars out to look at someone, and then the lights go off. Wasn't too bad at my seat, but nothing you want magnified in your face 3x!

Nobody said anything about them "not being meant" to be played live. What has been stated is that the songs you based your opinion on were mixed so badly that half the parts weren't even present. That is why I think you are being a bit hasty. There's this really cool thing called "you tube"...

If you're waiting for a live performance to see if you like a band or not, it's not really a great assessment, especially if you don't even stay past 2 songs. There were known technical issues, so if you heard your favorite band minus the guitar tracks, you wouldn't like them either. I can...

Cheers: Simone Simons for sounding better than ever. Symphony X for another memorable Prog Power Encore moment Serenity, for being the best band on stage right now! Kamelot for kicking ass, and NightWish for kicking more ass. For King Crow, Amaranthe, Redemption, Beyond the Bridge...

In other words, short driving distance. Of course I'll be driving in from Pittsburgh. Nothing like spending 12 hours in a car listening to CD's you just bought with your bud.

Between Epica and Delain, I'd have to go with Within Temptation. Don't get me wrong, I'm regretful at missing the Delain show, and I'm stoked to see Epica again, but I think Within Temptation rocks them both. Their last album/Dvd is the best thing I got at Prog Power this year. Seriously...

You too? I thought it was my lack of sleep for 4 days straight. Good to know that it's an actual plague and not me just getting old.

I'm expecting a new album by the time prog power rolls around again. I agree that their debut album is a bit repetitive, but I'm looking forward to see what they can do with a follow up. I can count on one hand all the bands I like that don't have a crappy first album.

Woot! I got my tickets. Thanks for offering one last chance to get these.
