I was there! The holy trinity lol, Devin Townsend opened, then Gojira, then Opeth. Amazing concert, Opeth is my favorite of all time but honestly Devin stole that show for me, his performance was impeccable.
That must have been the grearest evening. Devin and Opeth are my house Gods. Gojura is brutal honesty which I love. I will atleast see Judas Priest next month. Live in Dalhalla in sweden. Another fantastic stage setting with water around the stage. Old mine. 😎🤘
Im going to give extra credit to a dude named Magnus who manages the lightshow. Some of it is pre-programmed but most of it is done manually by this amazing guy. 😍
I have seen Opeth 8 times here in Perth Australia! My guitarist, brother and myself literally bumped into the entire band on a footpath before the latest concert!! It was so cool! We all nodded at them in recognition and casually walked past them... lol We didn't want to do the selfie autograph thing, we thought it'd be cooler to just acknowledge them that way and let them chill before the gig!
@@WorldOfPain666 My favourite one was 2008 when the power went out 3/4 through the gig, the amps and emergency lighting still worked but no strobes etc. Mikael after 10 mins standing on stage wondering what to do, got some torches for the drummer to see his kit, then asked us if we wanted them to continue playing - you know the answer! They did 2 more songs (BWP and Demon of the Fall...lol) The other fave show of theirs was 2019 when I actually bumped into all of Opeth plus 2 security guards on a footpath outside a pub with my guitarist and my brother before seeing Opeth on stage!! We wore custom Opeth teez that I printed myself by hand that are total one-offs!!
I had a moment of disappointment when I saw this was Ghost of Perdition again, but you two are too entertaining and I was grinning like a fool within the first minute. It helps that you seem to have barely listened to Ghost of Perdition since you first heard it...which is crazy to me 😅 It's funny, a lot of Opeth fans will crap on Mikael's harsh vocals for how they sound these days, but everyone who reacts to this video is still impressed by how he sounds. You can hear a difference for sure, he's more growly and less screamy, but I think it's just different, not necessarily worse or better.
its probably natural as well. the metallica vocals were "screechy" in the early days as well in the 80s. its just a vocal progression. a classical musician does a review on it, the vocals are very relaxed and im guessing its probably for preservation that it closes off early.

I was there omg. I can't believe the sound quality in that place. No concert will ever top this. Not even backstreet boys. I'm only going to see them because I love my wife. Hahahhaha
Listen to shepherds bush live concert...even on your time... it is flawless...... this one is production wise better but pre 2008 opeth live is magic!!
Seeing Opeth in a live setting is one of the nicest metal experiences out there🙂 Not only are they great musicians with great music, but Mikael is so chill and often full of hilarious bullshit between songs😂
I was at this show.. Incredible lineup, and Opeth, of course, stole the show… Which considering who they followed, speaks volumes. Wouldn’t expect anything less..
I had the pleasure of seeing Opeth in Detroit back on May 18th of 2003 and met the band after the show (except for their drummer who I watched run from the venue to the tour bus). That was the first time I was ever star-struck. I had a nice little chat with Mikael Åkerfeldt. He told me how he was struggling to quit smoking. I expected Mikael to be a really big guy like most Swedes seem to be, but he’s actually only about 5’6” (edit: I am mistaken, he’s about 6’, I was thinking of the bassist). I love your reactions! See you next time :)
Sweet fav Opeth song why no America who knows they are so good how are they not more popular in America they don't come to Canada but they are popular here just not enough population to make the tour worth it. Mikeal is the most talented male vocalist in Death metal was my fav male lead death metal band ever. Arch Enemy and Opeth were in rotation with Nightwish Cradle of Filth Dimmu Borgir Epica(Sahara Stardust) yeah late teens early adulthood all the time 24 hours a day.
Just saw them with Mastadon last night in Portland OR ...both bands were mind blowing!! There were some technical difficulties, but it didn't stop the shredding...sound quality was next level...
Great vid, great concert, great performance, great reaction, great band. Just all great! Tips for upcoming reactions! The Funeral Portrait April Etheral Width of a Circle Harvest Closure ....and many, many, many, many more.... did I say many more?
Opeth are incredible live! Fun facy. On Netflix there is a new series called Clark. About a notorious criminal. Guess who wrote the music? Mikael Åkerfeldt! So I will watch it asap! Ge had to do something during Covid. Cheers! Stay Metal! 🤘😎🤘
First... You said "I forgot..." about some part of the music... You must play more Opeth 😈 Second... 29 Nov and after 2 years of postponing because of the Covid im going to see them in Lisbon 🤘🤘🤘🤘 Third... More Opeth pleeeeeeeeease 😁
Believe it or not growl wise compared to years ago these are pretty weak Mikael is always gonna sound good.. if you wanna hear he’s peak vocals go listen Bleak live of the Roundhouse tapes (he does a scream in that what any other metal vocalist would die for) and my personal favourite live performance Masters apprentices live at Shepard’s bush it’s stunning!!!!
I'm in the old school camp I'm sorry to say. I just can't get on with Mikael's heavy vocals these days. His singing in the Round house tapes gig was pure God like. And his early Bloodbath days were demonic
I don't know if you've heard of a band called Textures. There Dutch but they disbanded back in 2016. A couple of it's members have formed a new band called Crown Compass. The debut album is called The Drought. Check it out. Especially The Drought II. They have some in studio videos here on you tube. I don't know if you've ever done any Textures but check them out.
Ooooh what a shame you did the red Rocks version and not the roundhouse tapes DVD live version. His growls are so bad here after many years of doing them.
I’ve thought this same thing for a long time. I was at this Red Rocks show and was honestly very underwhelmed. I’ve seen Opeth many other times and his voice is just not the same when it comes to growls. It happens after so many years but still disappointing.
@@williamreynolds3487 yeah! Sorry I didn’t mean this specific song. I just wish their first live experience with Opeth was something from Lamentations instead
For all you Jinjer fans out there you owe it to yourself to check out Lions at the Gate "Find my Way featuring Tatiana herself. The lead singer is from El Nino for those El Nino fans. This song rips!!!
Man, I hate to say it, but they chose the wrong performance for you guys to react to. The Roundhouse Tapes is far superior, particularly for Akerfeldt’s vocals. Glad you enjoyed it, though.
I agree this show would be stunning without vocals just the band playing.. you’re probably like me and love the roundhouse tapes and lamentations albums! Brutal and powerful!

