It was basically the same set, but the sound quality was awesome, the vocalist sounded incredible and their stage presence was great.

Haha not my kind of music so I am a lil bias. Guess it didn't help putting them out there in the daylight either...

I found Parachute this year overall was dissapionting... but I mostly go to hang out with mates and have a good time so it was OK. Anberlin's sound was REALLY bad

Nah, daylight sucks. Honestly, as a musician, playing in the day light is horrible. Indoors with stage lights and no outside light coming through, or at night is the best.

I guess you mean sound, and I agree. Not just Anberlin's though. The whole Mainstage sound sucked. It usually does. It's because it's outside, in a wide open area and there's no acoustics.

Haha i reckon the sound techs this year just sucked... They totally screwed up 'Day of Fires' backing vocals and gutair. But yeh i pretty much go for the same reason as mouse.

. If i like the music its a bonus.

Waylander and Lias, you'd be surprised at the amount of heavier bands there. There was a stage there a few years ago called 'The Cage'. It was indoors, could hold about 1500 people, and they played the heavy, punk and generally, any other good stuff that would never be considered 'Christian'. Sadly, this stage no longer exists. But they do have the amatuer(sp?) stage thing. And that's usually a good place to go.

Yep you would be surprised if you listened to Christian music....the only difference is the message....just bought Rapture Rukus which is rapish and real good.

Hmmm.... interesting read this one.
Have had many friends go to the event with mixed reports but never been interested myself large crowds don't do anything for me.
