Official Porcupine Tree Thread

Thank you for your report!

Great you enjoyed it so much. I can imagine Anesthetize live is breathtaking

I don't have yet a chance to see them live so at least I am waiting for the new DVD which should be out this year, probably in April 2010.

Here are two setlists from two concerts where they recorded the DVD:
1. Porcupine Tree Concert Setlist 013, Tilburg, Netherlands 2008 | setlist.fm
2. Porcupine Tree Concert Setlist 013, Tilburg, Netherlands 2008 | setlist.fm

So for sure the DVD will be all songs from FOABP and some others...
I guess there will be Normal, Stars die and Sever because these 3 songs were played on both setlists

@DiSTANToblivion, maybe Sever is the third old song from your list?

I think you're right about 'Sever' - it's a pity they never played the whole 'Anesthetize' but it was still amazing. Looking forward to that DVD.

People were calling out song names all through the gig and Steven Wilson was very funny when he said back "While I love the time honoured tradition of calling out songs.... there is something that every musician has and it's called a set-list" hahaha (and what a set-list it was. I honestly wasn't blown away after I heard The Incident for the first time but it grew on me. After seeing it performed live completely it's safe to say I see it in a whole new light. The video accompaniments to the music were perfect too.

Petula07 · 02-09-2010, 09:21 AM

Hmm, I hope on DVD will be full Anesthetize! If not, I will be really sad

As I wrote now in my second shout on your Last.fm, I am PT fan only for 5 months so for me all albums were new.
And I can tell you I love The Incident. It was very very interesting to listen to all discography and to see so big difference between On the Sunday of life and The Incident.
I admire diversity of S. Wilson. I am also into pop-rock so I love Blackfield too although I understand why its boring for somebody.
But for example... Lazarus and Russia on ice are so different tracks but both so lovely! He can make hard heavy music but also nice sweet melodies and this is something what perfectly fits to me. Really great band!

I'm waiting for The Incident to arrive.

Good!

And did you try all other albums that we recommended?

If not, The Incident is probably hard or boring listening for beginners...

mrguy · 02-27-2010, 03:46 AM

I have a copy of deadwing now, and I listened to the others on YouTube.

I saw it for half price. I had to get it

Petula07 · 02-27-2010, 04:14 AM

I understand

So I hope you will like The Incident.
I love it but I know lot of fans somehow didn't get into this album and they think it's boring.
So when you will get it I recommend to listen to it all from the first to last track in order how it is recorded. Personally for me it's a nonsence to shuffle this album or to play only some songs from this.
Hehe, yes, I shuffle some other albums or I play sometimes only my loved songs. But I don't do it with The Incident.

mrguy · 02-27-2010, 01:54 PM

I think every album deserves to be listened to in it's entirity at least 3 times. The first 2/3 times it can be boring/crap. But after a bit (esp. With PT) the albums get amazing. It always take me several listens to get into an album (unless it's some catchy/poppy ****).

Petula07 · 02-28-2010, 04:17 AM

Yes, it's true. I also need at least 3 times and with some bands more.
But somehow for me it was easy to get into Porcupine Tree

mrguy · 02-28-2010, 05:40 PM

Well, I usually find the albums that have the most "life" are the hardest to get into for me.
