For the US tour...

[Anti-Everything]

Do you think they'll have the NTSC DVD available for purchase with the merch? It'd be kind of dumb if they didn't but I wouldn't be surprised if it wasnt.

I hope so, I'll either get that or a new shirt.

That's an interesting thought. The release date (Feb. 24) comes after almost every show on the tour (the last one being Feb. 28), but it would make some sense to sell it on tour, since the tour is intended to promote the DVD. At least I hope that's their plan...

Does anyone know if for the Jan and Feb North American* tour, Opeth will be playing mostly material from "Damnation"?

* Yes, North America. There are Canadian dates too.

I believe the set on this tour is supposed to consist of material that they've rarely played live.

It would be a miracle if the played "The Night and the Silent Water" live. Although it will probably never happen, I'd love to see it performed live.

They need to sell the DVD on the tour

If they sell the DVD on the tour, you know it's going to cost twice as much. I'll wait the extra five days.

 

[Anti-Everything]

Well, if so, my ticket was a christmas present, so it'll be compensated for in a sense.

Actually, I'm not so sure it's "primarily" stuff not previously played. (wow, that was a twisted sentence). Only that they are pulling out a few weird ones. One of which is supposed to be Blackwater Park (which is my personal favorite, so I'm pretty fucking excited).

Anyway, no doubt they'll do a little of everything, including, I'm thinkining anyway, a couple off of Damnation. We'll see, but I'm betting it'll be pretty cool setlist for sure.

The Blackwater Park info, incidentally, was from some post on the official site awhile ago. They mentioned some of what they were rehearsing for the tour....I think there was another specific song or two listed, but I forget now....
