You're doing all this free from patreon? You're a pimp, dude. Thank you for the sacrifice. If you decide to change your mind later, more power to you. If not, you're a beast and think of others more than yourself which is how it should be. My Mom tells me my heart is too big for my own good, as well, but there is no such thing as too much kindness. Thanks for looking out for us, man.
NNAAAHHHH JAMAL WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING OPEN TO HEARING AND LEAVING AND OPEN MIND TO MUSIC THAT SPEAK TO THE SOUL PLUS MUSIC WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO FULLY UNDERSTAND THE LYRICS IS HIGHLY APPRECIATED CAUSE MUSIC IS AN INTERNATIONAL LANUAGE FOR GOOD FEELIN
@Rick Jury, New Waterford Nova Scotia. Just why? What are you even doing here if not to watch someone experience something amazing for the first time and pass it on to future generations? Hate and anger have no place here. Go listen to some Pink Floyd, chill, and come back when you're ready to enjoy some great music and I'll try to be the first person to welcome you.
@Jamel_AKA_Jamal: you should check out this King Crimson performance where Gavin Harrison is just ONE of three drummers: music.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IpZxwe4SXY8.html

I'm 57 as well. Been following their body of work for a 10 years.. Being a drummer I have a real respect for Gavin Harrison's other worldly abilities. Welcome to the 🌲
@@6lillium thanks for the comments and links. I'm a big YES and King Crimson fan, along with ELP, Pink Floyd, RUSH, U.K., Dixie Dregs and others, and if you like jazz fusion, check out Brand X.
Steven Wilson, the single greatest musician of our time that almost no one is listening to. You could spend the next year immersing yourself in his library and not get to all of it. Check out Arriving Somewhere, Trains, A Smart Kid, Halo, What are You Listening To, the Watchmaker, The Sound of Muzak just to name a few.
Vala Rising nice taste indeed. Looks like you know about our lord. Shame he’s going into a totally different direction with his new stuff. I mean, still banging tune Personal Shopper that is, but hell, it’s such a waste he no longer dwelves into the prog/melancholic music heard throughout PT and early solo stuff. Remaindee The Black Dog isman absolute modern jazz metal masterpiece.
Rick Lambert, “A spaceship from another star, They ask me where all the people are. What can I tell them? I tell them I'm the only one. There was a war but I must have won. Please take me with you.” Kills me every time I hear it..
Radioactive Toy , Signify , INsignificance , Dark MAtter , Even less ,Drawing The line , Blind House , Bonnie The Cat , Drive The Hearse , Remember me lover , Black Dahlia , LAzarus , Occam's Razor, Flicker , Lightbulb sun, Four chords That made a million, Access Denied , Dislocated Day , Glass Arm Shattering , MOther and Child Divided , Futile , Cheating the Polygraph ufff .....
Vala Rising I could not agree more. These guys were so incredible. Like you said, Steven Wilson’s library is so extensive, chuck full of highest quality music that is phenomenal.
Porcupine Tree's mastermind, Steve Wilson, has probably the most emotionally devastating music video of all time, called Routine. I would love to see you react to that one.
Kudos to whomever it was that suggested this song to Jamel. This was the perfect introduction into the greatness that is Porcupine Tree....one of my all-time favorite bands for sure. Great reaction!
The best band you never heard of. :))) I've been loving these guys since the late 90s. They were very much Pink Floyd-ian at first, then Steven Wilson started getting into metal, like Opeth. He's also a big RUSH fan. The addition of the drummer Gavin Harrison, who joined the band in the early 2000's, just solidified the switch, but they still kept PF influences. From this live DVD, the first song, Fear of Blank Planet, really sets the mood. This is one of the greatest live concerts ever recorded.....
@@HollowGolem Wow! I never knew that either. I am a huge Rush fan. Wit Peart gone thre weil be no more Rush but I would love seeing Geddy and Alex doing guest spots on other artists albums like that.
Trains is absolutely my favorite song of theirs. Not just musically, but ... That was the first PT album I ever bought, and the first time I heard that song I instantly connected it with my grandfather, who died when I was a little kid and who was obsessed with trains. It made me think about being a little kid in my grandfather's house looking at all his train shit. And then I found out that he wrote that song out of nostalgia for his own youth, when he lived near a train station.
