Opeth Live Album?

[clayman666]

I was wondering if the band has ever said anything about doing a live album. I've never heard Opeth live so i dont know how well it would work out.

What are your thoughts about this?

I know i would buy it.

 

[bleed for me]

it's about time they did one...or even better, i live dvd

I've got a live version of Advent. Says "Music of the Night" in the filename. Anyone know what that is?

 

[Hondo]

It's from a bootleg of a show in The Netherlands. That's just the name of the show or something.

hmmm i think it's a bad idea. Opeth's music to me isn't really meant to be played live haha i don't see the value in owning a live album from them. BUT a DVD now THAT i would buy.

I've managed to find a few bootlegs but of course the quality of the recordings aren't that great (Opeth playing live sound REALLY good though). Since I'm in Australia and probably won't get a chance to see them live in the near future (although I've heard they may come here next year) I'm all for them putting out a properly recorded live album or even DVD

I think Mike said in an interview he didn't like the concept of live albums, or something like that. And I also think they are making a DVD.

 

[mindphaser]

I remember reading somewhere about the DVD possibilty also, I just don't won't to give my hopes up if it doesn't happen

Live Cd: Wouldn't buy.

DVD:Would buy.

 

[Bleakest Harvest]

Yeah they might put out a DVD with the Deliverance sessions on it. Hopefully they'll stick a live show on there as well.

 

[Wolfenchild]

If they did a live CD it'd have to be from the recent London gig, it kicked arse!

 

[Black Dragon]

I don't care for live albums, and I detest them when they put in place of another studio effort.

Funny, I would buy a live CD, but Opeth on DVD? Snoozefest.


Lets sit on our couch and stare at the TV! I'd rather listen to an album and do something than watch a DVD and do nothing. And, its portable!

dvd would be awesome as you can put so much, including live show on where there was awesome OPETh fan participation.

cd would be impossible unless they edited all in between song bantar and I just can't see an opeth live cd.

just my 2 cents.

I'd get a DVD. Probably a live CD too, I'm a nerdy completist fan.

 

[Alex78]

of course I'd buy anything they release, but a DVD with some videos from the recording sessions or some live videos would be really great...

 

[batmura]

I personally don't care much for live albums, and am not sure if I'd buy it. I like Opeth's studio albums better.

Out of curiosity, why not?

opeths albums have a feel to them.

i think playing songs randomly from different cd's loses alot of the effect. and

plus the quality would be most likely below par which would give first time listeners to Opeth a negative impression.


plus a live album is mearly a re-hash of their old stuff. i want more new opeth material, not the same old thing shuved back in my face.


Live albums have always seemed as if they are for bands who have run outta ideas and need to put something out to satisfy their fans.

it can delay the release of quality new material which is what most people want
