Eh... they're just young idiots who caught Opeth at a different time of their career. I saw these guys back in 04 when they were putting out Deliverance and Damnation (about seven times total, I've seen Opeth live) and they had quite a nice setlist each time with individual good songs. The other thing that you guys should know is that THIS setlist was during a festival. Opeth has to take whatever songs off their ten or so record catalog and squeeze it all into less than an hour of live set time. So... whereas I've seen them seven times, FIVE of those times were headlining shows. When headlining, Opeth usually will do at least two hours of setlist stuff. Even when they did their clean live set back in '11, they still have a very diverse list of clean songs that they did, spanning most or all of their albums. I think I just got lucky to catch a band at their prime. If you're under 30 and complain about Opeth not being so death metal, then you should probably find a new favorite band.
Nothing to add! Opeth = Opeth which is equal to Opeth = Death Metal. Who calls himself fan must accept that bands need freedom in creativity. I follow Opeth as I love the band. No matter which direction they will go!
i've seen them not very long time ago in a show like 5 monthes i think they the growling were really good. i might also add that this is rock em ring and no one come to this show for opeth. usually for the main ones which are i guess metallica and idk the known one so opeth didnt take this show seriously i guess. but i do think mikal or michael not sure how to write his name. should consider working on his growling again. it might have something to do with steven too.
fafafak6 Well, that makes sense. But I think porcupine tree is a great prog rock band. And Mikael has always had a great infatuation with progressive rock anyway. I think it would have turned out similarly without Steven.
Girl with the yellow hat: 24:05 "ooh yeah, Welcome to the Jungle!" 24:25 "well, that's a rare version of Welcome to the Jungle, but I love GnR so I will dance anyway!" hahahahahah
Everyone is moaning about his loss of growls, but no one notice how his clean vocals have improved throught the years. When you compare cleans for Still Life or My Arms to something from Storm Corrosion or Heritage there is enormous diffrence. I also miss a bit this dreary atmosphere of older albums, but new stuff is also great piece of music.
Ryan O'Toole There are actually five songs and two of them are the names of two past albums. Their songs are quite long so four songs realize a fifty minute show ;)
+Ryan O'Toole Sadly, this festivals are like that. About 1 hour per band. But well, you can see a lot of other band, and hunt for Opeth's (or any band) solo concerts.
+ofenblase ich mag die auch... krautrock, death metal, haarsträubende ansagenXD vor allem können die ihre musik auch live genauso umsetzen (dann muss man ja nch das glück haben, dass der sound-mensch die richtigen knöpfe dreht beim konzert...) egal, OPETH sind und bleiben über den dingen wie's scheint.
What is with all of the "My god Opeth sucks now! What happened to Mikael's growling!?" comments. Opeth have always evolved. If bands don't evolve and change their sound over the time it becomes stale, shitty, and forgotten. Their ability to progress and explore different ideas while maintaining that melancholy vibe they have always had is why we are still talking about them. Bands like Ulver/Samael/Emperor all get the same wrap when they do something new that doesn't sound exactly like the old. Open your minds and challenge yourselves a bit.
There, someone who understands :) I hate it when people say this : ' If opeth changes so much they should make a different band and not continue under the name Opeth' The fuck? They are still the same band, but they grow, and i am glad that they dare to grow :) i will always be a fan.
What's with the "I will swallow everything they release"-attitude of yours? If you are surprised by the fan reaction after the last two albums you better stop being so stupid. See, I like Prog Rock. And l like Opeth, but I want them to do METAL, because that's what I liked about the band: The blend of heavy music with acoustic and jazzy stuff, the dynamics and diversity. They totally lost it with Heritage... well at least the new one isn't half-assed.
I love Opeth. I grew up with 60's as 70's progressive rock (my late father was born in 1950 and had good taste) and starting 5th grade I started listening to death metal. Honestly, whatever direction Opeth goes in, its really just great. I'm not sure if most people realize this, but Opeth's biggest accomplishment is that they manage to do progressive rock without the nonsense improv and failed experiment bullshit (believe me there is some weird shit that just did not work). They make almost 100% quality shit, and I think people should just appreciate that above all else despite if they have death growls or not.
Aside from the death growls not being as powerful as they used to, I think the preformance was extremely tight and outstanding. Opeth always puts on a greaaaat live show.
d3tach3d You are absolutely correct. Growling is basically abusing your vocal folds. Growling absolutely damages the folds and will make it harder the longer you do it. He has such a beautiful voice when not growling that he shouldn't continue force growling.
d3tach3d Just saw them live at Brisbane (Australia) last night. Happy to report that Mikael was in full form, sounded great on both the cleans and the growls. Shame about all the amplifier breakdowns! ****ing Marshalls!
People need to learn to keep their opinions to themselves. Sick of reading all the disrespectful comments on every Opeth video I watch that concerns their current musical direction. If you think it sucks so much, keep your shitty fucking comments to yourself and fuck off. Because literally no one, including Mikael gives a fuck if you think their new music sucks, or that his voice isn't good anymore. People are entitled to their own opinions, so its perfectly fine if you don't dig Opeth's new stuff... But that doesn't mean you have to come on here and completely slag Mike off, especially if you once considered yourself a fan... I personally have enjoyed every Opeth release, and I am anxiously awaiting the new one! I'm not trying to be an ass with this comment, just saying that people that were probably once Opeth fans should show Mikael and the others some respect and leave their hateful comments to themselves.
Come on. You obviously don't think that people need to keep their opinions to themselves because if you did you wouldn't have posted a comment on this video. Why don't you keep your "shitty fucking comments to yourself and fuck off"? Because you don't want to and you don't have to. This is a good thing.
Mikeoneus Good point. I can accept that. I just get pissed when 'Opeth' fans constantly slag Mikael off. If you don't like his new direction that's completely fine, I just don't like it when I see disrespectful comments toward Mikael. Everyones allowed an opinion, but it doesn't have to be disrespectful.
