Agreed Buppetpusker - two of my loves combined - PT and puppets! I got to see Porcupine Tree a couple of years back in Newtown. 'The Incident' in it's entirety. Nothing I see or hear will ever compare to that! I was actually looking for imagery from that gig when I stumbled across this clip.

very well done I must say. Sad story though. But cool style.

I was there too! I was with a friend and we were stuck behind a guy with dreads who thought it was a /great/ idea to smoke 4 or 5 joints in the pit, in the enmore! Despite that it was a really great gig - I was the first to shout free bird (warranting a reply from Steven) but undoubtedly Lasse Hoille's films were the star of the show.

Whilst we're on the topic of dark stuff, check these marionettes out http://major-zag.tumblr.com/tagged/puppets/page/2. This blog is all that I can find about what seems to have been a small indie production but the puppets are exceptionally well made, and some very clever ideas in mechanics. My favourite is the one with the trunk/tentacle for a face.
