Proto-Kaw | PFM | Wobbler | Frogg Café | Steve Roach (spotlight artist) | Present | Alon (Special Guest) | IQ | Knight Area | The Muffins | Matthew Parmenter (Spotlight Artist) | Kenso | Le Orme | Back To Main Gallery    Mark Smit (lead vocals)  Joop Klazinga (keyboards, flute, vocals)  Gerben Klazinga (keyboards)  Mark Vermuele (guitars)  Gjs Koopman (bass)  Pieter Van Hoorn (drums, percussion)  Rinie Huigen (keyboards, guitars)  Guest vocals from (I believe) Stephanie LaGrande  Though the music is the main Knight Area at NEARfest story; a part of it is Smit's costume changes. He started out in a white tee-shirt...  ... then changed to a red sleeveless one (and all this time I'm thinking of Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson... maybe it was the hair...)  ... then it was black (actually, a black version of the white tee-shirt, flames on the shoulder 'n' all)...  ... then finally into all white (shirt, pants, and jacket...)... Sure, costume changes have been a part of prog (e.g., Peter Gabriel)... and Peter Nicholls of IQ had made a few clothing changes during their set... but no around me chuckled then...   Vermuele changed shirts, too later in the set... I didn't document the change.    © 2005 Stephanie Sollow  © Copyright 1999, 2005 ProgressiveWorld.netPhotographs © Stephanie Sollow | |
