Aggie87 Posted February 6, 2010 Report Posted February 6, 2010 Not to those dates! Just Houston. Though if they keep adding a day here and a day there, they may get back to San Francisco too, so maybe I'll fly out and see 'em with ya! Quote

Aggie87 Posted February 21, 2010 Report Posted February 21, 2010 Porcupine Tree cover Neu! I love this cover! It's on the 2nd disc of the reissue of Signify (originally on the Insignificance release). Quote
BFrank Posted February 21, 2010 Report Posted February 21, 2010 Erik, I didn't realize it was a cover, but I like it, too! Quote
jazzbo Posted March 28, 2010 Report Posted March 28, 2010 (edited) Listening to "Fear of a Blank Planet" now. I've been buying Porcupine Tree cds the past few months. Shawn exposed me to them, and it was "Arriving Somewhere" that opened the door for me, that DVD gave me a great entryway. Of all the Steve Wilson material I've explored "Insurgentes" stands a shoulder above. I love that CD better than any PT yet, but I'm loving the PT. Thanks Shawn. Edited March 28, 2010 by jazzbo Quote
BFrank Posted April 22, 2010 Report Posted April 22, 2010 uhhhhhhhhhh, no? I did see that they played Coachella this past weekend, though. Quote
Aggie87 Posted April 22, 2010 Report Posted April 22, 2010 Houston tonight! Great show! Basically the same type of set as last fall - the first half is the entirety of The Incident, then a break, and then a second half with various tracks. The Incident sounded alot better to me than when I saw them in Philly. I think they're playing it all better, and I'm also more familiar with it by now. Great performance. Then the second half of the show was: The Start of Something Beautiful Russia on Ice Anesthetize Lazarus Strip the Soul/.3 Buying New Soul Bonnie the Cat The Sound of Muzak Trains The highlight for me was Buying New Soul. Great performance! Was nice to finally hear Lazarus live as well, though the keyboards were buried too far in the mix. All in all a great, energetic performance, good sound, and nice venue. Got to talk with all four of them after the show for a bit, and they seemed to be having a good time and enjoying this tour. My opinion of Gavin Harrison goes up every time I see him live. Go see 'em! Quote
jmjk Posted April 23, 2010 Report Posted April 23, 2010 Thanks, Aggie. Work brings me to Buffalo, NY on the exact evening of the show on May 4th! I plan on attending if my work/travel plans aren't cancelled. Quote
Shawn Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 Here is a clip from the upcoming "Anesthetize" concert video: Quote
Aggie87 Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 Thanks for sharing that, Shawn! I'm still as impressed with PT as I was in about '99 when I first discovered them in Germany. Though they've changed alot, they do what they do really well. The textures and the back and forth between light and heavy in that video are tough to pull off that well, I think. I'm really looking forward to the DVD. Ended up buying the deluxe edition, even though I don't own a Bluray player. It was the 2 cds that aren't available elsewhere that did it for me (Now watch, they'll release them separately). Quote
Shawn Posted May 12, 2010 Report Posted May 12, 2010 from Steven's Insurgentes album...same director as the new live video. Quote

BFrank Posted June 22, 2010 Report Posted June 22, 2010 The Warfield again? I might have to go..........again. I know the album much better now. I think it had only been out a few days last time they were here. Agggggg, San Antonio........they're gettin' close to you! Quote
Aggie87 Posted June 22, 2010 Report Posted June 22, 2010 Corpus Christi will be next. Then....my living room! Quote
Matthew Posted June 22, 2010 Report Posted June 22, 2010 Aug 12th Hollywood, CA – Hollywood Palladium. I'm seriously considering going to this one, PT are great in concert, the one I went to in Seattle was one of the best concerts I ever attended. It helped that I was five feet from the front-center of the stage. Quote
Matthew Posted June 22, 2010 Report Posted June 22, 2010 On another note: I'm starting to get interested in Opeth. Any thoughts on where is a good place to start? On a funny note: I was in Best Buy yesterday, and the "Manager's Special" was Chinese Democracy, on sale for $1.99, and the box was full to the brim -- I was almost tempted...:blush2: Quote
jazzbo Posted June 22, 2010 Report Posted June 22, 2010 (edited) I really like all the Steve Wilson produced Opeth. . . I'd recommend starting with the DVD "Lamentations" which was my intro to the band. SEEING them really helped. This is material from the Wilson albums. KILLER. Also a long documentary featurette of the band and Wilson in the studio. "Damnation" is probably my favorite album of Opeth's, but I'm liking all of them more and more.

Shawn Posted June 22, 2010 Report Posted June 22, 2010 (edited) I agree with Lon, start with the Lamentations video...it's cheap, it's got a nice cross-section of the Wilson albums (contractually that's all they could play for the video anyway) and the sound/video is excellent. It's a good way to get acclimated to their sound and you can really see how passionately they play their music. (Lamentations is available on Netflix instant streaming by the way) My favorite records are the two most recent; Ghost Reveries (2006) & Watershed (2008). But I've gotten to the point where I like all of them now. Edited June 22, 2010 by Shawn Quote
Matthew Posted June 22, 2010 Report Posted June 22, 2010 Thanks Lon & Shawn: Lamentations looks like the place to start, and maybe pick up one of the Wilson produced cds. Quote
BFrank Posted June 23, 2010 Report Posted June 23, 2010 Corpus Christi will be next. Then....my living room! If that happens - I'm coming DOWN! Quote
