I would pay Anglagard enough money until they reunite, and then have them play for two days straight.

Great to read all those inspired and varied line-ups, Anekdoten and PFM are very popular

Shame on me, I forgot to mention Nexus, one of my favorite recent bands

A few years ago I interviewed this Argentine progrock sensation and one of their remarkable quotes was "we are eager to tour in Europe, can you arrange something for us?" Well, at last I succeeded

Day One:

- PFM

- Banco

- Le Orme

- The Steve Hackett Band (including the 48 Boeing landing lights from the W&W tour)

Day Two:

- Senogul (Prog Andaluz

)

- Nemo

- Nexus

- The Greg Lake Band (awesome guitarplayer, see their DVD)