His voice isn't THAT bad. Not nearly as bad as a lot of you are making it out to be. It could be much worse. Mikael says that his growling technique deteriorated his voice, and that's why he sings on the new Opeth records. At least after hearing what it sounds like it makes more sense as to why he stopped growling.
I think a lot of singers eventually run out of steam doing vocal fry after a while... Also I think Akerfeld had some issue about in-ear monitors, too and wanted to go back to using earplugs... don't know if he did or not
@@jaketaz2848 devin townsend has gone on record saying that he basically screamed until he tastes blood, then afterwards a callus forms and that's how he survives a tour. so yeah, vocal chords of steel
I love the way I can enjoy all eras of there career. I got there first album as a young lad and loved that epic style. Love them even more now, and man if I could sing clean vocals as well as him, no fucking wonder they do that more now.............as the man can sing for shit. Still as EPIC as ever, and still bloody brilliant live.
I think Akerfeldt's growl is objectively not what it used to be, but that doesn't diminish the great instrumental performances or the songs themselves. And the Opeth discography is gem after gem.
I've watched other live videos from 2014 and his growls are much better than a couple of years ago (and especially this video). Maybe he was just off this day.
Opeth music it's beyond than brilliant, no fucking matter if they are heavy or not so much. Any of their compositions are pieces of art that any could appreciate at any time. I hope that the people that complains about this video upload one as an answer to this with better own songs and performance. We'll see...
Wow! I really enjoyed that...thank you to all who made possible me watching that this morning. I needed a little boost and my soul feels fresh and clean after seeing that show. While I have seen some incredible Opeth shows, and this one may not have been the greatest, this band always brings it. I read some of the negative comments and they amuse me. I am very much looking forward to Pale Communion, and I hope for a day soon when I can be honored by the presence of these great men. To see many of my German brothers and sisters enjoying this experience makes me happy. Good day to you all.
Mikael's growls sounds like an old possessed evil priest holding a sermon. It's definitely different, more talkative, and not even close to what he used to muster in terms of power, but it's still pretty interesting. I like it, somehow. But I suspect him not practicing it, or focusing on it, anymore will result in it degrading even more. Then again, I have no problem with clean Opeth. I loved Heritage.
Really happy they went back to the Deliverance/Damnation sounds. Event though I actually like some of the pure death metal tracks and albums, always thought it was a shame that they weren't living up to their potencial, since Damnation is a true masterpiece. I've been hoping for a new change in Opeth for a while. I'm truly happy with Heritage, even though it is no Damnation. But then again, Damnation is indeed a masterpiece in progressive composition. I really like where this is going. And I honestly prefer Mikael's clean vocals. He has a beautifully haunting voice, that absolutely fuses with the mystic behind Opeth's genre. I support this change. Looking forward to hear more from their upcoming album. This was the first time I caught Opeth live. They actually played one of my favorite songs from Damnation and my uttermost favorite song from Heritage. Even got to hear Deliverance ! Hope to see them again.
Being a deathmetal vocalist myself i can say that live growling and clean vocals bite each other sometimes. Sometimes my clean vocals are good, the growls bad and visa versa. And when i have a good day, both are great. On this concert Mikael's growls are not great, but at least he is still doing them in the songs where they are used and Opeth is still playing those songs!
When you consider how Mikael's been stretching his vocals from the most brutal to clean for 20 years, I don't find it suprising that his voice is getting tired. But the previous albums remain masterpieces, and may still be enjoyed for many years. And just because the style is becoming less heavy, it's still great craftsmenship at the core. And Mikael is Opeth. Has always been to me. Great music comes from developing and moving in different directions, not settling. Opeth hasn't lost it for me. The core is still there, it's just the layers on top which are changing.
to me, mikael seemed more into the heavier songs than he has in ages! its just his growl cant keep up anymore. 20 years of screaming and growling will do that to the best vocalists. lets be thankful of what we still got from mikael! kickass songwriting and amazing clean vocals
I love his death vocals. They have a unique quality to them, and they seem to come natural. Awesome setlist, I hope I get a chance to see them play live some time. Please come to Maine!
Thanks, Hannover Possey ;-) Godlike gig though the croud is kinda pour! Best-of playlist. Best band ever! No one does that crossover between Metal and Hip Hop like they do! Danke fürs Hochladen!
My number 1 band always !!! So many years and so many great concerts.. what's with the negative comments ?? Try it and see what you can do or shut up....
Love the set up !! Shows most sides of the Greatness THat is Opeth . The fact that they "Play from the Heart" inn genre mixing , Makes Opeth prog/balade/funk - surprisemetal Kings!
I like the fact that Opeth has evolved. If you want the same sound from a band year after year, then stick with Slayer. They have been playing the same riffs since the 80s.
He got older and if you listen to the past few records the death metal vocals have disappeared which is a good thing i say (not saying i dont like them it just was over done a tad) He changed the musical direction to more prog rock than death metal
Hayden Fletcher Well, indeed, he is growing older, but I think is too bad for us fans that really love his heavy voice. However, I do like a lot the progressive turn of the band. I'm waiting for the new album, it will be amazing.
in all fairness they sound a touch better than when they really started turning to shit, around 2010/2011. but yes it really is a shame. his growls used to be some of the most demonic ever in the dm field
Since using in ear monitors he's been no where near as good! Some think he may have put more into his screams to hear himself clearer when he used normal floor monitors hence why they may have sounded better! But who knows!
Trolls are hilarious on here. You say they sold out on Heritage album?? It's the most uncommercial album, uncommercial music, unpopular genre, progressive rock etc. Selling out? How the hell is Heritage selling out? And when did all of these rules start happening that you can't do this or that. Also, have any of you screamed about ten shows before having to scream through a festival? Do you think your voices are going to be top notch Morningrise material? Folks Crack me up. Actually this performance looks and sounds pretty good to me, the enthusiasm everyone is talking about, looks like it gets lost because it freaking looks like he is boiling hot.

