Thanks for posting these videos, Jen!
I've been checking periodically for new ones, and in hopes of keeping this thread alive, I have some comments for a few of them:
Symphony X--These guys are always a top notch live band, and this video reminds me that there are so many great songs from their back catalog that they've swept under the rug in the past seven years or ignored completely.
Superior--I remember looking forward to this band's performance, and they certainly didn't disappoint. However, they were the goofiest looking bunch who didn't intend on looking goofy that I've ever seen on that stage. A lot of bands have a certain "look" to go with their music, but these guys look like they threw on whatever was clean in their closets!
Nightingale--It's an absolute shame that these guys have never come back to the festival, as they were super tight. I remember Dan Swano hanging out with anybody and everybody who wanted to meet him that weekend.
Pain Of Salvation--This band is musical perfection live. I know that Gildenlow has ruffled a lot of feathers over the years, not to mention that Gildenlow is the only guy from this video that's still in the band, but I would give my left nut to see another performance by them. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but the additional video at the end was a pleasant surprise as well.
Stay metal. Never rust.
Albert
