Well, Mike knows its probably THE most requested song they've ever had since 1996, so it has to be done at one time or another, and he also knows we won't accept it if it's not in it's entirety. Maybe he's even improved the song!
The Twilight is My Robe is the ultimate example of the direction Mikael prevented Opeth from taking. I would like to direct your attention to 7:47-7:49.
Black Rose Immortal is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo overated. TNATSW pisses over it, its a song that should be kept on the back burner permanently, theres so many tracks that they either havent played live or dont play live often, as i said making TNATSW a regular number, Wreath, The Funeral Portrait, To Bid You Farewell, Forest Of October, Isolation Years etc etc.
^I'm not rating MRI dude , I just love it. As far as I know it could be a crappy song.But Mike sad he can always hear people asking for it on the lives, so its fair enough that he decides to pull it out from the closet. It shows respect to the audience. But even if he doesn't, Opeth gigs are so Fing great to complain about anything
i think i remember that mike said, they played every song from Morningrise live, but not TNATSW. that was before the last tour ...
mh, seems like they played black rose ... dunno.
