PT Setlist Ramblings

The news is in! Setlist for the first Porcupine Tree gig this year:

Deadwing
Sound Of Muzak
Lazarus
Halo
A Smart Kid
Hatesong
Shallow
Arriving Somewhere But Not Here
Fadeaway
Burning Sky
Glass Arm Shattering
Blackest Eyes
The Start Of Something Beautiful
Even Less

Encore:
Shesmovedon
Trains

Hopefully "A Smart Kid" will stay in the set. It's interesting that they're doing "Fadeaway-->Burning Sky". That should be neat as they didn't doing anything from Up the Downstair when I saw them previously. "Deadwing" was kind of a given as opener. "Hatesong" was fucking awesome at that gig, though. Who knows. This is from a UK show and I'm sure the setlist for US gigs will change at least a bit. Looking at another setlist, I see that "A Smart Kid" was dropped while "Glass Arm Shattering" was replaced by "Mellotron Scratch". Plus "Futile" and "Strip the Soul" appeared on the list itself but weren't played. Wait! "A Smart Kid" came back the next night! Plenty of time for "The Creator Has a Mastertape" to make in back into the set. Or "Gravity Eyelids". That was really fucking cool too with the psychedelic lights/projections and the roar of the Mellotron. OK, I need something to eat. Tomorrow, ramblings about work and the Lomax lecture.
