just saw them last night in Bangor, just became a fan a couple weeks ago after the radio station pounded new album in my ears, then suggested I see some of the videos, and these concerts were up. I had an absolute a riot! class participation is required!
It's funny you say this. I saw them a year ago when they played with volbeat. Never heard them before but once I saw them live I became a fan. Now can't stop listening to their music. Best showmanship and appreciation to their fans, let alone great songs, how can you not become a fan of theirs.
How do they always seem to sound excellent live?! Their talent and consistency are excellent! Not to mention they seem to have an excellent crew behind them. Excellent production!
I play guitar: their instrumental guitar parts are quite straightforward (yet efficient! ), guitar solos are mostly melodic (no senseless shred) and therefore easy to perform identically on stage. Maybe the voice of T Forge is the only variation I can think of (probly the mask doesnt help). My fav band at the moment, very powerful and awsome songs
@@laurentferriere2748 It's not just their playing though, their sound engineers are insanely good at what they do - it takes a lot of behind the scenes magic to make a live sound as good as theirs. I saw them in person for the first time recently and was absolutely floored at how good their sound was :)
8:39 I hate how anyone is talking about how much weird Papa is being. He screamed "no" after the "never to return" line, in many other latest shows, not only this one. God I fear for his life so much, my sweet Copia cannot die 😭😭
My theory is that he won't die but the other Papa's are gonna be brought back somehow. Also since Impera is about the end of an empire, I think something may happen to Sister Imperator since she pretty much made this whole thing happen and has been in charge since day 1. Anyway if anything happens to Copia I'm gonna lose my shit.
@@Nym._. I literally developted a whole complex theory (more like fanfic but anyway) about Cardinal to avoid his death. I am honestly believing it, because no, he cannot die. Please, Sister... protect your little Cardi 😭😭
I never heard of Ghost until a few days ago when I stumbled on one of their vids, now I wish I'd known about them sooner and that I'd known about the concert, I would have gone in a heartbeat, hope they come back to Tucson soon so I can see them live
This show was on my 18th birthday! If I lived in Arizona and knew ghost existed at the time, I could have been here instead of in Frankfort, Kentucky eating at longhorn with my annoying ass family.
It’s really cool to see this, especially considering you were so close to where we were standing. So it’s from the same perspective and I get to relive it all! Thank you for sharing this. They put on the best shows!
Gawd, Kaisarion is such a kick-*ss opener! A soundscape that sets the stage for all that follows. Every member: SuperStars - Rock doesn't get any better than this!!!
Last time they were here, I heard about the concert three days after it occurred. There was no way I was gonna miss Ghost again. Had ZERO clue that they dropped a new album this year, let alone that this was their tour for the album. I fell in love with Ghost all over again from this concert, that I can't stop listening to Impera from beginning to end at least three times a day. I can't wait for what Tobias has in store for us next. Thank you for uploading. I get to experience this all over again.
Same by 2 weeks lol. I literally found them 2 weeks after their Phoenix ritual! I kick myself for that but at least I got to see them this last time. I'm so excited for them to come back next year! I bet it will be in Phoenix this time too! You're very welcome ❤ I'm so happy I can help others relive the best night ever!
different story, I kept hearing the songs, and checked out the video's to decide buy tickets or not. The show, and this is no lie, has put my depression back in the locker. Spillways is basically spot on, that's what this concert was. ( don't forget to practice the verses, it's a class participation show). Nothing like being there though, it's real thunder!
They did play half of the songs from that album. You can'f play all of them, that's not how a concert really works logistically. You need to have the bangers that people recognize and also throw in some of your old songs for people that are just getting into the band to discover
@@Lazarus_Cardinalis Cradle of Filth did a tour last year where they played Cruelty & the Beast in its entirety with select fan favorites at the end and it was awesome >
Man, it's been more than a month since that night and i can't still belive it, i miss this night so much, like since then i watch my videos and pictures of the ritual and almost end up crying all the times, it was really the best night of my entire life.
Different story here, but same result, saw them early September. Didn't even know who they were about 5 months ago, now it's all I want to hear (y).. Con Clavi Con Dio, and Year Zero were 2 of the loudest most intense songs I've ever seen. It's a good feeling on the square!
@@mfkrwithabrain He might be! The fan theory is that he's Sister Imperator's son but she hid him from Nihil. Also they've kinda eluded to this in their videos!
@@Nym._. Shoot you're right! I just remembered I watched it before, it was when Cardinal came home, and how could I miss the fact 😑 thanks for explaining that 👌🏼
@@Nym._. I wanted to know who is Primo's, Secondo's and Terzo's mother. It appears they have the same mother and father (Nihil), just Copia that is Sister's baby.
Thank you for sharing. I’m in Phoenix and had it all planned out to go. My brother lives in Tucson. Unfortunately I got really ill and ended up in the hospital for 5 days. It would have been my first ritual. 😞
I'm so sorry that happened to you 😢 They are planning on coming back at least 2 more times as far as I know before Sept 2023 so you still have a chance to see them!
This was such an incredible show -- easily one of my favorites of all time! They've come a long way since I last saw them when they opened for Iron Maiden several years ago 🤘
Thank you, thank you for posting this incredible show. Being there was amazing. Saw them in Phoenix in March, but this ritual was even better. Shout out to Spiritbox and Mastodon, they were great. 😁🤘❤❤❤
💯 agree, the show in Phoenix was March was good, but they were on fire for this show, really glad to have made the trip down. And, as a Sun Devil, "Tucson AZ go fuck yourself!" at the end was outstanding in a whole different way lol
I love Ghost but it may take seeing them in person to understand just how incredible they are as musicians and showman. This is literally one of the best shows I have ever seen and I have seen alot!
@@Nym._. I love that😂 I didn’t take a ton of videos solely cause I kept jumping and moving and I wasn’t fully stable to record since I was moving so much
What you don't get from these videos: insides shaking with the bass, and drums, those explosions are really loud, and those flames are hot!, I was on side with lead guitar, and he is the real deal, it's funny from either side, He threw his pic at the other guy, and he picked it up to show him "it's mine now", and put it in his pocket. Hilarious
@@Nym._. yes, I just edited that, wrote it when I was uninformed. lol when I see the vids of him talking like he's from Kansas, and is good on the guitar. I was quite a mind f%*k to figure it all out hahaha. So, Aether is lead? ( on the right ) he's crazy good
I would like to throw out a question to whomever reads this… If they were to perform from now on without their masks… Would it make a difference. Would they lose fans, would they gain fans, or would it stay the same? I love GH💀S✝️
It would make a huge difference in the experience, and the lore that is still unravelling. The music will remain awesome, but part of the experience that is Ghost, is the theatrics, show, and the masks. I'm not sure how it would affect the number of fans, but I can imagine people would be less interested in going to a ritual
Agreed with other comments...just wanted to say...this man is a true SHOWMAN. Think about how uncomfortable that mask must be onstage. Give him props!!!
@@stevej4709 I always think about Tobias and the Ghouls And do all those stadiums have air conditioning Plus I think it’s hard for the Ghouls to see through those masks.
Rat-bitten pants, a blue sequin jacket with a "Fuck You" patch, a Victorian and steampunk inspired military outfit, a ceremonial gown and cornette, a vest with the Grucifix logo and of course his Papal vestments.

