I Went to NEARfest in 2003 and it was a magical experience. Got to meet some very cool people that I'm still friends with today, buy Roger Dean an orange juice and rap with him for quite a bit about the architectural projects he was doing at the time...heard some amazing music and bought around 1,000 CDs I never would have found anywhere. I don't remember sleeping much.
As mentioned, here were at least some of the bands...just an incredible lineup. Hats off to Rob and Chad and Kev for working their asses off to make these events happen.
Camel, Magma, The Flower Kings, Änglagård, Kraan, Tunnels, Glass Hammer, Alamaailman Vasarat, High Wheel, and Sleepytime Gorilla Museum
(The Laser's Edge/Cuneiform Records Preshow: Miriodor, Woodenhead, and IZZ)
