No you were not confused by the wording of my post... he did perform independently from them, though he did say something about all of them comming for a gig this summer.
His show was interesting for me, since I don't know many of Porcupine Tree songs and there were about 100 people in the place who barked each word of the songs like mad-men, but because of the intemecy of this show Steven got to talk the the audience - I guess that's the whole point of heaving intemate shows and I'm sorry for my lousy English by the way - and he had some insights that I really liked there about music and beeing a musician, that I found facanating most. India is the love of my life by the way...
