Anyone know what they will be playing at these shows? A lot of speculation, but I'm curios to know the details beforehand.
Opeth Setlists for the "Chronology MCMXCIV - MMV " shows
- Thread starter brooklyn bacchanal
- Start date
I myself am leaning towards a couple of particulars off of Ghost Reveries:
Beneath the Mire
Reverie/Harlequin Forest
The Baying of the Hounds
and/or The Grand Conjuration
As for all the other albums I have difficulty in guessing which of the many great songs they will play
From Still Life (which is my favorite album- I know, an unpopular choice, but the truth) I hope that they play Face of Melinda because it is one of my most listened to songs (ie I love it)
I am guessing that if they wanted to go very heavy they would play serenity painted death or white cluster, although The Moor is a nice choice as well. One song I am sure they wont play is Benighted- too soft and too slow, and no big payoff.
As for all the others, I'm not even sure its worth speculating, there are so many choices.

The Twilight is My Robe
Advent
April Ethereal
Epilogue
The Leper Affinity
Still Day Beneath the Sun (one can only wish)
Blackwater Park (again)

Nectar
To bid you Farewell
April Ethereal
Credence
Moonlapse Vertigo
The Moor
The Funeral Portrait
The Leper Affinity
Wreath
Deliverance
Windowpane
To Rid the Disease
Ghost of Perdition

Sounds good to me.

say what you will, speculation is fun.
I'm most curious to hear what they will play from Morningrise. That was my first Opeth album (back in 98 yo) and while not necessarily my favorite, it is one I have a special connection to.
While I'm hoping for BRI, that is a long ass song and I don't know that they'll make room for it. More likely Advent and/or The Night and the Silent Water - good tunes both. To Bid You Farewell is a little too repetitive and I don't see Mikael and Peter going back to that one..

Selecting the tracks for an Opeth set-list is a difficult task; the very nature and beauty of Opeth lie in their albums when consumed as a whole, aside from the fact that there are so many beautiful tracks that choosing a mere few is nigh impossible. Below is my choice for a ~ 180 minute show (of course the order and pace may need tweaking, and Ill probably prefer other tracks tomorrow, but this is would be an excellent set-list tonight it seems my favorite Opeth songs fluctuate with time and the different phases melt together and evolve perhaps this mimics the very essence of Opeth themselves?
Orchid:
Silhouette
The Twilight is My Robe
Requiem
Morningrise:
Advent
To Bid You Farewell
My Arms, Your Hearse:
When
The Amen Corner
Demon of the Fall (more appropriately used as encore, IMO)
Still Life:
Godheads Lament
Face of Melinda
Serenity Painted Death
Blackwater Park:
Bleak
Dirge for November
Patterns in the Ivy II
Deliverance:
Wreath
A Fair Judgment
Masters Apprentice
Deliverance (more appropriately used as encore, IMO)
Damnation:
Windowpane
In My Time of Need
Closure
Ghost Reveries:
Beneath the Mire
Reverie/Harlequin Forest
Hours of Wealth

Songs I think might be likely:
The Twilight Is My Robe or The Apostle In Triumph (not both)
Advent and/or To Bid You Farewell
When
Demon Of The Fall
The Moor
Moonlapse Vertigo(?)
The Drapery Falls
BwP
Deliverance
Wreath(?)
Closure
The Grand Conjuration
Harlequin Forest (?)
Ghost Of Perdition.
Actually, that's very unlikely, but they say they will be playing some stuff they haven't before, and those are the ones I think are most likely...

Dude, the guy who posted above - BLACK ROSE IMMORTAL, I'm sure, may be 100% in. I'm going crazy just thinking about it. Songs that have NEVER been played before??? Um, yeah, BRI - an opus of a song like this for an occasion such as this one? I think the show would be worth it for this song alone.
For the longest time, it was my fave. Not anymore, but it's still in the top 10 for sure. Anyway, it is a seated show - what better way to enjoy a show than to soak in all the glory that is BRI? Geez, it'd be perfect as the closing track of the night. The track just has so many moments of sheer "class."
Let's just say, this announcement of past setlists had me almost piss my pants.

Alls I Know is I want to hear ghost of perdition, then I'll be happy. As for black rose imortal... I think that would be a terrible mistake to use 20 minutes on one song. I think instead they should play all their intro songs like madrigal and then the amen corner or requiem and then the apostle in triumph.
Hmm.. I don't know why everyone is so sure about BRI. Simply because they have never played it? Maybe there is a good reason, as the the guy above wrote: ITs really long, even for an Opeth song.
However, perhaps they would shorten it? Is that a crazy thing to do? I know its then a "tainted" and "impure" version but nonetheless....
Anyways, I cant wait for the 23rd
(and In Flames/Trivium in two days)

I hope if they choose to do BRI that it's not a "tainted" version of the song. It would be a HUGE disappointment if they start playing it and it ends up being watered down. It would completely ruin years of anticipation of one day hearing that song live.

Nice K1000's, is that you? You post at Head-Fi?

Anywho...
I'm pretty sure they'll be including:
The Baying Of The Hounds
When
Deliverance
In My Time Of Need
To Rid The Disease
The Drapery Falls
The Grand Conjuration
Face Of Melinda
Blackwater Park
Demon Of The Fall
The rest is speculation until NYC. I wonder if they'll play a few different songs at each of the Observation dates.
