Saw them last Sunday...here's the deal.
They will do 5/6 new tracks to start the show. All are excellent but two will stand out. One is a 4-5 min straight rocker that, I think, has the sexiest lyrics of any PT song I've heard...this is the single. The other will be introduced as "the long song" and it is HEAVY...an epic on the level of "The Learning", "Synogaga Satanyae", or "Deliverance". You will be stunned!
After a 5 minute break they will return and, maybe, play this set:
Shallow
Open Car
Darkest Eyes
Arriving Somewhere
Halo
The Kreator has a Mastertape
For Even Less
...at this point things get a bit blurred but I can guarantee that the encore will include, the most perfect of PT songs, "Trains"!! A song that they did not play on their last US tour.
In a word...Inspiring...PTree is rock/metal at the very highest level. It transcends both classification and exclusion...metal, goth, psychedelia, funk, blues, grunge, industrial, pop, prog, avant-garde and more! Quite simply, the finest band on the planet right now, at the height of their powers. They flat fucking own!!
Gavin Harrison = Gene Hoglan = Van "The Man" Williams > anyone
PS - a Nevermore/Opeth/PTree US tour would be incredible and might be just what is needed to save Nevermore from their recent, crushing sameness/monotony
