Tech Notes "Notes:
After the Tia Carrera set (though I missed the encore) I ran off to the Bat Cave to be sure to get a good spot for Year of No Light (which was really good because they started 20-25 minutes ahead of schedule). There aren't really any good spots for taping in the Bat Cave and you're always surrounded by people, and people talk. This time I got the feeling a big part of the audience were French fans. I didn't see or hear them any other time but there they were, and they were loud. Luckily the band was too.

Dirk a.k.a. Fear Falls Burning a.k.a. Vidna Obmana was sitting down at the right sida behind some speakers looking at the audience. I wondered who he was but then when he joined them for the last song I rememberd :)

Dirk later wrote this in his blog:
Year of No Light invited me to join them on stage for the last song, a sort of re-interpretation of our collab piece. It surely surpassed my wildest expectation as what we created was overpowering, interesting and dynamic. Really enjoyed it and I firmly believed the audience did too, judging from their enthusiastic response.
But overall what a festival it was again. Incredible atmosphere, nice audience and a very good organisation (thanks Walter!). Highlights of the day were for me personally Jesu, not that many people will agree (yes a stripped-down version as Justin did it this time alone, I liked it since it accentuated the harmonic and utterly beautiful quality of Jesu's music) and most of all a very impressive Cult of Luna on the main stage. Incredible performance, stage appearance and dynamic lighting. Epic to say the least."
