5.0 out of 5 stars Porcupine Tree Live in Poland 2001, August 13, 2007

By	Richard Thompson "Music Fanatic" (El Paso, Texas) - See all my reviews

This new Digipak version is a re-release of an earlier Madfish Records UK release from 2005. As a Porcupine Tree fan and music listener for the majority of my life, I can tell you, this is one excellant concert recording.

The performance is from a Polish radio show broadcast that included a small in studio audience. The performance was right on the heels of the Lightbulb Sun tour, so most of the songs performed are from that album. A couple more from Stupid Dream, Voyage 34 (Phase One), and the title track off the Signify album. This is a real treat, since the Lightbulb Sun album has been out-of-print for a long time now. This was my first chance to hear the songs (I'm still waiting for the rumoured re-release this fall).

I'm not going to try and give you a full description of the music on this album, if you need that, please see the Amazon Review by "fats al" of the 2005 version dated February 22, 2006. He does an excellant job. I just didn't think it would be right to cut and paste it here!

This cd is also a great bargain: it's packed to the brim with music. 79 minutes and 19 seconds worth of beautiful live PTree music for only $12. I will say track 8, Hatesong, is absolutely the Best! 5-stars!

5.0 out of 5 stars Warszawa Live LP by Porcupine Tree, June 26, 2007

By	A. C. Bell "music addict" (New Zealand) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Being recently addicted to Porcupine Tree, I found this live album great right from the awesome guitar intro to the first track "Even Less" through to the final song "Signify". "Voyage 34" is perhaps not all that good live but everything else is fresh and solid. Of particular interest is that the album contains 6 songs from the hard-to-get album Lightbulb Sun including the superb "Russia On Ice". I highly recommend this album to all rock music fans!

4.0 out of 5 stars Porcupine Tree - 'Warszawa' (Snapper) 4 1/2 stars, April 5, 2009

By	Mike Reed (USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Hear, now! This is a bit more like it, a great sounding live recording of Porcupine Tree playing in front of a select crowd in 2001, Poland just prior to their 'Lightbulb Sun' tour. Enjoyed this performance a lot more than I did when I saw them out on their 'Fear of A Blank Planet' U.S. trek. I don't own a copy of this CD but I was able to check out a friend's copy. Got some good vibes from experiencing the somewhat stunning "Hatesong" along with the other material Steve Wilson and crew played off 'Lightbulb Sun'. Specially dug the last two cuts - their unbeatable twelve-minute progressive soundscape epic "Voyage 34" {wish they'd play this on their next tour} and "Signify". In the last several years, I've sort of lost interest in this band. However 'Warszawa' proves that Porcupine Tree still has some life to go. A nice pick.
