Akerfeldt Lindgren Mendez Lopez Wiberg on a stellar night during a stellar chapter of their career. Might be their peak. The people in this audience are lucky.
I was there, at the first row slightly at the middle-left, I was 19, it was one of the very first concerts I attended alone and abroad, and one of the best top 10 concerts of my life now that I'm 35. Magical cosmic night. After the show on my way to my hotel alone, I actually couldn't go back to sleep so I was wandering alone in the streets, I can tell you that after a gig like this one, something inside me is completely dead, leaving more space to something new, Opeth changed this in me, making that jump from my teenage era to my adulthood more unique and elegant in so many levels. I can also add that my musical schizophrenia became more enjoyable.
This is the song that got me hooked on Opeth. I was in my teens somewhere when Damnation and Deliverance came out and I just wrote them off because some guy my ex was seeing liked them. Then I heard Windowpane and was blown away that such a heavy band could take it to this level. I remember my life and perception of art in music changed that day. Greatest band ever.
Riaan Kt Same. This is the first song I really loved by them and now Damnation is my favorite album. I just started listening to them, though so I’ll have to dive into their less popular stuff as well.
@@sammyloehnis3373 not as much as when I delved into Still Life, Deliverance, and Blackwater Park. After a year or so of listening those are my top three. As for Ghost Reveries, it is also amazing. Hours of Wealth is probably my favorite, but you can’t go wrong with any of those tracks. Harlequin, Grand Conjuration, Baying of the Hounds. This is the only band I can constantly listen to and never get burnt out on them. Soooooo good.
@@cvrenty9976 Steven Wilson didn't change their music... Mikael already had all of this stuff written before SW ever came into picture. Also, Steven produced the albums, which means he was helping with the album production, designing different sonic elements, sounds etc. The music was already written. How do you explain Ghost Reveries if they no longer made metal after Damnation?
An absolute masterpiece. After I found out my first ex was cheating, I wrote a song musically inspired by Windowpane. Never finished the song, met someone new. Seven years later, similar situation and so I’m back, trying to finish a song I started writing a decade or so ago. Opeth look after me on my hours of need. Thank you 🖤
This concert means so much to me because I was given a backstage pass to hang out with the band before and after the gig after I emailed their manager and begged for one. I was the only person to get a backstage pass for that gig. As I walked into their room the door opened and someone walked out before I could walk in. I didn't realize it at the time but it was Steven Wilson. I only have one photo of me with the guys, but the person who took the photo messed it up because they didn't focus the camera properly, so it's a bit blurry but you can make out everyone, including the silly fanboy grin on my face! XD
My favorite Opeth track ever. The entire "Damnation" album is a gem, but that track is just... awesome. I'd love for Rick Beato to do an analysis video.
Blank face in the windowpane Made clear in seconds of light Disappears and returns again Counting hours, searching the night Might be waiting for someone Might be there for us to see Might be in need of talking Might be staring directly at me Inside plays a lullaby Slurred voice over children cries On the inside Haunting loneliness in the eye Skin covering a secret scar His hand is waving a goodbye There's no response or action returned There is deep prejudice in me Outshines all reason inside Given dreams all ridden with pain And projected unto the last.
this slight tempo change is the reason i searched this video. he does it in a few songs on this show and it really takes the whole performance to a new level. Peak Opeth right here
For anyone trying to find the intro track here, it's Popol Vuh - Mantra 2. It's from the same record as "Through Pain to Heaven", the intro to Lamentations' B Side (and most of Opeth's live acts)
I've just started getting back into metal after a large break (I'm sober now but was hiding from my demons when I was a drunk). Now facing head on. I dug out my old Still Life CD and played it at full volume... it's still my favourite Opeth album.
I remember the first time I heard Opeth when they were supporting Dream Theater. They played Windowpane that night and I was left dumbstruck. Sublimely beautiful melody...and that solo.... I can't quite find the words.
I realize music is relative to one's taste, but how can it be that everyone on this earth doesn't just love Opeth? I found them years ago and I can't and won't stop listening to their great music.
@@sylvaniathehacker Hong Kong. We are experiencing some serious political protests. I understand why they cancelled it though. Tear gas and molotovs flying around and stuff
Perfecta demostración de la versatilidad de una banda, realizando un viaje musical de lo delicado y prolijo a la potencia de sus guitarras y guturales voces...solo queda decir Gran Banda!!
Why did it take me so long to discover this marvellous band? Its versatility is amazing. So delicate song and lyrics. And with two uruguayans in a swedish band!
Least you can say with 100% certainty that zero narcotics were insufflated (snorted) prior to this performance...unless he was shooting up? Either way, not a glamorous angle to be filmed at lol
@@The-Esoteric-One Just about all the modern prog acts cite the King as their main influences. And yet, they never seem to get the recognition for being one of the most influential bands of all time.
NO (read it with Invoker's voice) (?) I appreciate your kindness, but a I don't give a shit for your answer and your DVD's acquisition. So, GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE, and stick your DVD in your ass. Have a nice day.

