Porcupine Tree Tickets

I've been to hundreds of concerts, floyd, sabbath, hagar, yes, Aerosmith and this concert was the best one I've ever been to. Steven Wilson is the ultimate showman. Frankly, i was stunned. The entire audience was singing along. There were parts where he would point to the drummer of it was his part or the bass player and then us during the chorus of a lot of the songs. This was truly a magical show. It made me feel like a kid again

Of course the band is incredible, sound quality was excellent (I am an audio engineer), lights were great, seats were comfortable and when I wanted to stand and dance, no one kicked me out of the area in front of the concrete wall, just in front of section B, so that was really nice. My drink, Watermelon Margarita, was really good and the price was relatively decent, bar tender was nice. Great concert experience.

The band’s performance was tight, committed, and exciting. Porcupine Tree was well into this this tour, and easily could have sounded worn down. Audience was very enthusiastic, which kept the band playing strongly over the nearly 3 hr performance. I expected them to sound like some of the word’s best musicians playing the best rock music being written today, and was not disappointed

If you're familiar with Porcupine Tree, then you know their albums. The Porcupine Tree setlist, for the 30 October 2022 Closure/Continuation in the Greek Theatre, Hollywood, CA, USA, had to be cut short, due to neighborhood curfew restrictions. In essence, "Sentimental," a 5 min 27 sec song from their album: Fear of a Blank Planet, was eliminated. Okay, the concert, including a 20 min break, was still 3 hrs long. Several attendees yelled out "Turn up the volume!" Steven Wilson responded eloquently (paraphrased) "There's a volume restriction in the neighborhood." I asked the soundboard engineers, during break, about a rumor I heard and they confirmed 95dB as redline imposed by city ordinance. I quite enjoyed the sound volume restriction. For me, and I'd bet for most, the loudness was perfect! Great show! 🌷 Hare Kṛṣṇa 🌷

It’s hard to describe how awesome it was to see Porcupine Tree together again after so many years. From the first time I saw PT at Slims in San Francisco back in the late 90s to now, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve seen them (dozens at least). I totally enjoy Steven Wilson’s solo work and his shows, but the collaboration and effect that these guys have on each other is so magical in my opinion. Shout out to the new recruits on Bass and guitar, although I love Colin Edwin’s bass work and John Wesley’s contributions during live shows. They worked seamlessly into the mix. I was almost convinced John Wesley was doing backup vocals and the awesome guitar riffs. I really loved their set list with an early dose of the latest music to get the crowd pumped up and plenty of excellent choices from all over their catalogue. I can’t speak for every section of the audience, but my section seemed to know nearly every word to every song, including the numbers at the end of Even Less. I saw quite an emotional response to Collapse The Light Into Earth including tears and loved ones held close. Halo got the headbangers going (me too) and Anesthetize provided the jam needed at that point of the show. Last Chance To Evacuate Earth Before It Is Recycled may have been one of the oldest songs from the set, but it proves to be as prophetic and insightful as The Sound Of Muzak. Having Porcupine Tree essentially play two complete sets (no opening act, but a short intermission) was an unexpected bonus. I have enjoyed many of the bands they’ve toured with in the past, but being treated to an extended playlist this way was such a great treat. Many thanks to the band for getting it together for this show. Love you guys!

Steven Wilson always delivers! It doesn't matter if it is a Porcupine Tree show, or a solo show, Steven has written some incredible songs and has consumate

We had a great time seeing nPorcupine Tree. I listen to Steven's music everyday. Was a great place to see a concert.

Audio quality and visuals were spot on! Steven apologized to the crowd for not playing louder, and that was unnecessary as the volume was perfect. Excellent blend of older stuff and new album cuts. I really wanted to hear "Arriving Somewhere" but the curfew nixed the performance of that one. We did get to experience "Anesthetize" though; my strong second pick. I was kind of surprised that this event didn't sell out, given PT's strong following after all these years of being silent. I wanted to see them in case the Closure part of their rebirth (Closure/Continuation) wins out. I hope they keep it going, and Steven continues his solo work as well.

