2006 Rites of Spring Festival

[lotus]

As I read, this was an excellent event!! Glad you enjoyed it!

Karmakanic was awsome. Jonas Reingold is a monster, and his return with Krister Jonsson (he said they were brothers in law) was trimumphant. They were with the Tangent last year. I was pleasantly surprised by the vocals of Goran Edman (the birthday boy). I'm not a fan of his voice on record but he delivered, albeit with a limited vocal range. He also seems to sing through his jaw and not his throat. but some emotional numbers, especially a new one that was about 15 minutes. Some fun sprinkled in too, with "Alex in Paradise" and "Do You Tango" thrown in. Great stuff. Zoltan Czorsz's drumming was excellent, also.

I agree with you on Jonas, saw him again 2 weeks ago with TFK, and as I said in my thread, he was excellent. IMHO one of the best bass players that we have right know.

Regarding Kristan and Zoltan... it seems, that the Tangent, The Flower Kings and Mithrandir is just one big group, naming itself after the member which are cuasually there..., as Jonas, Roine and Andy like to play with the same ppl that they are playing with the respective other bands..
