1. Weapons of Mass Destruction (I still can't believe I got to see Doc Kill Drums on stage with Jon and Chris)
2. Jon Oliva's Pain (goes without saying)
3. Stratovarius (probably Hell for Glenn to deal with, but it was cool to see the classic lineup before it imploded)
4. Rob Rock (this was a treat...awesome set list and performance)
5. Jorn (I'll probably be loyal to this guy until I'm an old man)
Honorable mentions: Edguy, Angra, Tad Morose, Brainstorm, and While Heaven Wept
Bands I wish I had seen, but most likely will never happen: Balance of Power w/Lance, Angel Dust, and Nightwish w/Tarja
Bands I wish I hadn't seen: Freak Kitchen, Pain of Salvation, and Diablo Swing Orchestra....I kid, I kid!
