i think the live mix of his vocals is different from the mix on albums or dvds, in case of this performance.
ok mike's voice is a bit too low but IMO they did a really good job there, i like the video^^
thanks nat0
I was there, and the soundmix wasn't too good indeed (not as horrible as the vid), but if you listen closely on the Watershed record, you can hear his voice is almost as deep as it is live.
The vocals sound perfect.
Oh wait! My girlfriend was there on the first row :O!
She told me that Opeth disappointed her and that Mikael didn't really get close to the (huge) public, he didn't really talk.
mikael's just doing a lower growl, like he does on the album. the mix doesn't sound weird to me at all either. maybe only the kick sounds weird, it's far too clicky.
edit: mendez is a beast on this song btw, during the trem picking of the open E he's doing some crazy fast shit from what I can tell
