Having seen Porcupine Tree several times over the years this was first time I'd seen Steven Wilson perform his solo albums & I found the experience different but just as good.

No delays or support band, no gimmicks, no distracting outfits - just brilliant musicians all in black playing brilliant music. The sound was amazing - a fabulous venue especially compared to the O2 - even though we were quite far back I still felt in the middle of it all. Pleased at Steven's 'no photography' rule - means you can just enjoy the moment & escape into the music without distractions.

I believe the album "The raven that refused to sing" (played in its entirety) is number 28 in the album charts. I do hope, though, that Steven will never make a "greatest hits" album.

Thanks Steven for a wonderful concert & pleased your Mum was there - I'm sure she's very proud.

Well what can i say, from the first note to the last, the experience was unbelievably good! the entire set was played faultlessly with some stunning solo's from Guthrie Govan (guitar), Theo Travs (sax/flute), and Adam Holzman (Keyboard). The atmosphere was incredible, and the standing ovation was inevitable! Sound quiality was immense, even for somebody who had listened to his albums off a top-quality HI-FI before. The lighting was incredible as was the video type side of the performance!

The energy of the Band and crowd was fantastic and was an honor to watch!

Yes, I am a fan of Steven Wilson's solo work and his Porcupine Tree project, so yes, for me this was the concert equivalent of a devout Catholic going to see the Pope!

This man represents the way music should be; rock solid albums crammed from start to finish with excellence, backed up by live performances that are second to none. In this case, he drew together some of the finest musicians I have ever seen and in The Raven That Refused To Sing he created a series of pieces specifically written for the band which gave them the opportunity to shine. Simply amazing. Add to this a scattering of songs from his first two solo albums and you have a couple of hours of bliss!

Well where do you start.....no support act and the gig starting just before 19:30 and the venue with SEATS!!!!!!. Steven Wilson and his band were superb right from first note to the last . he played for well over 2 hours.....and as usual the Glasgow crowd were on to form.

If you are reading this, you must be at least somewhat familiar with Steven Wilson's work; to paraphrase the man himself (when explaining the thought process behind choosing the encore for the evening): "I don't exactly have any f**king hits do I?"; and so should know what to expect in terms of the style of music being showcased. This tour is in support of his new album The Raven That Refused To Sing (And Other Stories) which has recieved acclaim from critics and fans alike, so expect to hear all the new tracks along with a selection of the most popular songs from the prvious tour (see setlist for details).

The band that Steven has assembled, both for the recording of his most-recent album and this consequent tour will not disappoint, each is a true master of their craft with decades of experience, however this does not, as you might expect, make for a sterile business-as-usual atmosphere on stage - the performance is of course tight, and Steven seems to have encouraged real passion and the band really do seem to be having a great time playing the songs Steven has penned with each other.

The sound mixing for the evening was superb; there were six musicians on stage and at any point I could pick out exactly what any one of them were doing in the mix - this was one of the best sounding gigs I have ever experienced. In addition to the sound experience, there was a stunning visual show for the majority of songs projected behind the band, as well as an additional screen in-front of the band for two songs.

I will definitely make the effort to see Steven Wilson live again, especially so if the same band is assembled.

I was totally blown away by this gig - I cant say enough really totally immersed myself
completely self indulgent but SW obviously knows a little thing or 2 about music.
The band were mesmerising and all members played their part in the gig to make it
exciting and enjoyable.

I would recommend buying the new album and the next round of gigs if there is one near
you make a point of going to see it you wont regret it.

The man never stops to impress me. It was another mesmerizing, breathtaking and marvellous show. There is nothing much to add to this. If you saw Wilson live before (either with Porcupine or Blackfield or No Man or Storm Corrosion or solo) you know you are going to be in for a treat. He is a true genius.

First time I have attended a Steven Wilson event. I had developed a real appreciation for the quality of musicianship and song writing from listening to his discography. At this event I was not dissappointed. Each song of the new ablum was played with other work threaded in to make highly memoralbe 2hr show. Being the first gig of the tour the band acknowledged their nervousness at playing some tracks live for the first time. Yes, there was the odd glitch, but hardly noticable. I thought Steven Wilson communciated well with the audience - there being a very funny conversation with the rest of his band about his displeasure at a recent review refering to his "Tolkein-esk lyrics". Leaving the show the words I heard others repeating were "awsome" and "epic". He said the tour might take up the rest of the year, well after this I might choose to go back and see the show again. It was that good.

As a prog veteran from the 70's I wondered if we would ever again see music performed live to match that of Genesis, YES, Crimson etc....
Porcupine Tree have been fantastic but Wilson's 2 solo albums are on a new level and the performance at the 'bush' was awesome.
Still slightly bemused how popular Muse have become given SW is still virtually unknown
Only complaint is I had to travel from Chester to see the gig
Bigger UK tour next time please!

Steven Wilson is a genius. Pulling from, what seems to be, a myriad of influences and creating something new, fresh and amazing. This gig was beyond prog, beyond rock and beyond music ...it was theatrical, emotive and exciting with beautifully dark imagery to boot.
