As somebody who is old enough to have seen Black Sabbath as a teen in 1972, Opeth are the first band that I became to appreciate growl/harsh vocals. This transition in broadening my music tastes occurred via the Deliverance/Damnation albums. They drew me in with the prog and then hit me in the head with the heavy stuff. Love this band, so unique.
This is the first tune I heard by Opeth. I picked up Ghost Reveries because of Steven Wilson's involvement (I'm a huge Porcupine Tree fan), put it on and it blew my mind. Opened my ears to hearing the harsh vocals. We're of similar age, you and I; my tastes run from folk through bluegrass, jazz and on to hard rock, but Opeth was a revelation.
@@underwoodvoice9077 Steven Wilson weren't involved in Ghost Reveries, but on the earlier mentioned Damnation/Deliverance albums. Great song and album never the less!
@@kalas-kurt Yeah, thanks for the correction, I misspoke there. I heard about Wilson's involvement with the band, and Ghost Reveries was the current album at the time. And a great song and album indeed!
I was actually at this concert. The natural acoustics of Red Rocks is pretty amazing. Hats off to Opeth’s audio engineer, he made sure it sounded damn good through the whole amphitheater
Ok, after reading your first 5 words, I'm ravaged with jealousy! But I've seen them couple times, again riveting performances. Åkerfeld is an extraordinary (holy shit) talent! No doubt as well, quite possessed 👀. 🦟
@@TobernSavage I actually don’t live there, I flew out of state for a Colorado trip with my bros. The concert was the excuse to go out there 😎 beautiful city Denver. Loved the Denver Biscuit and Little Man Ice Cream
Best band ever period. No one can match their musicality, riffs, stage presence, live sound, songwriting. Never heard anything like it, and I've listened to just about everything.
No one can listen to this and think it's not a masterpiece, unless they can't hear the layers of incredible sound and precision without being overly technical creating such an organic mixture of so many elements.
@@aaronramirez9147 what do you mean? Those growls??? He's actually pulling those off. Like it's possible to do healthily. He's using his vestibular folds and a lot of breath control to make that distorted growling sound.
I think it's the best Opeth Live so far. Beyond the setlist or what Mikael does not yet reach the depth in the growls, as before, the execution in the voices is impeccable, as well as the mix of the sound, it is incredible. In addition the second voices that Joakim does give much more brilliance to the album.
He's getting there. Noticed recently that the live growls are becoming a lot more sinister again and I would love to see him doing it on the next album. Not often, that's not the direction they are going, but definitely sometimes.
Just gived Opeth a deep dive in, wow man, i was missing so much! But on the other hand now i have their whole opus to enjoy and discover, what a band, i'm stunned.
My first time hearing about Opeth was at a Mastadon show. Opeth opened for Mastadon. I was completely blown away and ashamed that I had never heard about them or listened to their music. Ghost of Perdition was the song that brought me back after the show. My brain just couldn’t let that experience slide and I had to hear it again.
I listen to thrash and a lot of instrumentalist like Steve Vai David T. Chastain, then sometimes you just gotta put on Opeth and remind yourself these guys are on another level.
I was a tattooist- I quit that job many years ago... But tattooing that letter O of the Opeth logo was a great experience itself... I did 2 or 3 of them+ couple of smaller and simplier versions for a young couple for their engagement🙂 It has been a long time, but this particular subject coming to my career as a tattooist is giving me deep and priceless memories🔝
I remember how much people hated this album when it came out in 2005. All because they had a video on MTV/VH1 and how it wasn't Blackwater Park and it wasn't Deliverance. Its been a masterpiece since day 1, still my favorite to this day.
This sounds so incredible!! Huge fan of the original studio recording, but the mixing on this and videography makes this really special. And the lighting design is gorgeous.
Impresionante! En este concierto todas las voces son absolutamente impecables. Puede que Mikael ya no alcance la profundidad de los growls de antes, pero el trabajo acá es genial! Además la segunda voz que hace Svalberg en todo el concierto es clave.
I don't care what genre of music you listen to. You can't not appreciate this. I've been playing guitar for over 30 years and this sh*t is fkn amazing.
so glad to her Mikael growling again. he has definitely improved, sounds much cleaner and less strained. anyone saying the growls are getting worse, well, i'm not sure what your comparing it to.
The more tone shifting on the instruments, the more Mikael takes his voice from clean to headbanger type instantly 😱 Not only the best of Opeth but one of the best LIVE METAL performance♥️🤘🏼😍👊🏼
Ghost Reveries is the masterpiece of all Opeth records. Go to Beneath the Mire and take it all in BUT...wait until 5:46 seconds hits and that is one of dozens of moments that make this record the top of all Opeth records.
FREAKING BEAUTIFUL! I was watching the live stream from wacken a few hours ago and Mikael said there was an announcement, but the transmission ended 😂 I don't know if this was that big announcement but anyway... Today has been OPETH day all day 😂❤❤ Hope to see you live soon!!!!
@@Deathslinger666 This is false That's why growls and screams are different words and have different definitions. edit: You can have a growl become a scream, and a scream become a growl, but they are not the same thing.

