Guys you need to see "Opeth( Live in the Roundhouse Tapes 2006)".Recorded after Ghost Reveries was released.Posted by "RE-MASTERPIECES".Probably their best live release most fans would agree.They're in top form,simply awesome to see and hear.If you're not a lifelong fan after this you never will be.👍
Roundhouse was awesome and captured the spirit of the band during the Ghost Reveries era. Also the last with Martin Lopez and Peter. But you simply can’t beat the sound mix at Red Rocks. Absolutely top tier.
@@brosephh7130really? I think Shepherds Bush kicked the shit out of this one, both from a performance and a recording/mix standpoint. Mike's growls are nowhere near on the same level, and Axe is good, but he aint on the level of Lopez
Opeth did a rig rundown a few years back. They were using Synergy amps with Friedman modules for the lighter stuff and Soldano modules for the metal stuff. Not sure if it is exactly what they had here.
Michael, I'm so glad you've found this amazing band. I've discovered them 20ish years ago and they're by far my all time favorite (not the new stuff tho, basically everything up to and including Watershed). That feeling you get when you first listen to Blackwater Park is indescribable. They are actually the reason I started to play guitar two years ago. P.S.: You're awesome, keep going man!
I'd love to see this with Between the buried and me! Any of there live albums are great, especially The great misdirect, and parallax 2. Very similar to opeth, behind the heavy and ridiculously technical riffs lies the most pure 70s prog you will get in this generation, like king crimson and genesis. Dream theater and tool. Don't sleep on them.
It very much was! I was there just right of the soundboards. The leather jackets were never planned to be worn during the show but due to the winds/cold they stayed on. During a technical difficulty they had Michael made mention of it and how restrictive playing with the jackets was for everyone.
I am sure I saw a rig rundown / gear tour where they said they used guitars with double low A strings just for the song Sorceress. It is in A so ..... Anyway. Martin Axenrot. He can drum.
Damnation is Opeth's proof of concept, their statement that your music doesn't have to be loud and distorted to be "heavy". The subject matter is what makes the songs heavy. Funnily enough, their album after this was a reaction to the conservatives who dismissed heavy metal as "Satanic". Their response was to say "You want Evil and Satanic? We'll GIVE you Evil and Satanic!". Hence, Ghost Reveries...
Big recommendation for Gojira live. Maybe not quite as groovy but getting that massive sound to come across live with virtually no difference is so impressive. Also the drums a cannon thing is too real with them
So many comments about the guitar tones.....It's really simple....they don't oversaturate. Also the fact that they are usually playing more complex chords rather than power chords really fills it out and makes it sound heavier. Even on the heavier songs, they do not use excessive amounts of gain which keeps it clean and still sounds massively heavy. Ghost is another band that sounds incredibly clean and full live....again because they don't over do the gain.......both Swedish???? HMMMMM
Saw them in this last tour and they were really really good, the sound was awesome. The weirdest thing is that Mikael seems to have is growl back, unlike this video or the last few times I saw them before. After 2006/7 (I think), up until recently, his growls were awful.
Yeah, the growls aren't anywheres near as intense as earlier live shows---Mikael is a smoker, and that does a number on your vocal cords. For prime Mike growls, watch the Roundhouse or Lamentations videos. Its like night and day. Also, Axe is really dragging on several songs here---I think he was affected by the altitude of Red Rocks or maybe the cold, because he absolutely slays "Ghost of Perdition" on the earlier Roundhouse recording. Deliverance here is also really slow at parts, very distractingly so. Not his best night. I mean, unless the rest of the band wanted to play slow.
All musical swedish virtuosos obviously. You do not talk that much of the lead guitarist fredrik åkesson.Over 30 years ago, 1990, he released Talisman - Talisman, with another legendary virtuoso, Marcel Jacob, the bass virtuoso that played with early Yngwie, so these guys ....man...
Lol dissing the mix of Deliverance, which is simply one of the best modern time "clean" metal mix out there. The remaster even more crisp. They stopped doing the death prog metal because Mikael, the main composer, was tired of it and felt that most of what he wrote after Watershed (their last "heavy" record) was shit. He's a 70's prog nut through and through and has gotten in touch with that later on, still maintaining the sound of Opeth. The result is a band that still today sounds like nothing else, or no one sounds like them rather.
@@generaldoof7334 non significa niente !.. ho visto che c’è quel video. Ma dato che ospitava TheMusicSnob, avrebbe dovuto mostrarglielo. th-cam.com/play/PLtxeUSYZhJdAf4J6j6NaIVXD42kyEaRmS.html se si parla di dedizione agli Opeth guarda qua . Ciao
@@rocioiribe5841 True about Demon of The Fall, but he didn’t share With his friend… and also Cusp Of Eternity is way better than Era. Take a look here th-cam.com/play/PLtxeUSYZhJdAf4J6j6NaIVXD42kyEaRmS.html 😉
Opeth "When" is brilliant old Opeth and a must watch. No better Opeth live video than this one: th-cam.com/video/toBy26gqCXA/w-d-xo.html. Please react!
As much as I like Tool's music, they are insufferable snobs. At least that's the impression I had in each of the few occasions I had to hear or read about them, especially from Keenan and Carey (I don't have much of an impression of Chancellor and Jones to be honest). And that includes a live concert I've been to: amazing music but absolutely zero interaction with the audience at all. Opeth on the other hand seem like genuinely cool and friendly guys.
Sad to say this is one of their worst set lists. I've seen them live 7 or 8 times, and it's my favourite band, but other than Ghost of Perdition and Deliverance it's not that good 🙈 You should listen to The Drapery Falls, Bleak, Reverie/Harlequin Forest, Devil's Orchard to name a few..
🔥🔥❤Opeth❤🔥🔥
For me,...greatest band of all time. I'm no spring chicken (73) so I've heard a lot of music in my lifetime.
Like
Hope to carry as much passion as you have throughout my life..... much love.
@@markblaauw4961 😉 Thanks Mark.
@@AbhijeetSingh-ed3lw
❤ Thank you.❤
Thanks for the invite man! Awesome hangs 🤘
Next time some Dream Theater live. Let’s do this 🤘🏻
Yeah 🙌!.. this one live is way better
Opeth is one of the few bands with the talent and musicianship to replicate and even exceed their performance on the record.