Thanks for turning some of us on to this band.... Never heard of them before, but dang.... i hear early Pink Floyd, YES and even some Alice in Chains in this song. Off to Spotify!!!!!! ❤👏
If you like the mellower parts of this, check out their earlier albums (Lightbulb Sun, Up the Downstair, Signify, Sky Moves Sideways, Stupid Dream). If you like the more aggressive bits, check out this album (Fear of a Blank Planet) as well as the two immediately before it (In Absentia and Deadwing). Really great music all around, though. Steven Wilson's been with other groups (Opeth's Blackwater Park album features him heavily, also there's Blackfield, another band he was in), as well as had a great solo career. He's got a new album out this year, in fact.
Make sure to get one of the high resolution mixes, Steven Wilson (singer songwriter) doesn't mess around on his mixes. Side note, he is the man behind recent remasters of Yes & Jethro Tull. His solo project has one album, The Raven That Refused to Sing, that was produced by the legendary Alan Parsons.
Thank you... THANK YOU!!!!! Porcupine Tree is rumored to be reuniting! It's from the mind of Steven Wilson, the main singer/vocalist. But Gavin Harrison is one of the greatest drummers ever!!! This is my favorite song by them, and one of their best performances!!!
Man, I'd love it if those rumors are true. But honestly, the Steve Wilson solo stuff is equally great. Along with Blackfield. Damn, anything Wilson touches.
Just saw them live almost two weeks ago. There are really no words to describe how incredible that gig was. :") I still can't recover from experiencing Anesthetize live...
I really love you!!! This is one of my favorite songs!! I really love porcupine tree and Steven Wilson. That song brings me very good memories with my friends. My heart feels a lot of beautiful sensations. Thank you so much for this video. Was amazing!!!!! Greetings from México!!!
I was lucky enough to see them live on this tour, when they played this song you could hear a pin drop in a packed house. It was religious...truly a highlight of my experiences with live music.
I'm another guy in my 50s that's heard about Porcupine Tree but never REALLY listened much until a few weeks ago. Really impressive stuff! 1st time hearing this track.... that was great!!
Some must listen music from them: -Trains -Voyage 34 -Arriving Somewhere but not hear -Lazarus -Watchmaker -Last chance to evacuate planet earth before it is recycled and many more...
Watchmaker is Steven Wilson solo, as is the Luminol suggestion below. Honestly, I love everything Porcupine Tree, but his solo stuff is probably even better. Ancestral, Luminol, Raven That Refused To Sing, Routine, HomeInvasion/Regret #9, No Part of Me, Abandoner... all amazing and different
Anesthetize, Fear of a Blank Planet, Sentimental, Way out of Here, Blackest Eyes, The Sound of Muzak, Prodigal, Heartattack in a Layby, The Start of Something Beautiful, Waiting Phase One, The Sleep of No Dreaming and... DARK MATTER (One of the best solos I've ever heard)
Dive deeper into their back catalog along with Steven Wilson's (singer) solo, you will not be disappointed! While you are at it listen to Riverside, an amazing prog group from Poland. Rhey are right up there musically and lyrically.
Steven Wilson has spoken about Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" being a huge influence in his childhood... oddly, concurrent with Donna Summer's "Love to Love You." His parents gave each other those albums one Christmas, and young Steven was drawn in by the sound and production techniques of both. He's been quoted as saying he's primarily a producer (he's self-produced all the PT albums, as well as his solo discs).
You hit the jackpot. Porcupine Tree and Gavin Harrison are pure gold. Give a listen to the live version of "In Exile" from one of his other bands, Pineapple Thief.
As much as I love Gavin Harrison and his influence in The Pineapple Thief...their best work is pre-Gavin. That being said though, Gavin gives them a whole new dimension live. But for The Pineapple Thief I would also suggest Part Zero, Vapour Trails, Parted Forever, November, Tightly Unwound, And So Say All of You, The Final Thing on my Mind, Preparation for Meltdown, Bitter Pill. Could have mentioned a few more, but gotta stop somewhere!
One of the best bands ever, thanks for posting this, every one of the bands musicians are super talented, just brilliant. All their songs are just amazing
Oh man, I asked for this a while ago. Porcupine Tree and everything Steven Wilson does is gold! Edit: This song is from a concept album "Fear of a Blank Planet". It is loosely based on a book, Lunar Park, where the book is from the point of view of the father. On Porcupine Tree's albums, it's from the point of view of the son. The son goes through the common problems in today's modern age; pill's problems, addiction ("Blank"), technology, needless consumer spending, suicide, etc. It's my favorite PT album but they have done a ton of great albums, sadly no longer together. But the main guy that started PT as a solo project, Steven Wilson, is a musical genius and is still making really good music under his own name. Try "Routine" or "The Raven that refused to sing" or "Drive Home", the official music videos for those are amazingly well done and are heart wrenching to watch but still beautiful!
