Steven Wilson, described by The Telegraph as ‘the most successful British musician most people have never heard of’ embarked on his hugely ambitious sold-out To The Bone world tour in 2018. Founder and frontman of adored outsider rock band Porcupine Tree; one half of Blackfield; a Grammy nominated back catalogue remixer for acts like Roxy Music, King Crimson and Tears for Fears, as well as a solo artist hugely respected for a series of visionary LPs, from 2008’s Insurgentes, to his bestselling album To The Bone. Home Invasion celebrates the very best from across his career so far, presented as a cinematic multi-media show with glorious visualisations and outstanding musicianship. This stunning concert film was captured on the final night of his three night sold out residency at the Royal Albert Hall, London in March 2018, concerts which were hailed by media and fans alike as among the very best shows of the year.
Director - James Russell
Producer - Andy Derbyshire
Am I the only one who got amazed from Craig Blundell's drum work here? Definitely deserves more attention.
His drum cam of Ancestral is fucking brilliant.. you need to watch that vid.. a perfect replacement for Marco 😎
Burak Efe Arslantaş live he is so incredible. He played both times I say Steven and I’m a drummer so I was bummed at first but wow what a talent really. Hard shoes to fill but this man is just as capable as GH
@@chasonwestmoreland248 agreeing with you on this one
He posts a lot cool bits on his FB
I remember the rant he had to deal when he first got the gig.
7:20 Behold, THE PROG DANCE!!!
Underrated
Lol
Alex and Nick groovin while Steven just stands there like a psychopath
Starts @ 6:54 :)
We all know that Steven Wilson is a genius but can't we just appreciate the remarkable cinematography of this live concert? What a masterpiece!
This is one of the best shot concert films I've ever seen. It really does the music justice and brings the whole thing to a new level.
@@Agropio I tell people to use this DVD as a reference for how a live mix should sound like. And agree on the video cinematography too.
I especially love how there aren't a lot of unnecessary shots of the audience, just the band. This is probably the best shot concert I've ever seen.
This is outstanding, I think that Steven Wilson is easily at the level of David Gilmour, Frank Zappa, etc an absolute genius since his beginnings with No Man, the instrumentals with IEM, the magnificence of Porcupine Tree, his solo career, collaborations in tremendous albums like Damnation and Deliverance, Storm Corrosion by example his carrer impresses me.
And the "worse " part is that he seems younger than ever.
Steven is an amazing songwriter but he can’t hold up to Zappa’s musicality.
@@IBJ57 Nested tuplet nonsense isn't the only form of musicality; so if for once Steven isn't up with Zappa in that kind of musical display, Zappa is also miles below in terms of, say, memorable melody writing, for example.
I don't think he is at the level of Frank Zappa. I like Steve but his music is kinda predictable. Sometimes he plays the same boring chord for tooo many seconds, which really makes it tiring and repetitive. Playing his music is also a bit boring.
@@ukhio That's because it's the whole ensemble of the piece of music that matters and not only for example : A guitar playthrough
6:59 When someones finds your secrets in your garden shed
blackest eyes reference
Good Lord!!!
Yasssss
10:25 And after you get it back
When you realise Mikael Akerfeldt is straight.
Neil Peart is gone, Chris Squire is gone but when I see musicians like this, the future of prog is bright !
I know people always talk about Gavin and Marco, and I love their drumming with all my heart and soul, but man did the drummer absolutely bring it with this song.
@rannanbrakay Craig Blundell kicks ass. Period. Dude has some serious chops ❤️
It's sad that many cling to Gavin and Porcupine Tree, when Craig (who is a phenomenal drummer) is playing as well as he does during each of Steven's shows. Each of them brings their own flavour to each track.
@Matt Henke hahahaha I bet he suffered lots during silences
Marco and Gavin are different, and whilst Craig is a fantastic drummer, to me he sounds less organic. It's just my taste. Same for Guthrie. I was there live with them and loved it.
Blundell is by all accounts an excellent drummer, comparing him to Gavin and/or Marco is like comparing different blends of coffee and being upset that none of them is tea.
6:58 when you watch your buddy talk to the cute girl you've had a crush on and she laughs.
And she laughs in 12:04
genius
Excellent
Hahaha you genius! XD I laughed way too hard!
😂😬
6:59 When you find out Steven's new album is delayed until January
Really until January??? Fuck . . .