-yes
-ok then

Now the same "death metal" people who wants the old Opeth back says that a setlist with Deliverance and Blackwater Park is a bad setlist. Just wow.

5 Songs in 50 minutes, that's why I love Opeth :D

+Leterrier Nino @23:30
+Christian Abbott Thanks !
Aside from the death growls not being as powerful as they used to, I think the preformance was extremely tight and outstanding. Opeth always puts on a greaaaat live show.
I consider the outro for Deliverance one of the best things I've ever heard in the whole Melodic Death Metal realm.
it's progressive dm not melodic.
With or without grunts opeth kicks asses!!!!!!!
Amazing set! Tons of talent in this band and really cool cats. ~Jeff Becerra/Possessed~
1. The Devils Orchard
2. Heir Apparent
3. Hope Leaves
4. Deliverance
5. Blackwater Park
what a crap setlist :/ - not feeling confident about seeing them @ Getaway in August... no The Moor or Ghost of Perdition = disappointment
Still love this band- nothing will ever change that!
His vocals have been taking a beating over the past 15+ years of doing opeth and bloodbath. You do it for that long and see how it turns out for you.
d3tach3d They do sound very impressive here considering how hard he works and how other people (cough motley crue) react to the same kind of stress
d3tach3d You are absolutely correct. Growling is basically abusing your vocal folds. Growling absolutely damages the folds and will make it harder the longer you do it. He has such a beautiful voice when not growling that he shouldn't continue force growling.
d3tach3d His vocals are top notch again nowadays! Check out the latest live clips of the song April Ethereal for example.
d3tach3d Just saw them live at Brisbane (Australia) last night. Happy to report that Mikael was in full form, sounded great on both the cleans and the growls. Shame about all the amplifier breakdowns! ****ing Marshalls!
TFIFH That was so good to hear live - and the inclusion of "Advent" made this old coot very happy.
40:35 = priceless
Just found out about this band and I'm blown away. Very few bands sound this good live
I really liked Fredrik's random improvisation on Hope Leaves!
Danke fürs komplette hochladen, die letzte viertel Stunde hatten sie in der TV Übertragung nicht gezeigt.
That band is simply amazing.
I almost cry while watching this :')
What a wonderful performance, hope to see these guys play at Download on Friday the 13th!!!! :)

