I noticed the gruffness too, his voice seemed different somehow. Not sure I totally dug that, but there's too much good here to complain about anything, really. I love the dark look of the stage, the sci-fi feel, and the crushing power without sounding metal. It's a cliche, but this show is almost a perfect cross of Rush and Floyd's positive attributes in a new package. It's just so well done.

^ It is truly an ethereal experience. One of the most well performed and creative live DVDs that I have ever seen.

Very nice!  Anesthetize is no doubt one of their best songs to date. Now get Deadwing, if you don't have it already, and listen to Arriving Somewhere, But Not Here. Another amazing long PT song! Don't forget to listen to the rest of the album as well... it's a favorite of mine and highly recommendable. |
I've decided In Absentia is up next, but I'll get around to deadwing.

^ Also a very fine album, indeed. One of my favorites. Trains was one of the first PT songs I listened to, and it definitely hooked me for life.

I would say this is PT at their finest. Side note: It took me over a year to get into PT but once I got it, I was hooked.

In Absentia was the point of no return for me, as well. I already owned FOABP and Deadwing, which I enjoyed a lot, but it was IA that made me into a big fan. What a cracking album. In a catalogue of great stuff, that one is one of the crowning jewels.

I noticed Steve's more growly vocals on the DVD, too, especially on Sleep Together, Cheating The Polygraph, Sever, and What Happens Now? It was unexpected, but I found it quite energetic and thrilling. For those who haven't seen it yet, dont fret. PT haven't turned death metal. But SW's voice does go a bit more harder, and aggressive, during some of the heavier songs!

The new Pendulum is at number one! I know it isnt strictly a SW album, but it feels so great that he finally appears on something that made it into the top of the chart.
Sadly, a recent interview with Richard Barbieri over on the PT Forum website suggests that there won't be a new PT album til 2012  I assume after the Albert Hall, they want to take next year off, and concentrate on solo work. Hopefully, there'll be some releases to keep us hardcores happy in the interim. Here's to Recordings in September, can't wait for that!
Also, he said that its unlikely the RCMH or RAH gigs will be recorded for CD or DVD. I hope they change their minds. These are arguably the biggest gigs of their career.

Me too. It sounds really really awesome live. I hear the RAH gig at the end of this year will be three hours. The first being the Incident suite, and the other two being classic PT, including, apparently, some stuff they haven't performed for a long time. How can they afford not to record this? It sounds incredible.

Seriously, after watching the new DVD, they really NEED to film some Incident show and release it. I've no doubt it would come across much better by this live band than the album did.

THEY NEED TO FILM THE INCIDENT! They have to realize that every fan would love to see it.
