Hell yeah I saw Opeth at Donnington Park. They were absolutly fuckin awesome, this was the third time I have seen them.
I was totally expectin them to play the set they did but "To Rid the Disease" was a huge surprise. They were totally awesome and all the people in the crowd around me who had never even heard of them were totally loving it. It was a fantastic set. My older brother spotted Mikeal Akerfeldt walking around the festival and got to meet him. I spent hours looking for him, no luck lol.
Opeth rule!

What was the set list please?

 

[threak]

Set list was:

The Drapery Falls
To Rid The Disease
Deliverance
Demon Of The Fall


Like that dude said,it was fucking excellent.Special credit has to go out to Per Wiberg for adding some new dimensions(Spiritual Beggars style) on the keyboards to all of the songs.

[Detric]

I would never forgive myself if I had the chance to see them but missed them...

I'd like to hear a few slightly more detailed reviews on it to see what I missed out on, as I really wanted to go, but couldnt as my money went to Reading piece of shit festival >_<

i am thrilled to hear per viberg keyboards on regular (non damnation) opeth songs...

 

[suislidE]

I hate drapery falls... they play it so much ive just got to the point where i will not listen to it anymore. There are much better songs to play in my opinion, but thats the "poof song" that everyone seems to like.

 

[ucsbdude]

Poof song?......

 

[PlatypusJesus]

Poof? Like the sound someone makes when they disappear?

 

[atrocity]

mike calls it poof song on lamentations dvd..

 

[Detric]

WTF is puff? I still think Drapery is a great song.
