Tell me this is not the ultimate peak of Opeth. I've never EVER heard growls that good, this night Mikael sounded like Satan on steroids. The last minutes of BWP for fuck sake... 1:28:40 is destruction. The line "Caught in unbridled suspense" of BWP defines what being here was like.
Yes an amazing gig! I'm just dumbfounded by the amount of talking instead of LISTENING to the actual music. I saw Opeth in Feb 2020 in NYC and sadly it wasn't much better. Ill never get that...pay to see this amazing band but talk through it?
I started reading comments after watching Deliverance thinking the setlist was over then lost my shit when BWP started playing. soooooooo jealous of anyone who saw this setlist that night
I'd TOTALLY sacrifice 1 year of lifespan to witness a 3 hours Opeth live when Mike was at his best I don't only speak about the insanely perfect growls, but also about the intensity and his stage presence. This dude looks like your average middle age guy but was a fucking demon on stage. (Also, the setlist is great)
Back in the day the band was having a great time live. Now you don't see them this engaged into the performance anymore. It became what both Mike and Peter hated the most: a job.
It's Per Wiberg: He was playing the piano parts and did background vocals at this time for Opeth. You can see and hear him on the first Opeth Live-DVD, too. He joined Opeth later officially as keyboarder for "Ghost Reveries" but left with "Heritage". Great guy!
I was wondering why the new drummer does not play as mendez did The Moor, it was very disappoint see when they came to chile at 2015 and played this song.
What a great setlist, so bad the never came to south america by that time. The golden lineup on a very creative period. Righ now even when they play the old stuff, it sounds like space distortion guitar instead of metal. 😒
This is like the only footage of To Bid You Farewell live and all you can hear are Australians yapping on about dingoes or whatever
Why
I guess that's why they don't play it.. they think it bores the crowd
What about roos and huntsman
The best setlist ever, I wish they would play To Bid You Farewell again.

This is truly a hidden treasure for us Opethians, thanks you SO much for the upload!

They didn't know what they were missing! The ferocity of those growls are forever gone.
holy shit that setlist....April Ethereal?! for real?! I'd kill to see that live
they actually played it when i saw them in 2014... :P
I was at this very gig 🤘🏻
Shepherd's Chapel Network !!!!!!! Pastor Murray is an Anointed Servant of GOD who teaches the Word of GOD with Authority!!!!!!!
April Ethereal, To Bid you farewell and demon of the fall, what a candlelight era combo.
Deliverance and bwp back to back? I dont think i could handle that
Not only Deliverance and BWP, that's April Ethereal, Deliverance, bwp AND Demon Of The Fall in a row.
Make a more brutal 4-songs setlist than that.
I dont know how Lopez got through that. The double bass runs alone would kill me, nevermind the 10-13 minute runtime of each.
LOOK AT THAT SETLISTTTTTTTTTT GOOODDDDDD

lutman70 the most epic of epic songs
This video is the best hidden gem that was ever a hidden gem...truly amazing, thanks for the upload!
As of oktober 2014 they haven't played To Bid You Farewell since this concert. Sad, it's a great song.
October 2019: still nothing.
aaaaaand nothing.
almost october 2021....
Jan 2025, still havent
and that’s how fast deliverance should be played
Great video of lopez, as a drummer i can say hes one of the best metal drummers, sad to see him go
28:50 that headbang!!

That To Bid You FareWell
April Ethereal! yeah
Saw this concert 16 years ago, one of the best i've ever seen
To Bid You Farewell looks so amazing live omg! never thought I'd find a video of them playing that!
Perfect Opeth line-up. Bring it back.
Damn that's an awesome concert
What a fucking great setlist!
To Bid You Farewell y la gente no se calla que impotencia ver el video y escuchar sus conversaciones :(
This is like the best thing i ever.
50:50 adding piano and obviously improved drumming sounds even more amazing!
Been up for 7 years now, no downvotes.
(in before the jinx)
thank you very much! This is Opeth at their best!
I like how young Opeth play the songs faster
Incredible presentation.
Sounds like Lopez was still behind the drums…great find! Those two fills around 51:00 were tasty.
My favorite song Drapery Falls. Opeth come to Brazil to Sorceress Tour please!
1:28:41 - 1:29:05. Oh my fuckin gosh
That transition from brutal/hard to beautiful/ethereal at 20:14 is so perfectly done.
So dope
At the Corner Hotel in Richmond. I was there for their second gig the next night. \m/\m/
Thank you for this upload
Enjoyed this video! All the best!!
22:49 Peter hugged Mikael
28:51
good old days :)
That setlist...
April Ethereal
Deliverance
Blackwater Park
Demon of the fall
Is that heaven?
Don't forget The Moor.
44:52 👋 🖤
1:06:50 the lights fucking with the video here made this part look so sick! (epilepsy warning probably)
What riff did he play at 1:05:40?
Nevermind it's Deep Purple - Knocking At Your Back Door
anybody knows what music is that at the beginning of the video ?
Through Pain to Heaven by Popol Vuh
@@aaronschwietz7316 I think the music even before that.....
nice footage! who the hell sings the vocal harmonies @ 1:13:55 ??
It's Per Wiberg: He was playing the piano parts and did background vocals at this time for Opeth. You can see and hear him on the first Opeth Live-DVD, too. He joined Opeth later officially as keyboarder for "Ghost Reveries" but left with "Heritage". Great guy!

Axe can't play Deliverance well either. He's a great drummer, but no LOPEZ.
Good performance but why the people are talking all the fucking concert?
So many Opeth shows are like this, including the show I went to
Mythical homepage pull
Mikael moshed the shit out of his head back then
Lopez...
What a great setlist, so bad the never came to south america by that time. The golden lineup on a very creative period. Righ now even when they play the old stuff, it sounds like space distortion guitar instead of metal. 😒
These guys are not worthy fans of Opeth.
I am not a hater, but Martin Mendez bass is kinda bad at To bid you farwell...
That song was originally played with a fretless. Maybe thats why?
4:30 It cuts out right before my favourite Lopez fill. ):
