Porcupine Tree - Dark Matter Live 

This is by far the BEST band most people have not heard of.

The synth work in the intro gives me chills everytime.

Man, John Wesley is so great. Gavin is just amazing. Steven will have nothing but the best with him and I respect that.

Love both the PRS used by Steven. Simple amazing.

Music that feels so good! Pure genius

So Pink Floyd-esque. Love this song.

Yes I am here again in 2023 these guys are awesome 😎

Raise your hand if your brain is constantly playing this song on your head 18 hours a day (specially the solo)

Every instruments lead part n the singer killd me already 13 years ago 🤗🎸💞🍫🎵

BEST Version of this song!

Everything Ends, Only The Dark Matter Remains...

Sad that Steven doesn't solo as much on his solo stuff. Out of all the guitarists he's ever worked with, the only one I think is superior is Guthrie. Steven's a tremendous guitarist

Listening to this i feel like being in heaven :D

The best!

The greatest Pink Floyd song, Floyd has never written...unbelievable heart and soul is breathing out of this song. Epic.

4:56 "Hey there, like my drumming?"

Amazing

Wesley is just the mutts nuts

❤

Whats its the motive,make bad rosemay in riverflow?

너무 좋아

tightest band live. ever.

Anyone here now

Richard Barbieri is really underrated I think. He may not be a very technical keyboard player like Jordan Rudess, but he is a master when it comes to creating soundscapes and filling up the empty spaces of the music with so much atmosphere.

Note a single note wasted, everything in its right place.

Who's watching this in 3027?

You just had have a heavy session of electroshock theraphy and you are more relaxed that you have been in weeks. All those childhood traumas magically wiped away along with your personality.

Dark Matter in 7/8, and The Start of Something Beautiful in 9/8 verse and 5/8 chorus is an interesting mix of rhythms. They make odd times seem so natural. It gives their music a unique feel. I know how important story craft is to writing fiction. PT does a great job with song crafting.

The only prog band that doesnt insult the 60's&70's.Take it from me....I was there.

Universe=Music Industry, Dark matter=Porcupine Tree

I am a drummer and i like the way that Gavin Harrison plays , he's just awesome. You all should see him.

Inside the vehicle the cold is extreme Smoke in my throat kicks me out of my dream I try to relax but its warmer outside I fail to connect, it's a tragic divide This has become a full time career To die young would take only 21 years Gun down a school or blow up a car The media circus will make you a star Dark matter flowing out on to a tape Is only as loud as the silence it breaks Most things decay in a matter of days The product is sold the memory fades Crushed like a rose In the river flow I am I know

Far and away my favorite band! Only sadness is that I discovered them so late, and because of that, may never see them live... Thanks for posting!

Man there is a lot of headspace in this song for you to wander in. They pull you in, and let you drift, then pull you back, and set you adrift, over and over. It amazes me how they create such a feeling of depth and space, yet closeness. This song is like trying to touch the stars.

That smile at min 7:10 says everything

I want this fucking song on my funeral.

Probably one of PT's finest tracks.

One of, if not in my opinion, the finest songs Porcupine Tree ever recorded. Wish Steven Wilson would reunite this line-up...

The whole band enjoys Steven's solo, amazing performance, beautiful song.

I simply cannot get enough of this song.... can't fully explain it in words... because this song is truly one of the most emotionally charged experiences I have had the pleasure of feeling. The last 3 minutes of this song is unparalleled

I forgot how incredible the guitar solo in this is...very uplifting.

Heard this version 100s of times and Steven's solo still gives me goose bumps. Just the best band ever.

I can't believe how could someone dislike this music, this guys are magical! They are like a fantasy, they are a myth and they will be a legend for sure. They are from another dimension, progressive/psychodelic rock/metal is an another dimension genre.

That solo is incredible/the proper way to play. Such amazing tone and phrasing

Agreed, Steven. Now stop playing around with production and mixing and stuff and MAKE ANOTHER GREAT ALBUM WITH P TREE

the ecstasy of the gods

Maybe Porcupine Tree wouldn’t be around without the likes of Pink Floyd etc but this takes Prog to another level.

