Steven Wilson - Ancestral (from Home Invasion: In Concert at the Royal Albert Hall)

Steven Wilson, described by The Telegraph as ‘the most successful British musician most people have never heard of’ embarked on his hugely ambitious sold-out To The Bone world tour in 2018. Founder and frontman of adored outsider rock band Porcupine Tree; one half of Blackfield; a Grammy nominated back catalogue remixer for acts like Roxy Music, King Crimson and Tears for Fears, as well as a solo artist hugely respected for a series of visionary LPs, from 2008’s Insurgentes, to his bestselling album To The Bone. Home Invasion celebrates the very best from across his career so far, presented as a cinematic multi-media show with glorious visualisations and outstanding musicianship. This stunning concert film was captured on the final night of his three night sold out residency at the Royal Albert Hall, London in March 2018, concerts which were hailed by media and fans alike as among the very best shows of the year.

Am I the only one who got amazed from Craig Blundell's drum work here? Definitely deserves more attention.

[SylvainFluet]

Neil Peart is gone, Chris Squire is gone but when I see musicians like this, the future of prog is bright !

[boeloboelens]

The brilliance of King Crimson, Yes, Genesis and Jethro Tull combined...

[Natalia-lolx]

This is outstanding, I think that Steven Wilson is easily at the level of David Gilmour, Frank Zappa, etc an absolute genius since his beginnings with No Man, the instrumentals with IEM, the magnificence of Porcupine Tree, his solo career, collaborations in tremendous albums like Damnation and Deliverance, Storm Corrosion by example his carrer impresses me.

We all know that Steven Wilson is a genius but can't we just appreciate the remarkable cinematography of this live concert? What a masterpiece!

The part from 00:00 to 13:26 was superb! Ingenius stuff!

[juliajolin]

I gained a new appreciation for this song after hearing it live.

[nuhashsadib]

I don't how people are so quietly sitting on that solo, I would've fainted out if I was there

[toniogro]

The integrity of that bassist's pony tail braid is truly impressive

[arnabrahman]

You can't possibly be that good!
Steven Wilson: Yes.

[lukeweber]

I know people always talk about Gavin and Marco, and I love their drumming with all my heart and soul, but man did the drummer absolutely bring it with this song.

[MarcoPal-oo]

By far the music that best reflects the title.
Music, rhythm, 'ballet' everything is truly ANCESTRAL

[seanabbottband]

I believe this is his best lineup. They sound awesome together! Can’t wait to see him in September!!!

[RayTheGuitar]

Alex Hutchings, Outstanding Player ! What a solo ! Taste / feel / Excitement ....

[milesalbert]

An album that will stand the test of time. HCE.

[washablecrown]

This might be the most overwhelming song that he could possibly play on stage. I just can't wait to hear him live.

[carlnicola]

Seeing and hearing this song live is an experience I'll never forget

[jefferyong-ftpq]

Amazing rendition of legendary govan's solo by alex hutching

[deadwing]

Years later, I didn't realize how much I liked Ancestral until I heard this live version.

I love SW vocals. They're not flashy but instead his vocals are like oxygen... refreshing and pure, enjoyable, and often overlooked.
