This song is so much better live than the original imo

[@asashwani]

Except for the guitar solo..

[@plexus]

Meh... lives good too... but I could listen to the original 10 times in a row. Now SEEING it live in person... there’s nothing like that.

[@pewukut]

As with everything Steven does. His live sound/production is always top notch.

[@tiuhti__]

I simply like the first solo better, which is why I prefer the album version (I usually prefer albums versions of any song for some reason)

[@BoilerBloodline]

Agreed…yet every great band plays their stuff better live. It’s incredible. That’s what separates the haves and the have nots.

[@6lillium]

Best live version of a song . ...ever.

[@robdaniel3211]

This or Comfortably Numb from Pink Floyd’s Pulse tour

[@sudayakhadka7208]

Deadhead - The Devin Townsend Project

[@daveubidia4979]

I totally agree with you

[@cooozful]

Absolutely!

[@jasonjenkins6373]

its not up there at all with the others you mentioned, but the sound engineer does a crazy job on the red rocks 2019 version of opeth - ghost of perdition. everything comes out so clean. drummer going hammer and tongs and everything else!

[@itypewithmykneecaps1]

Gavin Harrison’s drumming is just so damn clean. Guy is a monster.

[@asashwani]

A clean monster perhaps

[@asmitghosh6092]

He is extremely skilled but extremely reserved.

[@TheAsphyx666]

Now that Neil Peart is sadly gone, my favourite living drummer for sure. If you haven't heard it, his work with The Pineapple Thief is sublime and has elevated the band to a whole new level imho.

[@kevinlynch2248]

@@TheAsphyx666 It's difficult for me to put anyone above Danny Carey, but Gavin Harrison solidly holds down that spot right behind him.

[@SvenTviking]

You don’t get crap drummers in prog bands. Bill Bruford, Phil Collins, Neil Peart etc, etc.

[@bretmorris830]

Gavin's fills are incredible, Wesley's voice harmonizes beautifully with Wilson's and Edwin's bass grooves being more audible really make the live version a lot more enjoyable to me than the studio.

[@matter311]

I wish they did one more Album 8(

[@bretmorris830]

@@matter311 That's one thing I love and hate about progressive musicians, they're not afraid to branch out if they feel they're not improving as musicians. It's an admirable trait but DAMMIT JUST KEEP MAKING PORCUPINE TREE MUSIC!

[@matter311]

@@bretmorris830 Fear of a Blank Planet was my fave album. Haven't really been a fan of Wilsons solo stuff, At least we are getting a new Liquid Tension Experiment after 20 years!!!! I keep an eye on Gavins projects, Hope the other guys are still out there rockin.

[@Gravityys]

@@matter311 I'm only aware of Gavin's work with The Pineapple Thief and Iamthemorning, any other projects I should check out?

[@PHLCoffeeSnob]

@@matter311 Steven got tired of not having full creative control and he admitted he's too much of a jerk to listen to the input of extraordinary musicians such as Barbieri, Edwin, and Harrison

[@peteluxx]

Gavin Harrison on this song: Honestly, no words. I don't think I've ever seen or heard a better drum performance. Perfect is not even the right word.

[@texasnewt]

True.

[@nafeeahmed6191]

The drummer is one of the best ghost beat specialist.

[@blackesteyes1133]

Yeah the ghost notes in the last section of the song are phenomenal. Such finesse and control in Gavins playing, it blows my mind everytime.

[@rexahdar4199]

Up there in the stratosphere with Tool is Porcupine Tree. This is a sublime live performance that was fortunate to be captured for posterity. The heavens opened momentarily to allow music of the divine to lift us to a higher realm.

[@assaultk47]

What a beautiful comment :)

[@BoilerBloodline]

Yep…me too. I’m lucky enough to have seen both live. Absolute dominance of their specialties…in every way imaginable. Greatness…yet these days some person with a mic and a rhyme gets the airtime. That’s fine with me….plastic will eventually break, regardless of how much one likes it.

[@jasonjenkins6373]

seeing them both in may and november 2022! ill let you know but i like PT style more so i might be biased....

@@jasonjenkins6373 How was may? :)

[@jasonjenkins6373]

Im jealous and yet very happy for you :)

[@Rassalcon]

Lucky bastard XD

[@jordansbeard]

Only thing was that opeth was playing an acoustic album yes the encoré were nice. I saw both in nyc.

Missing your Porcupine Tree reactions, so rewatching the old ones. 🤷‍♂️

[@PianoDentist]

It's a wonderful thing seeing 2 people get such a kick out of music together. I don't know how many times I have watched this live video of Anesthetize. :)

[@felipecardenas1424]

Porcupine tree es impresionante ❤❤❤

[@deancook7804]

Since the death of Neil Peart of Rush, Gavin Harrison has become my favourite drummer. His timing and talent are truly awesome, and he deserves a place in the hall of fame as one of the top 3 drummers who ever lived.

