Music for the Head | Porcupine Tree - Live at The Scala (11/8/1999) (early Lightbulb Sun material) [full concert] @musicforthehead | Uploaded October 2017 | Updated October 2024, 50 minutes ago.
By the last month of the "Stupid Dream" tour in 1999, Porcupine Tree had begun to play material that would later feature on the album "Lightbulb Sun" in 2000. This show, one of PT's finest, not only features early versions of "Russia on Ice", "Four Chords That Made a Million" and "Where We Would Be", but also includes songs rarely played live such as "Fadeaway" and "Stranger By The Minute". Why? It was the last PT show of the millennium!
This show sounds absolutely fantastic and is a must-listen for any Tree fan. Crank the volume and enjoy!

This was one of the first ever shows on the Signify tour to feature early Stupid Dream material! Great to hear the slight changes that occurred over time to Even Less in particular - the lyrics seem to change night to night. At this point the full-length arrangement was still 16 minutes, not the 14 minute arrangement that would become familiar to us through Recordings. This change seemed to happen after the 1998 tour when the band began to record the rough takes for the album (see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unKENdzBmPg)
Also, note that SW says that Ambulance Chasing was definitely going to be on the album and that it could end up being the title track (he also said this on other shows on the tour). A shame it didnt end up on the album.
If youre short on time definitely check out the performances of Even Less, This is no Rehearsal, Moonloop (Coda) (they rarely ever did this by itself), Ambulance Chasing and Voyage 34 (the band was on fire).
Even Less (full length, early) - 0:00
Signify - 16:28
Waiting (Phase One) - 23:04
Waiting (Phase Two) - 27:42
Sleep of No Dreaming - 33:15
Up the Downstair - 38:42
This is no Rehearsal (early) - 46:16
The Moon Touches Your Shoulder - 51:05
Ambulance Chasing (early) - 57:00
Moonloop (Coda) - 1:04:00
Voyage 34 (Phase One) - 1:08:02
Encore:
Dislocated Day - 1:20:34
Radioactive Toy (short) - 1:29:05
In 1997, Porcupine Tree was:
Steven Wilson - vocals, guitars
Richard Barberi - synthesizers
Colin Edwin - fretless bass
Chris Maitland - drums, percussion, backing vocals
Audience recording - November 1st, 1997

Thanks to the Porcupine Tree Archive Project for sending me the audio!
Expect more content in the near future - I apologize for the long gap! I have a lot of new shows to sort through now, so expect some cherry picking for rare versions of tracks.