Love them even more now, and man if I could sing clean vocals as well as him, no fucking wonder they do that more now.............as the man can sing for shit. Still as EPIC as ever, and still bloody brilliant live.
I love that they display as much clinical musicianship at the end of Deliverance as they do on the album. That shit is hard to time up.
One of the better sounding live shows I have heard from Opeth, Deliverance is especially strong.
Deliverance and Blackwater Park , two of the best composition in music. Great show,
Wait, is that Martin Mendez?
His hair! His beautiful hair!
Rest in pepperoni Mendez' hair you will be missed.
I think Akerfeldt's growl is objectively not what it used to be, but that doesn't diminish the great instrumental performances or the songs themselves. And the Opeth discography is gem after gem.

Unbelievable how tight they're live!
The guy at the front in the Death shirt is true music fan. He embodies what its all about.
Almost didn't recognize Mendez with that haircut!
Mikael's growls sounds like an old possessed evil priest holding a sermon. It's definitely different, more talkative, and not even close to what he used to muster in terms of power, but it's still pretty interesting. I like it, somehow. But I suspect him not practicing it, or focusing on it, anymore will result in it degrading even more. Then again, I have no problem with clean Opeth. I loved Heritage.
He got serious problem on RECURRENT LARYNGEAL NERVE. As a doctor I think this person still singing is a blessing.
Everyone keeps commenting on his voice. I actually think it sounds more unique now. I like it.
Really happy they went back to the Deliverance/Damnation sounds. Event though I actually like some of the pure death metal tracks and albums, always thought it was a shame that they weren't living up to their potencial, since Damnation is a true masterpiece. I've been hoping for a new change in Opeth for a while. I'm truly happy with Heritage, even though it is no Damnation. But then again, Damnation is indeed a masterpiece in progressive composition. I really like where this is going. And I honestly prefer Mikael's clean vocals. He has a beautifully haunting voice, that absolutely fuses with the mystic behind Opeth's genre. I support this change.

This was the first time I caught Opeth live. They actually played one of my favorite songs from Damnation and my uttermost favorite song from Heritage. Even got to hear Deliverance ! Hope to see them again.
Being a deathmetal vocalist myself i can say that live growling and clean vocals bite each other sometimes. Sometimes my clean vocals are good, the growls bad and visa versa. And when i have a good day, both are great.

When you consider how Mikael's been stretching his vocals from the most brutal to clean for 20 years, I don't find it suprising that his voice is getting tired. But the previous albums remain masterpieces, and may still be enjoyed for many years. And just because the style is becoming less heavy, it's still great craftsmenship at the core. And Mikael is Opeth. Has always been to me. Great music comes from developing and moving in different directions, not settling. Opeth hasn't lost it for me. The core is still there, it's just the layers on top which are changing.
Wtf youtube? A button for Darude - Sandstorm?!? WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE!
Compendyum Darude - Sandstorm
Ruslan Mikhalev Thanks, bro.
to me, mikael seemed more into the heavier songs than he has in ages! its just his growl cant keep up anymore. 20 years of screaming and growling will do that to the best vocalists. lets be thankful of what we still got from mikael! kickass songwriting and amazing clean vocals

