Porcupine Tree frontman Steven Wilson brought his solo tour to NYC over the weekend, playing the Beacon Theatre on Saturday, March 5. He was a little under the weather, unfortunately, and let Ninet Tayeb, and Dave Kilminster sing lead on most of the songs. The first set he and the band played Hand. Cannot. Erase in its entirety, and the second set was comprised of half of this year’s 4 1/2 plus a few Porcupine Tree tracks as well. For the encore he covered Bowie’s “Space Oddity” and finished the night with Porcupine Tree’s “The Sound of Muzak” which was sung by the audience.
