A little bit of PT history here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQ6AvMYRIVQIt popped up in my YT feed.
I
totally remember watching this when it aired, in 1997
It was so random...just to give you some context, this was a daily TV show, airing in the early afternoon. The host wasn't the best thing, but you had to give him credit - he did try, at the time, to talk about music that wasn't just 100% mainstream and, importantly, had live performances on the show, which wasn't so obvious on Italian afternoon TV
The whole show had a bit of a DIY approach, which made it somewhat charming...
Had no clue who Porcupine Tree was, so this literally was my introduction to them. Looking at the date, I believe they had just played their shows in Rome that ended up being recorded for the Coma Divine live record. As it turns out, they had quite a following there before they became generally more known.
Anyway, this is pretty vintage Porcupine Tree and their performance here definitely intrigued the 20-year old me. Especially songs like Signify and Dislocated Day, with their cool drumming and such. Kinda funny to see a young Steven Wilson in this setting...
Some kind soul put time-stamps for the songs in the comments, so it's easier to enjoy this without going through the whole broadcast.
