Porcupine Tree - Deadwing tour - Milan 24.04.2005 (Deadwing / Fadeaway / Burning Sky)

Details

Description

For reasons totally unknown to me, Porcupine Tree stopped playing the great titletrack at the end of the first leg of tour. From leg #2 in fall 2005 this has been replaced by Open Car (obviously not the same in terms of quality). It has never been performed by the band ever since and there is no video footage existing either, except in the band's archives). Even the Rockpalast footage does not have it. So I wanted to reinstate some truth about this great track (as concert opener it kicks a** compared to Blackest Eyes) to share some audio recording from the stop in Milan. For some strange reasons, they were booked in a very tiny venue called Transilvania that could probably held no more than 200 people. The venue was absolutely packed when the band started and the sound soooo close. It gave the recording somehow a "wild" atmosphere that I could not find in any other recordings from that tour. Following Deadwing you have two tracks from another underrated album, Up The Downstair.
