Okay, guys...dream setlist time

[todd1726]

Fill an hour or two with your dream Opeth setlist.

Here's mine:

The first hour is solely devoted to playing Still Life in its entirety. C'mon, I've seen them 3 times now, and I've only heard Face Of Melinda (which was one of the crowning moments of my life) and The Moor live. For real, I want Godhead's Lament, White Cluster, and especially Serenity Painted Death and Moonlapse Vertigo.

The second hour or half hour or whatever they had left would have assorted songs.

1. The Moor
2. Godhead's Lament
3. Benighted
4. Moonlapse Vertigo
5. Face Of Melinda
6. Serenity Painted Death
7. White Cluster

At this point, they could do the normal Opeth intro.

8. The Baying Of The Hounds
9. April Ethereal (I've already heard it live, but it fucking slays, so it stays on the list)
10. Karma/Epilogue (Lopez picks this as his least favorite song, why???)
11. Ghosts Of Perdition/Hours Of Wealth
12. Dirge For November
13. Wreath/Ending Credits
14. Demon Of The Fall/Isolation Years (seriously, how could you have an Opeth show that didn't end with Demon Of The Fall, but the short Isolation Years would have me in tears if I heard it live, so that's on there too)

Okay, I cheated, but seriously, why do Opeth take opening acts with them? I think every fan would rather just see them play a 2 and a half hour set.

I wpould watch tentivley to hear every single song and would sit there for about 9 an a half hours to hear it. Fuck choosing, my dream would be to hear it all.

Still Day Beneath the Sun

and finally, my favorite song to end the night....
Dirge for November

 

[Kir-ir-Bannog]

although demon is awesome, it's not a good closer IMO. The ending just doesn't have the right mood to finish a gig.

It should def be BWP. I vote it THE BEST ending of any opeth track.

*edit* im going out for beers. I shall think about my dream setlist over a nice cool pint of ale, whilst eyeing up a few nice ladies.

 

[one with misery]

At first part all My arms your hearse album(which is my all time favourite)
at the second part
The Moor
Bleak
The Baying Of The Hounds
Forest Of October
Moonlapse Vertigo
Dirge For November
Under the Weeping Moon
The Night And Silent Water
Godhead's Lament
Harlequin Forest
Deliverance
This concert can be very long but it is short for opeth.Because they make incredible songs.

[in_absentia]

what about master's.. can never leave that out. id want weakness too.
closure
white cluster
bleak

 

[BefriendedUnit]

What Per does on the keys for Weakness is better than the album (from what I've seen on the DVD)... something about the harmonies. It's not necessarily a song I'd need to see live, though. Master's Apprentices is great, but it would be really fuckin sweet if they worked out the vocal harmonies near the middle part.

 

[in_absentia]

i think seeing weakness live would be really great. i think it would be really close and personal to see akerfeldt just up there by himself on the guitar with per on the keys. i dunno man i just thing its a really... personal song if you get what i mean

 

[biggsy]

i love weakness... heaps of people dont 'get' it or just simply dont like it but i think its an incredible track. id also want to hear, the moor, moonlapse vertigo, windowpane, hope leaves, when, april ethereal and of course, to bid you farewell. i think nectar would go down sweetly as well.

 

[BefriendedUnit]

From what I've seen on the Norway '03 vid, Advent is really tight live. My list is oriented more towards the Death Metal side of Opeth, but I guess Weakness should be in there somewhere.

 

[biggsy]

id need a balance between death and mellow. add patterns in the ivy II in there as well.

 

[Pethical]

another vote for all, except TGC.