@@DoubleDoubleU yes january 2021 sadly
I was trying to forget that. Imma cry in a corner now...
sad
woah isnt that like 70 years from now? idk if i can wait that long
6:58 "The Robert Fripp stare"
haha! exactly!
Absolutely right
hahahahaha
Also reminds me of Maynard James Keenan stare. Like somebody just ate his cereal.
great minds think alike
You can't possibly be that good!
Steven Wilson: Yes.
Amazing rendition of legendary govan's solo by alex hutching
This solo >>>
@@zabelzardok eh what?
@@Levelermakelevel truth lel
An album that will stand the test of time. HCE.
The integrity of that bassist's pony tail braid is truly impressive
Nick Beggs’ pony tail has a mind of its own
I don't how people are so quietly sitting on that solo, I would've fainted out if I was there
100% ! Alex Hutchings is phenomenal
What a talented musician. Such beautiful music.
Musicians*
The best
@@jensharald9091 yeah but Craig is not as good as gavin. The gutarist not as good as Guthrie ect.
@@austin5732 nobody is as good as Guthrie
This (by Guthrie) solo has to be one of the greatest solos of all time 🔥
But there's no Guthrie in this version?
Selueen sadly no
Ugh, I wondered right away where Guthrie was. It's still beautiful though.
Great tone too
Totally agree!
Seeing and hearing this song live is an experience I'll never forget
Lucky you !
@@OmarSellami i was about to comment the same..lol
It was an amazing concert and me and my friend wept when they played the song of unborn as my friend had his first baby as a premature birth (10 weeks) and the baby was in the emergency care at hospital at the time of concert.
Idem ! Unforgettable 🙏
I love SW vocals. They're not flashy but instead his vocals are like oxygen... refreshing and pure, enjoyable, and often overlooked.
the singing in the second chorus is impressive
Yes because you need oxygen in order to breathe, which obviously you need to sing 😉
oxygen is often overlooked? 😊
I love how Wilson always performs soo well on stage. His voice gets an edge and an underlying power that gives so much more to his songs. Truly amazing performer.
One of the very few artists who I like even BETTER live. In a live setting, a lot of vocalists either improv their vocal melodies too much, lack power, run out of breath, or get way too pitchy. SW suffers from none of these issues and he stays very close to the original, while adding that bit of edge you mention
This might be the most overwhelming song that he could possibly play on stage. I just can't wait to hear him live.
It is. I saw that tour in Toronto in 2018 and was shocked that he played that. I only started to listen to him in August 2017, but quickly became a favourite.
My first time listening to this song was live, my brain had melted by the end
I cried both times. It’s more than you could imagine it’s so heavy emotionally. But that is the point hahahah
Seeing SW perform this live last winter was one of the most beautiful things I have ever experienced in my young life. He's a really sweet guy, too.
The Steven Wilson Infamous 6 are his most emotionally compromising material live:- Raven, Routine, Drive Home, The Watchmaker, My Ashes, and Heartattack In A Layby. They're almost too sad.
I remember crying like a baby when i saw him perform this song just 5 feet away from me at Bacardi NH7 Weekender 2016 at Pune, India!
Lucky man!!
The use of silence, sound, simple melody, intricate patterns and the energy reminds one of the legacy left by Beethoven. Beautifully performed. It gives the feel of listening to Beethoven on modern instruments....
6:58 When you've been to every grocery store in town and there is still no toilet paper.
HAHAHAHAHAHA OMG YOU MAKE MY DAY
Lol
Now memer's have to see this 😂
I really laughed on this one :)))
The best solo song from Steven. And absolutely outstanding performance, despite Theo and Marco absence
and Guthrie Goven too!
@@Mandeepd13 It's not "despite" the absence of the above musicians that this is an "outstanding performance", but *thanks* to the presence of Alex Hutchings (lead guitar), Craig Blundell (drums) -- and of course Adam, Nick and Steven. Personally, I prefer Alex's guitar tone versus Guthrie's.
@@nitram419 Alex is absolutely great! In fact I mentioned Theo absence because Ancestral (for me) needs that flute part in the first verse. And Marco of course did a magnificent work back in that days.
@@nitram419 Guthrie is a bit more creative, but Alex made it his own and did a phenomenal job here!
Years later, I didn't realize how much I liked Ancestral until I heard this live version.
Honestly I find his live stuff is just so much better. Not that the studio version isn't good, but he just sounds so good live and theres some added stuff that they do live that isn't on the studio version that I like alot, especially with the drummer. I feel the same about porcupine tree too.
