They should encore with BWP

[The Evil Toucan]

If they aren't gonna encore with Demon, they should use BWP. Deliverance is fine, but I don't see it as really an encore type song. BWP however, would be perfect. It pretty much sums up Opeth, and is definitely within the top 5 songs they've ever written. It's huge, long, and crushing. It really doesn't get much better than this song played live.

Discuss.

I think BWP is a better encore/closing song than Demon of the Fall. BWP stays raging until the very end, whereas DOTF sort of mellows out toward the end, killing the mood.

Then again, I've never been to an Opeth show

 

[Indrid Cold]

Good point...I like the night to end powerfully and BWP would probably fit the bill.

Best Encore Songs:
BWP
Deliverance
DOTF

And, to be honest, I think Deliverance would be the best song to close a set with possibly imaginable, so.... don't agree with you
BWP kicks ass though!!!

 

[Dante's Inferno]

I agree that Blackwater Park should close the show (at least the shows I attend). But I disagree with Deliverance being a bad encore, the outro is killer!

Is a wonderful way to end an, "Evening with Opeth" as in the DVD Lamentations.

A truly majestic outro, IMHO.

I am wondering what inspired Mike to write "This" song?

It is a brilliant composition and I love it...

 

[king_chicken]

i reckon bwp would pwn face, deliverence would come very close though
i reckon your right demon of the fall, as awesome as it is, should br used before the end of the show.

Please clarify...

Meanwhile, I'll cue up my DVD and watch AFJ again...

Here goes.

Back in 15 minute's or so...

Stick around

 

[affinityband]

Well, i was there and they came back after AFJ and played demon of the fall

 

[Dante's Inferno]

Ahem, Demon Of The Fall was cut away. Reason: record company stuff. Hence, DOTF ends.

Mmmm, I figured that, believe it or not.

I had been wondering if Opeth came back for an encore...

Damn copyright, that is probably why they didn't record it am I right ?

I just saw your "Face in the Crowd" though I woudn't recognize you because we have never met !

How long was the interval between set's ?

I still think "AFJ" would be a nice ending to an Opeth evening... but what do I know. :Spin:

Cheers, with no Beers, 2U.

PS: ^ Thanks Dante's, I posted before I saw you post a reply about the copyright thing, tis a pain, another brilliant song lost in the ether...

I did see Opeth play DOTF live a few times before Christmas, Fecking Awesome !!

 

[affinityband]

the interval was about half hour or so.

 

[Liquid Diamonds]

What, between sets, or between AFJ and DOTF?

 

[affinityband]

sets
i think it was about 5 or 10 mins to come back on

 

[Shadius]

I rekon Deliverance is a better encore than BWP. Without clean vocals, BWP dosn't quite stand out to me as showing most of Opeth's definitive sound, somehow (As evil as it is). I think Demon of the Fall shows more of their elements better, and is a damn heavy kickass song.

Nectar.
