I'm hoping to see Opeth when they play NYC live again. Anyone out there see them live? How were they?
Anyone from the NYC area?

I thought they were great live. I don't know, I just like when bands sound like they do on CD, and the last show at Irving Plaza was great! Hope you get to catch them next time they come through.
I may get shit for saying this, but hands down, Dream Theater is probably the world's best live act. Four hours, tons of crap, specials, never the same songlist two nights in a row.

He's right, hope to see them someday.
And I'm hoping to see those bastards named Opeth in my fucking country... or Chile.

Because if a band can't pull off their own material live you have to fucking wonder how they did it in the first place. I dont mind if they improvise things, but I'd rather see a solid performance of some of my favorite songs then a 1.5 hour raping of my eardrums.

They were really good, Mikael was pretty funny between the songs. They are kinda boring to watch though.

they are awesome, because they just go up there and play their songs to the best of their ability in a very raw and live fashion. they don't do anything fancy, they just play their music...what could possibly be boring about that?

I have been to lots and lots of concerts and Opeth was my favorite. And you people are making me feel like shit for missing Rush the last time they came around. I tried my hardest, but I just couldn't make it

The Damnation tour was great, but the Lamentations tour could have been better. Mikael himself said they could have used some more rehearsing, particularly on songs like The Moor. Their best performances came with songs they've played forever, like April Ethereal and Demon of the Fall. Having said that, they killed when they played Blackwater Park!
Better shows I've seen though:
Sonic Youth at the Del Mar Racetrack (2003)
Black Sabbath at the L.A. Forum (1999)
Radiohead at Coors Amphitheatre (2003)
Iron Maiden--many times in the 80's
Robert Randolph--San Diego (2004)
Rainbow in Sacramento (1984)--BTW, Ritchie Blackmore is coming to San Diego this month!!!!!!!!!! Fucking there, dudes!
