Steven Wilson (8/10)
Start 20:00 / End 22:15
Already 30min before the beginning of the event, the lights went down, a full moon with floating clouds appeared on the widescreen behind the stage, and ambient music started to fill the venue. The wait was surely less boring this way, and the whole atmosphere contributed to increase the suspense. The venue was completly equipped with chairs, althought Steven invited us to stand up after about one hour and half, since the situation was about to become hot, with some more metal-oriented pieces. Not only is Steven amazing, his band is too: each member is a fantastic musician, and this contributes to create a show of extremely high-quality. Steven played the new album “The Raven that Refused to Sing (and other stories)” in full and other songs, picking them randomly from his past albums. For more than 2 hours Steven Wilson’ s performance was accompained by matching images on the widescreen and light effects, which contributed to give us an hardly forgettable evening of modern progressive Rock!
