Not from the Steven Wilson interview I heard earlier, he said they’re going to tour then that will be it and he will be back to being solo. Don’t shoot the messenger btw lol, it was on a zoom interview with those two guys who used to host the old grey whistle test in the 80s, can never remember their names.
Steven mentioned last week (at a book signing) that he has already written the songs to his next solo album... While we will all hope for more PT, I don't think it is happening anytime soon. Let's just savor this new album for now ;)
My father introduced me to PT a few years after they split up. He made me a huge fan of PT and Steven Wilson. I asked him if there would ever be a chance of them getting back together for a new album or just touring and he said "not a chance". Now he bought my brother and I tickets with him to fly out to their show in London. I'm so fucking excited and happy!
Same, I found them 6-7 years ago and was crushed that I'd never see them live. Now it's happening and I seriously can't contain myself! Had to get good seats for this one even if it hurt a bit.
@@jellybeansi They are at their best live! The two live DVDs they have are, bar none, some of the greatest live performances ever. And I don't say that lightly. I also dig the Blackfield live one. Great stuff all the way around.
As a drummer, My favorite PT drumming song is definitely start of something beautiful, draw the line, and sleep together, and Sound of Muzak . Great songs.
I hope they play Arriving Somewhere but not Here, it's my favorite Porcupine Tree song and probably my favorite song of all time, and I'm really curious how it would sound with your newer tone. Edit: They did not play it. Because of this I am going to commit a crime.
Oh Steven, you missed Richard's brilliant Spinal Tap reference. There was an interview in the movie with Nigel Tufnel and he was asked "what would you be doing if you didn't become a musician" and he said "a Surgeon" Bravo Richard, that was a perfect response!
No questions about Colin's departure (probably there was a lot of questions about it, but they decided to not answer it). I hope Colin just didn't want to come back because he wanted to move forward in his life and career (like John Wesley), and not because of some conflict with the other members.
I still wish he was with the band I really liked his tone and play style. I was really thrown off in their new song and immediately knew it was a different bass player
It has also been 12 years since they last toured together. I do hope it was an amicable departure though. At very least they aren't speaking any ill of him.
I wouldn’t be surprised if things weren’t exactly amicable. Apparently Steven ghosted his bandmates out of their gig. Respect to the remaining members for coming together to make more music for us, in spite of whatever may be going on. While Colin and his soothing basslines will be missed, I respect his decision as well.
Que bueno que en Chile hay mucha cultura de música internacional. Acá en Argentina hay tan poca que cuando Wilson vino en el 2018 para presentar su disco To the Bone tocó en un barsucho de porquería! Claramente no tienen demasiado fan base acá :/ El caupolicán suena tremendo
“Who obviously will stamp their own personality on the material.” I love the acceptance and willingness to let the professionals he works with be who they are.
I have lived in China for the past three years and met my wife and had a child while I've been here. My mum has been begging me to return to the UK for a long time now, and each time I've said I would something has come along and made it impossible to do so. To solve this problem, I bought P/T tickets for the Wembley gig in November, to assure my mum that we will indeed be returning this year.
Only discovered porcupine tree about six months ago. absolutely smashed the discography and loved every minute.cant believe I missed out for so long! Got a ticket as soon as it announced.cant wait!
Check out the live Backfield DVD and the early Wilson albums, of which Raven is one of the most important albums of the last 20 years. Trust me on this one.
The reason why he's not in PT is because he never kept in touch with the band members in the 12 years since the last tour. The other three continued to share ideas just for fun until one day they realized they had enough material for a new album. This was mentioned by Richard in a podcast he did some weeks ago.
I love how Richard says he approaches music in a "slightly different way". He has been a major contributor to my unhealthy enjoyment of PT's output. What he does is so different from the usual fare, sonic sculpture I like to call it. It is so much more interesting to me than virtuosity.
Not to sound Shallow, but I’ve been Waiting for them to record more Muzak and golly jeez how Time Flies by since their last record. It’s making me Sentimental just thinking about going to see them play live again!!
Close second. Thanks for the post Steven, Gavin and Richard. You've brought countless smiles to so many people with your talent! If there is any way to add a more Southeastern location to your tour, please do!
The fact that this is a driven out album over a long time makes me anticipate it more, several different ideas in a single album can work as well as a concept album.
5:12 Wilson, Barbieri and Gavin If you're read this, please come to Asia, at least to Japan. I think fans from other countries in Asia will be there for your tour.
Guy's the world needs Porcupine Tree , it needs you' re creativity , inventiveness and musicianship. Great to see you back , London gig fantastic , looking forward to seeing you in Manchester 2023.
OMG.. I am from Calgary Alberta Canada and I just booked my flight to NY to see you guys in Radio City!!!! After this... it doesn't matter.. Seeing you guys have been top of my bucket list...
