Opeth Setlists for the "Chronology MCMXCIV - MMV " shows

[brooklyn bacchanal]

The rest is speculation until NYC. I wonder if they'll play a few different songs at each of the Observation dates.


True. Very True.
The setlist variation really depends on the bands willingness to change. Certain bands will change it up at every show, while others will practice particular songs and stay with them. I have a feeling that for Opeth, and with Chronology specifically, the latter may be the case.

Question: Why did you list the songs you did? Favorites, or Opeth constants?

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

Yeah I'm also NeilPeart on Head-fi - I owned those K1000 I'm wearing but sold them (now I wish I kept them).

 

[Valerie]

i hope they play a 2 hour long version of prologue!!!


yeah, they are not coming to mexico so i couldnt care less!


yes i'm bitter!

Couldn't you just... cross the boarder and slip inside the Wiltern? That's what you guys are good at right?

I thought that every show was going to have a different setlist?

With the earlier shows focusing on the earlier albums and the latter shows focusing on the newer ones...

They played those in Sweden last week, it wouldn't make sense to be playing something completely different for the US tour. So I'd imagine all of those songs or the majority anyways will be played on the US tour.

that would suck for fans of a particular era living in the wrong place.

Well it sucks in general for fans that don't live in America

Yea, I like the nwere stuff a little more, but have not really listened to Orchid or Morningrise too much. I just wish they would play a lot of MAYH, Still Life, and Ghost Reveries. Yea, pretty much new era Opeth, unless you consider MAYH old Opeth.

And where did you hear that? I havent read anything like that, unless it was in a magazine interview. Im going to the New York show, so I kind of hope they play more of the newer stuff instead of a lot off of Orchid and Morningrise, which I dont know a lot off of because I never listened to them too much.

Closure (the improvised, throat-grabbing version off the D.V.D Lamentations) is by far the best Damnation live track next to Windowpane. As a studio track it's lacking, but the beast that it turns into live has almost equal energy as their death-metal moments. It seems like I'm the few who notice the energy this song has.

You're not the only one. It's just never really come up in conversation. I think the song is spectacular both live and on the album.
