It was awesome !!! Despite the fucking waste of time between the two opening acts that almost made me miss the last train going home and furthermore the opening acts were pretty boring!!
The setlist was (in no order)
Deliverance
A fair Judgegment
Lepper Affinity
Bleak
Drappery Falls
Godhead's Laments
Creedence ( amazing version - amazing ending )
Demon of the Fall ( encore )
Advent
And i think that's all as far as I remember
The crowd was pretty warm and mad for an Opeth show. last time i saw them everyone was on cloud nine with eyes closed like at church :lol
But this time the setlist was pretty heavy and there was some nice moshers and slammers hehe.
Strange that the atmosphere was so different only one year after the last Paris show
Concerning the performance itself, they needed a couple songs to really get into it but after that it became a crazy show. Mike's voice was almost perfect especially in the beginning but most of the clean vocals parts were in the songs at the end of the show so his vocals cords were beginning to get a little bit tired since the setlist was damn heavy with a lot of growls
The sound quality was ok tho i think the guitars deserved to have a little less dirty sound and to be higher in terms of sound level. I noticed the incredible work both guitarist have done concerning their sounds and effects and the stage presence became better better at the end of the show ! nice
The lights were ok , nothng special to mention on that point ...
The rhytmic section has done its work properly , they're not here to make the show but they're fucken precise, almost surgical, well it's no news anyway
Voilà !! Allez ... one anectode to conclude, for the encore Mike came up on stage saying :
Mike : 'Are you into death metal? '
The crowd : yeahhhhhhh Bloodbath '
Mike 'Are you into BRUTAL DEATH METAL?'
the crowd : BLOODBATH BLOODBATH !!!
Mike ' This song is called Demon of the Fall '
U Little bastard !!
i admit i was expecing some bloodbath too at the end...
And fortunately i arrived at the station 30 seconds before the last train left , hopefully Mike didnt say another sentence between two songs
I still wonder why Mader Mortem or something like that took so much time to come on stage ... furthermore to deliver such a boring show ... ok the singer is great but it's musically boring and after the two heavy opening songs , the set became boring and numb ... Maybe i should check them on CD i dunno ... i was in a bad mood cause of the 1 hour delay between the two opening acts , but maybe it wasnt their fault ??? but what's the point in announcing the beginning of a 3 bands concert at 6.30 PM to make it end at 0.15 AM !! organization suxxx arse at La Locomotive but the venue in itself is ace
What more to say ??? Wainting for Damnation
