Well, this year held mixed emotions for me.
Most of my jeers were not show related, and I enjoyed the show as well as I could considering all the crap that happened outside of the show. I don't know whether to do the jeers of cheers first. I guess I'll say what comes.
Jeer: having my the only two people I wanted to see more than anything ditch me pretty much the whole weekend.
Cheer: Everyone who I had fun hanging out. Sam for giving me the priviledge of trusting me to escort you from the ghetto to the show. Angela and her band of canadians that took me in for the weekend gave me a gold badge, and a winning raffle ticket. \o/ It was nice being surrounded with a bunch of people who had the same dry humor I have, and was able to appreciate it. I even was caught off guard myself several times. *grins* Curufin and Nailz for the awsome listening party, even though I was only able to catch 15 mintues of it.
I did buy Dreamland Manor BTW. (wich isn't a BG clone, it 'IS' BG. hehe ) And I can't wait for Matt to get his album released either.
Cheer: The dark stairs. I loved Helping all the women down the stairs. *grins*
I enjoy being helpful. hehe No, I stumbled down them myself repeatedly. It's not just that they are dark, but they aren't spaced evenly.
Cheer: Manticora - I think I wanted to see them more than anyone else. Amazing musicians. I wish they wouldn't have cranked the base up so high though. Other than that... mmmm
Orphaned land: They are so good I can look past the fact they have some death vocals.
Angra: Amazing that Edu was loosing his Voice, but he still not only sang the whole Concert, but he came back for the encore(I can't for the life of me remember how to spell that) Angra always amazes me when they play dueling guitar solos. I liked them in III a little better though. I loved the rebirth Backdrop they had then.
Circus Maximus: Rocked for it only having been their 5th show 'EVER!' Big round of applause for those guys, keep it up!
Conception: Good show, but I was too tired to really enjoy them. with the energy I had, I felt like they sounded better on CD. I personally would have rather have seen kamelot...
but so far those have been the 2 PP's I've missed.
Stratovarius - Amazing guitarist. I don't like them as much as I used to, but I still know how to enjoy a good show.
The rest of the bands played well. I enjoyed all of them.
Cheer: Glenn and the entire Crew. The usual thanks. Good job, and keep up the good work.
Jeer: Bank one for making all out of state access to my money unavailable through ATM's for the weekend due to maintenance?!?
Good thing I could still pay for my room..........
