             Porcupine Tree Live in Rome, Italy

             Tendastrisce, September 18 2006

Hi guys,
what a beautiful gig I attended the last night!
I was at the Porcupine Tree concert here in Rome, Italy and I just can tell you that it's been simply awesome! The band was really tight and they played in such a great way and with so much soul. As you may know, Gavin Harrison was sitting behind the drums and he played with such a great feeling, maturity, taste, finesse, power and technique and he definitely played for the music like the rest of the band. And guys... the sound that was coming out of his drums was so beautiful and unbelievable as usual. I just can tell you that the whole sound was perfect with great definition and one of the best I've ever heard in my life. But the best thing it was...the music... In the 1st half of the gig they basically
played the new record (Am I wrong...?) that they're going to record right after the end of this tour (what a good choice guys!) and, again, I can tell you that it's great music... so great... and it's really different from the past two records In Absentia and Deadwing... I feel like it's more on their "Prog" (so called) side and the compositions are really strong. In times where improvisation rules in music (too many musicians see each other in the studio and just play...sorry but in my opinion this not necessarily means that you're doing a record...) it's really great and mind-satisfying to look at a band like Porcupine Tree playing this great music with such a strong project behind. I mean... I saw an unbelievable amount of gigs (any kind of gig...) in my life in (25/30 years of concerts) and in recent years I often find myself incredibly bored very soon at every gig with the only desire to leave the venue as soon as possible and go home... but not this time folks! Porcupine Tree really means something else... I enjoyed the gig (and every P3 gig I've seen) from the very first moment to the very last note with such a great excitement and forgot about everything and this is really what I want from music and what music should be!!!! And that's the point... I was listening to MUSIC!!!! How many chance we have today to see and listen to something like this? Not too many I guess...
It was a lot of years ago when I was avidly waiting to listen to the new record of my favorite band and now... I have it again... what a wonderful feeling it is!
Please take this precious little advice,
if the band is coming near you don't miss it for any reason because it could be one of the greatest experience of your life.
Thanks guys and thanks Gavin for the inspiration you give me all the times!
Peace
