Two people agree but I dont understand! Maybe im dumb, but could you explain that? I have the roundhouse tapes, havent seen the others but i didnt notice an problems
It's been said before but the quality of the mix on this live recording is just off the fucking chart. Kudos to the recording engineers - they've done themselves (and the band) proud.
drums are a itsy bitsy tiny bit too loud for my preferences but everything else is amazing. They sound amazing at around the 5:35 part though, for the clean vocals.
Just compare it to this... th-cam.com/video/fS-sVOJTC9s/w-d-xo.html Eh. This voice is like tearing apart everything around it. Things will never be same as back then.
Yeah I was at this show. The audience did not hear the clarity of this growling. I'd go as far as saying that this performance may have been dubbed for youtube/ the dvd.
Well, when Opeth tours they don't get much time off inbetween them. If he blows his vocal chords out on day one, the next show will be a really bad performance or outright impossible. So it seems that he's compromising the intensity a bit to sustain his voice throughout ALL of the shows. If he only had say one show a month, he might be willing to up the intensity back up to where he had it in his younger days.
TehSuperbeast I saw Opeth live 3 days ago and Mikael's growl was damn good. Better that ever. And that was a few days after he got sick! Damn impressive
You think that, but when you are actually there in that moment, there is nothing but smiles. Nothing but absolutely pure, unadulterated, joy. I was at this show, and during this song I could do nothing but sing along and grin from ear to ear. I am not sure I have ever been happier in my life!
Is great to see they don't edited the inconvenient that happened during the performance....Also, is great to see how everybody, especially Mike, keep calm while the tech guy repair the problem.....Great performance as always....
We get used to technical issues as musicians. These dudes have like 27+ years of experience. They always remain calm, no matter what. An inexperienced musician would freak out
Silent dance with death. Everything is lost. Torn by the arrival of Autumn. The blink of an eye, you know it's me. You keep the dagger close at hand. And you saw nothing. False love turned to pure hate. The wind cried a lamentation, before merging with the grey. Demon of the fall. Gasping for another breath. She rose, screaming at closed doors. Seductive faint mist forging through the cracks in the wall. I shan't resist. In tears for all of eternity. She turned around and faced me for the first time. Run away, run away. Just one second, and I was left with nothing. Her fragrance still pulsating through damp air. That day came to an end. And she had lost in me, her credence.
This band was my therapy for depression in 2017. Had it not been for Opeth id been suicidal and in way worse mental state today. My heartiest thanks to you guys. Never stop making music Cheers!
@@syam8827 i wish i could see them live onstage :)...but nevertheless, i came across roundhouse tapes on TH-cam which led me to live at Royal Albert Hall
I have replayed 2:15-4:10 at least a hundred times since they've uploaded this video. The transition + the cable issue was epic as fuck. They deserve more credit for this.
@@triptychlux It's definitely true that some Dream Theater songs are just the musicians showing off. However, songs like Octavarium and ACOS are extremely layered and well thought out.
Siddharth Mani I’ll check out bro I don’t want to disrespect any virtuosos hard work but I guess I like the combination of progressiveness and being melodic at the same time:D
@@LETSTALKENTERTAINMENT Check out the last couple of Beardfish albums. Basically straight '70's prog with about 20 seconds of death growls randomly thrown in per album.
I got quiet at the show last night and I yelled out play Demon of the Fall and Mikael said "I don't have the right guitar" then they played it acoustically for about a minute. It was the most badass thing ever
It is admirabe on the part of mikael how at 02:35 he doesn´t lose his composure and after a few seconds he continues the show as if absolutely nothing had happened. Imagine the pressure of being a DVD recording, shit and keep the composure that way is a person with a lot of travel.
I really don't care that the growls are not the same as they used to. They are new, sound dark and evil (thats good). They are better now than a few years back. And lets talk about Mikael's clean vocals, they are AMAZING! I have never thought they were bad, but somehow it is getting better and better. All the instruments sounds really good! The organ at transition at 5:32 is so amazing! This song is so much better with synth/organ added. The audio engineers mixing this live show did a really good job. Will definitely buy this on vinyl.
His growls are quite better yes, but it's weird and out of place listening to those songs with this growls, since we know those are not what it should be on this song. Maybe if they wrote another death metal album that fits his present vocal style...
the band that saved my life, i will forever be grateful of ur existence, your music healed alot of people, thank you again i will tell my grandsons about you when i get old
Axe makes his performance sound and look easy. Complete fucking beast at the kit. Those snare rolls and double bass 16th notes (cant confirm exactly, but when he speeds up the pattern in the intro riff)
@@henrywalton5967 Welp might as well die now, no point to life. Seriously though, I'd probably have someone lug my dead body to the show just so I can say I've been.
Their ability to work through a technical problem with professionalism is incredible. I feel lucky to have seen them live out here in Northern California.
Fuck man, the nostalgia. Opeth is one of the most under rated bands to ever exist. Even this massive crowd, doesnt do them justice. Fuckin pioneers with huge musical backgrounds over numerous genres, displayed in every album. Musicians like this just dont exist any more.
This song has such an inescapable groove. It’s one of opeths grooviest songs. The grooviest will always be blackwater Park but damn when the main riff with the octaves kicks in it’s like a descent into hell.

