While having SW and Gilmour on stage together would be totally amazing, there's no way in hell it'll ever happen. :P However, I'd love it if Steven got Åkerfeldt to join him for some Storm Corrosion songs.

I thought they were the same song :neverusethis:

Dogs Fly
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

"Dogs Fly" would be awesome  :lol

Did y'all see he just announced a second Mexico City date and dates in Newark and Worcester? Good stuff. I'm also happy to see how many of these shows are selling out.

I remember reading an interview with Guthrie where he confirmed they were playing to a click track live. But I guess with the kind of stage show SW does (videos and all) you kind of have to be playing to a click in order for everything to work together fine and look and sound cool.

I liked the show. Not the best SW gig I've been to, but not the worst either. I thought it started off kinda weak and got stronger as the concert progressed. When it was good, it was absolutely brilliant. A little bit static, though. I'm under the impression that the band were a bit more goofy and loose on The Raven tour, which resulted in a more 'fun' gig.

Well, I thought that he apologized for using the vocals of Ninette (?) without her being there. But all the time, even before Routine, you could hear keyboard parts that weren't played, background vocals that no-one sang, and if I'm not mistaken even a guitar once or twice. So I really got the impression he mentioned it in that intro, because everyone would notice that. As if he was hoping no one would spot the other backing tracks.

I remember reading an interview with Guthrie where he confirmed they were playing to a click track live. But I guess with the kind of stage show SW does (videos and all) you kind of have to be playing to a click in order for everything to work together fine and look and sound cool.

I get the live show, video effects argument for using backing tracks, but with all the drumloops, and all the other backing tracks I really had the idea I was looking at a band playing along to a live album. It's hard to say, but I guess I started looking for things no one was playing. And I understand it totally wasn't like that, but once you notice all the backing tracks, you're going to search for them. At least I do.


Oh and BTW, I was sitting looking at the side of the stage, and I'm 90% certain I saw the guitar tech changing the video show. On cue, but live.

If you could get Gilmour and Wilson on stage for ONE SONG, which one song would you guys like to seem them play? And be reasonable in your choice -  no "Echoes" or "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" in their entirety.

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

I just stumbled across something on Youtube. I was listening to the full Moonloop improvisation from Transmission IV, and someone in the comments suggested listening to the whole thing while playing Glass Arm Shattering for the first 6 minutes simultaneously. That was pretty cool.

I guess I'm not sure why you should be "reasonable" while fantasizing...


Interesting about all the backing track stuff- I'm not surprised considering the new album, but still a bit of a bummer. Oh well, I'm sure the show will still be awesome.

I think there were backing tracks on the last tour as well. That awesome moment where the big harmonies come in after the 2nd verse in Postcard, where the voices were only behind you in the crowd, was a backing track, for example. Doesn't bother me at all.

every PT and SW gig with a full band since 2002ish has had backing tracks - at this point, it'd be weird to see him play live WITHOUT one!

i get why it'd be weird with the Ninet parts, though. it'd come off better if he sang them.

I waited too long to buy tickets for the upcoming Steven Wilson tour, and it's sold out in Boston.  So last night I bought 4 tickets to an NYC show at the Best Buy Theater, and didn't notice the 16+ age restriction until after I printed the tickets.   :facepalm: :loser: :lol  I plan to attend with my wife and two teenage boys, but one will be 2 years shy of 16.  Am I screwed?  Any thought?

Does your kid look really young? I mean, I didn't have an ID when I was 16 so you can always just say that he doesn't have one but he's your son and you sweaaaar he's 16.
FYI he also announced another show in MA.
