Just curious various folks' excitement levels for each day of the Event: I include Nightwish/Kamelot as a single day, despite suspicions that their setlist may vary by night.
Friday Day/Night is it for me. I may spontaneously combust before the end of Epica's first song. 4 of my 6 most anticipated sets are Friday (Sinbreed, Amaranthe, Serenity, Epica), and the remaining 3 bands are ones I would gladly make a trip to see if they were headlining. Primordial may be my personal Ihsahn - I am really looking forward to that experience.
Second most amount of excitement/anticipation is the Nightwish/Kamelot show. I have wanted to see Nightwish for years. I missed them in '09, should've taken my wife to see them in '07, and didn't know about ProgPower in '03
waah
, so I am thrilled to finally do it. As for Kamelot, they were troopers 2 years ago at ProgPower, so I'm really looking forward to a well-done set without drama and distraction from haters.
In third place (if that's possible) is Saturday night. Crazily, though, Pretty Maids might be the one band I am MOST excited to see. Add that Beyond The Bridge is opening (ironically I suspect they will be the Haken of this festival, and they are in the same spot), and Saturday is guaranteed to be a blast for me... with slightly less excitement than the other 2 days. Hey, how can any night ending with Symphony X be less than awesome?
What say all of you? Which Night do you MOST expect to blow your noggin lids off?
