I watched the Porcupine Tree Arriving Somewhere DVD the other day, which was said to be an entire concert. Noticing that the concert was only about an hour and a half, I wanted to know if anyone could tell me if their concerts are always this short. I was thinking of buying tickets to go see them in Houston but if they are only going to play for an hour and a half I'm not sure if I want to make the trip. Can anyone answer this for me? I would check in the concert review section but I don't want to know the setlist in case I do go... ------------- . |

| Just go - well worth the trip - even at 1-1/2 hrs. |

| I believe it's a little over an hour and a half, though it may depend on the location or scenario. And as Rushaholic says, just go. It's never about the duration, it's about the quality. |

| I have a recording of one of there shows from the end of the deadwing tour and it was about 2 hours in length. Not bad, I'd say the shows worth seeing. (I can't wait to see them in Toronto in a few weeks!) |

They play for two hours at least. Last year at the Academy in Manchester they came on stage at 9pm and left it at 11.20 To tied you over here's a preview of the video for Way Out Of Here used in the live show: http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=19021974 - http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=19021974 |

| I saw them live, it was great. (But I would suggest bringing earplugs!) |

| They played a solid 2 and a half hours when I saw them. It was a tad loud, but just loud enough to give you maximum sensory overload. But don't worry, it isn't like The Who, whose volume can kill livestock |

I guess with all the positive feedback I have no choice but to go . Houston is a little over a six hour drive from where I live, so the gas price would amount to be nearly $200!!! At least the tickets are only $16.------------- . |