Dont get me started.. saw them in Norway in april, still constantly replaying in my head😅 same with when I first saw them in 2019..🤤🤘🔥
Saaame. I came for Spiritbox and left a Ghost fan
I’m so fucking jealous you have no idea
Was it the sex? To many people asking to join in lol
Thank you so much for posting. It was my first ritual and I've been crying over it for the past days
I've got the post ritual depression 😢

So many shows and such perfection ! Hard hard work from Tobias, The Ghouls and the crew . Tobias sure knows how to strut and engage his audience .

Lol believe me, in ten years or so, you’ll grow to appreciate them despite their annoyingness
We need to capture this on a live album.

Best new band out there right now!! By far.
"New" they were founded in 2008
@@LH-vx9zw you mean 1965? My father loved Mary on a Cross and Kiss the Go-Goat when he was in the army and Papa Nihil was the head of the band
I was there! Loved them the first time I heard them! The fans are so amazing! Into every moment. It was like one big party!
Gawd, Kaisarion is such a kick-*ss opener! A soundscape that sets the stage for all that follows. Every member: SuperStars - Rock doesn't get any better than this!!!

I’ll never recover from how much I was screaming and crying that night
i wish they performed more of the songs from impera, but over all, this is such a good show and i still wish i couldve seen it in person
I would really love if they did an entire tour dedicated to one album. Start to finish and then a few fan favorites at the end.

This was the best show I've ever seen.
Definitely definitely one of the world's mega bands well done Tobias and the boys and the sweet lady
People need to put down their damn phones and just enjoy the show. Yes, I get the irony of that statement watching this YT video.
That has to be the most egregious shit I've seen when it comes to phones at concerts, they should be kicked out.
