Description

Note from the uploader:
Many people seem to seek the recordings of Deadwing live. I checked my collection and picked the best-sounding to me. You may find another great version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrAsrz3VAoQ

I think some might understand why they stopped playing it live later.

Porcupine Tree
Town Hall
New York, NY
October 1, 2005

Lineage : SP-CMC-2 - Radio Shack Attenuator - Sony MZ-NH1 (Hi-SP mode) - USB - Sony SonicStage - Wavelab 4.0 - EAC - FLAC Front End. Recorded from the 2nd row dead center.
V2 adds: - WAV - Wavelab 6.0 - FLAC

This was another very loud show, and as such, the volume tested the limits of what the Radio Shack Attenuator cable can handle. That being said, I think the show came out better than the Providence show I recorded from this tour. Very little editting was done on this, only the bass was dropped a bit and the volume was increased. There is very little distracting crowd noise in this one. There are some slight EQ fluctuations at the very beginning of "Radioactive Toy" because people couldn't decide whether to sit or stand.

I went back to this early recording nine years later, and did a full "remaster" to brighten the sound. I minimized the low end distortion a bit, but there is still some distortion during some of the louder passages. "Open Car" seems to be the worst of it though, and the recording is very listenable and sounds great in some places now. It makes me sad that I wasn't using a battery box when I started out, because this one woruld have sounded incredible.
