The headliners were Arena, the bassist spot filled by one-time member John Jowitt as Ian Salmon couldn't make it: Above: Rob Sowden and John Mitchell

Mitchell again, lost in a guitar solo (in a bad photo made less bad with some Photoshop adjusting...)

Sowden singing "(Don't Forget To) Breathe"... hat n' all...

This and the next two were shots that I especially liked and seemed to do well even at their "normal" size... (though, the first shot above ain't too bad, either)

Here's Jowitt... most of the material was from his era...

And here's a shot very much fiddled with in Photoshop to bring out (sorta) some of the details...

Thank you and goodnight

Yes, Mick Pointer was there, too, but sadly my pics were nothing but blurry shots of the kit.

And thus ends Day Zero - the pre-show - of ROSfest 2005.
