This was an amazing show. I had goosebumps and tears in my eyes for most of the Opeth set. I was a little disappointed with the sound, but it was better than usual for The Agora.
The overall volume was good though. Loud enough to feel it, but I didn't leave with my ears ringing. I was up in the chairs with the old farts who came to see PT and I was shocked at how rude they were. So many of them were talking loud, nonstop during Opeth. Idiots!
As awesome as the Opeth set was, I couldn't help wanting to hear just one growl.. it felt like the audience was waiting for them to let loose, even though I knew the setlist before the show.
The PT set was unreal. I wasn't sure if I would be able to get into their music or not, but damn they were good live. So polished and the sound was crystal. I immediately went to the table and loaded up on CDs after the show.

What did you expect? It was the Damnation tour and was supposed to be all mellow....

I would expect them to play some other mellow songs besides the entirety of the vastly mediocre Damnation. Play Harvest at the very least!
But it was the Damnation tour..and since Damnation is something "different" I was not surprised that they played it in its entirety. And that made me happy. Seemed like the right thing to do.
But I was hoping for Harvest as well. Ah, well...it was good. Very, very good.

I cannot think of any instance where I would want a band to play an album through in a concert, I'd rather just stay home and listen to the cd.
Neither can I.....except for Damnation. I thought the show and the whole album being played was perfect. I actually enjoyed that show quite a bit more than the Deliverance one--not because of the fact that it was all soft, but because of the atmosphere and the ability to actually focus fully on the stage and the music. I love "normal" Opeth, but I just don't like the rough moshing and crowd surfing and constant worrying about one's own safety that comes with it 
And I must always be in the front row. Granted, it's better than the 2nd or 3rd, but it's still rough.
I just know that I'll never forget that day because it was probably the best day of my life.
