The opening act: Three

I may just go buy a cd or two from this band... amazing band. Pretty original sound. And a pretty entertaining stage show ... check them out. I will be checking them for a MySpace page.

The main act: Porcupine Tree

Simply put... amazing. I won't put this up there with my all time favorite shows.... but I was not disappointed in the setlist or the show sound or anything... I don't remember the setlist (and I had not heard all of the songs they played), so here is are the ones I know:

Fear of a Blank Planet
Sentimental
Anesthetize
Way out of here
Sleep Together
Blackest Eyes
The Sound of Muzak
Open Car
and about 3 or 4 I had not heard before including one that has never been officially released...

Encore:
Even Less
Halo

Here are a few crappy pics I took with my camera phone... no photography was allowed and one of the guys that was standing in front of me was shooting them and ended up getting pulled aside on the second time security saw them... the girl he was with was detained longer... I bet they made her delete all of the pictures he took... because he gave her back the camera after taking a picture or two...

This is the best shot and it is of Steven Wilson

I am drained. I didn't eat from lunchtime until I got home around 12:30 (i had to stop at wal-mart to get food and candy to give out for Halloween...) and got in bed about 1AM... Now, I am going into work late because I overslept...

Check out both bands... I am so glad I made the show... :)

Oh, and this show was taped to be used in a LIVE cd due out in 2008... so damn cool. I have never been to a show that was taped before... AWESOME!
