5.0 out of 5 stars Possibly the best music DVD in the world....... ever!, 28 Oct 2006
By G. Floyd "Passionate about music" (Colchester, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Porcupine Tree are on a real high of late. Their 2005 tour demonstrated a confident band right on top of their game and this has continued with their recent tour where they have road tested some impressive new material. Great songs, great playing and truly moving performances characterise this DVD. Just like all the truly great bands, it is impossible to pigeon-hole their music. From the drop D power riff opening of 'Blackest Eyes', the vitriol and passion of 'Hatesong' to the soaring melodies of 'Open Car' and 'Lazarus', the band cut across musical boundaries. In a stroke they remove the straightjacket that so many bands place on themselves and yet still manage to always sound just like Porcupine Tree'. Mixed in DTS, the sound does justice to all members of the band. Colin Edwin's exemplary bass playing really moves the air and Gavin Harrison's drumming is a real revelation when you really see what he gets up to as he restlessly stalks around his kit. Richard Barbieri's atmospheric loops, sounds and keyboards shift around the sound field and provide a tremendous backdrop to the songs whilst John Wesley provides great guitar and superb backup vocals that give Steven Wilson the space to truly shine. Wilson's vocals are magnificent throughout and his wonderfull, almost dismissive approach to guitar playing is a joy to behold. Rather than playing the guitar hero, he uses his instrument rather like a 'sonic paintbrush', creating sounds and textures that support rather than dominate the songs. In a (British) music scene of often, drab formulaic bands who have no future vision, Porcupine Tree shine like a beacon. If you love Porcupine Tree you will already have bought this, to those new to the band this comes highly recommended. An essential purchase!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great live DVD, 10 Feb 2007
By C. Porter (Worcester, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Porcupine Tree: fabulous studio band, awesome live band - as amply documented here.

The extras aren't much to shout about, apart from the mesmeric Cymbal Song by Gavin Harrison - a virtuoso exploration of percussion.

But the presentation's great, and the sound quality nothing short of remarkable.

The concert itself isn't visually breathtaking, though the editing, presentation etc. are all good. This is all about the sound, and all about the playing - and that's what makes the DVD so compelling - which is what concert footage should be focussed around.

Watching them play is almost as compelling as listening, so hurrah!

Enjoy. 5 stars and a rare treat.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for fans.., 13 April 2007
By T. FIELDSEND "Tompac" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'll keep it simple. If you've never been to see Porcupine Tree then this (obviously) is the next best thing. Its a really well edited concert with nice camera and lighting effects. The track listing is great as you get some oldish stuff mixed in with the at the time new 'Deadwing' material.

But the highlights for me are 'Hatesong' and 'Dont Hate me' side by side. The drumming on 'Hatesong' is incredible and overall its better live here than on the album Lightbulb Sun.

Also of course the 13 minute + 'Arriving Somewhere but not here' is awesome, and its nice to see a track like 'Heartattack in a Layby' live too. Rare treats include 'Mother and Child Divided' and 'So called friend' (tracks taken out of Deadwing).

Get this Dvd, its flawless. Cant wait for 'Fear of a blank planet'.