[@illjumpiswear771]

absolutely one of the best songs ever written.

[@closeencounter1954]

Any song from the Anesthetize concert is incredible! Also, the concert from Chicago “Arriving Somewhere but not Here” is truly amazing! ❤️❤️

[@robertwatson6485]

Every time I see this performance I ask myself “how?” There are so many moving parts on that song? How the heck do they pull it off live? How do they even remember all the parts, and the order in which to play them, and not miss a single note or lyric? Just astounding.

[@The_blindpizzaguy1300]

Well I love porcupine tree in general so when I went to go see them in 2008 they played this and I was stunned by their remembrance of all the moving parts and the fast section with the insane double bass stuff Gavin missed the symbol and through the stick out into the crowd and I was like oh my God that section is so hard I couldn’t like fathom how he was even doing it to begin with.

[@SvenTviking]

Try listening to Genesis doing “Supper’s ready”.

[@jasonjenkins6373]

im a simp but its 3 songs mashed together. a 15minute dream theater looks more taxing as well, then if you cross over into jazz music what a nightmare that would be...

[@driverbwm]

By far, the absolute best PT song, in my opinion. I know others may argue that, but this is mine. Keep them coming. Thanks!!

[@bjhellstream]

Never get tired of this song. Pure magic. What a composition. And... THE DRUMS! The bass. The lyrics. The keyboards. The guitars. Did I mention THE DRUMS! GAVIN HARRISON!

[@chetthehoss]

Gavin is the Baskin & Robins of drumming. There are so many flavours that he mixes in. Absolutely mind blowing how he manages to bring out every nuance of the music he plays on. Simply a monumental talent.

[@aaohknsn]

Wow. This song is so good! How good is that drummer? The bass, the chorus, the transitions, the solo's. It's all great!

[@RushFan-2112]

The drummer, Gavin Harrison, is imo the best living rock drummer today (RIP Neil Peart).

[@smolsco7]

Its Gavin Harrison. Don't question his divine power

[@speranza4889]

Getting goosebumps everytime Steven Wilson music starts.

[@a4tdi140]

Porcupine Tree “Arriving Somewhere but not Here" , "Trains " "sound of muzak" "The Start Of Something Beautiful" great live

[@PHLCoffeeSnob]

Trains has to be live because the album version is VERY different

[@gnavarro1971]

Yeahhh

[@justinsane3909]

Hands down, the best reaction video I've ever seen. The popcorn of the song going off in your head means it spoke to you like it was supposed to. Don't stop here, you are on a musical journey with PT and Steven Wilson.

[@gfgarner1301]

This song is life-changing.

[@RCSkunkWorX]

A little fun fact @4:08 on the studio version, Alex Lifeson (of Rush) wrote the solo.

[@6lillium]

Everyone y suggesting Arriving Somewhere But Not Here....and it's a good one. But I would submit Way Out Of Here , and for a short song .....Halo.

[@PHLCoffeeSnob]

Halo from Chicago is a better version than Tilburg imo

[@Ramoono]

Agree, Arriving... is an incredible song, but that performance of Way Out of Here is just mad, and I'd even say Sentimental & Normal are incredible from that concert.

[@Harani66]

way out of here from Tilburg show

[@brad2403]

Man the drummer was showing out.He has great stick work and the fills were sick.The tone of his drums was on point,the pop of the toms and snare was insane.🔥

Another Porcupine Tree masterpiece absolutely excellent.

[@angelesguadarramarobinson7425]

I got to watch most of these live (not in tilburg) was my 3rd concert, absolutely mesmerizing.

[@Vaerdun]

PT fans are outstanding - they're mostly people who've been following them since (or close to) inception. They're one of the most underrated prog rock/metal bands in the world. Mikael Akerfeldt (of Opeth) - is very good friends with Steven Wilson (main brain behind the band & vocalist) who has produced (and performed) 3 Opeth albums also - has said in an interview that he never understood why PT weren't the biggest band in the world (well, we all know why)... Anyway, I am glad you liked the performance, it truly is unbelievable to see what these musicians can do LIVE. For some more PT songs: Arriving Somewhere But Not Here (live in Chicago) or HATESONG (live in Chicago); the latter will show you what Gavin Harrison (who by far is the most musically creative and skilfully incredible drummer of this generation - IMO) is really all about. Your jaw (most likely) will be on the floor after watching that song :) And on the "crazy fans" tangent; you should check NIGHTWISH (Ghost Love Score) live at Wacken 2013.- the band has "an army of fans" - literally :D

[@TricksyDK]

High end live musik at its best.... One of the best live conserts ever..marry journey & happy xmax from Denmark PS never stop being so happy..🤘😀❤️

Love your reactions. I felt the same way the first time I heard PT. Your reactions take me back. 😃

[@daniele_93]

This is one of the best live performance I've ever seen, and if it happens to not be the best it's only because the "The Start Of Something Beautiful" live is just magical.

