Glenn should totally take note of this, I mean 22 replys and not a single bad one saying oh they are okay or anything like that. Once again ENCHANT FOR PP VII!!

I think they've played every prog festival out there except for Prog Power and the live DVD gives you a pretty good idea what these guys can do live. So Glen, what do you say brother...?
I totally agree with these guys! Glen, get Enchant out here for either the mainstage or the the pre-party! I saw them at the DVD taping, as well, and they totally ROCKED
and were soulful too! Not to mention they crack jokes in between songs, so they're an all around GREAT band to see live! Not to mention cool to hang out and talk with as we did at the Pyramid Ale House, before the DVD taping. All these guys are talented musicians, but as a bass player I have to make a special mention that Ed Platt tore it up on the bass! Hell we'll get them to use more cowbell for ya Glen!

I agree with you 110% about the song "What to Say"! That is the one that gets to me the most! ::BEATS MY CHEST:: I think that Burke and I cried like 12 year old girls with skinned knees when they played that song live @ the DVD taping!

Yeah that's the song that got me seriously into this band. Although seeing you & Burke crying like 12 year old girls was probably the second thing...you guys are frigging insane, but it looks like a lot of people here agree - bring on the ENCHANT!!!!!

Check out this vid of Ted Leonard from Enchant singing the Star Spangled Banner recently at SPC Ball Park when the San Francisco Giants played the Atlanta Braves!
I just watched Ted's rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner"...it gave me goosebumps! This is another example of what I said about the guys in Enchant being so talented and so soulful!
Hey Mare!mgirishfan said:
Playing phone tag is fun isn't it?
No doubt! I knew you'd be behind me on this one! Hell yeah! That DVD is awesome. I watched it in its entirety weekend before last and part of it this past weekend! Those guys in Europe are so lucky for that too!
Absolutely! After attending just about every PP event, I know that Enchant belongs at PP!
Talk to/See you soon! Call or write me so I know where we are going!

No problem!
Start with A Blueprint of the World. After that:
Wounded
Time Lost
Break
Juggling 9 or Dropping 10
Blink of an Eye
Tug of War
Live at Last DVD (get that anytime)
Burke said:YES YES YES YES
Been talking about them for years - If PC 69 can play and DC can do that set at the preparty then these guys can definitely play - as Mare and Rik said, they put on a great live show and I KNOW they have a lot of fans out there. They are a US band on Inside Out and have paid their dues - they have toured plenty in Europe and toured with Dream Theater, Threshold, hell they just did that Holland festival with Prymary and a bunch of other bands.....
I just ran into a a few people this last festival who I talked with about the band who were fans. I know Eric Ragno who was at the CD Inzane booth will back me up as he was at the Enchant DVD taping a few years back, as well as Dustin from Kategory V (or is it Mr. Mangina now??)
These guys should get a shot - no doubt about it!!!!!!!!! :Smokin:
General - for a first listen, I would suggest Blink of an Eye or Juggling 9 or Dropping 10. If you want the 'proggier' side of things, their first album 'Blue print of the World' is just amazing. (get the remaster - much better sound). First time I heard Blueprint and the drumming on it, I thought I had discovered Neil Peart's secret bastard son!
Testify Burke!
Can't agree with you more!
I think Dustin's name is now Daddy Mangina!
What rock have I been living under? I didn't realize they remastered anything? MUCH BETTER?!?!?! Man, I can't even imagine that! I HAVE to get that one. I love all of them. I just told Zod to start from the beginning. J9oD10 and Blink are still plenty proggy to me.
Hell yeah! And I was nervous when I heard that Paul had left. Once I heard Sean, those worries went out the window!
Hey Jeffro!SliderJeff said:
No doubt about that too! Maybe because of recent events in my life but "What to Say" tore me up when I watched the video last week!
OK, I can do without the visuals. And knowing you so well, makes it even sicker!
Wow! We definitely agree on that!
See ya!
Agreed! I love some super crunchy stuff, but Enchant has a certain sound that I just love and can't get enough of!Greykiller said:
I think they will get a much better reaction than Dreamscape. I think they are a lot better known, have been around longer, and people are chomping at the bit to hear/see them live!
Thanks Burke! That is AWESOME! Ted is da man!Burke said:http://www.theoasis.cc/pictures/ted_ssb_live.mpg

You HAD to get that in there now didn't you!!
uke: JW Take that!
As badly as I want to see them I have to disagree with you on this one! Enchant is way too established. They deserve the main stage -- they can hang out at the pre-party!Unca Kev said:I totally agree with these guys! Glen, get Enchant out here for either the mainstage or the the pre-party!

Lucky bastard -- you got to the taping show too!
Yes! Ed does tear it up! And he had a great time doing it too! I'm so jealous!

I think he's right - but its for a good cause! :Smokin:
Rick the REMASTER of Blueprint is amazing - you gotta pick it up bro. And yeah the DVD show was just such an event to attend - I was blown away.
Also check out the twinpack of Timelost and Wounded remaster -
I'm listening to the Stride cd right now and it just reconfirms the fact that Enchant should get their shot at PP.
Hahahahaha!! I knowPetethedrummer said:
I posted that on Friday and was out of town all weekend for band practice. I didn't see how crazy this thread went until last night do I had some catch up to do.

Believe me, I wish that they would get the mainstage! The more exposure, the better. But if they don't get to play the mainstage, then Enchant getting to play the Pre-Party would be better than them not playing at PPVII at all. Don't you think? Besides, I don't think that there is any dishonor in playing the pre-party. Hell, if they got to headline the Pre-Party as opposed to getting a slot where people who were ariving late or getting stuff signed would miss, it would be like that Milton philosophy: Better to rule in Hell than to serve in Heaven!
Not that I'm saying the Pre-Party is really like Hell (or worse than the mainstage), I just think it's awesome too!