Thank you very much for uploading this, love this band from Orchid to Pale communion alles !
All Hail Mikael!!
Where is the bass. I can´t hear it. There is no bass. What a shame
That's how Martin Mendez's bass always is...way down and almost inaudible in the mix...
Si tan solo hubieras llegado al minuto 5 de la primera canción lo habrías escuchado, y muy bien.
Michael Snyder Heritage has a lot of it :S
Carlos Francisco Gómez prefiero oirlo desde el minuto 1 en el disco
I could hear it alright with headphones on. It's not really about hearing the bass in this particular instance, it's more about feeling it.
Once the king of "uuurrrrggghh!"...
I´m really afraid Opeth will never be a nice band again. What happened to his growling?? Still in love with this band.
awesome ... thx very much ... made my night ......
Awesome, thanks for sharing!
can't wait to see them next time they tour! Pale Communion is going to be AMAZING :D
OPETH....superb as always....just love this band.
Damn happy about the QUALITY SOUND !!
saw them live this saturday and i must say that his growl was superb.
Omg this is just perfect !
Best live performance of Deliverance I have ever heard.
Thanks for sharing!
Danke für den Upload - hab es gestern Abend leider verpasst.
Mikael is a modest, laid back, underrated genius of our age. Opeth are the finest metal band in a generation.
My number 1 band always !!! So many years and so many great concerts.. what's with the negative comments ?? Try it and see what you can do or shut up....
Holy fuck this version of Hope Leaves is better than the original with that solo at the end. WOW
look up the version live at Royal Albert Hall, it's even better
***** i agree!!!
"Fuck you guys, I don't need sunscreen. I'm Mikael fucking Akerfeldt!"
Espectacular!!!!!
these guys are the fucking best hands down.they know how to play.write and arrange.they are incredible.love these guys 6,6,6
Great songs!
Великолепные песни
I'm 39...all time favorite metal band. Come back to St.Louis soon my friends..
Love the set up !! Shows most sides of the Greatness THat is Opeth . The fact that they "Play from the Heart" inn genre mixing , Makes Opeth prog/balade/funk - surprisemetal Kings!
absolutely one of my favourites of opeth.....great band.
Wow, great recording! Thanks for the upload!
I like the fact that Opeth has evolved. If you want the same sound from a band year after year, then stick with Slayer. They have been playing the same riffs since the 80s.
I love this new sound Opeth has been messing with... love when bands evolve and search for a new way to sound.
Versatility is a virtue.
It's nice to see Ax absolutely tearing it up! He usually looks quite reserved when he plays but he totally owned this concert!
Absolutely love it. And dig that they were happy to play some of the more mellow stuff. Hope Leaves sounds beautiful.
Fredrik's solo is fantastic. The studio version sounds empty without it.
Mikeoneus Agree, thought the solo was outstanding! :)
Great audio quality.
November 3rd...Opeth in Milano.
I've got tickets just now. I'm so fuckin' excited... XD
Great Stuff! i love the playlist. Blackwater Park
Seeing them in end of october!!! new album is great!!
holy shit, they perform so nice live.
It was amazing see them in São Paulo this year! \m/
Eu tbm estava la Carla, sou de Recife!
Que legal! Foi inesquecível o show, né? Saudades desse dia!
Just saw them @ Le Bataclan, in Paris. His growling was perfect.
Love Opeth. I like spot those jazz bits in their songs, for example devils orchards as plenty of them
by the way why nobody mentions what a good drummer axenrot is?
I hear ya bro he has that feel in his playing he is very good!

Good set of songs. Can't complain.
What happened to Mikael's heavy voice? OMFG!
He got older and if you listen to the past few records the death metal vocals have disappeared which is a good thing i say (not saying i dont like them it just was over done a tad) He changed the musical direction to more prog rock than death metal
Hayden Fletcher Well, indeed, he is growing older, but I think is too bad for us fans that really love his heavy voice. However, I do like a lot the progressive turn of the band. I'm waiting for the new album, it will be amazing.
in all fairness they sound a touch better than when they really started turning to shit, around 2010/2011. but yes it really is a shame. his growls used to be some of the most demonic ever in the dm field
Since using in ear monitors he's been no where near as good! Some think he may have put more into his screams to hear himself clearer when he used normal floor monitors hence why they may have sounded better! But who knows!
It went on a diet.
Good concert excellent musicians,work of cameraman undisputed.
I really have to get around to seeing them live.
do people saying "watch the roundhouse tapes..." realize that live dvds still get some edition and enhancing here and there on the audio?
OPETH they are Titans of Melo/Heavy /Death/ rock and Metal ...!!!!!!!
Trolls are hilarious on here. You say they sold out on Heritage album?? It's the most uncommercial album, uncommercial music, unpopular genre, progressive rock etc. Selling out? How the hell is Heritage selling out? And when did all of these rules start happening that you can't do this or that. Also, have any of you screamed about ten shows before having to scream through a festival? Do you think your voices are going to be top notch Morningrise material? Folks Crack me up. Actually this performance looks and sounds pretty good to me, the enthusiasm everyone is talking about, looks like it gets lost because it freaking looks like he is boiling hot.
I had no idea that Mikael Åkerfeldt has such an awesome sense of humour :D
This guy rocks
Opeth is the opera of metal.
