Oh man, this is awesome! I saw this show in 2005 as well, but not in Chicago, but in DC at the 930 Club. I saw them open for Yes prior to this in 2002 when In Absentia came out, and loved it, but after this 2005 show, I was bat-shit crazy about this band and still am! Just saw them in DC again back in September 2022 at The Anthem. Breath-taking band!! Also saw them live in 2007 at The Berkley in Boston when Fear of a Blank Planet came out. I love anything Steven Wilson does!!
I would have loved to see them live during this tour, I missed their second last gig in 2010. I'm so happy I got to see them in London during 2022 and in Manchester a year later.
Hey there !! I own the original DVD and this is one of my favourite concerts I've ever watched. I loooove Porcupine Tree and this sounds spectacular!! 👌 It would be so brilliant if Steven Wilson released this again. Anyway thank you for doing this as it's amazing to hear it in such high quality.
No problem at all! I would have loved to see them live during this tour, I missed their second last gig in 2010. I'm so happy I got to see them in London during 2022 and in Manchester a few weeks ago.
Unfortunately the bass player Nate Nevarro had a serious family crisis and needed to fly home to the States to be with his loved ones. Through the magic of technology Nate’s bass was still heard at the show, even if you couldn't see him.
@@gerd5479 I was speaking to Ian Bond, Steven's long time FOH engineer, he was saying because of the live album multiple shows were recorded at the desk, so it wasn't a big deal to use the base stems from them recordings live. They're all on in ears so timing isn't a issue. They aren't using a 'laptop.'
@@ryanpatterson906 I am aware that they are recording shows with a view to a live album release and that they play to a click. The bass is no longer provided by a bass player playing live, rather it is generated from previous recordings. I can only imagine that if not a laptop. that some type of computing technology is essential in facilitating this process, no more than being a requirement for the recording of the gigs in the first place.

@@ryanpatterson906 I was at the gig too and it was fantastic... When Steven explained about the bass player I couldn't understand how they'd make it work, (time delay etc). Still, it was a memorable evening. Great band & great crowd too. 👍🏻
