I just want to point out what a horrible job the sound guys are doing/have done with the opeth gigs. You'd think after traveling all that way and putting so much time and effort into the gigs that they'd find some sound guys to do a half-ass job, but from what I'm reading and from what I saw they totally suck! Opeth did a great show in Toronto (the second time around, the first one bit big-time, an embarassment) but still, it's pretty bad when the freakin *audience* has to tell them to turn up the guitar. Give me a break. When opeth first started playing you could hardly hear the guitars at all, then Mikael got some volume when he asked for more guitar in his monitor. I was close to the stage so I don't even know if they did turn up his guitar or if I was just getting it from the monitor, how sad, but at least he was there, still not loud enough, but you could make it out. Eventually someone with a loud voice told peter to turn up his guitar like half way through the gig and then the sound was ok, still not great but it was listenable at least. At least you could hear the vocals fine, unlike the gig in Jersey (how completely stupid are they?). As opeth's set continued the sound guy(s) was/were messing with the settings so that by the end of the set *everything* was much louder and it was starting to sound very crappy and distorted. By the time the got to the last song, Demon of the Fall, the sound sucked worse than when they started and I as hard as I tried to hear it it just sounded like distorted noise. I realize live sound is a tricky thing but come on guys, it's not rocket science, find something that works and stick with it. It was still a great show, but it's a shame parts of it were tainted or completely ruined by incompetence. Goofs.
