Friday June 27th-
Concerto Moon
Rocket Scientists with Lana Lane

Hell Yeah! Bar Fest just surpassed ProgPower USA as the more exciting festival of the two … even if you include all four days of the ProgPower festival.

 

[Rick Pierpont]

Damn it! I had a feeling about Darkwater. Good God, this is going to kill me to miss this lineup. Between Enchant on Friday and the entire Saturday night lineup, this is something I'd really love to attend! Alas, other duties are calling that weekend.

 

[MAVIII]

Hey 5150!

"Stride" would have been a nice addition to the show as well

I was rooting for Sieges Even, but judging from the responses from all of the above, I'm excited about this lineup!

Oh that would've really killed me dude. I'm glad for my sanity that Sieges Even wasn't the last band. Bad enough already...

I'd be happy to see Stride as well. I have seen them several times in Houston and Atlanta. But sadly they are no more. They couldn't keep it together. Today some of the members perform in a local VH tribute band called Unchained. But I am not a big Roth era fan and the one time I saw them, they were pretty drunk. So their performance was poor and it was compounded by bad sound. A major disappointment. :-(

Too bad you're gonna miss it Rick, would've been good to see your bro...

Dude, David and I discussed these guys, and I recommended them for this year; if it had happened, on top of everything else that's line-ed up, you'd really be bumming.

 

[sharward]

Maybe we'll be seeing and hearing Sieges Even at Bay Area Rock Fest 2009!

Keith do yourself a favor and pick up Darkwater's album!! It is one of my favorites albums in the last few years!
