I rly didn't expect it to end up this way but it relay gave me a chance to see what it was like to live in the 70's

I guess we all have differing opinions - could only make Sunday - surprise package was Spocks Beard (apart from when the overgrown college boy came on at the end...) Why oh why weren't Tull headlining the main stage rather than the bombastic Dream Theatre? Otherwise - great festival - long may it continue!

Neurosis and Judas Priest were worth the ticket price alone. Gentlemans Pistols and Graveyard were amazing, even better than on record. Ravens Creed, Grand Magus and Black Spiders were also cool. It's a shame I couldn't see Jethro Tull or Arthur Brown because of the stupid schedule.

That was even better than last year's festival! Everything on the Prog stage was incredible... Except Neal Morse's Christianity :P Hope it's on again next year!

yeah, well... i came to HV to see and listen to as much as i could. planned on 17 bands, saw 15 out of those 17 and i don't think one of them was bad. as i said, curved air wasn't really my thing but there were good moments and queensryche was quite enjoyable but not that spectacular. and i really liked the rest. amplifier was fantastic! schenker had a great setlist with some fine guests (btw. who was the bass player, not pete way, the other one?), i didn't really know thunder - they are almost completely unknown in my country and i wanted to take a look for some 15-20 minutes just out of curiosity and it turned out to be a great gig! DT was great as always, JLB was great, not as always ;) finally got to see the Priest. had tickets for their show in Poland some 6 years ago, but the Pope died something like 2-3 days before the date and they canceled. i'd really like to see aerosmith or rush next year, riverside on prog stage would be great though i have them on daily basis in Poland ;)

i did see spocks beard and although i'm not a huge fan of their stuff, i quite enjoyed it. strange that the band that amazed you the most were disapointing foe me and visa versa. i guess that proves it's all down to personal opinions and has nothing to do with not appreciating what you've got ;). Still i was amazed following the DT set to overhear someone say they've just sat through the worse 2 and a half hours of a rock show ever! there's no pleasing some people

quite opposite for me. i liked caravan, one of the best performances of the festival for me. bjh was ok, great to hear mockingbird, but i wasn't amazed that much, though kinda liked it. curved air was the biggest disappointment for me. it started not so well, though i must admit, they got better towards the end. 2 things i regret were not seeing bonamassa with JT (i left the prog stage area when DT was about to start) and not going to spock's beard and thus not seeing their reunion with neil morse... had i known he was supposed to be there, i would have gone there at least for some half an hour before bcc's gig (had a great spot near the stage and didn't want to give it up before bcc). but other than that, these were absolutely fantastic 2 days of music. especially for someone from a different country, who doesn't have a chance to see all those great bands in one place during one weekend. you uk people are spoiled, like i said here some days ago ;) you can't appreciate what you have ;)

Day 1 was a slight disapointment for me. i'm not sure what it was, perhaps the lack of bands that i was interested in. Iwas looking forward to seeing Caravan, but found them mildly disapointing. their set got better towards the end though. BJH were the only real highlight of the day for me. Day 2 was a different story. pallas followed by the enid followed by the best performance of the weekend, Curved Air. I could have gone home after those 3 a very happy boy. but instead i hung around for DT and was not disapointed. sterling show!

Best bands, Caravan and Jethro Tull on the prog stage, Black Spiders and Grand Magus on the metal stage, Judas Priest and Thunder on the main stage, AND THE SEX PIRATES IN THE BEER TENT. Worst bands of the festival... Dream Theatre was the only sucky band there all weekend.

i wonder what made you all listen to the bands you don't like? if you only went there for 1/2 bands, why didn't you go home after their concerts? what's the point of listening to the ones you don't like and then writing here that they were bad? i guess that's what they call trolling or whatever...

Dream Theater almost became listenable when watched from the Ferris wheel. ...Almost. Priest/Jethro Tull gave the best performances :D

Just won two weekend tickets! That's one for me, one spare and my original Saturday one... anyone interested? :P

They're probably shifting so few tickets because it's so damned overpriced, and the lack of places to stay. £110 for a weekend's no good if you've got pay excessive train fares + accommodation on top of that. I'm lucky enough to live close enough for that not to be an issue.

Can't wait! I'll be at the prog stage mostly, though I'll be at the main stage a fair bit. I'm ignoring the metal stage entirely, although the headliners might be worth a look...

Groupon.co.uk were selling them last weekend for £44 or £25 for a day ticket. I think Orange and Mean Fiddler are both doing buy one get one free deals now. http://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/promo/pjb2iq Sales must've been really poor if they're that desperate to shift tickets.

I managed to score a £44 weekend ticket but then got thoroughly raped by train fares. Not such a bargain after all. It should still be worth it to finally see Neurosis though. Does anyone know of any metal gigs in London on the friday night?

Clashes are one thing. You have to accept clashes at a multi-stage festival. It's the stupid 5/10 minute overlaps that are annoying. Why overlap bands by 5 minutes? You could clearly have arranged that so people could watch both bands completely. These people are such amateurs when it comes to the running order.

I'm running around catching half sets mainly. I'd be perfectly happy to catch every band at the festival if it were possible, with the exception of The Treatment and Dream Theatre.

Wow, looking at my personal time schedule I see that i'm completely ignoring the Metal stage even though my favorite music is Metal :S
