Porcupine Tree - new live Blu-Ray coming later this year!

[jefe1]

The Amazon description says it plays for 25 hours and 26 minutes. Must of been a long concert. Finally a bluray that uses its full capacity.

I beg to differ. The sound quality/mix to me are really stellar and nothing wrong whatsoever regarding the energy level, rather the opposite. Steven struggles a bit with his vocals in some passages but nothing that bothers me really, he struggled from time to time also on the Home Invasion concert bluray, Permanating comes to mind.

Really looking forward to this release, especially since the live sound on the concert I attended, Stockholm, was really bad with ridiculously overwhelming base.

I was listening on my desktop system, maybe the big system will yield better results (more accurate at the least).

The “Harridan” single isn’t available on Apple Music in the US?

I can't find it.

I listened on my main system and still found it lacking.

Seeing more places in Amazon to buy the BD+DVD. Even exists one in UK that includes a signed CD.

It's available as a video.

In the UK the 2 disc bluray/dvd set is up for pre order now at Rarewaves:

Its a good price £17.07, plus they have 10% off storewide all weekend, with code RWNOV10, which brought my price down to £15.36 .

When I ordered this from Amazon US, they had barely a description and no picture, now it has been updated.

It does come off like a rushed or badly planned campaign.

While I don't want people to wait unnecessarily, I'd also have wondered if it wouldn't make sense to release it not so quickly after THC.

Will this version play in North America as I ordered it from here as worked out to 27.70 Canadian total with shipping included. I ordered it today.

[Marplot]

the bluray is labeled ABC so all region.
The DVD looks mislabeled as ABC instead of 1-6 but it is reasonable to believe their intent is region free.
You can get a better picture at the Music For Nations store PRE-ORDER - Porcupine Tree 'Closure/Continuation' Blu-Ray/DVD Set - RELEASE DATE 8th December 2023

 

[peterzach]

It's very confusing.
I submitted question to Juno and just replied that the dvd is PAL
As long as Bluray is ABC, that's good enough for me but would be nice if Dvd is all region as well.

I don't see this for sale in Canada.

I see some ordered from rarewaves which is a UK company as well.

Yikes, imagine being so terrified of holding one shot still for just 2 seconds? Never thought I’d pray for an alternate “Drum Cam” so bad lol.

 

[jefe1]

Boy I like this song even though its another live version. Reminds me how great Anesthetize is.

I kinda felt that way when they started playing it live, my gut initially said "this instead of 2 or 3 other songs". But after a few minutes and definitely by the end I no longer questioned their decision. It's one of the highlights of their entire catalog, and for a fan like me that joined the bandwagon just before they called it quits, it was a nice treat for those of us who never imagined being able to someday see them perform it live.

When is this suppose to be out? I remember ordering it a little while back.

Next week, Dec 8th is release date.

The performance of FoaBP was much better than Harridan. I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of my last purchase of 2023. 2024 will start out will with two Bruce Sword releases.

 

[JediJoker]

The performance of FoaBP was much better than Harridan.

I agree, with much better audience engagement.

 

[madship]

I agree, with much better audience engagement.

And I agree with you.

It is somewhat of an expectation that the audience would be more engaged with the older songs. It takes a bit for the new songs to bake into our consciousness. I listened to C/C today. Enjoyed it much more than I did a year ago.

At the show in NY last year, I was much more invested in the older songs. While enjoying the show, when a song was winding up, I was eagerly anticipating the next song and each time a C/C song came up I was a little disappointed.

I had tickets to the Montreal show about a week before Radio City, but couldn't go due to COVID. Just my luck to come down with it the week before my first two shows "after" the pandemic. I think I would have enjoyed NY much more if I hadn't had that hope for the old songs throughout the show.