SOGNAMETAL1984 really fucking nice story. I wish i was you back then for sure.
This was definitely their best line up by far
That man's drumming... sound even better than in the album. Fucking gorgeous.
So tight
The bass too… the drums is actually crazy tho

Don't you mean In (your) Time of Need?
Drums sound literally perfect.
Yes, that snare sounding so beautiful. But Mikael's guitar not so much, it lacked a punch, the solo didn't had that heart-wrenching feeling.

Zaid Adham that’s so awesome dude.
Wow, that's really cool!! I think they're easily one of the best bands ever 💯🎸
You friends with Raafat man? I think he told me one of his friends was there.
That’s cool. - clearly there are people there- so they all got to be somebody……I think. Haha.
Good for you
Words can't explain what this song makes me feel

Blank face in the windowpane
Made clear in seconds of light
Disappears and returns again
Counting hours, searching the night
Might be waiting for someone
Might be there for us to see
Might be in need of talking
Might be staring directly at me
Inside plays a lullaby
Slurred voice over children cries
On the inside
Haunting loneliness in the eye
Skin covering a secret scar
His hand is waving a goodbye
There's no response or action returned
There is deep prejudice in me
Outshines all reason inside
Given dreams all ridden with pain
And projected unto the last.
how the fuck is this band so good?
Prashanna Gautam I know . Its incredible
Prashanna Gautam hard work
Prashanna Gautam however nothing beats the live performances by porcupine tree, they are on beyond god level!!
After all SW was opeth's sound engineer for damnation.
@@shrijanaryal4923 and the two previous but who’s counting am I right?
The way Lopez slows it down at 5:59 is just perfect. I wish they did that on the album version
His groove really took the whole band a new direction.
this slight tempo change is the reason i searched this video. he does it in a few songs on this show and it really takes the whole performance to a new level. Peak Opeth right here
Remember buying the dvd and watching it with someone who only ever heard Damnation... Hilarity ensued when Master's Apprentices began.
Lmao
And this will always be the best Opeth's line-up.
That another level of music
the most beautiful album ever. EVER.
I wish it had more prog songs like Windowpane though. All the others songs are verse/chorus. Windowpane bridge is long enough to escape this category.

In my opinion Dream Theater must support Opeth
7:32 dat face though
Was constantly expecting him to choke on that plec
Lol
Windowpane is a really good song. Opeth play it live very well here!
4:14 so eery, groovy and cool love this section
" far away, across the fields, tolling on the iron bell, calls the faithful to thier knees, to hear the softly spoken magick spell"... Pure Magick.
Stunning! Damnation is timeless.
Martin lopez....jazz beats with a metal touch.....what a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious performance....
5:12 dat rim shot!
Arguably the best live album of all time.
Now for the song that will get us chicks backstage
Roundhouse tapes /,,/
I see what you did there :D
You're not wrong
I thought he says "time for the song that will get us chicks backstage"
The only chick Mikael want has glasses,is British,and his name is Steven Wilson
I realize music is relative to one's taste, but how can it be that everyone on this earth doesn't just love Opeth? I found them years ago and I can't and won't stop listening to their great music.
What a class act!!!
This guys are simply amazing
Just bought a ticket for December 12. Here to see how well they perform. They keep it pure.
Lucky you. They just cancelled a Dec show in my city! :(
@@ndbd9drn what city? If you don't mind..

