Jul. 25 - Chicago, IL @ Vic Theater <<<<< not The HOB this time? and, during MMF?

hmmm.

 

[loebs]

They probaly get more money doin a headline show at a place like that instead of gettin a even share at MMF under the horrible managing of Jack Koshake and Rob Grohl. i dont think a fest devoted to death metal wants to hear an whole acoustic set haha i know i would cause opeth are gods at it

[murderedbysound]

[chaveta]

Irving plaza is gonna be fucking PACKED

 

[Demonspell]

Anyone know when tickets for the NYC show go on sale? Only two months before we bask in the warm afterglow of Porcupine Tree and acoustic Opeth...

 

[loebs]

nah same thing when they played irving plaza in january tickets didnt go on sale till a month before it happened, and look what happened, sold out in 2 weeks haha.

Yea there goin to play damnation stuff, i member getting to opeth early at the birch hill show and i heard and saw for a minute or 2 play stuff like windowpane, in my time of need, to rid the disease, and track 7 that instrumental, and they were playin moonlapse vertigo. sounded amazing even witout the keyboard-violin affects.

The set list yea of course there goin to play damnation stuff, but the song i cant wait to hear is the one and only "to bid u farewell" which i hope they close the show with. creedance of course, track 5 off still life, Harvest would be cool, be knighted, fair judgement, still day beneath the sun, patterns in ivy 2, i wonder if theyll play any of their regular songs but acoustic style like some artists do when they do radio performances haha or unplugged

YES! what if this show was Opeth unplugged!! haha imagine demon of the fall or leper infinity just acoustic?

i wonder if theyll use acoustics or electrics wit clean channel

 

[Cows on million man march]

OI!
i thought they were coming to Houston again! or atleast, Texas at all!
...amybe they will add dates some more dates soon.

 

[diospada]

Irving plaza is gonna be fucking PACKED

yea..

wonder who's gonna play first, opeth or porcupine tree.....

 

[illbeleavinnow]

I went to the Berklee PC site and they didn't have Opeth listed as playing on July 19th. Bastards...

 

[loebs]

even for me, porcupine is good band and glad to see a good band play wit opeth, but i think Opeth is headlining for a couple reasons

there better (sorry steve)
Tour the United states more
and the biggest reason,,, sold more records haha

 

[Hopkins-WitchfinderGeneral]

I told you guys. My sources were correct hehe

 

[ShadowLioness]

well, i guess i'll have to catch them the next time since (afaik) i'll be in Milwaukee that night.

You're going this year? I dunno...so far the line-up is *meh* this year (not that it was stupendous last year). I don't know whether I will be going or not yet...I still don't know what state I will be living in at that time
