I'm liking that song Harvest anyway, I'd even maybe go to the gig, good way to suss them out more I reckon.

I dunno, they're both literally an figuratively a very different band from the one that recorded Blackwater Park (and the other classic records).

Never knew Anathema were supporting, only started listening to them there today (latest album)

Untouchable (Part 1 and 2) is absolutely unbelievable, got serious shivers up my back at one point during the second part.

Last nights setlist for Opeth. The previous night was very similar to this so looks like it will be a good night!

Oh wow, very different setlist there. So much of the Heritaghe stuff replaced!

It was ****ing awesome. My neck actually hurts now from head banging.

Grid.

Top gig......shame Anathema didn't play for longer though! Enjoyed laughing at Akerfeldt between songs, he's a funny guy!

Fantastic gig. Some of the crowd chatting during the quieter songs (particularly the start of famine) was incredibly rude though.

Here Come The Pretzels

Thought it was a brilliant gig. I hadnt looked at previous setlists from this tour (to remain "spoiler free" as it were) and was expecting mostly Heritage songs and a few of the mellower songs off previous albums.
I got a nice surprise when they played Ghost of Perdition and it carried on from there.
Mikes growl was on surprisingly good. Overall it was a good balance of heavy and mellow songs...like Opeth in general really!
Harlequin Forest! :cool:

It was a great gig. Band sounded great. I always forget how class Axe is. Love his drumming.

I'm glad it wasn't a Heritage heavy gig, because it would actually have been **** due to the crowd. During the start of Famine people were shouting at them and talking over it all etc. No wonder they cracked under pressure and made a heavier set. You'd get sick of that every night.
I did love the set though! Great collection of songs

Damn right! Love that song so much and had never seen them play it live

Fantastic gig, loved from the start to the end, and only then Opeth came on stage. Axe looked like he didnt break a sweat at all.

Good gig, I thought the sound mix was fairly bad though, the other guy's guitar was quite down in the mix and sounded tinny/overly distorted. The bass was a bit muddy/indistinct, this mix also applied to Anathema. Maybe it was due to where I was standing at the side. Akerfeldt's jokes were strangely funny, must have been the magic of the gig. The drummer is a powerhouse, some great blast beats combined with jazz stuff.

Very Good show it has to be said I also didn't check the recent setlists and I got surprised it was a good mix of maybe fair to say the lesser known tracks on the albums on which they appear (Reverie-H. Forest,Hessian Peel,White Cluster) with the heavies (Blackwater Park/Ghost.../Deliverance) and the 2 heritage tracks. White Cluster or H. Forest my standouts but the whole thing was enjoyable as per usual they leave ya begging for more.

That was shocking alright very disrespectful when people were shouting for others to quite down was also very embarrassing.

I moved around to different spots, ya the sides due to the ceiling being lower there I'd say wasn't great, feel sorry for the people sitting on the ground floor those seats seemed ridiculous.

Agreed, it was embarrassing.

This is definitely a thing I notice in Vicar Street a lot. They seem to always have a stereo setup with the guitars, so if you're on the right you miss a lot of the volume on Fredrik's side. I was only a little on centre right and could notice it

Great Gig.Absolutely fantastic musicians

I thought Famine was savage,it sounded devilishly evil.I noticed that they have dropped it from their set,probably for reasons mentioned above. They have also dropped Burden so I am glad we got both of those songs in the set.
