Moonlapse Vertigo

[all_sins_undone]

I was just browsing the forums then I was like OMGWTF

Have Opeth ever played this song live?
This song rox hardcore.

i read somewhere that Mike said they used to play it but it's too technical to play properly live so they dropped it from their sets for future gigs.

Somewhere on the internet you can find a video of Opeth doing a live set where the setlist is

Moonlapse Vertigo
Advent
Deliverance
A Fair Judgement
Demon of the Fall

or something like that. I know MV is the opener... and while by the end of the song I was very impressed, the beginning was TERRIBLE.

 

[daz436]

yeh the beginning isnt the same without use of an ebo

 

[Braighs]

I thought there was 4 guitar tracks going at once at the beginning.
Anyway, I would love to hear this. It is my fav from SL.

I'm pretty sure this bootleg actually opens with Godhead's Lament. And yeah, the beginning is bad.

I think the first song is GL.. And live from Inferno festival, Norway.
BTW yes they played Moonlapse Vertigo live.


edit: hmm foghawk actually said the same thing

They opened their set with it at Milwaukee Metal Fest in 2000, the first gig on US soil. I was there (yay me!)

i remember this as well. they didn't have any of their own equipment. still life remains my favorite album, ever. i also remember getting a speeding ticket on the way home, too.

 

[in limbow]

I love the acoustic verses

 

[RDreamer]

OMFG amazing bootleg.... and BTW they played The Drapery Falls right before A Fair Judgment, so it was a 6-song set, not 5. But wow, just... wow. I only wish the sound could have been as clear as Lamentations but, a bootleg is a bootleg I suppose. Still, incredible show! Thank you thank you thank you, whoever posted this.

 

[Mad Poet]

In an interview Akerfeldt said they never managed to get it right live, and that even the studio recording wasn't quite right, so they were going to stop trying and "just fucking forget about it."

I don't really see any problems with the studio recording, though.

 

[Tubbs]

Are we actually allowed to talk about bootlegs here?

No way.

NO. WAY.

That's insane.

Nope... saw it on the dreamtheater.net forums a few days ago
