I found this review and it was interesting
In Gagarin 205 Club, Athens. On Sunday, February's 20th, 2005
The first band to open this special night was Fragile Vastness. The crowd seemed to know their old and like their new songs. The songs they played from their past material were Parasite, Formula and one more I cant remember right now. The new songs had some ethnic and jazz elements that made the music the same, or even more interesting than their old material. The fact remains that they are one of the two best progressive bands in Greece. After half an hour of playing, it was time for the other great band from Greece to get on stage
This other band is Wastefall. Ill start with this: the sound was terrible! The volume of both the guitars was too low and the sound was many times distorted. The band made many mistakes in their performance the songs they played were Soulrain, Stunned To The World, Empty Haven, S. E. P. and Lesser. However, the fact that despite all these problems they managed to excite a large amount of the crowd showed that these guys have guts! Unfortunately, there was the other part of the crowd that didnt show much of understanding about their problems and they mocked them one of them threw a cigarette on the stage, pointing at the singer. This action was uncivilized and immature to my opinion. Anyway, they too played half an hour and did their best to prepare the crowd for the progressive icon called Fates Warning!
The "Many Mistakes" comment scared me a bit... I like their new disc...thought the first one sucked...but to see that they warmed up for Fates at least gives us an idea that they can perform in front of large crowds.

I love Fates Warning, but I personally can't recall them ever playing in front of a large crowd other than when they opened for DT and Queensryche (I believe).
