Porcupine Tree @ 4th & B

Listening to Radio Paradise has expanded my list of preferred musical acts and living in SoCal affords me the chance to catch the more obscure tours. Porcupine Tree has a hard-edged, complex drive.

I was surprised to see them come to San Diego as an opening act at 4th and B. Everyone was frisked by security upon entry – yes, we are downtown. PT played with an abundance of energy and VOLUME! It’s wrong to think they can create the complexities in a live show that comes from a CD but they made up with it by LOUD PLAYING!

My ears are still ringing. Looking over the crowd, I think I may have been the oldest person there.
