I got to see them in Philly on July 20 and DC on July 21. I had the privlidge of briefly chatting with most of the members of both bands before the show on the 21st and got some cd covers autographed...a nice bonus. Both bands where GOD-LIKE and extremley tight. Opeth did all their mellow psych material concentrating mostly on the DAMNATION cd and some songs from the past that fit the vibe. Porcupine Tree let loose with a wide variety of songs spanning the last few years and a new heavy song titled FUTILE.
