There were several threads for other bands, but for my money, NO ONE outsang Michele Luppi!!!! VD was my favorite of the fest!!!! Closely followed by Freak Kitchen, Jorn, and Circus Maximus in no particular order.
Vision Divine!!!!
- Thread starter Heavenly Call
- Start date
Vision Divine were certainly awesome. Great setlist as well. Michele Luppi I knew would be good as I have the live dvd, but seeing it in person was just too cool.
Here's the setlist from what I remember (probably out of order somewhere):
The Perfect Machine
First Day of a Never-ending Day
Stream of Unaconsciousness/The Secret of Life
Colours of My World
The Ancestor's Blood
In the Light/The Fallen Feather
La Vita Fugge
Versions of the Same
God is Dead

I certainly agree that Vision Divine was awesome. My only gripe is that they should have be a 4th slot band, or at least a 3rd. Then they could play some more songs like: Out Of The Maze, We Are, We Are Not, and Land of Fear.
I wanted to hear Out of the Maze as well as Identities and Here in 6048. Hopefully they'll be back in a couple years at the higher slot. The crowd reaction by the end was pretty pleasing.
I was going to start my own VD appreciation thread, but I won't flood the forum with duplicate posts. Bottom line imo was that they were the best band of the entire weekend! They put on one hell of a performance and you could tell each and every one of them enjoyed what they were doing and truly appreciated being there. What else can be said about Luppi; perhaps the best vocalist to ever grace the PP stage other than Khan of course 
Serioulsy though, all comparisons aside, they blew me away. I was disaapointed that they did not play 1 single tune from their earlier albums. I guess that was due to the lack of time allotted for the set.
If Shane is reading this, please brother, get these guys back to headline the pre-party. It seems like it may have become a trend over the past 2 years, and I can't think of a better band to repeat as a pre-party headliner. Absolutely amazing!

I absolutely positively have to see this band again. Perhaps the best performance at any Progpower, nevermind VII.
Michele Luppi is THE greatest vocalist to ever grace the stage.

Yeah I liked Vision Divine and Epica the most by far. V.D. has a great presence on stage, very professional, but then you know the Italians always do it better Too bad their South American tour won't happen, after they came all the way over here.

Michel Luppi sounded great and the band was tight. I was hoping for Land of Fear as well, but La Vita Fugge was awesome!! How does he get enough air in his lungs for that note?!

Two bands that sounded much better to me live than from cd's were Vision Divine and Epica. The VD singer can really sing!

Vision Divine was awesome, and Michelle Luppi is in my opinion right at the top of the all time prog power vocalist list.
