Porcupine Tree v. Glarung is a Lightbulb

[Pockets17red]

I don't know if anyone else heard anything about this, but later this year, around Autumn, Kscope will be releasing a 2CD/DVD package called "Porcupine Tree - Live."
From what I have heard, the DVD will be of the show in Chicago where they played the whole "The Incident" song and the 2 CDs will be of the Royal Albert Hall concert. The Chicago show was filmed with a low budget (was possibly just going to be for private reference) so that's why I'm guessing there will not be a Blu-Ray and the Royal Albert Hall concert had the audio from the soundboard recorded.

More interested in the second one (since I couldn't attend the anniversary gigs) but really excited never the less.

Also, while I don't think so myself, conspirators might argue that this is another indication on the end of PT, releasing a double PT-live album that covers a big part of their catalog.

Steven already said that Porcupine Tree will be getting back together after Steven's 3rd solo album, but when that is exactly is still not set in stone, I would guess sometime in 2013.

[TioJorge]

Meh. There's too much Incident for me to care all that much, but there are some interesting songs in that setlist that could be fun to watch. I don't think I'd pay for this though. I really just wish The Incident would go away and never be heard from again.

[skydivingninja]

The only thing both setlists need is Buying New Soul in the Chicago set.  I'll definitely drop money on this.

[KevShmev]

So long as the quality of the DVD is good, I'll be happy.  I rarely listen to live CDs, so my interest in the Royal Albert Hall thing is limited; still miffed that they didn't record that for a live Blu-Ray and DVD release. 

And the more Incident, the better!

Steven said since it was their first time playing such a huge venue, having it recorded would have made them too nervous, and he didn't want to have it visually recorded and it was way expensive.
It would have been nice though, but I suspect it won't be their last time playing the Royal Albert Hall and Radio City Music Hall.

Yeah I know, but that's why I added "the conspirators might say"

[adace]

Will be buying both the solo and PT DVDs.

I feel like I'm the exact opposite 

[Zantera]

Yeah same. While I appreciate DVD's, I rarely find the time to watch them. Don't get me wrong, I love the live aspect of music, but it's not the same for me to see it on my TV then seeing it live. If I really want to, I might watch a music DVD. With a live CD however, the same problem doesn't exist. I can listen to it pretty much when I feel like it, being busy with other things is no object because it doesn't require me to sit down for 2 hours and watch the screen.

What's the Ulver thingie down left??

[Zantera]

Roadburn EP? Possibly.

[ZBomber]

I too rarely watch live DVDs, but Anesthetize is probably one of my most watched concert films, so I will not hesitate for a second picking this up (especially since I  didn't get to see The Incident live because they scrapped the idea to play the older gems at the Radio City show instead).

I was hoping RCMH would be chosen for the live CD, but RAH was the same setlist + Trains.... can't complain!

[Sigz]

What's the Ulver thingie down left??

According to wiki they have an EP coming this year

[jag66]

Stoked for the royal albert hall release, mainly cos I went to it 
But it would be great to see hear some of the rarer footage and of course relive the experience.

[Sketchy]

^ What Jag said.

It was a damn good gig.

[Nick]

Nice. Love The Incident and was at the RCMH gig (same set minus Trains), and so I'm REALLY looking forward to this.

After being a very very, casual fan of PT for many years yet owning some of their albums, I have never really had the patience to sit down and really pay close attention to their material, nothing really grabbed me initially,  they are finally opening themselves up to me, and I am very open to their style which I am not usually a fan of. 

I am finding them absolutely incredible the more I delve into their albums.  Songs like The Sound of Muzak, Trains, Arriving, Blackest Eyes, Even Less, Layby, Something Beautiful etc. I now just find amazing, and discovering this band more and more is a very exciting experience.  The sounds and atmosphere Steven Wilson creates with his music is incredible.

Edit:  Where can you get all PT's bonus tracks on cd?  Looking into them more it seems there is quite a few bonus tracks.  I have ordered Recordings but songs like Futile, Mother and Child Divided, Drown With Me etc.  Some of the tracks only seem to be available on DVD-A for some reason.

[Heretic]

That's basically how it happened with me. I didn't find them that amazing at first, but now I love them so much. Have you listened to Fear of a Blank Planet yet?

yes, both "Revenant" and "Mother and Child Divided" studio versions are only on the Deadwing DVD-A (though both are featured on the Arriving Somewhere releases too).

otherwise, the Futile EP collects most of the In Absentia b-sides and is a download on Burning Shed (except "Meantime", which they also sell as a download), there are two more Deadwing b-sides on the Lazarus single, and the Nil Recurring EP.

[wolfking]

Thanks mate, I might have to check out those EP's.  Yeah I know about the DVD, I was trying to figure out where those songs came from, and no wonder I couldn't find them on a studio release.

I wish there was a Arriving Somewhere CD, great show.

[?]

I'm a pretty new PT fan, I've yet to hear Sunday, SMS, Stupid Dream and The Incident. I already think FOABP is one of the greatest albums I've ever heard (Anesthetize being one of my favorite songs as well) and the others are starting to click after some listening. I'm surprised I didn't check them out earlier but as some say: "better late than never"!

[The King in Crimson]

Thanks mate, I might have to check out those EP's.  Yeah I know about the DVD, I was trying to figure out where those songs came from, and no wonder I couldn't find them on a studio release.

Nil Recurring is awesome and definitely worth the purchase.

This guy knows his shit.

See the peanut?

[wolfking]

Holy shit, A Smart Kid is fucking incredible!!

[seasonsinthesky]

I wish there was a Arriving Somewhere CD, great show.

there is a download version of the soundtrack (in FLAC or MP3) at Burning Shed. that's the closest we'll get!

[Jirpo]

Holy shit, A Smart Kid is fucking incredible!!

Yeah! Great song.

Awesome, thanks, will be looking into that.

[FlyingBIZKIT]

I think Stranger By The Minute is my favorite from Stupid Dream

[Heretic]

I think Stranger By The Minute is my favorite from Stupid Dream

definitely one of my favorites as well!

[wolfking]

I think Stranger By The Minute is my favorite from Stupid Dream

That one is definitely growing on me also.  It could be my fourth fav after Even Less, Don't Hate me and A Smart Kid has jumped straight into the top 3. 

Listening to The Start of Something Beautiful now.  Amazing, definitely second best after Arriving.

[Jirpo]

My faves from Stupid Dream are probably the last 4. Arriving and Mellotron are my fave from Deadwing followed by Lazarus and the title track.

[wolfking]

Yeah, the last 4 are awesome, Tinto Brass is killer.

[Mladen]

I'm not that crazy about the last four songs on Stupid dream, especially the last two. The album starts amazingly, but kinda drags towards the end. Am I the only one who prefers Lightbulb sun?