You know, it's cool that he sang with that «anxious vibe». It only gives additional flavour to the drama of the song. Because drama is often close to something anxious.
Many singers that growled for a long period are souding weaker when they grow older. I think its just normal. Voice change and if you can't accept that, you are in for a lot of bad surprises in the next few years haha ! I know it's hard to accept, but bands are made of people who are not frozen in time. They grow older, they change and the things you loved back then might be gone someday. It does not, however , erase what has been done in the past (at least from my point of view). I can enjoy what Opeth as become while also be amazed by the awesome music they've done before.
Gave me goosebumps. God damn they never ever dissapoint. I've only gotten into them about 8 or so years ago, but i feel like I've known them my whole life. They have changed me in so many ways over the years and i consider them to be very therapeutic. I just get lost in their music and i just let go and let them take me on a journey through my mind. They have made me laugh and they have made me cry. They speak so deeply within me, almost as if they were meant to be in my life.
I've seen opeth live three times and it's always been flawless. Every DVD recording has an issue with the guits. That being said, they are pros and handle it as such. This is amazing.

Hi everybody this is my new prog oriented song
th-cam.com/video/uFG7RqvzVL4/w-d-xo.html
It's just me or did the cable problem fit perfectly well to the song?
Must be an inside job.
Exactly! The longer sustain was badass (too bad he didn't add a little tremolo if did it intentionally) :D
That’s what happens when you’re this good. You can make the screw ups sound good.
Suspeeeeeense
When I listened this on Spotify i Thought this was Intentional lul
Ever since adding keys permanently to their lineup, Opeth have been twice as sinister when playing live
I agree, there's something so purely evil about an overdriven Hammond organ
I know, it just fits so well with the crunchy guitars, it was meant to be.
Thanks to Steven Wilson ;). He changed Opeth for the better.
5:30 is epic

In the royal Albert hall concert! It Happened, like... all the time hahaha
Hector Keith If you check out the version of Lotus Eater from the Royal Albert Hall DVD and go to the 7 min mark, you'll get it too.
The sound engineers on this DVD/Blu-ray should get an award. Such clarity.
Truly, it is so good. Awesome sound lets Mendez come through to reveal his talent.
It's been said before but the quality of the mix on this live recording is just off the fucking chart. Kudos to the recording engineers - they've done themselves (and the band) proud.
Seriously!!!
Mixed by David Castillo. Pretty much says it all. He deserves legendary status already.
drums are a itsy bitsy tiny bit too loud for my preferences but everything else is amazing. They sound amazing at around the 5:35 part though, for the clean vocals.
Too bad it sounded so shitty live.
Worst opeth show I've ever been too
5:50 to the end is really shattered my heart, Mikael vocals is so damn beautiful.
No doubt
Same here! Once he starts with "Run away" And when he sings " That day came to an end. And she had lost in me, her credence" I always start crying
It would not be an Opeth dvd if a tech guy didn't come one stage xDDD
Opeth Jay you should revisit the Lotus Eater from roundhouse tape
the Lotus Eater incident happened at Royal Albert Hall event, not roundhouse.
Mais um BR com ótimo gosto jsjs

Axe is such a solid drummer.. they recruit some amazing talent
He's fantastic! His performance on Heritage was absolutely stellar.
They mostly recruit people called Martin.
Only the best for the best
Um he's slightly off time & misses a lot of the shit Martin would do 🤷🏻♀️
Not the drummer Lopez was.

Yes! It is confirmed that Opeth are the number one musical act of our current era
"But dream theater they're so amazing, such great music"
- some idiot taking your comment as a dig at their favorite bands.
dt is more like talented musicians showing off rather than layered and enjoyable music which I think is the point
It’s a tie between them and Gojira for me. Both are unstoppable forces in modern metal

Ikr. Way better than the old 90s dwath metal mix. Esp with those pickups
I actually prefer the older mix much more. But it works out pretty well like this as well
I actually can't listen to older recordings because of the mix.. it's too agressive and pointy... This is just absurdly well mixed.

@@LeonHaselbach or at least that's what they want us to think
@@zamkowicz The sad truth is that the band was called Opeth before Mike even joined it!
I like to think of it as "opera of death=opeth" cuz their music is a perfect mix of operatic and death metal elements.
Seeing how they handled a live mistake in this situation speaks volumes and makes the performance even better.
This song has such an inescapable groove. It’s one of opeths grooviest songs. The grooviest will always be blackwater Park but damn when the main riff with the octaves kicks in it’s like a descent into hell.
