PPUK pics

I attended Progpower UK II this weekend, and you guys should get a kick out of this...

Highlight was easily Jon Oliva. He played STREETS!!! In (almost) its entirety.. wow!!! The rest of his set was very heavy on Savatage material, including a Jon-sung Edge of Thorns, Gutter Ballet, Sirens, Hall of the Mountain King. Pretty incredible, I never expected to get the chance to see the full Streets album performed live!!!

Heed and Haggard were very impressive as well. Heed's frontman can really scream. Haggard only played for 25 minutes (about 4 songs) because they were severely delayed at the border on the way to the show, but they really won the crowd over in the time they had.

I've posted pics from the event to http://picasaweb.google.com/michael.duncan.smith/ProgpowerUKIIMarch312007/ ... enjoy!

Guess I'm glad I didn't attend for Haggard if that's all they got to play. I soooooo want to see them live.

Heed's vocalist is awesome, but I mainly know him from his Lost Horizon days, where, yes, the main can wail.

PPUK was great this year - well done Jon

Kamelot were brilliant

You can always tell a great line up when every band is finished too soon
could have stayed for another 12 hours

Heed has to play ProgPower sometime!
