I did not think that I
was going to go to this show but my friend Daniel was visiting and really
wanted to go. I was glad that I did. Steven Wilson, is the creative mind behind
Porcupine Tree and this is a totally new band that he has assembled to play the
music on his solo records, including a brand new song called Luminol, which was probably the best song of the night. I am guessing the set is more or less the same every night as besides
the opening jam and closing part of the set, it was all performed to different
cool films. First with the screen on the front of the stage for like 25mins and
then it came down and the rest on the back screen. Steven was clearly having a
really good time, sort of orchestrating the band a bit like Frank Zappa at
times. The set list starts with some more of the mainstream pop prog stuff he
does and then became much more musical adventurous and cool. All the players in
his band were amazing. I really like the keyboard player a lot. Steven did not
play that much guitar, probably about the same as keyboards. Theo Travis played
different flutes and saxes that really augmented the tracks well. The show was
a bit less than 2hrs and nearly sold out with amazing sound.
