Notes:

CAP was the first band to play indoors in the history of ProgDay. After House of Usher and Equinox played outdoors on Saturday at the traditional location of Storybook Farm, hurricane Dennis rolled in and forced the rest of ProgDay '99 to be held at the backup venue, the Cats Cradle nightclub. There was a lengthy break between bands as the entire festival was moved on the fly to the new location, and then CAP took the stage in the early evening.

They were probably the biggest hit of the festival that year. After their set people flocked to their merchandise table to buy CDs.
