April Ethereal live

[Blackhorse_Experience]

For those of you who have seen April Ethereal performed live, or heard a bootleg of it, did the section at around 6:00-6:45 bother you? That's the time from the album version. It's played with guitars on the album but Per plays this weird organ sound instead live. I'm not that musical of a person, but on the album it sounds like Mikael is playing one part and Peter is playing another. Was there a need to play that part with the keyboard? Personally, thats like my favorite part of the song and I just HATE that part live. Its just weird and kind of ruins it...

I thought it was heavier and more evil. No complaints from me.

The album has two separate guitar parts during this section.

On the last tour, another part with octave chords was added, which is what you are hearing/seeing Peter playing. Per is playing the part on the album, but it's with keys, so it sounds a wee different. Awhile back, I recreated this section with Peter's new part added, let me find it and post it...

That was a really good cover, but thats not the part he was referring to was it. 6.00 is the e note riff with what sounds like octave chords over the tope, and martins awesome drumming.

Ooops!

Well, in that case, there is also two separate guitar parts, and on the album they are split up. Live, Mike and Peter are doubling while Per does the guitar part (octave chords) on the keys. Sounds fine to me.

 

[Arnold Layne]

You should cover that part aswell, I would record it but have no mike to do so with, that riff is really fun to play.

I agree with you blackhorse, the keyboards ruin it.

 

[JoeVice]

yah, i remember them doing that when i saw them, and i didn't like it...especially since the keyboards were way to quite for that part.

 

[Xi-luth]

When Opeth played in here, Per just played on a few damnation songs, not on April Ethereal and such. So, most of the time he waited behind the curtains.

 

[Ermz]

I dunno man, I think Per's insane moshing made up for any audible shortcomings.

 

[Feicht]

when i saw them play it live Per wasn't with them, so i couldn't tell ya

[Scourge of Malice]

i was very dissapointed by it live.... the keys sounded week compared to what guitar sounds like... i definitely did not rock out as much as I was hoping... I was sooo happpy to see that song played live too