@Nathan Pickering: I agree. Works for me in the same way. I am not very fond of SW solo work, untill i have heard it live. I do not own any SW solo album, (i do own a lot PT albums though!) but i listen to his live concerts while i am working and watch live concerts when i am home alone.
It's always one of my favorite songs from sw
Is no one mentioned Alex hutchings here ? incredible guitar solo here 🔥🔥
The part from 00:00 to 13:26 was superb! Ingenius stuff!
I can listen to this drumming for weeks, it's absolutely mind-blowing.
I'm permanently in love with Marco's style, and of course no one is a SW fan without being also a Gavin Harrison fan, but Blundell does something really unique with his live performance of this song.
I don't think there's a better way to honor such an amazing and complex song like this than performing it in a very unique and brilliant fashion. There's not a single fill that's repeated or bland, there's no missed opportunity to work on the hats, I mean...
Simply untouchable performance by a truly great drummer.
i could not agree more. Phenomenal drumming performance.
It's just a shame, he's so boring to look at, wheres the eyeliner 😅
3:55: My God, what a moment, chills down my spine. I love how Steven keeps challenging his vocals as well.
PS - The editing on this is just brilliant.
Agreed, though in this particular section (and in many other parts of the concert that I attended) a major singing credit is also due for Nick Beggs (who performs the backing vocals as well as his virtuoso bass playing).
Pretty funny, a few hours ago I said to myself, "It has been a few weeks since I listened to any Wilson/Porcupine Tree." This vid pops up on the right hand side of the screen a few hours later. I watch it so now I'm on a Wilson/Porcupine Tree binge for the rest of the night.....Good Stuff.......
This song is so great. Helped me introduce a lot of my friends to the brilliance of Steven Wilson
Alex Hutchings, Outstanding Player ! What a solo ! Taste / feel / Excitement ....
Alex Hutchings is such a ballsy player. I love Dave, I did not like how his interpretation of Guthrie's solo too far different in melody. Alex though, just kinda took it and made it his own. Mad props.
Craig is such a solid drummer. He can handle anything the song demands, never losing his cool.
He'd be a good AC-DC Back up drummer 😮😅
The brilliance of King Crimson, Yes, Genesis and Jethro Tull combined...
That drumming (drummer) has got to be one of the cleanest, crisp, impeccable timing, and an incredible musical interpretation of this song. That cat tore this up. Holy Chops Batman! Lol. That Snare? Good God! Perfection. All drummers should take note. An incredible display of organic musicality and calm. He forced nothing, yet explosive drive. Bravo Zulu to that man. And Alex's solo? Sweet. The entire song/musicians just off the charts.
Craig such an amazing drummer. I hope Steven brings him back for more projects.
He would like but he tends to stink the dressing room out....apparently 😢
A masterpiece from Steven Wilson, a genius😍❤️
It sounds 100 times better here than on the album for some reason. Also whatever they are doing starting at 10:08 is precious.
By far the music that best reflects the title.
Music, rhythm, 'ballet' everything is truly ANCESTRAL
All hail the lead guitarist...my god...
Steven Wilson and the boys are amazing musicians🖤 Steven Wilson is a living legend and always will be my favorite artist🖤 so much emotional and lovely times with his music🖤
First time I've heard this song and I'm blown away. The melody also has a strong Porcupine Tree sound to it. Only the top musicians can play this live, let alone write it in the first place.
No wonder it sounds like PT as he is the main songwriter in that one too. This song is insane and takes huge amount of talent to pull off live indeed.
The incredible work by Craig and Marco with Steven Wilson makes you conclude that Gavin Harrison is not a drummer. He's God.
I remember when I got to watch him live and they played a PT song, Lazarus. It was such an emotional moment for everyone in the crowd. This guy makes masterpieces!
[Verse 1]
Reason never seems to come to guilty men
Things that meant so much mean nothing in the end
Their function is dysfunction and to hide the truth
Distracted by their faith, ignoring every proof
[Chorus]
A bicycle
A garden wall
A mother's call
A love is born
And after all the sleep that falls on me
[Verse 2]
And in the city there are those that live alone
Twilight brings them from the gloom into our homes
And hiding there among the wreckage left behind
They see things that haunt them when they close their eyes
[Bridge]
Come back if you want to
And remember who you are
'Cause there's nothing here for you my dear
And everything must pass
When the world doesn't want you
It will never tell you why
You can shut the door, but you can't ignore
The crawl of your decline
(Child, come child, come) Come back if you want to
(Child, come child, come)
(Child, come child, come) Come back if you want to
(Child, come child, come) COME BAAAAAACK
[Guitar solo: Guthrie Govan]
A bicycle
A garden wall
A mother's call
A love is born
And after all the sleep that falls on me...
