I always say Gavin is the best thing that happened to Porcupine Tree. Aside from Steven, Richard and Colin of course. :) Probably my favourite drummer of all time
While clapping you kinda don't think about metric, it's rather about the pulse. Plus, 6/8 is a really common rhythm in latin american-african music. And yes, I'm being extremely pretentious, arrogant and apathetic, but I don't have friends (this is why I listen to prog rock tho) Just joking, the crowd is really cool, prog listeners can have friends and most people don't know shit about metric, but I wanted to say thing about the pulse and the latin american accent, everything in my country sounds like people saying burrito (bu-rri-to) (:
Nooo guy, Porcupine Tree is not underrated at all. The band is greatly esteemed among connoisseurs. Today, "prog" is a niche genre. Porcupine Tree found its niche, it built a dedicated fanbase. And this is amazing. So no, again, the band is not underrated.
for sure one of the best in the world yes. Especially when it comes to prog-rock, closely matched with Marko Minemann but i wouldnt dare to decide who i like more
It's to make it easier. During live you have to sing lots of songs and jeep Your voice The best and in these songs The main thing is to keep The groove
I agree. I like the vocals better without all the harmonies for this particular songs, even if vocal harmonies is something PT does particularly well. There’s just something about the rawness of Steven’s clean vocals, especially during the part right before the break. It makes more sense for the song, ‘cause it’s so personal.
This is one of the few PT songs I actually prefer the studio version of. This performance is awesome of course, but it just doesn't do it for me like the one from the album.
Don't lose hope! Even though they split up, Steven still play's some PT songs on his shows! I got to enjoy Arriving Somewhere, Open Car, Trains and Way Out of here during the TTB tour! Not the same without Gavin, John and Colin, but Steven's musicians are always top notch.
That piercing haunted note Wilson carries for the word "always" at 1:42 gets me every time! My favorite part of the song is the harmonies starting at 3:38. Fucking Genius!
This band was a match made in heaven, with perfect chemistry as musicians. The fact the Porcupine Tree are no longer a band is so sad, I want to see them live.
When Opeth had their Lamentations DVD gig at Shepherd's Bush Empire back in 2003, Opeth gave me a backstage pass to hang out with them before and after the gig. As I walked into their room, a person walked out and we brushed shoulders. I apologized. Maybe two days after I was recalling the ecstasy of being at the gig and being the only one granted the backstage pass, I suddenly recalled the facial features of the person I bumped into and realized it was Steven Wilson!
I am over ten years late coming to PT, I was told by my sons drum tutor to listen to Gavin Harrison in PT to help with his practicing, did he Noooo. Shit I should have pushed him down that road and I wouldn’t just be discovering them now for gods sake. PT are my new band I must get everything by them, so far 5 CD’s in and loving every minute. I kept hearing about Steve bloody Wilson, who is the guy producing everyone’s albums ‘The Steve Wilson’ mix blah blah, then I heard PT. I know exactly who is SW now and my mind has been blown, can’t get enough of him, also following Gav in The Pineapple Thief they are also a tremendous band I am getting into. This song is amazing by the way. I also came across him in JBK he was awesome there too.
That is a performance that just cannot be replicated. Everything is on point there. The crowd, the bass, the drums, all the band. I love the faster tempo and different key. This performance is exceptional!
January 2019....just discovered this band and Steven Wilson...I am ashamed. I passed this music in my youth. But happy to hear now this wonder of sound.
I'm conflicted... Is this gonna be my favorite band? I have about 5 prospects... This decision shouldn't be taken lightly... I'm 32 years old, and I've heard a lot of music, SEEN many musical acts. This, however.... this is special beyond belief... I am considering porcupine tree, my favorite band. They're a true wonder...
Just listening to Porcupine Tree for the first time today, going through some of their songs. Great musicians who play extremely well together (I've heard of Wilson and Harrison before), seemingly totally relaxed yet incredibly tight. They set great moods, often quite soothing. Enough change throughout each piece to not get boring, so their songs don't feel as long as they are. They don't seem to have the compositional brilliance of Genesis (especially early Genesis) or of Tool in terms of creating intense experiences, but on the other hand they seem to be going for mood more than drama, and seem more relaxed than intense. Not all their ideas are equally good, but most are plenty good enough. I don't usually pay much attention to lyrics, but the times I've noticed them I would say... they could be better. :D So a mixed bag with room for improvement but overall very satisfying. Glad I found them.
it might seem awkward .. but while this song was playin in the car i had a race .. never felt so good the calm atmosphere the song made and the adrenaline of the race .. just perfection
I never heard of these guys before today. I suspect that a company of assassins ran out of contracts and decided to form a band. Every spot in the band is occupied by a cold-blooded killer. They just mesmerize and slide the knife in and you never feel a thing. Smooth as silk.
