I too would like a visual record of the RAH event but having seen the Incident performed in its entirety not only at the RAH but also at the Apollo London, and in Bristol and Wolverhampton (plus a RAH warm-up in Dublin) a DVD would be amazing. But before I get too carried away in anticipation, is “the story” of this release actually true? I understood that PT performed at the Riviera Theatre Chicago on the 30th April and at The Fillmore Detroit on the 2nd May… a slight discrepancy. And given the lack of chatter or promotion I’m starting to think it’s all just wishful thinking.

There must be a tremendous amount of DAT recording material from The Incident tour and indeed previous tours. When do you think SW/PT will go down the same route as Robert Fripp and DGM and release archive material via an on-line library? The release of FOABP concert in Atlanta was a good precedent of this and I feel sure some lucky sausage would enjoy rooting through archive recordings processing them for purchased download.

At this point, since during the tour he said The Incident wouldn’t be released in a live video edition at all, I’m grateful that there is even a DVD. I think if interest is great enough they will eventually come out with a BlueRay edition, but if not, so be it.

It was an exceptional tour – we saw them five times, which I’ve never done with ANY artist – and I’d go see it again tomorrow if I could. I am a bit sorry nothing was filmed at the Tampa Theatre, as it is such a gorgeous venue, but I guess my memories of that evening will have to suffice.

For now I can’t wait to get my Special Edition copy of Get All You Deserve – phenomenal concert as well. We got a special kick out of meeting Jordan Rudess in the audience as well – we had our photos taken with him but, unfortunately, never received copies of the files.

I would love to see the Radio City Music Hall show released on video – preferably BlueRay – as well. I know the setlist for Radio City and Royal Albert were similar, but not exactly the same.

I didn’t make it to Royal Albert, but I did wind up with a t-shirt – does that count?

The Royal Albert Show was pure magic! I’m feeling a bit sad to see Porcupine Tree not getting all they deserve with a blu-ray release of this concert.

However, I’m sure we’re all of the understanding that his solo work is the focus right now…when PT convene again it will amazing.

Think its a bit strange too that its taken so long to release this one. Would have liked to see the royal Albert show on dvd too.

This one seems odd, maybe because it’s so out of the blue. I too would love to see a Blu-ray release, not sure if i’ll settle for a DVD purely because most of my collection is in the newer format as it’s like “Who even uses VHS anymore?”

Having said that, I would probably end up making the exception as it is Porcupine Tree after all and I loved the live presentation of The Incident when I went out ot see it…but that was 2009 so again, why the wait?

Will there be a Blu Ray?! (Please say yes!)