Observations of a Concert: Porcupine Tree, Greek Theater, Los Angeles, CA, Sept. 30, 2022 (1) For anyone who has ever attended a show at the Greek, I think all will agree that this is just an amazing venue, in the Los Feliz area of LA, near Griffith Observatory. Not a bad seat in the place, not one. Great staff, beautiful environment. Just perfect for Porcupine Tree, I think. (2) I was amazed at how warm Steven Wilson was and how attached he was to the audience. Having seen the band live before, and in their concert DVDs/Blu-Rays, I had never seen Steven so open and involved in the presentation of the show. He talked to the audience a lot, and he was very humorous and engaging with the audience and the rest of the band throughout the show. Simply a joy to experience that, and it really enhanced the music and the mystique of the show and the band, IMO. (3) The set list was a perfect mix of "old" and "new" PT, and it was wonderful to hear the wide range of PT's styles and approaches to Progressive Rock. Of course, there are about a hundred songs that I wanted them to play, but that is hard to do in 3 hours. One thing for sure: after this show, I have a much greater appreciation and admiration of the new album, "P/T C/C". We listened to the album on our drive to the concert, and we found that we have several strong favorites from the record. After hearing the tracks live, I am all-in on the band's progression and this new album!! Perhaps that is also the result of Steven's and the band's warmth and presentation, but regardless, this is a great "continuation" for PT. I hope there are many more ahead!! (4) If any prog-rock fans, or any rock music fans have not experienced PT live, and you have the opportunity to see them at any point and any venue, I very highly recommend that you grab some tickets. An exhilarating audio and visual concert experience, by one of the premier artists performing today! ❤️✌️🎸 OH, one other observation I forgot to add: NO, Steven DID NOT wear shoes during the concert...🤣🤣🤣

The Greek is a wonderful, magical, outdoor venue. I've been going to concerts there since the 70's. And I look forward to the next one!

The "old stuff" was thoroughly enjoyable. Understandably, P/T played essentially their entire new album. C/C does sound very good. Biggest moments (besides Steven Wilson's wry comments) was Last Chance, Fear of a Blank Planet and Anesthetize. The sounded great and very tight. The volume could have been louder, but that's the Greek Theatre's policy (oh well)

The sound quality, venue size and layout cannot be beat in LA!

Band was never tighter, rewarded fans for their 12 year hiatus with 2 sets 3 hours in total. Amazing new music and visual treats throughout the performance. Just about perfect!! Gavin is the best rock drummer on the planet!

Great performance,, setlist and played the whole new album. Their music gets better and better so the new album was great to hear. Couldn’t figure out why nobody ever sat down so had to stand the whole show , damn, paid for seats, not a patch of concrete to stand on! Overall one of my favorite concerts! Hope they don’t wait 12 more years to play again!

The band told the crowd several times that they would have to pay fines if they turned the sound up. When I can hear myself whisper while the band is playing, then the sound is WAAAY TOO LOW. I'm sorry, but the people that live in the area need to realize that they moved near the Greek Theater, a great concert venue, and that the bands that play will actually need to have volume so the fans can hear. I don't recommend this venue specifically because you can barely hear anything. Pathetic.

Excellent concert and the Greek is a great venue. I know that some folks in the audience were yelling that it wasnt loud enough, but that was more due to it being an amphitheater more than anything else. I thoight the sound and volume were fine. The price for parking is a bit much, but that is to be expected these days days. Ultimately, it was a great experience and an amazing concert!

The band was at their best all night. The sound was clear and crisp, but the overall volume was far too low. That’s not uncommon at The Greek. Another set of speakers nearer the second half of the audience would have helped. I was particularly pleased with the band’s request for no phones. Far too often, audience member phones distract from performances. Not here. I wish more artists would make similar requests.

Steve Wilson is a great artist. Their songs are fantastic and the band are total professionals. I only wish they could play more of their tunes. Can’t wait to see them again.

I go to concerts often and this is the 1st great concert in a long time. I missed the other members of the band but, Steven Wilson and Gavin Harrison are from another world. I hope they tour again in the near future.

Aloha, We made a 5,000 mile round trip for this gig...Waiting 11 years ! And it was HUGE ! The sound was amazing..! Whole band on point. Steven Wilson is the modern day Mozart ! New album played live ! Priceless ! Venue was next level. Musicianship from this hard driving band was just breathtaking. Best gig we've seen in many years. Love Porcupine Tree ❤️🤙🏽❤️