They sound unbelievable live. What’s most impressive is Michael’s vocals live!
come on, Orchid, the first album, is the shit. most beautiful thing ever, that atmosphere... it's just pure magic
Michael, just listen to ALL of Watershed. That album is absolute gold.
Good but not exceptionally gold like reveries ;)
@@flataffect they can have more than one. 😉

Absolutely! Opeth and Btbam are my 2 favorite bands of all time.
Dude, I just finished watching the coma ecliptic live in its entirety right now. We are indeed living in a simulation
@@DevenSishes I love them both as well. BTBAM a little more though
I am about to see them opening for Haken on the 12th
I saw btbam opeth and dream theatre in the tabernacle in atl. It was a great night for prog.
We made friends with our usher at our last Tool show and he didn't give my girl any grief when she was filming through the whole show. XD
Apparently it was both cold and windy this night, but it just added to the magic 🙂
It very much was! I was there just right of the soundboards. The leather jackets were never planned to be worn during the show but due to the winds/cold they stayed on. During a technical difficulty they had Michael made mention of it and how restrictive playing with the jackets was for everyone.
Become The Night, you were missing too much ❤️🔥😃😀Without this concert
Mikael and Fredrik both use Synergy modular amps with their Deliverance and SLO modules, I believe.
More opeth please!! You need to do Bleak and, practically, the entire Blackwater park album. Full of massive riffs!
Awww. I was looking forward to the journey through Clusp of Eternity and Heir Apparent :( Normaly its Coil + Heir Apparent.
Since the 60's it's been Floyd for me. Since the late 90's it's been Opeth
I am sure I saw a rig rundown / gear tour where they said they used guitars with double low A strings just for the song Sorceress. It is in A so .....
Anyway. Martin Axenrot. He can drum.
You've entered the rabbit hole of Opeth
Can't believe I missed it! Cheers from Brazil
First song is Sorceress
Honsestly. Yes.
This was great :)
God why I didn’t noticed this live?!!!!!!
I saw a video and they’ve been using Synergy rigs with soldano/Friedman modules paired with an axe fx. Couple special pedals mixed in.
Beers, friends, a good chat and Opeth.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Tool in concert is amazing and I've seen Rush and Opeth

Peak Opeth 🤟🤟
Man, sorry I missed this! Happy to watch now though. Do Joe Russo next!
Porcupine Tree has great live footage.
This was so fun.
Big recommendation for Gojira live. Maybe not quite as groovy but getting that massive sound to come across live with virtually no difference is so impressive. Also the drums a cannon thing is too real with them
Can I compliment some more??? Yes!!!
There's Salival by Tool, that's a great live album
A little correction at the beginning: the tuning for Sorceress is drop A, not drop B. All the other strings are in standard.
Ghost of Perdition is drop D.
@@dkeeper78 It's Open D and not drop D for Ghost of Perdition. DADFAD :)
@@alexandremarchand8815 You ar right! I mix this up every time, my fault. But it´s defenitily not in a stanard e tuning ;-)
@@dkeeper78 he’s not even right it’s DADFAE

sorry for the late comment, but i just watch em live. mikael's growls are like the earlier days now. he fckin made it!
Nobody mentioned that Bloodywood is playing on Thursday?!? YOU SHOULD TOTALLY CATCH THAT
Yeah, the growls aren't anywheres near as intense as earlier live shows---Mikael is a smoker, and that does a number on your vocal cords.

55:55 hell yes Dude thanks for shouting Avatar!
Michael stopped the growls for artistic reasons, not because he “blew his voice out”! Haha
When worlds collide

TH-cam legends!!
Stoner dude in the middle, is annoyingly distracting at inoppertune moments, otherwise killer watch and listen.
yes, Opeth call themselves experts, but don't even seem to have listened to them before
Yeah he does that even on his channel. Annoying individual.
Also casually hating on the newpeth era because he doesn't understand it. The definition of a redneck

And not for everyone. Knotted. Knitted sound. Chambered...ready. fired.
Soundesxplosian.
There’s def a noise gate!
52:08 good to see no, the echoing sorted
Just started watching and hope Mike isn't all echoey all the way through 😱
I thank God that they are not as big as Metallica and I can always afford for their tickets...
Where is your guitar at?
Mynard did Guy Fiero and Steve O
1:00:00 too much talking
You can’t skip Ghost Of Perdition . You CAN’T . There is no reason for doing this

Tool Panuma
Pneuma, I can't spell it
As much as I like Tool's music, they are insufferable snobs.

This drummer left the band over some vaccine arguments I’ve heard. Big loss
New guy supposedly kicks ass---not the interim drummer who couldn't quite make it work. The one they have as a permanent replacement now.
Sad to say this is one of their worst set lists. I've seen them live 7 or 8 times, and it's my favourite band, but other than Ghost of Perdition and Deliverance it's not that good 🙈 You should listen to The Drapery Falls, Bleak, Reverie/Harlequin Forest, Devil's Orchard to name a few..
Heir apparent tho?
@@flataffect It's not their best song, in my opinion, but I get those who like it 😀
01:04:50 😴😴😴😴 omg how many times can they sing the same damn melody
I wish Michael got an unadulterated look at Opeth by himself instead of this.
