You're right, this is as tight as you can get and knowing this is a live performance with the highest quality that a studio version couldn't beat is just unbelievable.

Richard is irreplaceable. His musical sensibilities is about as unique as you could get.

[@VoxDeserta]

I could not agree more, trully a fundamental piece for their sound and mystique

[@Thewestslope]

FWIW, have two of Richard's earlier solo works and have just ordered another one. Plan on the getting the 2021 release later this year. It is great, multi-purpose music, ambient and get things done or listen actively and follow along. Black Dahlia off the The Incident, written by Richard, is a favourite.

Just bought the CD of that live gig..been watching it on a DVD for years. Now have the double CD, and the blue ray ❤🔥

[@blppt]

I have to agree. I tried to get into their other stuff, but other than a few of their tracks (also performed at this show, like Way out of Here, Drown with Me, and the title track from this album), I just can't get into their lighter stuff. Which is apparently the majority of the Steven Wilson experience---this is apparently unusually heavy for his writing.

I've spent many days listening this song on loop for hours and still am not bored of it. We can't call this a masterpiece because its more than that!!!!This is a seventeen minute single and feels like got over soooo early My english isnt that good btw so ignore if ive made any errors I found this band tooo late in 2021 but now I am happy to discover such precious songs by them.

The term music 'artist' is based on Porcupine Tree!! Keeping it together, no bum notes, dropping sticks etc, in a live performance can be difficult in a 3 - 4 minute song, but to play perfectly with no hiccups for 17 minutes, wow.

[@northtimo666]

So focused.

[@RCSkunkWorX]

A little fun fact @<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="248">4:08</a> on the studio version, Alex Lifeson (of Rush) wrote and does the solo.

[@troy1162]

You know when your good that you actually sound better live than on the actual album ... stunning band

[@leizorkei]

The song of every moment in my life all the time

[@LockedAlx]

To know that maybe I will be able to see them live again is comforting

[@ulrikemayer6911]

It is so fascinating watching them being totaly in the music. I love the bass player smiling all the time. This band is one of the best things ever happened in my life !!!

[@sylviasmother7124]

Caught them Friday night in Toronto.....blistering.....brilliant!

[@charlesnolan7602]

I saw the " Fear of a Blank Planet" tour in Philadelphia at the Electric Factory during Summer, 2008. Excellent concert! Anethsitize was Brilliant- a show highlight!

[@iksilva]

A true masterpiece and one of my favorite songs of all time! Gavin Harrison displays his great drumming skills

[@danielarias8835]

whos here because HARRIDAN make us feel alive again with this magnificent band?

[@DaveDeRhodes]

Oh yeah my brother of PT!

[@jofvenom]

absolutely

[@yodaonfire]

That's 17 minutes 31 seconds of music that transcends mere emotion.

[@SinisterSkip]

One of the most colorful, melodic, inspirational yet super-song-supporting, musical drummers of alltime man. Gavin Harrison is the full package

[@gerardispunk]

Gavin Harrison is a legend. I'm a bassist but watching him playing drums inspires me so much. No missing notes no missing moves and he is always so creative. God bless this man.

[@KostasSicko]

brilliant musicians.. each one of them and as a whole

[@omairsh8]

These guys are more than the sum of their parts together. This is where they created their best music. Incredible chemistry

[@monkeywrench4166]

Holy shit by far the best version I've seen yet

[@stokepablo]

quite possibly my most favourite piece of art, tears every time

[@laurentlemoing6338]

Another epic masterpiece by Porcupine Tree/Steve Wilson. One of my favorite song, what a performance, these band is incredible. Gavin the drummer is a beast, with the finesse.

[@jerryharmon668]

I must have been living in a cave....first time today that I listened to this group. I am a drummer...of sorts... and Gavin can play, as a Pink Floyd fan these guys have renewed my hopes of that style of long tacks with some great stoner qualities. Awesome

[@BomimoDK]

wait til you find Opeth or Storm Corrosion

[@Sandkasten36]

Check out Octavarium, Breaking all Illusions or The Odyssey (if you're already into heavier stuff). For me there was only Pink Floyd since the age of 12. Until a friend of mine introduced me to Dream Theater.

[@jerryharmon668]

@@Sandkasten36 Thanks for reply, I am also big fan of Dream Theater. Been taking lessons on line from Gavin for about 6 months.

[@ThermaL-ty7bw]

holy crap , never fire the sound engineer who did his little magic on this recording ... this might be the best sound i've ever heard in my 42 year of life , it sounds better then 99% of the entire sound library in the world ... nice composition too , not as predictable as most songs ... can't believe this is a life recording , great sound

[@burkaydokuyucu4284]

Steven Wilson is the best live performer alive for his genre.

[@JoelOsee92]

The best live performance I’ve ever seen.

[@IDBuzzSteve]

Seconded! I didn’t think I’d ever see anything knock Pink Floyds Pulse off my No.1 spot in my lifetime. Stunned.

One of the must beautiful song on the world

[@emptycloud2774]

This was the album that hooked me in forever. Lightbulb Sun set me up, which was my first introduction to the band.

[@johnnythafox]

this masterpiece was confirmed for this year's tour, can't wait to experience it

[@dylansantos5958]

Enjoy it for me, buddy

[@doctordrummerdude]

And it was fantastic in Chicago!

[@bernardgigot4177]

This song is hypnotic , absolutely perfect. If you love this kind of music,listen to Pain of Salvation...you will enjoy it too

[@gillywibble]

This is art.

[@ThReverend6661]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="248">4:08</a> the ghost note build up right there is probably the most tasteful piece of drumming i’ve ever heard.

[@majormercator]

The ending section is one of the most beautiful pieces of music. The correlation between the lyrical content and the vocals overlapping in waves is so powerful. And I’m not even much of a lyrics guy.

[@sohamdasgupta969]

Yes yes, these are available at HD now, what more do you need

[@marieJmarsham]

15 years later and the music still stands 🎶 🎸

[@GustavoRafaelZelener]

Progressive rock on a superior way displayed by Porcupine Tree. Bravo!!!!!!!!

[@leonardowelles5580]

I love Richard's smile at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="541">9:01</a> after the ridiculous fill from Gavin

[@Sixdramaticsystemsfromamemory]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="602">10:02</a> tears always come to my eyes. such a beautiful and heartbreaking moment. True perfectuon in music.

[@filosofoneysarrandoanitta341]

I thought it was just me who had tears in that moment. Richard Barbieri's solos are always very emotional. Though, Steven did crap invading his solo with a lead guitar totally unnecessary in this concert.

[@Sixdramaticsystemsfromamemory]

@@filosofoneysarrandoanitta341 I agree with you about the interuption. It would be much more fitting to leave it as it was played origanally. Just makes it that tad more emotional.

[@filosofoneysarrandoanitta341]

@@Sixdramaticsystemsfromamemory , have you ever been in a concert of Porcupine Tree? It's sad they never came here, in Brazil...

[@Sixdramaticsystemsfromamemory]

@@filosofoneysarrandoanitta341 I sadly have not. I was going to see them last tour, but i ended up not being able to go. They said they've stopped touring completely too so it's even more sad now.

@@Sixdramaticsystemsfromamemory , I didn't know about that fact. It's so soon for them to stop touring. What the hell these guys have in mind?
