How I rank the crowd response at the end of the set

Cheiron · September 29th, 2008, 12:29 PM

**didn't see IE or Rob Rock's, and couldn't see Andromeda's but going off what I heard from others**

1. JOP
2. Riverside (first standing ovation of the fest)
3. Mustasch
4. Elvenking
5. Saint Deamon
6. Iron Savior
7. Spheric Universe Experience
8. Pathosray
9. Andromeda (which surprises me as I thought they'd go over really well)
10. Amorphis

The crowd response to Mustasch was great but it was disappointing seeing just how much less of a crowd was on the floor compared to Rob Rock. It filled in a little but they definitely seemed to be a band some people didn't even bother giving a chance to. I have no problem saying Volbeat canceling was a huge bummer for me and I didn't take to Mustasch's albums but they were phenomenal live.

Andromeda slayed. The guitar glitch at the end of their set probably dampened the crowd response.
Riverside was one of the tightest sets I have witnessed.
JOP had the best response.

Agreed. They were flawless all 4 times I saw them. And also I had never seen the ProgPower crowd give a standing ovation after a set other than Riverside. I may be wrong, but I've been coming to the fest since PP3 and Riverside seems to be the first to get that.

It was interesting to see how empty the place was when Mustasch started, and how it got more filled up after every song. I'm hoping that people were intrigued enough to check them out, as they were really, really good.

I thought the bands with the best response were IE, Riverside, and JOP.

Absolutely true. Might've been because Rob was recording for DVD...people want to be on TV

Interesting you mention that because I noticed it, too. I was surprised at the reaction because I thought this crowd would not give them the time of day. It was great to see...

I was one of those folks that came in late for them, not really thinking I was going to like it. We went up top and sat for them, but really dug it. They had huge sound and really enjoyed it.

I think everyone was on their feet for Edguy at III. Maybe not. You were 14 at that show right?

Anyway the crowd was great for Riverside.

Mustasche was cool ... I only planned to check out a couple tunes, but they won me over pretty quickly. I ended up staying for the rest of the set .. quite enjoyable. This was my 3rd most enjoyable set behind .. #1 Amorphis, and #2 Riverside.
