Re: Porcupine Tree in Atlanta
You did a nice job of summing up the happenings of the evening, that's for sure. I agree on the assessment of the music, and am glad they were at about half the volume of Three. I had the earplugs in for Three (and was glad the investment was made) but found them to be completely unnecessary for PT.
I was wondering why they seemed to be spending more time and effort on the music at the expense of interaction with the audience, but their mentioning that they were recording answered all of my questions.
They were professional. They were good.
But I'd like to know who thought it was an appropriate idea to shine bright stage lights at the audience. I'm sorry, but when I go to a concert, I want to see the musicians, not silhouettes of my fellow audience-members heads.
On a scale of 1-5 on the Dr. Dot Concert Scale:
Musicianship/quality of tune-age: 4
Stage Presence: 2.25, 3.5 after the brief explanation
Light show: 1.25
Sound Mixing, etc: 4
Overall Experience: 4.25
Dr. Dot sez check 'em out!