Colin missing from stage will be felt by old time fans. When I saw Porcupine Tree in Melbourne, in 2008 (I think) my partner at the time and I shared a pill before the show and got a spot right in front between Steven and Colin. We loved watching them both just play. Got lost in it, really. Quite an amazing experience. We have gone seperate ways since then but remain friends who still chat every once in a while. So it’s easy to understand how certain friendships don’t end, but change. I wish all the band members, old and new all the best. The soundtrack to such amazing memories with beautiful people.
Wow, Gavin refreshingly candid about how a musician might not enjoy playing a song on stage, or even hating it as time goes on. Musicians are great actors in the way they put up an excited and energetic performance of a song they've played 1000 times in their career because, much as they hate it, they know they are fulfilling the dream of people in the crowd. Yes "Roundabout" comes to mind. I've seen them play it in all its forms since the 70's and I still love it, but they must be dying inside!
"Best one we've done" Quite a statement from this band. I can't wait to hear this album, be it a closure or a continuation for PT. p.s. Take care of your health, Gavin. Drumming is the most physically demanding on the body of any instrument.
The first question about time signatures is really a good question for musicians. Great musicians who write in odd times tend to just feel music in different time. The main thing I’d say is just write what feels good and don’t inhibit yourself at all to feeling a groove or structure. Just sculpt pieces of music until it feels like it works really. That’s the root of what makes progressive music so amazing and liberating. It’s really great and capable players/composers just experimenting.
You're a lot famous in Istanbul/Turkey it is actually your top 3rd monthly listener, but you've never came here still. Mr. Wilson came once before on his solo tour and that is just it. Istanbul wants to welcome you.
That was cool, both informative and entertaining. I'm really excited (and still somewhat in disbelief) to finally see you guys in Berlin later this year!
I have all Porcupine Tree available. In a way I consider you filling the gap left by Pink Floyd. I was frustrated years ago with the music about and was at a record store and they let you listen before buying. I listened to some of Inabsentia and immediately had to have the whole catalog. Cheers guys! From, the Rockies of Utah.🍻
Awesome session!! Would love to see more of these. We're all looking forward to seeing you live. Play Dark Matter - that's an order!! See you in Toronto! -Chris
So sad you won't be playing in Belgium next tour in the fall, and only once in the Netherlands. I'm glad I saw you guys about 6 times in the past, I'm just sad that I probably won't be seeing you again...
Love the My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive and Cocteau Twins shoutout. My favourite Porcupine Tree moments are the more spacey shoegazey textures they often delve in to
"I think the answer to that is 'Closure/Continuation'" - classic comeback to that last query; nicely done :D I also loved Gavin's answer to that query about the odd metres; it was easy enough to for all levels of (non-)musician to understand yet it didn't patronise in the slightest. An erudite trio of gentlemen.
What Steven said about people engaging with music and how it's difficult now with how much we all struggle with Attention Deficits due to all the online social media internet stuff really resonated with me. I remember 20 years ago, how I could listen to an album and be totally zoned in the whole album, noticing all the little details with ease. I don't have that now. I have to consciously wrestle and hold my attention on music to achieve that now and, even at that, my mind will wander so easily, unless I really focus. As a result, I can burn out on long albums. One thing I've been doing to help is having the lyrics on screen, especially the Genius website, which actually shows where the Verse/Chorus/Bridge is, rather than just listing the words. There's something about being able to track the 'shape' of the song and the structure in my mind that helps me appreciate and follow and stay focused. Also, just reading the lyrics helps focus my attention by having something else to focus on that's still connected to the song itself. Once I'm very familiar with the song structure I can follow it without the lyrics and appreciate it more. Thankfully, I've been a music listener for long enough to show an album respect and give it attention and invest time in it, where as I think a lot of kids, will switch a song off unless it's constantly jumping out and flashily catching their attention.
I'm probably an odd fan in that I pay close attention to the writing/lyrics. It is modern poetry and PT has never been disappointed in that regard. It's something the British bands have always been good at over the years-Yes, Pink Floyd, the Who, - all the great bands had great writing and PT follows in that proud tradition.
In one of your concerts a couple of years ago I asked the question "Will Porcupine Tree ever get back together" and everyone just laughed at it and it got skipped over. Needless to say, I'm very glad to see this!
And yes, we will be playing Anesthetize on the Closure / Continuation shows later this year!
That's great to hear guys! See u in Poland :)
I'm actually more curious to see you guys playing songs never played live before, or at least not played much. Let's go full Linton Samuel Dawson.
Are you guys planning on filming any of these shows for future release?
"And I float above the stars" ⭐
Fuck yeah!
I think this is the start of something beautiful.
Not from the Steven Wilson interview I heard earlier, he said they’re going to tour then that will be it and he will be back to being solo. Don’t shoot the messenger btw lol, it was on a zoom interview with those two guys who used to host the old grey whistle test in the 80s, can never remember their names.
Then think again
Nice one bro, was just listening to that yesterday!

