So, what did you think of PP Europe 2007?

[renejanssen]

Hi,

Hopefully you all will spend 5 minutes to send us your feedback through the feedback form on the website, but we just would like to know what you thought of this weekend.

We had an absolute wonderful time, and allthough we arranged all the details at the last minute (due to circumstances), organisation wise we had the best year ever. Everything went pretty smoothly and all the bands were very satisfied with everything, especially the sound on stage and in the venue.

Personally I have really enjoyed both headliners, and bands as OCEANS OF SADNESS, NAHEMAH and SIEGES EVEN. But all the bands did a great performance, the quality was huge this year. We hope to improve that next year.

Let us know your thoughts.

Rene

Absolutely superb time, as usual... Alchemist, Nahemah (a big surprise) and Sieges Even - hell yeah, my ass is kicked, can't sit no more :D

Good stuff.

On behalf of the four of us who travelled from Newark, England for the weekend, I would like give a big thank you to Rene and the team for putting on a fantastic festival. We all had a wonderful weekend in Baarlo and were very sad to leave. There is a very strong chance that we will be back next year if the line up is anything like this year. Highlights for me personally were; Thessera, DGM, Orphaned Land, Mevyn, Circus Maximus and Jon Oliva's Pain
Thanks again.
Bob, Sarah, Duncan & Sue

Progpower organisation, thanks for everything! We had a great time on our first progpower! Our highlights were Circus Maximus!!! Orphaned Land, Meyvn and Alchemist. And I'm surely gonna check some material of Nahemah!
Castle de Berckt was also a great place with friendly people and a nice breakfast ! We will be back next year. I hope that the line up will contain some supprises like this year!

See ya!!!

I think this was (one of) the best Progpower ever.
A lot of surprises I did not see coming e.g.: Alchemist being very enjoyable, Circus Maximus with a superb and catchy live performance but most of all: the frikadellen-party The ones I had high expectations for (being Sieges Even, Nahemah and Jon Oliva ) were some much better than I had anticipated.

It was the first time I saw Jon Oliva and I really really really had fun! Boy , what a performer this man is. It was like a master class on "how to entertain people".

All in all a weekend I will have very fond memories of for years to come.

Dries.. your first time EVER to see Jon (incl. Savatage)? I agree, Mr. Mountain King made 2 hours seem like 15 minutes (hmmm maybe I shouldn't be happy with that?? )

A mild migraine kept me outside with a soda for the most part of the 3 days, but with the superb weather (and still music in the background) that was no punishment I managed to see the whole Meyvn set (loved it) and of course Jon Oliva and after that my migraine was finally gone. Many hours of afterparty with (finally) beer, headbanging and overall partying made up for all the holding back in the days before! It was almost as good as last year and René, many thanks for the speech for us about us leaving the country and headbanging to Into Eternity with us We are so grateful for all you've done for us over the years and even more so for your wonderful friendship! WE LOVE YOU! Oh and of course ProgPower itself with aaaaaaaall its wonderful and diverse visitors!!!!

Now all we have to do is win the lottery so we can still afford to come back each year

The way back to Sweden wasn't a nice experience, I tell ya(Thanks 2 Christer & Gustav for helping me out..)

I've made a quickie for my pics(without comments, I'll try to sort names out on pics during this week!)
They're downscaled so they could be squeezed in to my 20Mb space...

Yes, my first time ever! In the early days I was more into soft prog rock (Mike Oldfield, Chandelier, Marillion, IQ, etc.) That means that I don't really have much of an history in Metal. I am catching up though and the softy will be gone soon: this year I even loved Alchemist.

My headache was self-induced but it must be a real pain to have migraine during the ProgPower weekend

I think you must. You 2 are important members of the ProgPower family.

Hi René and team,

From the desk of JOP:

Infinite thanks to Rene, his great crew and the amazing audience at this years show. JOP has been suffering through a great deal of grief since the untimely passing of our engineer/ producer- Greg Marchak just 4 weeks ago. But the show must go on and we forged ahead to the NL...just as Greg would have wanted. We hope that we delivered a show worthy of the invitation.

Thank you all again, and we will see you in spring-2008. JOP #3 to be released in March '08!

Til then.........cheers and beers!