God. I remember an ex boyfriend sending me this song on MYSPACE.. I was instantly in love with the song and with Porcupine Tree. Steven Wilson is always pretty much a badass
I feel like the dude who yelled, "FREEBIRD" and "YEAAHHHH" was the same guy who yelled "YOU'RE INCREDIBLE" at Keanu Reeves
You're breathtaking*
And yeah Wilson is breathtaking
@@antioche6276 YOU'RE breathtaking!
@@z0ttel89 YOU'RE BREATHTAKING
@@antioche6276 YOU're breathtaking
You're all breathtaking!
The bassist is having the time of his life.
When isn't he?
It is quite clear too.
Wow. Poor guy has to play it live every time someone clicks here.
Aaqib Iftikhar jajaja
wow so funny
I saw them live in 2010 and they definitely did not sing this and I legit cried lol
Such a bad joke that it’s funny
Dude You just wrote a script for Black Mirror
Most underrated band of all time.
Porcupine Tree is the best band of all time, but most underrated has to go to Cancel
No it goes to Failure
Some say this is the most famous underrated band
What is this song about?
@@RandissMarie Always the summer, slipping away.
dude is drumming out his life right there.
gavin harrison is a god among men. dude really puts his heart into everything and its always amazing
It's Gavin 'effing Harrison. It's what he does!
I always say Gavin is the best thing that happened to Porcupine Tree. Aside from Steven, Richard and Colin of course. :) Probably my favourite drummer of all time
hes an idiot
Check what he did at Letterman's back in '11. 😆
ua-cam.com/video/igDSyZMy8_E/v-deo.html
The chemistry between the band members..complementing each other..passing smiles..laser communication with eyes..damn
I have that same connection with pizza.
Precious Metal Head underrated comment lmaoo
Richard stares at Gavin more than my ex used to look at me. True love there
"Where was I standing?"
Superlative. Even in his sarcasm he remains serious. Steven, you are my hero.
yes, ha ha. We know it from DVD, my friend. "Not Freebird". is also very funny. Of course, we know it from our DVD!
The best moment!! Super natural....
3:27 that bass note in the break is so satisfactory
+Tomé Silva I didn't even catch that until I read your post. Magnificent!
+Tomé Silva Your speakers deserve a standing ovation :D
I always eargasm when I listen to that simple note. Amazing.
Tomé Silva yes sir got it
It's like discovering "Blackest Eyes" has a haunting, whispering voice doing backup vocals.. after hearing it for the 100th time.
Porcupine Tree fans surely know how to clap...
6/8 clapping confuse people who are not into prog
Meteorotaki True I was impressed that the crowd was able to be in 6/8 smoothly
While clapping you kinda don't think about metric, it's rather about the pulse.
Plus, 6/8 is a really common rhythm in latin american-african music.
And yes, I'm being extremely pretentious, arrogant and apathetic, but I don't have friends (this is why I listen to prog rock tho)
Just joking, the crowd is really cool, prog listeners can have friends and most people don't know shit about metric, but I wanted to say thing about the pulse and the latin american accent, everything in my country sounds like people saying burrito (bu-rri-to) (:
Wasn't surprised to see your comment here
@@Meteorotaki 6/8 is literally one of the most common time signatures even in dance music and waltz music. Get over your superiority complex.
I am 63 and listening!
👌👌
One of the few bands on Earth who sound better live than their studio performances. Gavin really unleashes himself live.
And he always has the best sounding drumkits. Pure ear candy
The most underrated, under appreciated amazing rock band of all time.
Nooo guy, Porcupine Tree is not underrated at all. The band is greatly esteemed among connoisseurs.
Today, "prog" is a niche genre. Porcupine Tree found its niche, it built a dedicated fanbase. And this is amazing. So no, again, the band is not underrated.
My favourite PT song may change, but none shall hurt me as much as Trains.