I saw a lot of band in live, but I never saw and heard that kind of perfectionism like on the Porcupine Tree concert. The sound, the performance, everything was clear and flawless.
Besides P.Tree and his many solo albums and tours, some of which have Guthrie Govan on guitar, Steven Wilson has also taken many classic albums (eg. King Crimson, Yes, Roxy Music, etc.) and remixed them in stereo and 5.1 surround sound.
I was here, at this concert, first row (just right of that camera dolly track in the front) ... Took both my dad and my dad in law to this concert. It was awesome! I'd love to see you react to 'way outta here'. Once again a quite heavy subject. But a brilliant song.
go for broke and do both. :) The song+video is difficult enough; after that, follow up with the RAH soundcheck version with Ninet Tayeb doing all the vocals. Powerful work.
“Electricity from the pills in me, It’s all in me, all in you.” Referring to some of the side effect of anti-depression medication like Paxil that makes your nerves tingle, particularly in the scalp.
@@Itsunclegabby most likely. They're horrible, took almost a year for mine to go away, had to quit them cold turkey because of how rapidly worse they were making me
Oh man, those brain zaps... this album really helped out me a lot when I was going through the deepest depression of my life. It helped me understand that I wasn't the only one who had gone through it and that there'd be a way out.
Interesting thing about Gavin Harrison is that he was a pop music drummer once he came to Porcupine Tree he had an opportunity to really showcase his skill as a drummer.I bet you most pop band drummers would probably love a similar opportunity to really show off their drumming capabilities especially since alternative and pop music is very restrictive when it comes to an artist being able to experiment.
THANK YOU! I love your reactions. And THIS song and video.... I'm almost 70 years old, and I listen to this damn song almost every day. It's a masterpiece, in my opinion. Thanks for reacting to it!
Thank you for giving props to the greatest band ever conceived! Steven Wilson's solo projects are RIDICULOUSLY artistic, too. PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE do a video of his song "Regret #9." Guthrie Govan's guitar solo in that song belongs on the list of "greatest solos ever," right alongside Comfortably Numb.
I discovered PT last year,and the more I listen to them, the more I love all their music. I believe they split up in 2011, sad , but so many gorgeous songs to savor!
I think they will probably return like most bands do when the time is right. With all that is going on right now in the world and all that has transpired within the last 5 years I’m certain that PT will have a lot to say.
So glad you reacted to this band and song. This song is amazing. Caught this band in concert when they came to San Francisco. They will blow your mind live. Steven Wilson is now a solo artist, but he solo songs are just as amazing. Can't wait to see react to more Porcupine Tree!
Porcupine Tree is one of those bands that remains and will remain legendary in the world of Progressive Rock and Progressive Metal. I had the opportunity to see them live here in Dallas on April 20, 2010. Nine months later, my son was born. This band has a special place in my heart.
Few interesting notes. On the studio version of this song the first guitar solo is performed by Alex Lifeson of Rush. Also, one of Neil Peart’s favorite drummers is Gavin Harrison. He is a monster drummer. You should do more Porcupine Tree. Hatesong live in Chicago Open Car live in Chicago Arriving Somewhere live in Chicago Way Out of Here live from Tilburg
Bro!!! Can’t believe you did this song! Couldn’t believe my eyes when this popped up on my feed!!! Porcupine Tree is one of the most underrated bands of all time.
Fun facts: the solo on the studio version of this is by Alex Lifeson of Rush. 2) Steven Wilson was heavily involved in some opeth albums. Even mixed some of the more recent ones. Glad you're finally checking out PT. Hope you check more and some of Stevens solo work too. Also, Blackfield is worth a look too.
