OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just got back from the show...Trully and utterly mind blowing..
First off was this dude named Greg Howard..H eplaye dthe Chpaman Stick, he was a one man band, and he was incredible! I have never heard someone shred so crazy on the stick like that before itw as crazy, his leads were beautiful, and his tone was cool...It was unique, and I liked it alot.
Then came Porcupine Tree, amongst the songs they played were..
- Last Chance to evacutae Planet earth before it is recycled
- Evenless
- Shes Moved on (was incredible!)
- Dark Matter
- Hatesong
and 2 of the upcomming album
- The sound of Muzak (with some commentary about how much steven hates the music industry)
- Soul Ripper?
ugh those are all I can remember now, they played a preftc set 1 hr and 45 mins, Steven Wilson = GOD!. Steven Wilsons guitar work tonight was some of the greatest guitar playing i have evr seen. His tone was ooozing man. I almost started to cry during a few songs, it got eomtional for a sec there. His voice was perfect. I got the chills watching him onstage, hes such a monolithic figure in the music industry..hehe he plays barefoot which was cool. Also, he sported a brand new PRS custom 24, which he used most of the nite, same xact one as Akerfeldt...and he also used to his custom Fender Strat as well, the red one. They played 2 ecores. Steven seems like such a cool guy, he was very shy, but charmingly funny. He rocked out on stage too, which was cool. the new Drumemr was awesome, and their other guitarist John Wesley was also great. For the first time in a while, I had a trully emotional and spiritual musical expereince..I wa sliterally blown away...Mikael if you read this...please you and steven must collaborate, you 2 guys are my favorite guitar players, and it would just be amaizing for you 2 to get together and jam
and possibly record sumthin...
