My God, what an amazing show. Let me start of saying I spent the better part of 10-11 hours in this area:
Until the greatness arrived:
They were the nicest fucking band I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. They signed everything and made sure everyone had pics, just pure greatness.
The show was absolutely phenomenal. An Symphonic Doom metal band named Virgin Black opened, and they were excellent. But no match to the mighty Opeth, who slayed with an amazing setlist:
They went straight into Heir Apparent in the beginning, that large ominous chord ringing out the Thebarton Theater before carrying into the hugely death metal influenced Master's Apprentices.
They then carried through some of the best songs from their catalogue, including Serenity Painted Death, To Rid the Disease, Night and the Silent Water, Bleak, and ending the set with the epic Demon of the Fall before coming out for an encore with The Drapery Falls.
All in all, easily the best gig I've been to (it was better then their 2006 gig, which was still awesome) and I'm glad to be able to say I've fucking met one of my favourite bands, whose logo adorns my right arm
Cheers.
