Better late than never so here goes.
Congrats & thanks gang for another awesome ProgPower. You all do an amazing job. I guess I just should have said you know your shit!
Glenn I want to thank you again for all you have done for me, & Troy. We had an awesome time. You are & always will be more than just a friend to us. Your family. Luv ya man! Alright enough of the mushy stuff.
I posted some more thoughts on the fest on PM Rising, as I generally don't post elsewhere to often. Here is a part of that post.
The bands that stood out for me...
Circus Maximus - dead on just like like the record. The singer is amazing! Cool drumming too. Loved them. (*Glenn I think even Larry was converted)
Orphaned Land - I like Mabool, but had not planned on going front stage until Troy & Dweeb talked me into it. I planned on staying for 3 or so songs, but once I got there I could not leave. They were mesmorizing live! Full of energy, & had the crowd big time. I admit to having a tear in my eye at times relating the flooding theme of Mabool to my destroyed town where my home was under water. It was a bit of a release honestly. I had a great time up there. Loved their set!
Conception - OMG! Certainly the main draw for me. The sound in front of the sound board was incredible! They sound like they never missed a beat. I think Kahn sounded better than the previous 2 times I saw him with Kamelot. They played most of Flow, & I could hardly contain myself. I hope they release a new record soon. The hightlight of the show!
Therion - I am not a huge fan, but they put on a hell of a show. The sound was great. Having the choirs in the live setting made a huge impact. A keyboard player would have been nice, as some of the sound was piped in. Still a great show!
I had a great time, & was so glad I went. I'll have a report on my return trip home as soon as I can muster it. Some (very) good, & some bad news on that.