What
Probably because this damn song is so fucking happy and sad at the same time. ;~;
yeah man trains is rough, so is start of something beautiful (for me atleast)
Try listening to these songs by Steven Wilson (music video on youtube): Routine, The Raven That Refused To Sing and Drive Home ;_;
drive home is probably the most difficult to wrap ones head around, super sad
the drumming is outstanding
That's gavin "big dick" harrison...the best drummer of the 21st century
Most complete drummer ever imo
For some odd reason I just love it when Steven wilson snaps a string.
As of January 2020 this song features the greatest living rock drummer
for sure one of the best in the world yes. Especially when it comes to prog-rock, closely matched with Marko Minemann but i wouldnt dare to decide who i like more
What's his name please?
@@silkuk8417 that's Mr. Gavin Harrison aka The Drumming Wizard
@@sergiovelasquez5138 thank you
I'd give Danny Carey that title. But he's also very good.
He lowered the key to be able to sing it. I noticed it asap.
"And it's okay"
Pat Spriggs same
Noticed that too. I play along with capo on 5th fret normally.
Wow. They say you have to be a musical genius to notice that. Congratulations.
That's interesting. I wonder how he'd sing it now -- because he's kinda added a falsetto to his vocal repertoire!
It's to make it easier. During live you have to sing lots of songs and jeep Your voice The best and in these songs The main thing is to keep The groove
I like this rendition better, broken guitar string and all. When I'm singing this song to myself, this is the version I'm mimicking.
Same here! I break into “we were doing so well” right in the middle of the song :)
I agree. I like the vocals better without all the harmonies for this particular songs, even if vocal harmonies is something PT does particularly well. There’s just something about the rawness of Steven’s clean vocals, especially during the part right before the break. It makes more sense for the song, ‘cause it’s so personal.
@@QuickQuackReviews I think overall it feels more "earthy", warm, and stripped down vs the original which is more overproduced (which I also love btw)
ua-cam.com/video/FeEwNyo-S2A/v-deo.html
Tried covering it the way he performs it here
This is one of the few PT songs I actually prefer the studio version of. This performance is awesome of course, but it just doesn't do it for me like the one from the album.
Steven Wilson is so perfect!
Saptarshi Pal as are Colin Edvin and Gavin Harrison, and the two other musicians which I don't remember the name of.
Saptarshi Pal : Richard Barbieri and John Wesley.
what I would give to see these guys in person
Are they even still touring?
@@mauijaystar I think they broke up
@@metalmetal3532 sorry to break it to you guys, they broke up years ago
Don't lose hope! Even though they split up, Steven still play's some PT songs on his shows! I got to enjoy Arriving Somewhere, Open Car, Trains and Way Out of here during the TTB tour!
Not the same without Gavin, John and Colin, but Steven's musicians are always top notch.
They play so tight!!!
2019 and still listening .... This is called Trains .. Thank You
i just can't explain how much i like this song
best band on a planet, everday i pray to the god for reunion of this beautiful band
This song is miracle!!
I'm fed up with listening to IDOL songs in JAPAN.
こんなの聞いてる日本人あまりいないね！尊敬！
Porcupine Tree what a great band still underestimated!
Taco Veldstra one of the greatest ever. I put them in the same league as The Beatles, The Who, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin. Just classic
i dont think so
Definitely up there with the great bands, much better than the Beatles though.
That piercing haunted note Wilson carries for the word "always" at 1:42 gets me every time! My favorite part of the song is the harmonies starting at 3:38. Fucking Genius!
I'm so happy this version is on Spotify ❤️
Everyday I hope and pray that PT would get back together. Your music is like no other and literally moves my soul!
A fan base that can actually keep correct time! What a great group!
This band was a match made in heaven, with perfect chemistry as musicians. The fact the Porcupine Tree are no longer a band is so sad, I want to see them live.
The ultimate progressive rock band.
Steven : we were doing so well
Gavin: ba dum tss
This is the track that got me into P.T. So many hours of enjoyment since. Exceptional! 😉
6:07 that scream allways kills me
1:52
He dominated the entire song until this moment.
Drummer comes in and the rest proceeds. These guys are great musicians
ONE OF THE BEST GROUP OF ROCK HİSTORY
6:15 it's just like goosebumps: ready, steady, go-go-go!
This man thought me to love music . And pain is the only purest form of art.
I got here because of Opeth but I stayed because of good music
When Opeth had their Lamentations DVD gig at Shepherd's Bush Empire back in 2003, Opeth gave me a backstage pass to hang out with them before and after the gig. As I walked into their room, a person walked out and we brushed shoulders. I apologized. Maybe two days after I was recalling the ecstasy of being at the gig and being the only one granted the backstage pass, I suddenly recalled the facial features of the person I bumped into and realized it was Steven Wilson!

