Why see Steven Wilson?

Porcupine Tree's Founder

As well as co-founding the band Porcupine Tree, acting as its lead guitarist, singer and songwriter, prog rock great Wilson has also been a member of several other bands in addition to his successful solo act. Notably he has also collaborated with other rock artists including Opeth, King Crimson, Pendulum, Anathema and Jethro Tull. One of the genre's leading lights, Wilson is an electrifying melder of Floyd, metal, krautrock and even a bit of disco.

Oddly enough, Wilson has one stipulation when performing live; he always performs barefoot, even if it means picking up some painful injuries; he claims that it helps him control the guitar pedals better. Who are we to judge?!

Steven Wilson at the Wiltern in LA

I flew in from Montreal. Steven Wilson was fabulous as usual. But there was an extremely inconsiderate woman who insisted on screaming in our ears during the whole first set ( could this be the start of Wilsonmania?) Thankfully security removed her early after the intermission. The remainder was like dying and going straight to heaven. Thanks Wiltern for coming to our rescue, and thanks to Steven and band for another magnificent show! Staff were amazing. ... Read more

Excellent quadraphonic sound, fantastic show

Saw Steven Wilson on Saturday November 24th in Hamilton at "The Studio", Ontario, Canada - concerned about some reviews I've read about the sound being too loud I have to wonder what shows these people have been to? Maybe solo harp concertos or something? I always check with my phone what the dBs were and in Hamilton the sound was averaging 110dB, I brought my -25dB filters for my custom earplugs (who goes to shows without earplugs anyway?) based on previous reviews and was mad I didn't bring my -15 filters as they would have sufficed. Previous shows including u2 at Skydome and Ministry at The Opera House all hit an average of 120-125dB which is MUCh louder than 110dB. Anyway, Steven's show started very punctually (thank you) and the sound mix was heavenly, perfect mixing in a venue designed for audiophile reproductions (you can see lots of acoustic paneling in teh venue), quad sound was amazing and clear, super talented players, A+ setlist, only missing Hand.Cannot.Erase. Thx! ... Read more

Steven Wilson

We saw porcupine tree twice in the past. They always gave it everything during the show. This show was the same in every respect. The opening act John Wesley did a forty minute very delightful and balanced single guitar set. Very talented and enjoyable. Steven played two sets with short break. Entertaining the crowd, changing the music mood, loud soft, electric, acoustic. He sang along with vocal backup on the jumbo Tron which requires perfect timing. He talked more and got audience involved more than in the past. Acoustics at the Ritz are awesome. Ready for show. It was a Christmas gift for my daughter. ... Read more
