So I was listening to the Anesthetize DVD audio tracks today on my MP3 player today. All in all a great show. I have to say though, the lead for the title track, done by Mr. Lifeson in the studio, was weak in the live performance. Is the lead that tough to play? I wonder.

I haven't heard the version on Anesthetize yet. But, on Ilosaarirock, that solo is shaky to the point of distraction. I guess Alex didn't leave them the tab.

Is that one "off" as well?

Is that one "off" as well? I think on Atlanta and Anesthetize, Wesley does a fine job. He makes the solo his own and doesn't bother trying to play like Alex. Like Alex however, he's a very instinctive player and seems to feel his way through a solo. I will also agree that on Ilosaarirock, it was a little shaky for whatever reason.

It just sounded to me like he hadn't had much practice with it, and was trying to make it sound like Alex's solo. He's probably better off just winging it, and not trying to reproduce the studio version.   It still sounded good though. I'm not complaining...

Anesthetize

 

Occam's Razor

Great Expectations

Kneel and Disconnect

Drawing the Line

Taut, muscular, lean music. SW was in great form. Gavin did a magic trick with a hankie. Mental night. AND North Atlantic Oscillation supported. Mental. Completely mental.

Interesting set list. When I saw them last year, they started the show by playing the entirety of The Incident, which was cool except that the cd had just been released that day, and I had only heard like 3 songs off of it.

And they ended the show with a shortened version Anesthetize. It was a great show, I just wish that I would have had more time to listen to the new CD.

I hear Opeth influence in it.

I've never listened to Opeth

You should!

 

WARNING!!! Cookie monster vocals, but the musicianship is second to none. It took me a while to "get" Akerfeld's vocals. And, it's not all growling. His "clean" vocals are some of the sweetest around.

[Joshua]

I love you guys but calling them "cookie monster vocals" is just lazy description. They're roars!

Roars, growls, whatever. At first, it sounded to me like he was burping the words.

Go to Steven Wilson's Facebook Page to Download the new track "Home in the Negative"

 

great track!

[The Owl]

Is it just me, or does anyone else have a problem when they go to the news section on PT.com with FireFox?

 

Every time I go to PT.com using firefox, it freezes and goes into a "Not Responding" mode.

I just tried it using Firefox, no problems.

Cover of who's song? I think what rummut71 means is it's a song that didn't make one of SW's "Cover Versions" CDs. The CDs where he did one original song and one cover. Presumably a throwaway of an original.   Personally, I like it...FWIW.

Easily listenable.   It may also be a throwaway from next SW solo record... Rather than leave it on the floor, he used it for NYC radio promotion for RCMH. Not a bad plan...   (since when does SW do something that doesn't put lbs. in his pocket? )
