RoSfest reviews

Great to see the guys having so much fun up there - looked a blast. Great videos from the crowd too - thanks for those.

Nick looked really comfortable which must have been entailed a great deal of hard work to learn that set.

Great stuff all round.

Shit. They just turned into a fantastic and tight band on the one gig I couldn't possibly make it to.

Any chance of getting NDV to join permanently? :shock:

What do you mean, "just turned into"? I'd take issue with that - they've been fantastic and tight for a good while now! (That'll be £50 please Jem.)

Hold on there, bald eagle....
I've seen them both fantastic and tight several times....sometimes within hours of each other....

To be fair it was possibly more to do with level of rehearsal and the scale of event than just the presence of NDV....but I'd love to have seen it too!

Oi! Pedders! Who're you calling bald?

I dunno either Catherine - but I'll take the bullet if you want. I've been pulling my hair out (what's left of it) with frustration and envy after seeing and reading the last few pages! Really chuffed to see the lads do so well at RoSfest. Hope some of the new additions to the setlist make it to the Dream Theater gigs.

LOL
I was (clearly?) referring to LFE's apparent assertion that things were somehow "sloppy" before. I did get warned about the interleaved post but I figured what the heck.
It was an obscure reference to the adverts that used accompany "Texan" bars but that's me on a sweetie nostalgia kick again!

Saline

Snowman

EIMA

And No Me No Youhas just gone up as well!

To be fair, obviously I had an amazing time at both Summer's End and The Peel, and they were great gigs.

But, even from some crumnmy youtube vids, that did look like that was on another level, and I don't just mean Nick, far from it - it's obvious they'd rehearsed enough to do the music justice! I really hope they get a chance to do a headline tour some time so they can keep this momentum going!

Snowman3.0 - wow!

I'm glad someone got to show Snowman 3.0, I was having a wicked hard time trying to explain how Jem managed to clone himself lol^^

Wow indeed. I had no idea the Amazon Kindle was that versatile...

I was reluctant to spoil the surprise of the Tenori-On. Killer job that, Sir Godfrey.

Saline. It always brings on saline.

Stunning.

Nuff said.