Way better
I am over ten years late coming to PT, I was told by my sons drum tutor to listen to Gavin Harrison in PT to help with his practicing, did he Noooo. Shit I should have pushed him down that road and I wouldn’t just be discovering them now for gods sake.

Gavin Harrison
Colin Edwin is such a great bass player, never OTT, serves the songs perfectly!
One of the most beautiful songs and performances on the earth.
That is a performance that just cannot be replicated. Everything is on point there. The crowd, the bass, the drums, all the band. I love the faster tempo and different key. This performance is exceptional!
2020 and this is still incomparable.
Why are they so underrated?
This live is gorgeous
The bass and drums are spot on
Just discovered them.
Amazing band.
Real musicians.
Hooked.
Brilliant!!
Your journey has just begun!
January 2019....just discovered this band and Steven Wilson...I am ashamed. I passed this music in my youth. But happy to hear now this wonder of sound.
Most of you will agree or not.. but JOHN WESLEY completes the band in a very Beautiful Way..❤️❤️
Awesome song from one of my all time favourite bands.
Bingo!
John encouraging the clapping...he's just so cool!
This is just beautiful!!
"We were doing so well"
No Steve, you are doing perfectly well
This performance gives me shivers every single time
Steven a god .a legend .sadly unknown.deserves much more .
So many memories locked up in their keys. And really good to be back on the time travelling track.
This is an exceptional song - I discovered MANY years too late. Whenever I play it is played many many times on repeat.
6:20 you can feel it coming... YEAH!
One of the best Porcupine Tree performances
The introduction was funny as hell.
As a bald man, Steven Wilson makes me wanna join bosley or some shit....
That guy has the best head of hair I've ever seen...
I got chills when he played that chord at 0:59 AND I love how he says 'her' at 2:30
Yes! A great example of someone who understands the subtleties that can make music extraordinary.
One of the best music DVD's ever released. In fact, after this music DVD became obsolete.
What a performance! Incredible song!
I just stumbled across this band. This is my favorite style of music. Good.
I'm conflicted...
Is this gonna be my favorite band?
I have about 5 prospects...
This decision shouldn't be taken lightly...

Masterpiece performance
I can't stop loving this!
Perfection as usual by PT...feeling very lucky ,saw them live 6 times.
What a pleasure to hear such music
Geiler Song
it might seem awkward .. but while this song was playin in the car i had a race .. never felt so good the calm atmosphere the song made and the adrenaline of the race .. just perfection
The best Gavin's kit has probably ever sounded. Perfection
Gavin is a beast man!
I just love him playing ❤️
Goosebumps everytime i hear it. Masterpiece
They are Genius and way ahead of this time!!
This is stunning.
Very very very very very very very GOOD !!!
They sound so good live!
I just noticed, the run after the broken string may very well have been the foundation for Time Flies.
shit you’re right
In love with this song !
I never heard of these guys before today. I suspect that a company of assassins ran out of contracts and decided to form a band. Every spot in the band is occupied by a cold-blooded killer. They just mesmerize and slide the knife in and you never feel a thing. Smooth as silk.
5:12 This is why Trains live version is my favorite, beautiful, just beautiful😍
6:23 Gavin “I’ll-Take-It-From-Here” Harrison
His drum sound is fantastic, even if I listen on my phone. Mr Peart has retired and Mr. Harrison can inherit the throne.
Beautiful!
This is just great! Steven is great!
Why's no talking about les Weasley's guitar and his vocals? So damn beautiful
God. I remember an ex boyfriend sending me this song on MYSPACE.. I was instantly in love with the song and with Porcupine Tree. Steven Wilson is always pretty much a badass
Great song, and really good job on the editing. Of course that's what I watch.
What a great band and so underrated.
love
Shout out to the dude who yelled, "FREEBIRD" and “YEAAHHHH”! If you are ever in Minneapolis or Dhaka, I would like to buy you a drink.
I think I like this version better then the album version.
Arriving Somewhere Not Here (2006)
I think everyone does.
Hm, I don´t think so. The album version is more powerful, especially the part after 6:20.
The electric guitar is way too low in the mix in this video. If it was louder than the acoustic it would be far better.
Cool song I'm new to this band I like there style.
Thank you Jaiver!
You are welcome, sir! But it's not me whom you should thank, but the geniuses that gift us these masterpieces.
