Yeah, all the talk I heard around the floor last night hinted that this was something, shall we say, "unique".
Sunday night a VERY good boot of this will be up for all to enjoy.

Wow, maybe it's not so terrible that I missed Wednesday night for a test the next day (and the day after). Although, it certainly sounds like an "experience." What a sad occurance.

Heading down to the fest but wanted to reply. Midnight's set was a train wreck and it only encouraged apathy from the audience. C'est la vie I guess.

Circle II Circle did not disappoint

I doubt anyone will make it through the entire boot. The only reason we stayed was because of CIIC. You that missed it have no idea.

I really hope he doesn't read this thread.... I didn't see his show myself, but I felt really bad to hear the reactions.

That's part of being an artist. You have to accept that not everyone will enjoy what you do, and it sounds like he was not the right choice for this crowd.

Understatement of the year, DDZ! Midnight should have opened for Riverside instead.

I was a huge Crimson Glory fan in college, so Wednesday night was definitely a disappointment. Before the show, I had been raving to my friend about what a great band Crimson Glory was. By the end of the set (which appeared to end sooner than planned), I felt like I had to explain that the performance was NOT what I had expected!

I’ve been reading raves on this board about Midnight’s impromptu acoustic performance in a hotel hallway at a prior ProgPower -- so I’d be interested to hear a comparison from the folks who attended both. There was definitely something odd going on during Wednesday’s show.

On the other hand, the performance from Circle II Circle was worth MORE than the price of admission. I'd be perfectly happy to attend a Wed/Thurs/Fri/Sat Zak Stevens festival. What a kick ass frontman! (And quite the trooper as well, to be on stage a week after foot surgery...)