[@holmike9]

yes!! twice is nice!! lol I keep watching your first reaction to this.

[@amanshelare719]

Ah yes, the rabbit hole of porcupine tree and Steven Wilson concert videos. Gavin Harrison is one sick drummer...and the second half of this song from 13:03, so extraordinarily beautiful I trip balls while vibing to it XD

[@malcolmrothery9861]

So happy to hear that SW has reformed PT. Now I must see them live.

[@Salmacis99]

You spoke the truth- Porcupine Tree is one of the GOATS!

[@77pointfive]

One of my favourite pieces from PT😻

[@iys6890]

This is a Masterpiece!!

[@Yong_Goh]

Porcupine Tree is what happens when you bunch together relentlessly serious and perfection seeking musicians who are masters of their craft... this is showing off in the best possible taste

[@tammysmith2553]

Saw this song performed live just a couple months ago. They just killed it!

[@ShaunNicolella]

Some of the finest musicians on the planet. I've been addicted to PT for years. Gavin Harrison 😍. As others have commented on here: Arriving somewhere but not here, live version. Do that one next. Soooo many other fantastic songs, really not a bad one exists. I really enjoyed watching your reaction to this song. "Game over"

[@cwo5716]

On a PT bender and just watched your reaction for at least the second time (also watched it when it was new). I think this is one of the greatest live performances ever recorded, and you guys get it. Great reaction!

Glad you both bought into Steven and his crew. The guy is a musical GENIUS who surrounds himself with elite level musicians. We are lucky to have him on Earth.

You have to check out the live version of their song "Hatesong", it becomes a pure awesome jam session. Gavin goes nuts on the drums, Colin kills it on the bass, and Steven really goes in on jamming with his guitar.

[@carlosrobertoramirezfuente2524]

I loved your reaction. It was so candid, his reaction is so authentic, it is as suprising as it would be listening Porcupine Tree to a first time listener. He reminded me the first time I listened to this GREAT band. Their music goes beyond beauty in so many ways it becomes difficult to describe. Wonderful video, guys.

[@kalimero86]

Great reaction, It was cool watching you enjoying all the segments and differents bits of awesomeness this performance has. And if you consider a suggestion, I recomend you to react to Porcupine Tree - Hatesong live in Chicago 2005, Gavin Harrison is out of this world in that performance. Cheers.

[@alienlifeform7490]

Lovely reaction. 🙏🌅🌟❤

[@patobravo6742]

Pedazo de tema

[@Kipex]

Like everyone else is suggesting: Arriving Somewhere But Not Here. Both album and live versions are amazing, but if I was to pick one, live certainly for a lot of the same reasons as Anesthetize. That said, I loved seeing her singing along with some knowledge of the song from the first studio reaction, and give credit to the great lyrics. The words are often straight to the point, but still so well written. Fear of a Blank Planet, Way Out of Here, Sound of Muzak, Open Car, .... list goes on and on. Oh and Gavin Harrison is indeed brilliant. Sure there are a lot of great technical drummers, but Gavin manages to make all of it serve the music and groove so well. He just has incredible musicality to his playing.

[@AlexLesmash]

no stops, just so many emotions from two beauties for this monument of humankind and music. pleasure to see and especially hear.

[@chrishood2793]

I've been on a steady diet of Porcupine Tree for almost a year, digesting everything and anything from them including Steven Wilsons solo work. If I were to go live on an island, was allowed 2 bands catalogs, it would be Porcupine Tree and Opeth.

"Hatesong" (live version OF COURSE) by Porcupine Tree if your interested in seeing Gavin Harisson at his full potential ;)

[@anttipikkusaari4855]

Exactly. In addition to performance, the 5.1 mix on bluray is awesome.

[@blppt]

People keep saying that, and I've watched it, but I still think this is the track you go to for the best example of Gavin's musicality. His drumlines are like melodies in themselves.

[@mattvsmetaverse]

Love this channel, man! Just raw appreciation for good music and, hands-down, the best reaction faces on the KZbinz. 😆As a long time PT fan, and Opeth, and Tool, and pretty much everything else you react to lol, you guys do the music hella justice. So, no worries there. Some fans are just gonna be negative cuz it's in their blood. 😛 The real OGs got your back. ✊ Looking forward to the next one!

The one time a live song kicks the ass of an original.

[@alihijazi4451]

Actually, the live version of Pushit from TOOL, is often taken as the "only" version of Pushit. It's a completely different take on the song, and it has a more mellow and beautiful sound than the album version. It's one of my personal favourite live performances ever.
