still think TGC should be ditched for something from Morningrise or GR
and Bleak should be ditched for Leper Affinity

Yeeesh thats a harsh trip - it will be worth it though. I'm coming from Tooting in South London, so I've got a nice long bus ride. Will probably get stabbed... Mike's ass is worth it.

mike will be able to write a new song about an opeth fan getting stabbed after their gig
awesome:zombie:
I'll be there, can't wait!...going straight from work in the city and meeting my GF at the venue...pleased to see that GL might make the set for London..
Kir-ir-Bannog...I think the last central line tube from shepherds bush is just after midnight so should be fine...unless Opeth play the set list I was hoping for!!

yeah wtf... mikael says that they're rehearsing songs they never played before, and then it's always the same stuff...
my love for opeth's music goes beyond that, anyway, but i'm a bit disapponted if that'll be the setlist for all the entire tour

I am going to the gig in Gothenburg, and the addition of Godhead's Lament was definitely a change in the right direction. Makes me look forward to it more (even though I've seen them play that song back in 2003).
It sounds like you know something I don't

You have to see for yourself how awesome that song is live - the heavyness is awesome.... - infact overall the current setlist is one of the heaviest Opeth have ever done with The Lotus Eater, Deliverance, TGC, Heir Apparent... along with the heavy goodness of Bleak and the Drappery Falls

Hello!
In Birmingham now. Just getting into touring mode again.
As for your complaints on the setlist. I think we do switch songs around quite a lot. As we started the tour last Spring we played Wreath, Masters, To rid etc. We've done Serenity, Night & silent water, we've done Harvest. We rotate songs pretty often I think, and we did leave some "faves" out of the set during the whole Summer too.
Apart from a small number of fans who are travelling around to see more gigs than one on a tour, I think this setlist is a rather pleasing one for the majority of the crowd. We will rotate songs again for next year too and we ARE rehearsing songs such as Harlequin forest, Karma, Hessian peel, Burden, The Moor and stuff like that. Weve talked about bringing Leper back into the set as well. We played that all the time before.
The only complaint I have about this tour we're on now is that we have a strickt curfew, and in some cases we'll get fined up to a 1000 pounds per minute if we run over. Since we have 2 support bands we're playing 1hr 30 most nights which is alright, yet the 2hrs we did in the US felt perfect for me. Nevertheless, I hope you come out to see us, we're very much on form I think!
I know some of you have a "dream" setlist which is cool, but personally I think this one is not too shabby.
Cheers
Mike

cheers! but having toured so extensively for the last decade or so, don't you sometimes feel the urge to play songs live you never really did before?