Wilson cały czas się rozwija muzycznie to fenomen dziś jeszcze nie zrozumiały dla wielu.
Nice one Alex, you just melted my face off with that solo.
I gained a new appreciation for this song after hearing it live.
6:58 he's 50, still his skin looks younger than mine at 20.
Music is the Secret
Vegan!! Doesn't drink much or smoke either.
@@henrikkaupang7704 Steven is a vegetarian, as far as I know.
Steven Wilson is - The Alan Parsons Project, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Supertramp, King Crimson of today! Thank you, Steven Wilson, for continuing to make our life beautiful when we thought there was no more such great music!
One of my favorites! A lot of King Crimson influence in this song. Greetings from Mexico! 🤘🇲🇽
odd time signatures are not property of king crimson :3
@Salsabil Ahmed Shrestho no one claimed they are
How about this for an influence. Check the second half of the song. ua-cam.com/video/vzyOi5XRu_g/v-deo.html
@@polyphony250 Nice!!! :D
A well spend 13:26 on a Sunday morning.
The bassist is just something else!
a magical evening, when concerts were allowed and live music was my favorite drug! :)
Wow, I really missed Marco when SW started touring without him but Craig absolutely nails this! WOW
I don't have words for this performance, Mr Wilson. You're Legend!
I can seriously listen to this song everyday and still be amazed by it every single time. It's just mind blowing.
Same
One of my most favorite tracks of all time. I want Steven playing at my funeral.
Been waiting for this almost 2 years
This song drives me mad, it's so good
May I just take this moment to point out how over the top the bassist is on stage!
We all know that Gavin is literally a god, but this drumming here is in a league of its own.
Steven, wow. You just keep getting better and better. Amazing compositions and performances. I Love you man. Awesome stuff.
Very talented musician ... Beautiful .
This gives me so much joy, thanks for all the beautiful music you make, true art
Omg i just loved it, its incredible the composition and the feeling of this song
Amazing! I appreciate all of Mr. Wilson's music ! Thank you for posting this.
Im so sorry to say this.....this just makes me miss Porcupine Tree soooo much it hurts me inside.
For me this is the most brilliant song of Steven Wilson’s solo work and Craig Blundell is absolutely phenomenal at the drums!! Goosebump-moment around minute 9, wish I could see this live again xxx
What a masterpiece. Thank you Steven. The world needed this video.
I love your music! Thanks for posting it!!
Absolutely love this song, and they nailed it live too. Incredible stuff.
Video editing reaches a surreal level.
I've seen this several times live, at least four or five times attending Porcupine Tree and maybe 8 times seeing Steven Wilson live. Can't wait for the next tour.
This song never fails to give me goosebumps ...these guys are so tight never breaking a sweat ..this is just perfection
I can watch these live SW videos all day
This performance is really something else.
Excellent! Love these guys! Can't wait to see them again live! I really Miss concerts!
3:00 the song is unbelievable. 4:00 the riff is unbelievable. UNBELIEBABLE.
Absolutely amazing!
I ve been at two shows of this tour. And these where the most awesome live music experiences I had ever been !
Beautiful and heart touching!
Pure gold!!!
One of my favorite songs from this concert, it was so awesome, I wish I was there
Gets better every time. Amazing...
There is so much love in his music !...what a genious !...thank you...Steven...

Simply brilliant, guys!
Sublime. Wish I could have been there.
Just another epic Steven Wilson masterpiece.
The entire band is amazing! Wow!
I was there on the Wednesday eve gig and this was truly incredible. The sound quality alone, just Wow.
I am blessed to have seen this.
I've had a great time listening to the song.Steven Wilson is a big master.
Best song I've ever heard... epic!!!
At one point there I didn't think the drummer was gonna make it! What an absolute beast.
I don't think he did 😢...the clown 🤣
Great song and album Steven!
This song is so incredibly cool and good. I absolutely can't wait to see him live again
The level of musical virtuosity here is stunning.
Absolutely outstanding.
This is pure art
