That's fuckin' awesome! I wonder if that means we are going to be treated to Christ 0 in its entirety?

Holy shit!!!!!!!!!

 

[zedowns]

HELL YES!

 

[Torn2Shreds]

This is really great news!!! I'm sure Vanden Plas will put on a really great show on Thursday night.
Plus... Correct me if I am wrong but I think the whole festival is going to be filmed again for DVD...

Hope I'm right.

That would be terrific ... I'd be extremely happy if that happened. I like all of their stuff, but Christ 0 is the disc that really turned me into a VP nut.

Christ.0 is one of the weaker VP cds in my opinion. If they were going to do an entire album, I'd prefer they did The God Thing or Far Off Grace, but honestly I'd rather just see them play a nice mix of all their material and do a little bit longer of a show.

Agreed. Christ O is good. Far Off Grace, The God Thing and Beyond Daylight are superior, however.

Here's hoping for a solid 2 hour set spanning their entire catalog....

AWESOME!!! YESSS!

Well, Andy pretty much told me during our interview that VP was going to shoot a DVD at ProgPower. So that plus their official announcement indicates to me it's definitely going to happen.

And I concur...SWEET!

Vanden Plas are the entire reason I'm flying down to Atlanta next month. This is awesome news.

I love CHRIST O.... I would be ecstatic if they played the whole thing!!! I dont think they have a bad song period....that's how much I like them. They are my Dad's second favorite band behind Dream Theater... we both cant wait to see them...hell that's why we sponsored them!!!

 

[VenomGA]

Very good news!

 

[AngraRULES]

That's awesome. Needless to say we'll all be there!! =)

 

[BlindPanzer]

Awesome. Hopefully they play a varied set as opposed to all of Christ.O

 

[JenniferLynn]

Christ 0 was my intro to VP and by far and easily my favorite... GT and FoG are great, but Christ 0 is just brilliant to me...

 

[swayn3rd]

I would definately not mind Christ.0 in its entirety it is an amazing album. Plus it still leaves them with time to play some of the other material which is also amazing.

I'd like to see them play a song or two from Abydos. "Silence" would be an excellent choice. "You Broke The Sun" and "Coppermoon" would be great too.
