Well, I must cancel my ProgDay adventure. I have hit a credit card snafu and won't be able to rent a car in Charlotte. Have a great time, everyone!

Family misfortune! My ticket shall not be used.
Just for the record...when Brett, Paul, and Ray played as a trio at Progscape they did not have a name for the band yet. They came out in ski masks and had themselves announced on the fly as "The Luther Vandross Trio". And, they were not announced as performing prior to the day of the festival, and were most certainly not represented as echolyn, nor announced as such by Chris Lamka.
IIRC they played the song As The World (entreating attendee Chris Buzby to join them onstage...an odd idea at the time), and I think one other short echolyn tune, but the rest was new material...played to a wildly unenthusiastic audience :-)
As for Progday 2014...I'm sorry I missed it (and thanks everyone for inquiring about my whereabouts. Heh.). I had to have surgery for 2 hernias and couldn't make it. Hope everyone had a great time. Werbinox and I will be back next year!

Well, did some formation of the Echolyn guys play at both Progscapes? Because I know I saw them do a full Echolyn set at a Progscape, and they were giving out promo AtW singles and all excited about AtW. I'm pretty sure this was at the first Progscape, where Discipline also played the last slot.
ProgScape '94 (November) had Echolyn - played all of Suite for Everyman as I recall, plus stuff off the new album; new album was not released until following February or March (they were playing shows in MI at the time of the official release). They were giving out the sampler CD.
ProgScape '96 (summer) was Brett, Ray & Paul as Still (not announced prior, but I believe they used the Still name sometime during the performance). Their set seemed to go over fairly well, with the awkward moment when Chris Buzby disappeared from the auditorium.
YouTube will reveal all:
