I wish I'd been there, but it's not exactly on my bus route... We need a similar festival here, but I doubt we have enough audience.

nice review... though this year everyone got an ovation/encore. Even Steve Hillage's train wreck of a show hahah.
I did hear some comments while being a bad boy outside after the set that many thought Hansen was a bit..err.. much hahhaha. Our dear collab David did a nice demonstration of shooting skeet to illustrate what some felt of his exagerated movements.
btw... Beardfish pulled out of supporting DT.. along with Pain of Salvation. Financial problems.

checking it out... it was funny... the guys sitting next to me were also at Beardfish's 2006 show. We all thought that show was heads above their set yesterday.
I must say though... I really like the new material from their upcoming album.

Nearfest really bowled me over  ... I'd been to other rock festivals in the past, but never to a completely prog one, and this one was really something special. Everything was perfect - the town, the venue, the people, the organisation, and, of course, the music. I'd like to write a more complete review in the next few days, but for the time being I'll just say that last night, if I had had an Italian flag, I'd have started waving it all over the place - and I'm the least patriotic person in the world. PFM were beyond magnificent, and the other Italians, jazz-rockers DFA, were a revelation to me. I got to meet them personally yesterday afternoon, and they were elated to meet a fellow Italian here in the US - and someone who showered them with praise to boot. Those two bands showed the people who where there that there is more to Italy than that pathetic buffoon Berlusconi and his minions - they represent the best part of the country where I was born.

same here... but like I said. It is ok to dream.... VDGG was incredible. Got a new appreciation for them seeing them live. Lemmings fell flat without David Jackson.. but the rest... I dug it. Especially when followed by the sonic disaster that was Steve Hillage hahha.

ahhhh...Gary Green was there. Scuttle-butt is they may reform and play next year's Nearfest playing a set of live gems from their back catalog that they didn't do in 70's. Considering the person I heard it from seems to know lot of higher up's there.. take it for what it's worth. It is ok to dream at least hahah.
