ProgPower is a top draw for most, or all, of us, but other tours don't come to screeching halt for ProgPower weekend. Did you have to skip any shows happening during, or around PP, in your city, in order to make ProgPower?
In Detroit both Napalm Death/Exodus, and Mastodon played shows that I missed to go to ProgPower. They were both on the same night, so no matter what I would have had to make a choice. Obviously I believe I made the right decision by doing PP over those two. Ironically, I love Mastodon, but I have not seen them any of the half-dozen or so times they've toured near me in the past 3 years. Something always happens and I end up not going. Maybe I'll NEVER see them.
EDIT: I also missed a Buckethead show from not getting back in time.
Post your skips if you had any.
