[kj] It's a Boxing Day miracle!

[Peter Moltesen]

Having seen Porcupine Tree live on 4 separate occasions, I would have to
agree.

The excitement on each occasion was akin to waiting for a bus on a rainy
Monday morning in Dudley.

I can say something that is FACT, Porcupine Tree are fucking dreadful.

Okay someone tell me it's not true about these guys (PT), cos if it is.a
baby kitten just died somewhere:

( Feel free to replace the kitten in the metaphor with a mammal to which you
are more sympathetic, such as a baby dolphin...)

I think even the most celebrated live albums out there have overdubbing.
It's a bit like believing in Santa Claus. If you want to dispel your
inherent cynicism and buy into to the theory that x-band really sounds that
dynamic in the live setting, it's there for you to believe. But even if the
finished product involves some sneaky "finishing touches" applied in a
studio -- does that make the document any less nice to listen to? (i.e. even
when you find out Santa doesn't exist, that doesn't mean you stop getting
presents).

Will need to have a proper listen with headphones. Can't decide if I think
that's right or wrong! Should live albums be genuinely live, or should they
sound as good as possible?

Wondering if the guitars have been dubbed in places?
