It's a shame non of the other members sing because that ending section really missed all the harmonies and vocal layering present in the studio version.
I feel the same as you. Unfortunately, I just discovered PT this past summer from being a Gavin Harrison fan. If it wasn’t for youtube, I never would have found Porcupine Tree’s music. I’m in my early 50s now and been listening to music for a long time and PT has hit me like no other music and just can’t get enough of it plus, Steven Wilson’s solo work.
@hmcdonnell23 I'm 34, think I've got a pretty elcectic and good taste in music.. I only just heard PT for the first time last month. I don't think I can go a day now without listening to at least one track. I found my way to them from the Opeth singers constant bursts of Steven Wilson appreciation. They truely evoke feelings unable to be found in any music. At least to me.
This music is way better than Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne etc. We all know this obviosly. Thats why where here. We found great music, Porcupine Tree. This is the best band in my opinion now a days. Its a complex and amazing band. Gavin's a great drummer, Steve's great overall and everythings just GREAT. I will kill someone to see this band. These songs relate to me and when i listen to this i feel emotion. Thats what real music is like. When you go through emotions and feelings.
I cut my progressive rock teeth on bands like Yes, Rush and Jethro Tull. But this band simply hits on every cylinder 100% of the time unlike those other bands. The combination of dynamics, blend of vocal and instrument, thoughtful lyrics and down right phenomenal playing are it for me. How could I not find PT sooner?
Who cares if this video hasn't got millions of views. In fact, good! It's obvious the majority of the population can't appreciate music like this. Real music. Not like most of the dogshit being played 24/7 on the radio. Just let this brilliant music be special to the few who love it. I know I do...
The band is just rite an John is only an extra hand PT could do wit on stage, not takin away aNythin from him, the guy is phenomenal but jus cos he makes PT sound 'full' on stage doesn mean he must be in the band an don forget, that all what John performs,every note an vocal line is what Steve tells him to do ! PT reigns for those abstract minds rebelling the present system. FOREVER !!
I decoded this concert to mp3 to listen to it while traveling to the netherlands. When I first normal heard this song and then the sentimental reprise I thought my soundconverter fooled me :D
@NeedHeadMusic For me it's fuc***in hard but maybe I'm an amateur. Can you play it? How to pick the notes so fast in the intro? Do you know some exercises to achieve it?
@NeedHeadMusic Yeah and the part played just before "You have my car..." and further. The chords are easy but picking is like 2x too fast for me not to mention singing along like Steve. Wonder how to pick this fast and still be precise. Well, looks like I have to find some lessons. This is really awesome song wish i would play it someday.
I never seem to grow tired of Porcupine Tree and Steven Wilson-related music. He's got such an incredible back-catalogue of stuff and so many interesting side-projects. This music touches me in so many ways.... And this song is among the best.
@filusdrummer Actually, Normal was composed before Sentimental. Steven decided to use the chorus because it was so powerful. Doesn't take much research.
@Aipotsud Is *twenty-four thousands* in six months enough? :D
They're getting more and more famous here in Italy: just a couple of years ago, I couldn't be able to find anyone listening to them. Let's hope this will lead to more gigs and meetings everywhere.
Do they play this song back-to-back with Sentimental? Cuz it'd be awkward musically if they didn't.

Opeth as well as Dream Theater have got the same Genre but each one with different class of lyrics and perspectives.
For me each one of these bands have got a precious value! PT is one of the leader followers of great Pink Floyd
