Overly long heavy bit and outtro...



LOL Sounds like they played a lot of recent material. The old stuff is much better than that. Then again, what do you expected from a band that won TMF's European Music Award? (Knowing that TMF is the Dutch MTV subsidiary).

Cheers mate, have a beer on me!

I was reliably informed they played a panoply of tunes from different albums.  I only recognised two of them, mind you.  The one they finished on reminded me of Nickleback though, which kind of scares me!

Actually, the best tracks they did, were the last ones of the night, including one with acoustic guitars.

Be Careful With That Leg You,Jared.

Have you checked down the back of the sofa?
 
I'm off for a couple of beers and a curry. Could be a bit stinky in here tomorrow, I apologise in advance.

I have returned from a very memorable gig!  Riverside were brilliant!  It's the second best gig of the year so far!  The accolade of best gig goes to VdGG though.

Wow!

Nice work guys.

It was also great to meet Jared and Andy, they are exactly as expected.

I have noticed one thing though... VdGG fans seem to follow me around!  There was one at a Gov't Mule gig, one who is a friend of someone I know, who I met at a gig and there was even one there last night.

It seems we are using clandestine operations to infiltrate and destroy the world of prog, by usurping it with VdGG t-shirt wearers!  Nice.

Cry even more unhappy that I couldn't make it now - I hate it when life gets in the way of prog.
 
However, glad you guys had a great time - Can we expect to see an appropriately enthusiastic review soon?
What?

Ah, I presumed you hadn't turned up.  We kept looking for you though.  You did miss an excellent gig though and I hope one of us three can review it.  I need to get a setlist first though.

I'm sure there will be other oppurtunities to meet-up. Prog-Power is looking promising for next year for me.

Well, I have a ticket for the Friday night at least....sadly, Saturday is looking like a dead loss for me, with no bands that I wish to see, so I'll reluctantly be giving it a miss....

I'm not sure whether we are ever going to see Andy (Sleeper) again...he was last seen getting on a bus and disppearing into the Herefordshire countryside.....
 
...from which, few return....Ermm

I haven't looked at the breakdown yet and wasn't aware that it is a two day event, which involves an overnight stay and tripples the cost for usUnhappy, so I'm likely to pick the day with Vanden Plas (who I haven't seen yet), even if that means missing Power Quest or Evergrey.

I'm in the fortunate position of being able to see Andromeda, Circus Maximus & Vanden Plas, back to back, all on the Friday night...Clap
 
...frankly, I won't lose any sleep about missing Powerquest or Evergrey....Embarrassed

Hi Tony,

Vandenplas sounds allright, a friend of me loves them, a bit over the top sometimes, I think.....
