Instead of an applauding audience, Steven Wilson's crowd is bawling their eyes out.

The second part is just too strong emotionally, it's impossible not to cry.

Prog is not about the most complex time signatures, or about the number of notes played. It's about taking music to another levels, emotionally, not just technically. Some bands could learn a thing or two from SW.

Dude, the way this guy can make music with so little instruments and keep it interesting is just a level of musical genius that very very little people on this planet ever had. It's almost unreal to expect anything comparable of a normal human being.

I just got so triggered that i dont even know what to say XD no hate. First of all DT is a progressive METAL band, second have you even heard songs like ''the best of times'', ''hollow years'', ''through her eyes'', ''the spirit carries on''? I think prog can be everything that there is. It can be smooth, heavy, fast, emotional. Thats what porg is all about.

The feel-good hit of the summer!

Yes, it was a joke.

Not a single person holding a phone. That's where I want to be.

When your live recordings sound better than your studio recordings, you've hit the nail on the head with your musical art.

Steven Wilson is beyond amazing. His music is so beautiful it moves me to tears.

This isn‘t music. This is something else...

One of the most intense songs of our time…

This was his last song for one of his concerts i attended. Someone shouted out while he was singing the first verse- we love you steven .. he was pissed and signaled to the audience to shut up.. It was amazing ... the best part was that there were no idiots holding up their cellphones to take pics/vids. A SW concert is a surreal experience. The sound, music, lights, visuals - everything harmonizes to take you on a spiritual journey.

I doubt they'll get together... they have moved on to their other projects, and I think Steven is so far away from where he started, artistically speaking... I don't think he wants to go back to his old style. I don't particularly like his latest music, but he seems to be enjoying what he does so... sadly, I find it hard to believe. And I miss PT as bad as you guys :(

Steven admitted in a concert that this is the best song he's ever written. I disagree, but it's totally magical live. What a genius, this guy!

I think I agree, this is one of the best songs written by anybody. It brings me tears. So beautiful and emotive.

Saw the band in SF this last summer and I can clearly say that this is the most under-rated artist and group ever. The marginalization of progressive rock radio is killing this type of music and it sad because I think it is the most creative outlet for live music today.

was für ein Wahnsinns-Song. Ich kenne keine Band, die nur annähernd so was live bringt.

This is the greatest song of this century.

This song made my cry on the concert and it makes me cry every time I hear it. No matter, if I am at home, or on the street, or at work. Thank you, Steven, for so many beautiful pieces, for such emotional music. I don´t really care, if you shift to pop or not, I love your music for its honesty, beauty and emotions.

The pain in this song's melody!!!! Thank u Steven for making this. God bless u.

Get chills every time... Steven Wilson and all the wonderful musicians he surrounds himself with are just pure genius. The world needs this music.

There is no better band than this. I've seen several hundred concerts and I've never seen anyone perform as masterfully time and time again as SW solo and/or Porcupine Tree.

I'm listen progressive rock music since late 60's. It is really on the greatest songs that anyone has ever written in a really long time.

What an absolute great setup. I didnt knew that SW played with Minemann and Govan

Not one single damn phone peeking out from the audience. I love it.

Sorry I'll never get to see this lineup again. Perhaps the best he ever assembled. Marco and Govan on one stage with Nicki!!!! Magic

Prog is about what? it is complex, it is emotional. Why is Steven so beloved in Germany ? Dont know but he is the one I love

Its glad to see Govan playin with Wilson.

What's insane is that the Hand. Cannot. Erase. stuff is even better. I saw SW in Helsinki during the HCE tour and it was the best live experience I've ever had. Like totally otherworldly. I had this realisation afterwards that I might not ever see anything like it ever again. I might never experience anything better musically. It sort of made me profoundly sad and happy at the same time.

+Eric I feel that 'The Raven That Refused To Sing' is easily the best and most complete work he's ever released. I can only hope that a future release tops the creative spirit and open-ended writing that was displayed on that concept piece. The subject matter is beautiful, endemic feeling and treated with reverence. Something that cannot be said for the dependant and Looming nature of Hand Cannot Erase. I felt as though even 'Storm Corrosion' had more of a directed sense of style than HCE did; HCE feels more like a collection of songs in a specific yet generalised theme, than a telling of a story in any sense of linearity or composure. Great songs that can stand tall alone but not a great piece of work that is the sum of all of its parts when listened start to end.

Genius... leaving us speechless...

I am in utter awe. The most amazing piece of music I have heard lately. Can't wait to see him and his band this spring.

His best song with the best band he ever brought together....absolutely brilliant.

Harrowing. This song makes me lose my shit every goddamn time, and hearing it live doesn't make it any easier. Thanks Steven.

Not surprising as flute player Theo Travis has played saxophone for Gilmour and is a big PF fan, as is SW. Travis has played sax versions of Floyd numbers with his own band.

Just as moving as Drive Home...beautiful!

even though I didn't really like this TRTRtS song, i started to love it after this performance. when Wilson and his band played Raider II and just after that they played this one, i realised the sense of both of them and why they should be played together. also because IT REALLY WORKS. i don't remember any moment in my life when i cried like i cried in the end of this show. greetings for all SW fans!

Had the pleaure of attending this concert in Neu-Isenburg. Probably the best I have seen. Some years later, Steven came to the "Alte Oper" in Frankfurt (with Hands cannot erase), and made some remarks about how upscale the venue was. Compared to the later concerts, this line-up in 2013 was better (simply love Marco). There were loudspeakers also in the back of the hall, sometimes used for quadrophonic sounds. Check out some of the other songs he played on Neu-Isenburg - simply superb!

ah this is lovely Devin Townsend *creates new programming language to get flute effect from pedal Steven Wilson *hires flautist

absolutamente brillante. wilson un genio por donde se le mire, wilson es un lujo para la música actual. hoy que la basura pareciera adueñarse de todo. wilson es una luz de esperanza . Grande Genio

Gorgeous. Beautiful. Amazing. What a song...what a song.

Progressive in its max state!!! Thanks, Wilson

PERFECT....just .....PERFECT....

What an amazing show.

A modern masterpiece... 😍

Every man in that stage is a top notch musician, Mr, Wilson is not messing around folks.

Song of the year? Song of the year.

Why on Earth would anyone give this a thumbs-down? What is wrong with you 19 poor souls?

And artist of the century, of course.

Saw him in Milwaukee last week and have listened to him every day since. Absolutely love everything he does.

Why do I get goosebumps? Why are my eyes filled with tears? Sing Raven, sing. Please, sing..

Hauntingly beautiful....

He is my Hero!

The progressive rock is not dead ! Magnifical music ! Friendships Steven ! And Marco drummer ! Continu ! Friends !
