My only real complaint is the camera shots are far too brief - the way it kept clipping from one angle to the next eventually got a bit painful on the eyes, and it prevents one from really focusing in on any of the images for any duration. It felt like Peaceville didn't trust us to not get bored...

I'm somewhat amused that Jonas Renkse scribbled his name almost exactly the same on my copy of Brave Murder Day.

"How are you?" (crowd screams) (in the most understated voice possible): "Good." Someone in the crowd: "I want to have your baby!" Mikael: "... ...do you have big tits? [...] Not that I'm sexist or anything." Just after playing Hope Leaves: "Was it total shit? "Was it kind of good? "Was it...

Well, to return to the original topic for a moment, I saw Per doing backup vocals during Bleak when they played in Buffalo, so my guess is he's generally doing those for the other songs?

The Watershed shirts are for this tour, incidentally. (i.e., not just the album)./

Theoretically it might become more valuable than a correctly printed one. If they end up repressing the LP at some point or another, doing it right the next time, etc. But thats perhaps unlikely.

Yeah, but on the plus side, its that much more awesome when Opeth finally takes the stage. Granted, in the same way thats its awesome when someone stops hitting you in the face with a brick, but, still... The best I could say for Nachtmystium was that they only played for 30 minutes at Buffalo.

Actually, wwallinga, I totally agree with you. That said, I suppose I did facilitate that sort of spoiling by posting the setlist in another topic, but it was, after all, at topic specifically about a concert which had just finished. In any event, though, seeing the setlist before going to the...

I imagine it has to be an awkward thing, selecting setlists for these concerts. There's a certain number of songs that the band seems to be more or less expected to play - and keep in mind that there's always going to be a certain number of newcomers at the concert who will go away disappointed...

Well, thats the case with some lyricists/poets, but there's just as many that spend quite a bit of time agonizing over perfecting the initial draft. Not knowing much about Mikael's writing habits, I can't really say for certain, but give the depth, complexity and subtlety of most of his lyrics...

Someone has already Youtubed a clip of Bleak from this performance.

I think that High on Fire finished sometime in the vicinity of 9:30, and then the tech guys took some time fiddling with the setup, but my best guess is no later than 10.

Haha, spoke too soon Eugenics. (Um, I was literally composing my concert post as you posted yours.) :P

Oh holy crap was that an awesome show. It didn't actually get out until quarter to midnight - I think Opeth must have been on the stage for close to two hours, but I'm not quite sure, having not checked my watch when they come on... for obvious reasons. Nachtmystium struck me as mediocre - sort...

Its quite illegal - copyright violation and all. But most people suppose (accurately, usually) that the chance of actually being prosecuted for it is slim to none.