Best performance ever.
Not a real opeth fan, more into the brutal death metal, but man, this is outstanding, beautyfully executed music.
This amazing concert should be remastered to 4K.
Perfecta demostración de la versatilidad de una banda, realizando un viaje musical de lo delicado y prolijo a la potencia de sus guitarras y guturales voces...solo queda decir Gran Banda!!
Intro sounds like a call for a Viking war! Outstanding song! Opeth Rules!
Yeah, intro did sound like a call for a Viking war.
This song just puts you in a good place.
Uma das melhores bandas que existem. Conseguem fazer melodias perfeitas, que traduzem nossos mais profundos sentimentos. Eu amo Opeth.
perfeitas mesmo, nivel pink floyd, aliás essa musica é pink floydiana, nada na música consegue me fazer viajar como essa melodia.
Jack Meira Ferreira - Nile
Where are you from?
I'm italian and I understood your words,but it isn't spanish,is it?
Is it portoguese?
J. M. F. - Nile bloodbath é melhor a outra banda do Mikael
Phenomenal song.... One of the many that got me into this group. I wish they still had this line up though. Pure musical healing
What a live studio version, how accurate how perfect ❤
Ahhh, intro included. A wise choice. Very nice.
3:53 min. that guitar heals my soul.
Non smetto mai di ascoltarla
GREATEST CONCERT OF ALL TIME
a legendary concert. I don't complain about Opeth, but this is the lineup and perfect concert for me.

1:27 without guitar long notes
Man, I miss this lineup.
Opeth hasta la muerte, asombrosa banda!
Best Opeth line-up, best Opeth live DVD. Wish I could witness that night from a corner.
My favorite Line-up
I bought this on DVD by accident as a teenager. Forever changed the way I viewed metal.
I love that Popol Vuh - Mantra 2 intro
No words to say
time flies in this song. I haven't understood how it finished so fast. wanted to continue listening to it.
One of the greatest! one of favorite!
greatest live album ever made!! OPETH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Imagine that i just discovered this masterpiece..it just undescribable
I just love the bassline when it goes dmm dmm dmmt ta dmm dmm dmmto dmmt ta dmm
A pure art
Guitars, keyboards, drums, vocals are another universe of course! Incredible band. Hail from Turkey.
2:05 ♥️
Masterpiece
That first solo.. ❤️🙏🤙
Amazing skills.
Damnation forever Csmre!!!
What a performance!
SENSACIONAL ♥️
Take a shot every time Mikael lifts his head up.
"iiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnsideeeeeeeeee." This is the best part
MASTERPIECE!
Omg! Live like audio
Mikael seems so happy here!
This song evokes a bit like king crimson

I should say that Martin Lopez plays magnificently in this song. It sounds subtle and powerful at the same time.
Best line-up, R.I.P.
The best version . . .
god the pads at 7:30 makes me fly
Where is I LOVE IT button?? So beautiful!!
The second solo is heaven
Älskar er omgggggggg!!
This has got to be about a million times better than the album version.
Grand Opeth
2:01
Lopez: "Alright let me slow things down and lay a sexy ass groove"
TH-cam just sucks. They've erased the complete Lamentations' video concert.

IT USED TO BE ON HERE B STARDS
Another one... Get the fuck off with your DVD.
Opeth at their best imo.
@5:12, sometimes there are some parts on the recorded original version you dont have to change on the live version.
pls hd soon
Anybody know what the opening music is called?
It's hauntingly beautiful. Sets the mood for what's to come.
Never mind, I found it my self. It's called Through pain to heaven by Popol Vuh.
bald heady But that song is the opening of "Master's apprentices"
Popol vuh - mantra 2
Sobrenatural composición.. .
Lopez is just unreal, sweet lawd
Incredible. 4:30 = 🔥
Melhor banda do universo
Oh yeahhhhhhhhhh
That beat is sooo addicting