This could be start to Steven releasing another solo album and touring with PT members, 🤔, i mean after release of Closure/Continuation ofcourse...
Gotta love Gavin's humour!
Not particularly informative but funny
Best of shoegaze... Volume 1.
"I always wanted to be a Formula One driver." "Really?" "No!"

@@ScottyKirk1 They ain't coming to Norway, so I have to resort to flying hahah
That's awesome!!!! I'll be seeing them for the first time too
The way Gavin says "no" to being an f1 driver has me cracking up
Honestly still can’t believe this is happening, much less that their first show back will be the one I’ll be at, excited beyond words, truly.
Same, I found them 6-7 years ago and was crushed that I'd never see them live. Now it's happening and I seriously can't contain myself! Had to get good seats for this one even if it hurt a bit.
I read somewhere that their first show will be in Khartoum
@@jellybeansi They are at their best live! The two live DVDs they have are, bar none, some of the greatest live performances ever. And I don't say that lightly. I also dig the Blackfield live one. Great stuff all the way around.
Gotta love when Wilson asks Harrison about his favourite from the "PT" catalogue and he has to fluff his answer not to name a Pineapple Thief song.
Happy birthday Gavin! 😊
For the first time ever, I'll be saving up just to fly to a different continent to watch my favorite band perform. Can't wait!!!
Love from India
Where are you watching them, bro?

what about bonnie the cat?
@@solvedghgh289 bonnie the cat is awesome!
Sleep Together is a "try not to smash shit up in the immediate vicinity" challenge from an air drumming perspective

Ok, so you haven't listened to anything pre In Absentia, got it
I hope they play Arriving Somewhere but not Here, it's my favorite Porcupine Tree song and probably my favorite song of all time, and I'm really curious how it would sound with your newer tone.
Edit: They did not play it. Because of this I am going to commit a crime.
Probably mine too. It takes you on a journey every time you hear it and it’s got everything in it. Might listen to it now
Steven played it on his last tour. In a tiny gig in Belfast it was incredible
Incredible track.
That little whine of the keyboard at the beginning gets me everytime! That one and Anesthetize are top of the mountain for me.
@@ScottyKirk1 Agreed. 🙌🏻
YES! WE WERE WAITING FOR THIS! AS MUCH AS ALBUM

The question that I'd like answered is why Colin isn't part of the band? His choice or not? It's weird to not even mention him at all. Purposeful.
That's what we're all wondering
They act as if half of the questions weren’t about Colin 🤣

They will bring the house down if they open with " SHALLOW " Looking forward for this show.
Speaking of the back catalog, i'd love to hear a modernized live version of "And the swallows dance above the sun".

What Steven said about people engaging with music and how it's difficult now with how much we all struggle with Attention Deficits due to all the online social media internet stuff really resonated with me.

I have to consciously wrestle and hold my attention on music to achieve that now and, even at that, my mind will wander so easily, unless I really focus. As a result, I can burn out on long albums.
