I just watched the replay in the stream. What an underwhelming rendition of Regret #9. Marco's replacement is not up to snuff. And I hate how they forgot that what made Regret #9 great musically are the moments of gradual buildup to climaxes. Here the guitar solo just hit the high notes way too early. And the keys were all over the place, it did not build-up to the guitar solo.

Really disappointed.

The live stream was wonderful  :hefdaddy

Loved the new version of Index with DAT explosion of noise and The Watchmaker video/light show were stunning. I almost crapped my pants in the outro.

Other than that, Craig should chill a bit, some of those drum fills are completely unnecessary, but I get him, he's just having fun. Great show overall!

Yeah, just watched a portion of the stream. And although I know it's near impossible to replace Guthrie and/or Marco, I must say I'm surprised about the style of players Steven has chosen. Both are totally different type of players, but you can hear they somehow try to imitate the original touring player.

I must say that if there is to be a Blu Ray release, I'll only buy it with the Europe band. No offense of course to the two new guys, I wouldn't want to be in their shoes.

I woke up and started watching the stream in the middle of Ancestral. Unfortunately the stream died right before The Watchmaker, but I was able to watch the rest of the show afterwards. I thought the substitute players fit in alright, but of course they can't beat the original band. That commercial break was fun! :lol I also agree with SW on the "sad vs happy music" issue.

BTW, I wrote a review of HCE yesterday: https://echotester.blogspot.com/2015/06/steven-wilson-hand-cannot-erase-2015.html I know SW has said he hates how everyone can write a review these days, but I swear I'm at least slightly better at writing than that 12-year-old kid from Utah. :lol

Well, that was amazing to watch. So good memories from a few months ago. The band truly cannot be replaced ( :lol) but they did really good job, especially the drummer!

I'm in love.  :hefdaddy

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

Happened to turn this on earlier today and Raven was playing. Perfect. Looped  back to the beginning and had just enough time to relive this incredible tour.

Found a way to record it from my computer, did it 2.5 times so I can splice it together and avoid any buffering issues. Can't wait to watch it!

Damn man. A perfect show. Took my bro with me who had a passing familiarity with SW, he's totally converted.


Lots of brilliant moments but Ancestral really put everything in the dirt, damn did that track slay, and there perfect segue into Happy Returns was perfect, a tear inducing moment for sure.

I love how during Ancestral there's almost no light show at all, and the focus is on the band. The dynamics in that tune make it great to witness live, and fun. Nick Beggs was goin' crazy.

I watched the entire show, it was definitely enjoyable to watch and listen to. Not the 100% perfection SW likes to attain, but it's totally live and unedited and I dig that.

Vocally I thought he was ok, but I've heard him do better. Happy Returns is not my favorite song ever or something, but I thought that one was played particularly well this time. Dave Kilminster did a lot better on the Ancestral solo as opposed to Regret #9. Overall, impressed by the replacement musicians, must be a ridiculous amount of work to internalize everything. Dave really came very close tonally to everything on the album. I can see why Guthrie recommended him.

Don't really care about the rest. PT and SW is kind of close, but I'm still pretty sure my heart belongs to PT. The rock band type of feel, the 'unit', is what sets the group apart from me. Love Barbieri's influence big time.

IEM's complete discography was released on a box set back in 2010 and repressed again in 2014. Both pressings of which have sold out unless you want to fork a lot of $$$ for one in good condition off of eBay or something. The only other way you could get the IEM stuff is through the Burning Shed store where they have the whole discography up for digital download in MP3 or FLAC.

Burning Shed's got a couple of Bass Communion stuff as well on CD/vinyl including what he once claimed to be his all time favorite album he's ever done, Ghost On Magnetic Tape.

Anyone know the best place to buy SW/PT albums, in particular the rare ones like Nil Recurring?

I noticed on SW's website the "USA/Canada" button links to: https://stevenwilsonmerch.com/, but the selection is terrible as I only see a few shirts and a 2 solo albums.

Meanwhile, https://stevenwilsonhq.com/sw/headphonedust/ seems to have a great selection but it seems to be shipping from overseas and is in pounds. Anyone from NA had any issue buying from this site? The albums will still play on our players, but I'm assuming the DVDs won't, correct?

Anyone bought anything from burning shed?

The FOABP 5.1 DVD I bought from Burning Shed was region free, so I would guess that the other DVDs are region free. I've been getting almost all my SW stuff (as well as other KScope/Peaceville related bands) on Burning Shed since 2010 and have been quite happy with buying stuff from there. It usually takes 7-10 days for me to receive stuff from there here in the US as they're UK based. The limited edition of HCE was actually cheaper on Burning Shed than it was on the American pre-ordering site, Newbury Comics when shipping was also taken into account. Occasionally, I'll buy off of SW's Headphone Dust store if it's a Bass Communion album as they're usually released on that store only or on Tonefloat Records for much more.
