Later, Paradise Lost, relatively unknown in the States, took the stage, were greeted with friendly interest, and won many new friends with songs like ‘Ember’s Fire’ and ‘As I Die’. Nick Holmes, incidentally, wasn’t impressed by the Forum: “It’s like being on tour – completely boring!” The highlight of the evening came last, in the form of Dream Theater. Even Nick Holmes admitted that Dream Theater was one of his favorites (as I drove back to the hotel, he was still sitting in front of the stage, playing an imaginary guitar solo).

Später kamen die in den Staaten relativ unbekannten Paradise Lost auf die Bühne, wurden mit freundlichem Interesse begrüßt und gewannen mit Songs wie ‘Ember’s Fire’ und ‘As I Die’ viele neuen Freunde. Nick Holmes war übrigens vom Forum nicht beeindruckt: „Das ist wie auf Tour - völlig öde!“ Der Höhepunkt des Abends kam zuletzt und zwar in Form von Dream Theater. Sogar Nick Holmes gab zu, daß Dream Theater zu seinen Faves gehören (als ich zurück zum Hotel fuhr, saß er immer noch vor der Bühne und spielte ein imaginäres Gitarrensolo).
