Great, looks like quality prog is spreading into new geographical areas, and can't think of better ambassadors than Arena.

Hope the other groups were good too.

If the whole world listened to Arena (incl. the Talebans), I'm sure mankind would be more loving and creative. Let's do our bit!

Thanks for the great pics, Jorja.

Nicky.

Maybe Arena isn't a good idea, since their music is very dark and depressing actually.
When I listen to Arena They strike fear in my heart. Whenever someone storms into my room while I'm listening Arena, I quickly hide under the bed, it's so dark and fearful music.

Beautiful, but not happy or lovely. I can't picture people (Taliban and Americans for example) shaking hands and hugging each other while in the background Arena is playing...

Capish?

Great, PH, couldn't do it any better myself. So therefore I'll stop here.

Just wondering what kinda freak you'll be when you hit my 52.

I think Arena would be good to for  peace and love even with sad bit of it... sometime if you use negative and turn it into positifs 8), it does work... 8)
And by the way great show Saturday... As always, very pro...