Gavin Harrison absolutely owns this song! :D

One of the most underrated band in the world. Their music is perfect! So excellent, so original, so subtil. Oh my god... I can't resist...

This is pure gold.... Not many people get this song but this song is on another level PT always manage to play their songs live better , than original recording....

just can't stop listening to steven wilson :D

This song gives me chiiillls every time

Breathtaking song structure, a perfect build.

Oh how I love Wesley's backing vocals.

Love how Barbieri is appreciating Wilson's brilliance with that huge smile on his face. He's in the moment of pure Genius

There's a special place in hell reserved for the guy who put an ad in the climix of the guitar solo

After more than two decades of music, I'd say "Dark Matter" stands alone among PT's top selections. Then again, every time I listen to their 2005 Rockpalast concert, I rethink that preference all over again . . . . .

Amazing!! This is a BAND with exceptional qualities! The audience will be silent just listening and wondering how this is possible!

Barbieri's ability to create atmosphere and mood is unrivalled and the fact that Wilson and the band give him the space to do so is wonderful.

Listening for the x time to this song , the intro of Barbieri is phenomenal., Influencing the impact of enormous tension in this song. A big applaus for Steven Wilson and his musicians

How refreshing to hear non-mainstream music which has originality, creativity, and energy. Well done gents!

6:00 to end > cry like a baby :')

30k views for this....really? 1000 of them would be mine alone

This is so beautiful.

This is a song I keep coming back to, and when I definitely fell in love with John Wesley's playing. And then Steve Wilson's incredible and just perfect guitar solo. This song is genius. My top rock guitar solo is the album version Pink Floyd's Comfortabily Numb. Always though nothing could even get close to it, but there it is.

This song will always be special. I didn’t know who PT was yet until I first heard this gem back in the mid summer of 2001. From that point on, this uniquely talented band would become my personal favorite progressive group since the early 90s. Steven Wilson is a genius.

Is that Sirius Black playing the 2nd guitar? :p

Steven Wilson solo part is incredible.

I found Porcupine tree and mr Wilson less than half year algo. I'm totally in love of his music. As a drummer I have to say that I have never ever heard anyone playing drums like mr Harrison does.....! It's truly outstanding!!! The best drummer I've ever heard! Whole band was incredible....Hope they will come back someday...

Such Pink Floyd. So Prog rock. Wow.

Saw this guy on his HCE tour. Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn Wilson is a beast.

I wish I could hear them for first time again...

I'm hooked on this band. Wonderful perfomance.

Is it only me who listens and enjoys only the live versions? Studio versions feel dull compared to how these guys fire up the stage

proud to say my son turned me on to these guys. sometimes ya just gotta listen to your kids. this is great stuff.

One of the best songs ever. Truly a musical voyage through infinity and back.

True Pink Floyd....

Rush is my alltime fav, but pt is right on their a#%$s!

One those PT songs that will probably never get dated over time? In the same vein of Pink Floyd earlier year's...

About 500 of the views are mine. And I am being conservative...

This should be listed in top 50 solos of all time...amazing

Si pudiera le daría todas las estrellas del mundo! ❤

This is one of my favorite performances of all time

New favorite band

this song changed my life.

Perfection.Porcupine Tree, please come back.

i am in hallucination !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Magic! Makes what few hairs I have on my head bristle with joy, and my ears simply tingle with delight!! Amazing solo and perfect drum work. Thank you so much PT

Gavin Harrison lost his stick at 7:17 :-)

when Richard Barbieri smiles!

Must be a God! There is always comfort in real good music!! P.T Rulezzz!!!

Such musical mastery! I could sit back and listen to PT body of work from sun up to sun down. Damn, I wish this band would reform.

It's truly amazing when a band's live performances are even better than the studio cuts!! Fucking Brilliant!!

Gavin Harrison = God Steven Wilson = God Richard Barbieri = God Colin Edwin = God

When the music is so good no need for them to jump around on stage.Man this band is a must hope they re-unite soon

It's like the God of drums is speaking through Gavin's left hand. Awe inspiring.

Legends

Love the textures Barbieri adds on every song, particularly on this one.

Psychedelic modern rock !
