Porcupine Tree @ Grove of Anaheim


I finally saw Porcupine Tree in concert. The great Robert Fripp opened up with his 4-delay loop guitar improvisation. PT played mostly songs from Deadwing, some great ones from In Absentia as well. A lot of the guitar sound from the two PRS guitars was heavily processed. PT does admit to using Line 6 equipment on their record, but it would've been better to hear them natural on stage. There weren't a lot of improvisation, PT played through their songs almost album-like. This contrasts with Fripp's complete improvisational concert.
