Good stuff
In reference to the review below, yes, the drumming is much different. In Absentia and Deadwing featured their current drummer, Gavin Harrison, who, in the eyes of almost every PT fan (including me), is a better drummer than their previous one, Chris Maitland. Not only does Gavin do more complex beats, he also keeps time better - I noticed a few spots in this album where Chris either went too fast or two slow. In all, though, the songs all sound really good live. (Particularly Moonloop, Signify, and Up the Downstair)
Although the drums aren't as good as they could be, this is still highly recommended to fans of early PT. If you're looking for the definitive live PT album with more recent songs, though, I'd suggest Warszawa.
Now, I'd like to see a live CD release with Gavin on drums...

Not anything like the others
This cd isnt bad but it is nothing like their other cd's if you like this group for In Absentia and Deadwing just know this cd is nothing like those. The drumming is tottaly diferent in fact if I had just heard this I would never have known this was Porcupine tree. Now im not saying this is bad music its just not anything like the other cd's.

This live performance requires one word: magnificence.
I am not going to bore you with lengthy details as to why you should pick this up, or how it would educate you on the matter of music, or even why I, myself, love it so much.
All I am going to do is tell you: "Get this show - get it by any means necessary," and I am also going to say, "If you do not, you are missing out on quite a performance."
You Porcupine Tree fans out there, shame on you for not getting it already. It's worth every cent you pay for it, every minute you wait downloading and burning it - whatever means you take in getting cds, take them with this one, as well.
And do it now.

This one rocks!
Excellent live set from Porcupine Tree, recorded in Italy. Steven Wilson and company are in top form with songs such as "Waiting" and "Sky Moves Sideways."
Good, clean recording that jumps right out at you. This is a must-have for PT fans and a nice introduction to those who want to sample the band's wares in a live setting.
