Joensuu Ilosaari festival

[Misko]

Yeah, it's some customized version of ESP EC-1000, the only visible difference being the 4 controls (I guess 2x2) instead of 3 on the standard version. Nice axe!

The setlist was very heavy and dark. I wonder if it's hard to sing songs like Drapery Falls etc. (I mean lots of clean vocals and growling) after a long break from touring. Or do you think it was heavy just because they wanted it to be?

terve!
first, as a foreign, i wanna say that it was a great festival!!! i really enjoyed it!! u finnish people know how to do music

about what u said, most of Opeth songs are dark and heavy...
therefore the playlist was this way and I dont think there's any relation to the fact they havent performed for so long.

Here's couple pictures from the Opeth's gig. In the crowd picture I'm that Che guy .

The gig was very nice and Fredrik played well and he seemed to fit in the band. But like Mike said they where a bit rusty because of the hiatus. Couple things that I didn't like was pretty lazy tempo in some songs and Fredrik's almost Yngwie Malmsteen-like heavy metal poses :I.

The playlist was:

The Grand Conjuration
Deliverance
To Rid The Disease
Blackwater Park
Demon Of The Fall

I gotta say that Porcupine Tree was AMAZING, almost like orgastic experience for me.

omfg....... i'm jelous
