Steven Wilson, Nine Cats, Dec. 2018

[@Brytons_Thoughts]

Absolutely unreal. This has to be the first time he's played this in over two decades. What a privileged group of people in that room!

[@cerojase]

Nop theres a live version recorded in an record store 😉

[@loud6037]

I didn't realise this was an obscure song. It's one of my favourites and one of the first PT songs I heard. It's such a cool song, he should play it more often!

[@JimBobele]

Mine too, chessgmvid made a great video of this song

[@louisjamin7195]

Same here : I love this song, amazingly haunting. Love to hear it and to sing it :)

[@loud6037]

@@louisjamin7195 oh, you brought me back to it. Thank you, I needed this song today 😊

[@TFFgeek]

Fun fact: This song actually dates back to his band Karma, mid 80's. Interestingly, that version, which runs over 10 minutes, is actually a combo of what later became 'The nostagia factory' and, dûh, 'nine cats'. The caterpillar from 'The Nostalgia Factory' that 'turns into a butterfly', is 'the butterfly that sailed on a breeze' in Nine Cats. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6CXYXmFqNifis0 16:36 for those interested.

Thank you for sharing this, it’s wonderful to discover where it all started!

[@valkyriakay]

omg

[@russelltaylor3630]

Bro iv been searching for this version for so long

[@LosBarracudos]

So surreal, i didn't expect to ever see this one performed live. Thanks for recording and sharing!

[@PhilSimon]

One of my faves. I like the acoustic version more than the studio one.

[@jakewoods609]

Never delete this

[@Terrorhase1101]

Such a beautifull piece. One of my favoutites tbh. This man is so versatile in his song writing, it is unreal. He always manages to touch you musically

1:55 the first time I‘ve ever heard a false live by Steven Wilson.

[@klistiranikrupije1724]

SW is a prog minstrel of the 22nd century. He's an artist of the future days to come.

[@wellwhatsgoingonhere]

I never thought I would hear THIS live!

[@sarojdhaubanja3960]

I first discovered this song when I was exploring the Stars die: the delerium years '91-97 album. Absolutely loved the song and felt nostalgic the very first time I listened to the song.

[@sissar9278]

His voice is getting better and better over the years. I love his music.

[@sacation6057]

One of my favourite PT songs, didn't expect to find such a recent live version of it!

[@yumeN0dengon]

Oh shit, how am I only seeing this now? One of my favorite PT songs... Thank you so much for having the presence of mind to capture this! I like both versions but I wish they'd played the non acoustic one as a band at least once though. Could've been amazing.

[@nunotavares121]

One of my favourite songs by Porcupine Tree.

[@monikajohnson2893]

I saw him so many years ago and don't know if he played that song almost 20 years ago. Can't wait till September to finally see him again. It's been way to long. I think he changed alot of our lives. Most definitely mine.

[@lamecasuelas2]

Some of His songs work really work with the Stripped down arrangements. There's Also a wonderful acoustic versión of Stars die

[@monikajohnson2893]

I love that song. ❤

[@TheStudnfunk666]

Thanks for uploading it... Have always looked for a live version of this...

[@MrAlanCBrown]

Thanks for posting this song rekindled my love of playing acoustic! Al

[@horhshubham]

If this is obscure then everything is obscure in this world..

[@rocioortiz5889]

Amazing!!! SW is a genius 😊💕 Thank you for sharing 🙂

[@aheendwhz1]

Lol, the lyrics are better than a lot of the songs Steven Wilson wrote

[@Whysonotmix]

Can anyone tell me the chourds ?

[@jcisternas]

Am D F Em Chorus: C G Am F

[@sacation6057]

those don't seem to be the right chords right? when looking at his hands i can't find the right chords to play, he is playing at around fret 7 but which variation?...

[@louisjamin7195]

@@sacation6057 It's another way to play Am (with an added sus2 flavor) : from lower string to higher 0 0 7 5 0 0. Beautiful sounding chord :)

[@spiffykun]

for the record the studio version seems to be played with capo on 2nd. here, however ive no idea but im pretty sure there's plenty of vids on it
