First let me say that I too have the 'Burning Shed' version with DVD and while I can understand some people's disappointment with the sound quality I don't actually agree with them. Let me explain: I have a very revealing, dynamic hifi with a top class cd transport feeding a high quality DAC into a good valve amp and studio quality mini monitors. This album isn't so much badly produced but a victim of the venue's rather 'dead' acoustic and the positioning of the microphones (too far back - making the band sound too distant). When people say that Steven Wilson produces 'lifeless' records I have to laugh because generally I feel he is one of the few producers to not to fall into the modern trap (caused by the proliferation of MP3 IMO) of making the music way too loud causing masses of horrible digital distortion (which we with good systems can easily hear - unlike the ipod crowd). Of course, this does mean that to many people listening on such things as mobile phones (why???) a Steven Wilson produced album will sound rather quiet and not as 'in your face'. All that said I do prefer Coma Divine's fantastically open clear sound or even Warsawa, by comparison this album sounds too much like you're near the back of the auditorium which for me is never a good place to listen to a rock band. On the plus side I actually prefer the live performances of 'The Incident' to the original cd, while the second cd is good mainly for Steven Wilson's excellent guitar.

I do not have a state-of-the-art hi-fi system but it is still reasonable quality stuff (Quad 66/Denon AVC-A1/Kef Reference 1s) and found the sound on the CDs to be very clear so I haven't the slightest clue why people are complaining. They are entitled to their opinions, however, but I suggest that if you generally like Porcupine Tree's recent material then give this a try. How reasonable is that?! Oh, and crank it up!!! By the way, I bought the limited edition version direct from the label, Burning Shed, which also includes a superb DVD of the concert.

i cant fathom why a few people have knocked this so much.if you like pt you will love this so ignore the naysayers and purchase.i frankly loved the live versions of many of the incident tracks although disc 2 is better.

I've got everthing PT have done, even from the 'delerium years' (which we're not supposed to mention) The standout feature of this immaculately presented double live cd is the sound and performance.
The only reason I've given it 4 stars is down to personal taste, in that I think the song choices could've been better but I appreciate it may have had a lot to do with using the best recorded performances.
All in all It gives a good idea of how brilliant these guys are at playing live and should have you rushing out to buy a ticket next time they're in town

Really brilliant this latest offering from my favorite Band, everybody is entitled to opinions but I think the bad reviews on here are unjustified and really harsh....

For a recent PT album this is way below average.
Live they are normally powerful and dynamic, with crystal clear sound, but his recording..oh dear.
What happened? The engineer nodded off? Is it from soundboards?
It's certainly not anywhere near as good as previous live releases.
The sound is lost under a bag of fleecy wool.
I am very disappointed. I expect much better from PT. Smacks of a filler just to get something out there.

This is another good job this banda quality and notorious. Disc 1 is a live version of the album "The Incident" and the second disc features live versions of old hits chosen optimally. There are highlights for "Stars Die" and "Even Less". It is an interesting job with good live recording, progressive style with strong guitar. It is a very good CD for fans and those who like this style of music. There is no way to lose. Very good! Note 8.5.

I have most of the previous Porcupine Tree live releases and this is up there with "Coma Divine" and the XL Sessions CD's. Sure the sound may be not as dynamic as previous live albums, but it is not dull sounding and is far, far superior to bootleg quality. The mix may get heavy at times and the drums may get lost a little, but generally Gavin Harrison's drums are clear and a joy to listen to.
The first CD is the incident concept piece and like it's studio counterpart, the 56+ minute tracks starts well, gets very bitty in the middle and after "Time Flies" finishes with a blinder. "I Drive the Hearse" is so much better than the studio version.
For me, disc two is the meat of the product and will probably get played more than disc one. Only three of the tracks here have been released on previous live albums and "Stars Die" gets a first full band live airing on a live album and is very welcome.
The set may not be the best live album ever released, but it is a welcome release and as mentioned previously here it is a stop-gap due to other music interests being taken up. If you are a fan of the Tree, you will probably get this. If you're not, it is a worthy investment
