... fucking amazing! I am blown away.
I saw Opeth live last year at the Metro and I thought that show was the best I'd ever seen. Tonight's has knocked it off pole position.
Highlights were:
April Ethereal
Blackwater Park
Windowpane (surprisingly)
The Moor!!!!!!!!!
Ok.. so every song was a highlight.
Mikael was once again a brilliant showman and kept us entertained between songs with his little jokes. I especially liked when the two Martins played a bit of Billie Jean by Michael "sharing your bed is the most loving thing you can do" Jackson.
My only gripe is that the audience was fucking lame. Maybe the venue was to blame (standing room for a few hundred and seating for the rest), but who the hell sits down for Blackwater Park?! I was up the entire concert banging my head. Maybe everyone else was just "taking it in" or something.. but I was pretty dissappointed. The crowd at the last Sydney show were much more alive.
My seat cost me $100 (I bought 2 tix and my mate pulled out on me lat minues)! I don't care now - it was well worth it.
Oh yeah.. I recorded the whole show on my MP3 player. Unfortunately, it only records at 128Kbps and the shitty little mic probably couldn't handle the volume. I'm yet to listen to it, but if anyone wants a copy (or a cleaned up version if I can) then I'll make it available to you.
If you were there, let me know what you think.
Cheers guys! Thanks Opeth!
