Ours is incredibly easy as we only played two songs.
Now That You're Gone(The Epic) - 24 minutes
Voices - not nearly as long.
I remember a lot of the songs the other bands played but I was wrapped up in stage management as well as meet & greets etc that I couldn't begin to type out a list...so I will just list some of the highlights of each.
Mob Rules
Ethnolution A.D. - their 25 minute epic, which was a follow up to our way of playing music that suited the progressive feel of Friday night. Brilliant!
BOP
Chemical Imbalance & Day Breaker were kick ass songs live and Corey's voice is a perfect match as their new lead vocalist.
Enchant
My favorite songs that I somehow always get to hear live are "What To Say" & "Comatose". However, I love all their material. They are always incredible live. One of the most consistently kick ass in the entire genre.
Spock's Beard
I agree with Dave that the new material represents some of the best live presence I have ever seen with these guys. The dyanamics of the opening track "On A Perfect Day" was amazing.
I of course was blown away by the "Water/Doorway" duet performed by Nick and my buddy DC. For never singing together before the harmonizing and vocal exchanges were incredible.
Odin's Court
I missed most of their set as I was picking up more food for back stage, so I have no opinion of this band. Cool guys though.
Eyefear
Excellent live band!!! My favorites were "World of Grey" & "Illumination Fades". The appearance of DC on stage was another impressive amount. Danny has incredible pipes and did very well even under the pressure of having a legend singing right along side of him. It would have made me nervous as f*(*k!
Zero Hour
These guys are always incredible live! My favorites are always "Eyes of Denial", "Stratagem" and the new one "Evidence of the Unseen".
Besides the obvious incredible skils of the twins and the amazing drummer who has to keep with those 2 guys each night, their new vocalist Chris has incredible pipes.
Crimson Glory
It was amazing to finally see those guys live. The songs that I screamed my ass off to were "Dragon Lady", "In Dark Places", "Astronomica" and "Touch the Sun". I'm looking forward to hearing some new material.
Hurry up guys!
JOP
All I can say is that this band has the incredible task of playing the Savatage material, which holds legendary status for anyone that has followed the metal scene since the 80's. Matt Laporte did an amazing job of pulling off all the Chris Oliva solos perfectly live.
Jon "The Mountain King" has always been one of my biggest influences as a vocalist and a song writer. His charisma on stage is why he is one of the greatest in mind to this day. My favorites of the night were obviously everything they did off "Streets", "Gutter Ballet" and Hall of the Mountain King". The surprise for me which was my favorite Savatage CD was "Warrriors". Hearing that song live made my entire night.
Also, "Manacial Renderings" and "Timeless Flight" were 2 new tracks that thought kicked serious ass live as well.
Ok..that was my 2 cents!:
