I feel bad about the aborted concert in Berlin, but thankfully we got a full show in Leipzig, and it was better than I expected from the new trio. I still enjoyed it a lot, and others seemed to as well. People will always complain, but if they keep buying tickets does it really matter?

I cried non-stop during Steve Wilson's The Raven Who Refused to Sing show. I was up front, and the band were looking at me with concern. Really sad time in my life. The lyrics just fit.
Can you believe the bass player used to be in Kajagoogoo? He's freakin' amazing.Yeah, Nick Beggs really is great and quite a character, too! Wilson's new album, The Harmony Codex, just came out, and I am liking it so far. And to link this back to the Sisters since we are chatting about this on hereIncoming! wrote: ↑11 Oct 2023, 23:14sharedgum wrote: ↑11 Oct 2023, 12:40Happy that there is another Steven Wilson fan on here!Incoming! wrote: ↑09 Oct 2023, 17:03 Many good parts of this show for me.

, 17 years ago or so, when I first heard Porcupine Tree's Fear of a Blank Planet (Porcupine Tree is one of Steven Wilson's bands, probably his main one), I thought that its vibe reminded me quite a bit of the Sisters. I know that his music can be VERY different from what the Sisters do, but there are certainly some similarities between them and Wilson's more industrial sounding tracks.The same crazy recognition when I discovered "Porcupine Tree's keyboard player is the guy from Japan?"Incoming! wrote: ↑11 Oct 2023, 23:14sharedgum wrote: ↑11 Oct 2023, 12:40Happy that there is another Steven Wilson fan on here!Incoming! wrote: ↑09 Oct 2023, 17:03 Many good parts of this show for me.

I did not know that. Like I was unprepared to see Steve Wilson play without shoes and socks.DungBeetle wrote: ↑14 Oct 2023, 20:25The same crazy recognition when I discovered "Porcupine Tree's keyboard player is the guy from Japan?"
Richard Barbieri is fantastic, I love his soundscapes! Also, Wilson's current keyboard player toured with Miles Davis, and one of the guitar players he has used has been a major piece in one of Roger Waters' bands. I got nothing to try to tie this to the Sisters, so maybe the thread has officially been hijacked?DungBeetle wrote: ↑14 Oct 2023, 20:25The same crazy recognition when I discovered "Porcupine Tree's keyboard player is the guy from Japan?"

My main issue was I finally give in to years... actually decades of "come to a Mish show" from those I've been friends with since the 80s... and look what happens to TSOM that very weekend. Cue Anakin Skywalker's "What have I done??" lament just after his turn to the Dark Side?
I see Dylan's 'so that happened' is a way to acknowledge his departure, which is relevant considering his songwriting contributions.He's not been well. We think he's getting better. We're deeply sorry about the sudden burst of inconvenience and disappointment.