The fucking drumming...amazing.
seriously haha
Absolutely agreed
Wenches and mead...
Wait, that's for Alestorm.
So right, sounds soooo good!
Production/mixing team deserve a medal.
This.
On par with some of the best I've ever seen!
i agree.
That was the first thing I thought of when I heard this rendition. SO CRISP AND CLEAN. Wow.
For real... One of the best sounding live recordings I've ever heard.
Incredible.
Ghost of perfection
Perfection indeed. 🔥

That growl is incredible
Opeth and Gojira,this Europian Bands,are the new Standard in this genre🥰
Best band ever period. No one can match their musicality, riffs, stage presence, live sound, songwriting. Never heard anything like it, and I've listened to just about everything.
If Pink Floyd for example were a Metal band, they would be OPETH it's as simple as that 🎶✅️🤟
@@AndreLuis-oo6bf Rush is another. Opeth is among the best, saw them 3 times in the metal era.
TOOL.
@@AndreLuis-oo6bf True dat.
@vfbler1993 I love Tool don't get me wrong, but they don't play any acoustic sections.
Still can't believ I was ACTUALLY at this show!
Most people can only appreciate just how unique of an experience something like this is in hindsight. How about you? Was it as good in the moment?
You buy a ticket and show up. Not that hard
One of the best live performances I've ever seen.
1:19 : Tool - The Grudge

@@Kuemmel234 May you be happy with the new song of today
I think if the totality of Opeth had to be summed up in one song across their entire catalog, this would be it. This song is so fucking good.
Low key Opeth anthem. All the ups and downs and Uppps that Operh can deliver 4:40

Why I just discover this just NOW? 😳 What a Band!
5:11 OMG What a powerful symphony!
this video is a spiritual experience
Akerfeldt at his very best. What an incredible performance by the whole band.
I listen to this every single day about 1-3 times. Cant help but just smile everytime, such a masterpiece...

A metal recording where you can hear the bass - amazing
Clearly one of the greatest songs ever written.
This song is so well paced I didn't realise it was 10 mins, absolute 🔥
Haven't listened to Opeth in a while now! Brings back so many memories of times when life was less distasteful.
This is THE top of metal music!!
Dad why is my sister named Rose?
Because your mom loves Roses.
Thanks Dad. No problem OPETH - Ghost of Perdition (Official Live Video)
Mellotron = GOAT of keyboards
3:05
Chills from head to toe

I hope Ghost of Perdition means as much to them as it does to us.

4:06 OMG that guitar sounds perfect right there!
I will eternally miss the presence of Martin Axenrot in Opeth: incredible drummer, heavy as possible, but he swings like a traditional jazzman.
The only reason I listen to Opeth is his drumming. Incredible. So now I listen to Bloodbath
Best metal band that on live sounds like the record. What a joy 🤘. Watching this realizing I'm wearing their t-shirt.
sometimes even better than the records, which I believe makes them even better.

This song gives me a trance, even in 2024!
That drumming is so fucking good. And the bass.
"Garden of the Titans" couldn't be more fitting. Outstanding performance, and production! What a treat
It’s actually better than the album! Amazing!
so glad to her Mikael growling again. he has definitely improved, sounds much cleaner and less strained. anyone saying the growls are getting worse, well, i'm not sure what your comparing it to.
his old growls. basically before like 2014-ish. that's what we're comparing it to.
No more:(
I want to see an opteh show in that place!
Beautiful and perfect
Ghost reveries ... Best album of the band :-)
this is not just a song.. like carlo domeniconi's koyunbaba, a piece of art.
Hot take opeth don't have 2 bad song. Perfect discography
I mean, doesn't get any better than this.. unbelievable performance 👏
The more tone shifting on the instruments, the more Mikael takes his voice from clean to headbanger type instantly 😱
Not only the best of Opeth but one of the best LIVE METAL performance♥️🤘🏼😍👊🏼
Hardly their best. If anything, I would consider Ghost Reveries more their "Black Album."
But insane performance nonetheless.
@@BLUMPKING69 comparing metallica to opeth is a lol moment my friend.
Don't forget Deadhead by Devin Townsend, th-cam.com/video/DrDM6V08wcE/w-d-xo.html
Their technicality and sound live is unreal.
Damn dude, Mikael's guturals looking sharp as they ever will be

Isso aqui é a genialidade da forma mais pura possível. Não existe nada nesse universo mais absurdo, Opeth atingiu um nível jamais existente. Gênios.
8:25 A Touch of Absolutely Killer Heavy Metal Vibrato Arm here!
such a beautiful beast
I love how this song influenced me when I first heard it on Sirius Hard Attack back in 2003-4ish! It changed how I thought about writing music!
Simplesmente a melhor banda de Metal/Rock dos últimos 20 anos no mínimo. Vida longa
Did anyone hear "I love you Michael!" at the beginning? 😅
Yess and micheal show his hands up
I don’t see what went wrong...Mikael should be president of the world by now... that was your mission....
Was at this show it was dope! Hevy Devy and Gojira killed it too.

Listened to theirolder albums while reading Dean Koontz novel..result - nightmare!!!
