Porcupine Tree’s eleventh album, Closure/Continuation, was released to critical acclaim, reaching #2 in the UK album charts, #1 in Germany, and Top 10 throughout Europe. The subsequent arena tour traversed four continents and played to over 150,000 people, many of whom had never seen the band before. Each night, the band played for nearly three hours and drew from a rich and deep catalogue that had lain dormant and untouched over the last decade. The fan reaction, from city to city, was simply ecstatic.
Closure/Continuation. Live perfectly documents Porcupine Tree’s triumphant return to the stage. Recorded live on 7th November 2022 at the 17,000-capacity Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam, it places the listener/viewer right in the heart of the show for its entire duration. Psychedelic visuals explode behind the band as they play a set of songs including—in Steven Wilson’s words— “no hits,” each of which is received like an anthem from an alternative universe.
Closure/Continuation.Live sees Wilson, Barbieri, and Harrison, augmented by touring musicians Randy McStine (guitars) and Nate Navarro (bass), playing much of Porcupine Tree’s 2022 reformation album (including the singles Harridan and Of The New Day), alongside classics like Trains, Fear of a Blank Planet, and Anesthetize.
