I'm not sure if his rants change topics or not, but the making fun of young people for not knowing a guitar was kind of funny.  Maybe if he ranted on something else that I'd be more annoyed.  It did seem like it was more of a comedic rant vs. serious though so I thought it all came up fine.

As for trying to open with a different song... how do you know that?  Is it because they had issues with the opening video?  They actually played the audio and there was no video which lead to a lot of WTF? from the crowd before they restarted the show and the video projection worked.  I loved it because I love that sort of spontaneity at a concert.  Also Steven apologized for the rough start later in the set  :lol

Oh, I just know they opened that particular show in Denver with To the Bone because I found myself watching the intro video, recorded at that show, on Facebook the other day. The video went on long enough for the first song to have started. I don't know why they chose to open with To the Bone that night, all I know is why they originally stopped playing it as the regular opener.

Going back to the intro video on Facebook, I was amazed how engaged the US audience was in all the headings that appeared. The audience in the UK was silent throughout each of the four shows I attended, save for the first scientology reference where there was a brief titter each time :lol

oh  :lol yea, well I found the intro video to be pretty interesting and definitely something that would cause a reaction, positive or negative.  I felt it definitely drew out some sort of emotion so I didn't think it odd at all to see the audience engaged.

I found the intro (if it's still the same now as in February) totally genius. So easy, but it makes you think.

Can anyone who’s seen the US run give an update on the merch they’ve got? Basic prices too if known?  :tup

It's very well done, isn't it? Love the music in the background. Does anyone know if it's a published piece?

Thanks for sharing the interview. Interesting that Gavin played drum tracks on "To The Bone" but those tracks weren't used. Good to know that they're still friends.

Honestly, I am happy he didn't use Harrison on To the Bone.  Harrison is a great player, but is a little too busy at times and his tendency to overplay can be a bit frustrating.  I can simply point to the live rendition of Hatesong from the Octane Twisted live album which he singlehandedly destroyed by overplaying the crap out of it and failing to capture the groove of the original.

I personally love Harrison, I wish he was still with SW. I thought that Marco overplayed more than Gavin.

I realize that this is a PT question rather than a SW question, but I was wondering if someone could clear something up for me.

One of my favorite songs from PT is Drown with Me. Is the phrase drown with me some sort of english slang? I've always assumed that it had something to do with drinking alcohol, but I've never really been sure.

It's not commonly used, no. I'm in no position to delve into any possible meaning of it. It's just words set to truly incredible music.

I was just thinking that with SW's music there are almost always instances that I prefer songs left off to some on the album.

In Absentia is a great example of that; if Drown with Me and Chloroform were on the album they would have been the two best tracks.

No, it isn't slang. I'm not sure what inspired the question – the lyric fits with the serial killer theme used in other songs like Blackest Eyes, Lips of Ashes and Strip the Soul, even reprising phrases from them (gave away the books from Blackest Eyes, unwinding the coil from Gravity Eyelids, etc.).

Great interview with SW, including some rarely asked questions: https://fabriziopedrotti.com/2018/05/22/steven-wilson-every-time-i-go-on-stage-i-can-get-shot/

The DVD/Bluray is called Steven Wilson’s Home Invasion – Live at the Royal Albert Hall and will be released in Oct/Nov, but we'll have to wait a few more years for the IA and Deadwing reissues, because there'll be tons of extras and SW has to do a whole lot of compiling.

Confirmation that the upcoming blu-ray will feature additional songs recorded in an empty RAH:

"For those of you who haven’t been able to see the To the Bone tour in the flesh, or if you have but just want to see it again in the comfort of your own home, the Royal Albert Hall concert film is being edited and mixed as we speak. It will include the whole of the third night’s performance in this beautiful venue, as well as some extra songs not included in the gig set list that were filmed earlier in the day in an empty venue. Official announcements on title, contents and formats coming soon."

This seems to be a bit of a trend - Rush had a soundcheck recording of Limelight on the Clockwork Angels Tour DVD, and Sabbath included some live-in-studio material on The End.

This could indeed be interesting, as "other artists" have already proven ..



But since this seems to be "only" soundcheck recordings, I am way more hyped for the real concert!

Have the 2018 re-issues on CD of Deadwing and In Absentia been officially released?
Reason I ask is my local indie metal store has them on their website for sale.
I even went down to the store to check them, the sticker on the digipaks mentioned nothing about any remastering though.

I have the new ones on vinyl, the old ones on CD. So I can't really compare them, sorry  :(
I am not the most audiophile guy, but to my ears they sound just as good as everything Steven does...

I believe they are just straight reissues under the Kscope umbrella since they just bought the rights to those album. In a recent interview, Wilson said that the remasters will be released in 2-3 years with a lot of material.

Yeah disappointing those bonus tracks were omitted.
But I can see future releases or box set with them on the vinyls.
