Porcupine Tree - Athens (1995 live performance)

A restored mixing desk recording of the complete 103 minute performance given by PT on their first ever visit to Greece, 2 days before Christmas 1995. It captures the band between albums, premiering some new material from what will become Signify, as well as most of then current album The Sky Moves Sideways. As with all board tapes it favours the instruments with no amplification from the stage, so Richard Barbieri's keyboards have a high profile here (no bad thing!)

This DAT recording is top notch.

So, it's like the "Coma Divine" album, but earlier.. o.k. We have a saying here in Greece "Every last year's always better". AND at last, we get to clearly hear the substantial input of Richard Barbieri in the band's overall sound. Plus, it's Chris Maitland there playing the drums, who I always felt matched better with PT's style. At least for that pre - metal-influenced era.

Os primeiros 7 minutos demonstram a nítida influência de Pink Floyd da época do Obscured by Clouds e Meedle!
Muito bom!

Si Pink Floyd llegó al lado oscuro de la luna P.P.T., llegó más allá de la Via Lactea

Who was the drummer? It was not Gavin Harrisson?

[@philippe4626]

The drummer was Chris Maitland at that time. That was before Gavin H. joined PT (in 2002).
