Porcupine Tree - Closure / Continuation (5.1/Dolby Atmos) 24-Jun-2022

[edisonbaggins]

So, to see the pre-sale tickets, you literally have to buy the album from Porcupine Tree site. Jesus......I don't even remember who I ordered it from to be honest.

Seems that way...
I'll wait until they open up GA at the Greek in Berkeley, CA...

what about your spreadsheet for orders? I've been printing out the orders for a stack on the order desk, now where'd I put that stack

They're playing one of the best sounding rooms in the world in Chicago. It's pretty rare to get a rock show in that one. Definitely will have to go.

haha, yeah. I'm at work/office, so don't have access to that file.

Impressive building according to the Wikipedia article

The Boston show is in a new venue right next to Fenway Park. The Red Sox are playing the Yankees that night. I'm sure it won't be too crazy. Just the oldest rivalry in baseball, LOL.

I saw Tears For Fears in Boston in 2004, just days after the Sox won their first series in 86 years. The city held the parade for the team that day. Needless to say, the concert was a major drunk-fest, LOL.

He redeemed himself by pointing out there's a "No Purchase Necessary" link on the tickets pre-sale page. Good for those of us who already pre-ordered the album elsewhere.

Definitely has a Blackfield vibe. Again, not a bad thing, just a thing that is.

I wonder if there's a concept element to this album, as there is a repeated line from "Harridan" in the form of, "time/hour of the almost rain."

I dunno, it has a really PT vibe if you ask me. Unfortunately, a bit too much like later PT for my liking. It just sounds a bit uninspired, too little structure. This was my number one favourite band when I was in high school, but I'm more of a fan of their sound between Stupid Dream and In Absentia.

My initial response to the 2nd PT track is ZZZzzz...

 

[ctoelle]

Yeah, this new track is kind of a dud. Mopey/whiny Steve Wilson mode. I didn't care for it much at all.

That's good, I was afraid I was going have to pre-order the cassette (cheapest item) then take my chances cancelling the order after securing tickets.

So my wife and I are taking a 40th anniversary trip to New England in the Early fall which conflicts with the 9/30 show at the Greek in LA. I wonder if she’d mind if we changed our plans and followed PT on their swing through the West instead.

I'm thinking I might try for Denver but grandkid school commitments might be difficult to accommodate.

 

[madship]

I'm in! Tickets for New York and Montreal!

 

[rtbluray]

Just got my tickets for Chicago!

Likewise! First row of the balcony so I can just enjoy the show however I want.

 

[alansanchez86]

Got tickets for Mexico City as well!
