Warsaw 'Prog in the Park' Festival


Just a few shots and quick reflections from yesterday's 'Prog in the Park' Festival in Warsaw.  Arrived just in time to catch the back end of Lion Shephered (above) who sounded quite good.

But the band I was really looking forward to seeing were Blindead:


And they didn't disappoint, they were fantastic (especially doing 's1'), the first time I've seen them live:


Thankfully, the big canopy at Park Sowinskiego kept the crowd dry, away from the rain:


Below, Blindead taking a well-deserved round of applause at the end of a great performance:


Before yesterday, I'd only been to Park Sowinskiego twice (to see Sigur Ros and Patti Smith), and the setting is quite beautiful:


This was the second time I'd seen Solstafir having caught them once before at the Proxima in Warsaw.


As expected, I recognised most of the Solstafir set without knowing any of the song titles.



Unsurprisingly, hardly anybody remained in the (quite good quality) beer area while Riverside were on stage:
 

'Conceiving You' and 'The Depth of Self-Delusion' were my favourite two tunes of the set.


Have now seen Opeth a couple of times, and still don't quite know what to make of them.


Like some tunes (the ones without grunting); less keen on the ones with grunting; and enjoy the storytelling between tunes.
