What songs have never been played live?

I could be wrong, but I'm almost positive they played Wreath at the Mason Jar in Phoenix last February. However, it was my first Opeth show, so the whole night was kind of a blur.

Hi guys!
Don't know why I'm responding to this really, but you seem to wanna know.
Many of the songs you guys thought we'd never played we actually have played.
From the first album all songs have been played live except for "Requiem" and "Silhouette". At one gig in 1994 we did all the "Orchid" songs (incl. "Under the weeping moon") apart from those two.
All Morningrise songs have been played apart from "The night and the silent water". We did a brief version of "Black rose immortal" in High Wycombe/UK in 1995. Morningrise wasn't recorded by then and the song was not finished, but it still counts....30 people or so saw it.
All of MAYH have been played apart from the instrumentals + "Karma".
All songs from Still life apart from "The moor" which we are rehearsing right now....hard track to play!!
All BWP songs apart from the instrumental + the title track (which we're also rehearsing + "Dirge for November". We did "The funeral portrait" during a short 7 gig UK tour in 2002.
From Deliverance we haven't played "Wreath" and "By the pain I see in others" I think BTPISIO is impossible to play, but I'd like to give it a go...it's so fucked up it'll be hard to get it right. That makes it extra interesting!
Obviously all the "Damnation" tracks have been played live.
Hope that answers your questions!
See ya soon!
Mike

Thank you Mikael! Well, he's just the coolest. I'm happy now. See you in a few weeks, good luck on the tour! So... rehearsing The Moor and BWP and Dirge for November eh? I think everyone is about to burst to see The Moor live, including me. Wreath would be awesome, though I didn't have any luck convincing anyone it was a Christmas song 
. Personally I'm all giddy about seeing Blackwater Park played live as well....all in all I know this is going to be the best damn show which is why I'm following Opeth around for the Texas dates.

Hey Mike, if you get back to this post, do you have any recordings of any of the rarer tracks that you spoke of? I would need a change of pants after hearing April Ethereal or Under the Weeping Moon live.
I'm somewhat collecting live/rare Opeth bootlegs... just to pass the time (of which I have too much of)... so if anyone wants a copy of a rare or live track, feel free to contact me (adress on previous page).

was just gonna post and say the funeral portrait was played in london may 2002. the amen corner was played in leeds on that tour.
and im pretty sure that the night and the silent water isnt actually ABOUT mikael's grandfather, its linked in some other way.. like it was being rehearsed or written or something at the time mikael heard.. correct me if im wrong.

I wish i could see them in dallas.. there is a pretty big place here in Lubbock you guys could play at; but hey, i dont get to choose where you guys play.