Hey, I was there too! It was 5 years ago today and I just got back to my hotel from seeing Opeth again!
That must have been the grearest evening. Devin and Opeth are my house Gods. Gojura is brutal honesty which I love.

I just saw Opeth with Mastodon in riverside california a couple days ago. Awesome show and glad to be able to see it.
That tour was awesome, both of them crushed it when I saw them in AZ. A really great pairing

Great reaction! Please do Demon of the Fall live from the Roundhouse Tapes. One of their best live performances!
I couldn't agree more
Yip, yip yip!!! Quoting Krieger

Yes!!! Lamentations! ❤️
Masters apprentices is the best live performance by them on Shepard’s bush it’s brutal!!!
Moon above sun below..!!!!!!!!!
Finally back to Opeth!!!!!
Thank you. Finally. Lamentations, Roundhouse, Royal Albert.
Get it.
Eventually.
Saw Opeth in Toronto a few weeks ago and they are the real deal live. Was super impressed.
How's the new drummer doing? Sad to see Axenrot go.
@@allenvrabac4827 new drummer was pretty good. One of the first songs he is really featured with some insane fills to kind of put any doubt to bed.
We need millions of opeth song 🤤
Shit guys, if you havent already you HAVE TO SEE THEM LIVE!!! been twice now, two of the best shows ive ever seen
Red Rocks is a a special place, I saw Warduna there a few years ago and it blew me away, a magical setting
If you want to see the band at is prime, take a look at « When » or « Demon of the fall » live at Roundhouse Tapes
Out of this world
Seeing Opeth in a live setting is one of the nicest metal experiences out there🙂
Not only are they great musicians with great music, but Mikael is so chill and often full of hilarious bullshit between songs😂
Frack YES! finally some of their live stuff! Pure joy watching you react to them
I saw them with Matodon last year!!! WOW!!! Mind blown! Thanks guys!!!
If you ever have the chance, see them live. You will not be disappointed. :)

@@AbhijeetSingh-ed3lw My goodness I believe I was thinking about the bassist Martin Mendez! I stand corrected.
They just did a show last night at the Paramount Theater here in Seattle. Mastodon opened. But I was unable to go. Work.
Great show. I missed out on this very show. I slept on Opeth for far too long. Amazing!! Great video guys

the best live performance for the best song in the world
I lived in Colorado for 30+ years. Red Rock is the Best place to see a show.
Never been there, but no GA pit = no go for me. GA Pit is the only way to witness a metal show.
@@paulgrudowski4383 lol people still do it. trust me they just fall down some stairs
Great
I saw them at Vancouver a couple of days ago. Didn’t get to see much of their set but I stuck around for this song and they killed it
I love going to Red Rocks, my first concert there was to see Pantera. Good venue as its pretty far away from any major town.
Just saw them with Mastadon last night in Portland OR ...both bands were mind blowing!! There were some technical difficulties, but it didn't stop the shredding...sound quality was next level...

🔥🔥❤OPETH❤🔥🔥
What a coincidence, saw them perform it live in Portland last night! Great show! Pretty sure I had blood coming out of my ears after Mastodon though.
Pelase do When live from the Roundhouse Tapes
It's my favorite opeth performance ever!! 🔥🔥🖤
1000000% agree
Great vid, great concert, great performance, great reaction, great band. Just all great!
Tips for upcoming reactions!

Would rather see a new song but well, Opeth is Opeth. Can't complain about that ;p
Make Opeth Growl Again :(
Lighting: Did you know it was not automated, but manually operated? That is one h... of a job! :P
Seen Gojira, Devin townsend and opeth in concert
Great live perfomance. Almost sounds like a studio recording.
