My first heavy Opeth show will be this month. I'm wondering how the moshing is at their shows. I don't mosh so much anymore (must be getting old 
). Am I going to have to stand in back?

Yeah, I really don't mosh much at all anymore, i did when I was younger, but now I just go to shows to watch the show.
I've seen Opeth twice where I am in the front, and it seems that a lot of the people are there to actually see the band aswell. And it's usually the kids that end up moving their mosh pit a bit back, away from those in front trying to watch.
I'm guessing you'll have no problem remaining in the front watching the show. You may be pushed a few times unexpectedly. Sometimes the pit will work it's way to the front. It shouldn't be too much of a problem.
Just from my experience, btw

Usually there's but a moshpit at the end of the show (demon of the fall). I'm not a mosher as well (on the contrary, I don't understand the fun of it ffs)

mosh pits are gay. most people are there to watch the band, not get dragged into a pit of people acting like retards.

Moshing can be fucking cool. When I saw Machine Head for the first time in 1995 or something, I completely lost it (they were one of my favourite bands back then)! I went mad! I had lots of space because of that! It's just a way to loose your energy or something.
But now Opeth are my favourite and I'm older and their music isn't really 'moshable' except for maybe Demon of the Fall. I really enjoy watching the show now and just bang my head off during the heavy parts. Their shows are really friendly I would say, everybody's nice and when the people mosh it only takes two minutes because the next acoustic part will arive. I was always (5 times) able to stand completely at the front without getting kicked in the face...
So no worries....be not afraid

I've never been into moshing because it just seems so pointless and stupid. I go to enjoy the band and music and not to punch or get punched.

I've done more than my share of moshing, but my stories from those shows are of moshing and not seeing the band.

Crowd surfing is fun. But moshing is kinda stupid. What's the point in getting punched in the face for no reason?
Yeah same here. I don't mind if people mosh or whatever..as long as they're not hitting me or in my way during the concert cause I'm small and all, so I just stay away from it for the most part.DreamingofUr said:

moshing to generic death-metal bands is fun, because they don't do anything special...therefore there is nothing to see. moshing at an opeth show is kind of stupid though. those guys are just great to watch. there music is not all about killing people. but for some reason, a lot of annoying idiots like to scream "death-metaaaaaaalllll!!!" in a cookie monster voice and continue moshing in the acoustic parts. those of you who saw the damnation tour probably know what i am talking about. yah, the ones who moshed during hope leaves and screamed "distortion!!!! distortion!!!! bring on the death!!!!!! you pussies!!!!"......

Skanking is fuckin' fun, though.
I would skank at a ska show, but not mosh. I'm not into hurting people. It's just not fun for me. I like to watch.
DT/Queensryche was awesome. 1500 people standing and shouting along to music. You could see people's eyes bulging as they watched Petrucci and Myung's fingers.