Here are the lyrics: A good impression of myself Not much to conceal I'm saying nothing But I'm saying nothing revealed I simply am not here No way I should appear happy Stop whining please Because of who we are We react in mock surprise The curse off, there must be more So don't breathe here Don't leave your bags I simply am not here No way I should appear happy Stop whining please The dust in my soul Makes me feel awake in my legs My head in the clouds And I'm zoning out I'm watching TV But I find it hard to stay conscious I'm totally bored But I can't switch off Only apathy from the pills in me Its all in me, all in you Electricity from the pills in me Its all in me, all in you Only eMpTV, cod philosophy We're lost in the mall Shuffling through the stores like zombies What is the point What can money buy My hand's on a gun And I find the range, God, tempt me What did you say Think I'm passing out Only apathy from the pills in me Its all in me, all in you Electricity from the pills in me Its all in me, all in you Only eMpTV, cod philosophy All the apathy from the pills in me Its all in me, all in you Electricity from the pills in me Its all in me, all in you Water so warm that day (water so warm that day) I counted out the waves (I counted out the waves) As they broke into The water so warm that day I was counting out the waves And I followed their short life As they broke on the shoreline I could see you But I couldn't hear you You were holding your hat in the breeze Turning away from me in this moment You were stolen as black across the sun Water so warm that day (water so warm that day) I counted out the waves (I counted out the waves) As they broke into shore (as they broke into shore)
Some of these lyrics are wrong by the way. Saying nothing with feel Shut up be happy The curse OF there must be more Feel the weight in my legs Only MTV and cod philosophy As they broke into surf I smiled into the sun There's black across the sun
having stumbled upon your videos reacting to Weird Al parodies, I enjoyed them so much I went into your back catalog and watched most of your Pink Floyd reactions. I loved watching you fall in love with their music! I had never even heard of Porcupine Tree before today... I now have new music to explore thanks to you!!
@@MR-ml2po Yeah, I saw them last summer at The Crocodile in Seattle, it was the last stop on the North American tour. I briefly spoke to Maruisz when he walked out of the venue and saw a kid wearing a Lunatic Soul shirt and had to stop in shock that someone knew of that project. I only wish I would have seen them before Piotr died...
As someone who's been a fan of Porcupine Tree for nearly 20 years and saw them live at Radio City Music Hall just before they went on hiatus, I absolutely get CHILLS watching people who've never heard them get the same feeling I got the first time I heard In Absentia and Lightbulb Sun. Thanks for putting this out there for everyone. Trust me folks, their discography is simply stunning from day 1 through The Incident....
Jason C Reading your comment I could totally relate to myself! I’ve been their fan since Lightbulb Sun, their music was a soundtrack of me growing up, all the way from teenager I was then to grown up man I’m today. I love everything they ever released. Probably In Absentia is the album I return to the most. I have never seen PT live but luckily saw SW twice.
Thank you, thank you Jamel for doing my fave band 😊. Another awsome PT live song :”Hatesong” or “Arriving somewhere but not here”. Steven Wilsons solo work is great too. I can recommend “Ancestral” or “Luminol”. Great reaction 😊
Glad to se a brother listening to and appreciating a PHENOMENAL BAND THAT TOO FEW PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT. By the grace of God, a friend I haven't seen in 10 years introduced me to them and I've admired them ever since. These men are STRAIGHT GENIUS and Wilson is TOO TALENTED FOR WORDS. Lastly, the drum man WENT OFF in this song too
Something I love about this song is even in its heavy moments it's still keeping a chill vibe. It's really quite the accomplishment and kind of a new frontier to explore as far as incorporating metal in ways that don't always have to be aggressive and in your face.
Steven Wilson being one god of musician is something will forever be underappreciated. Somewhere even he prefers it and so do I. Although most of albums from PT and SW have hit the top charts by the grace of his fiercely loyal fan base. He is one musician who keeps giving unique things to anybody who has an appetite for music, and mysteriously does it right, every-single-time.
Oh yes yes! I'd recommend to look up Steven Wilson (the main singer) solo stuff! Please react to "Routine" or "Drive Home" music videos from him! You're the man!!
So glad you finally got to see/hear this song. It's an absolute masterpiece of song writing and performance. So many builds and dynamic drops all building to the crescendo only to drift off into the sublime. Once again I appreciate you and the way you present great music. Thank you!
Kind of like you brother, I am 58 and first heard a song by Porcupine Tree which had came out years ago. Rush and Zep fan, never heard of these guys and was so pissed to find out they had broke up years ago. Happy to see that Steve has brought the band back together so I can see what I missed ;years ago. 2024 will be the year of a full tour in the USA, I will pay whatever it takes to get the best seats. Thanks for reacting to Steve and the Porcupine. This amazing music was never played on rock stations in the Twin Cities.
Omfg!! I have been hoping youd do this for so damn long!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! their song Arriving somewhere but not here live is also epic! Thank you man!
Steven Wilson's solo work... Steven Wilson - Routine (Music Video) You will cry. I'll delete my RU-vid account if you don't tear up. That's how sure I am. 🤷🏻♂️
