Opeth - Hope Leaves - Newbury Comics - Leominster, MA - April 20th 2013 - Record Store Day 1080P HD

[@Ecclesiastes11718]

I honestly feel sorry for people who dislike this band.

[@srrish666]

It's probably be cause most people loves the growl, heavy parts. Opeth is mostly balled. However Opeth songs are not so easy to play

[@blakfloyd]

I don't. You and I get immense enjoyment out of listening to Opeth but I (and you, possibly) might get zero enjoyment listening to a typical top 40 band whereas it might be the exact opposite for someone else. If someone's enjoying music, I think that's a good thing regardless of who the artist is. I'm just happy the age of the internet has given more niche bands like them the chance to reach a wide enough audience that we're able to still hear new Opeth stuff 34 years after they formed.

Sono no bravi bravissimi per i miei gusti variano molto e questo il bello di chi ascolta prog 🎉🎉

[@stefanogoatin]

D'esempio i Dream theater ottimi strumentisti ma queste armonie che fanno gli Opeht se li scordano poi hanno un po' stufato 🎉🎉

[@stefanogoatin]

I Dream theater fanno le gare di chi è il più bravo per quello stufano 🎉🎉

[@MAFiA303]

feels like Opeth kids version with all the toys in the background. my kids shall grow up with this music

[@ndbd9drn]

More kids should listen to Opeth instead of those crap on TV. I remember my dad trying to ease me into Opeth with Damnation. Then one day I picked up Deliverance myself and he was pleased xD

[@ozzylepunknown551]

i did and now i am thinking about the point of my existance

[@ruinsane100]

Mikael's voice is PERFECT. Over the last few years he has become my favorite rock/metal vocalist of all time. There is nothing cheesy about his singing whatsoever... no shrill metal screams, no self-indulgence, just pure, beautiful singing.

[@ajejebrazorf8358]

ruinsane100 Man, his metal screams were beautiful

[@francismcalister7811]

*growls

[@reducetheatoms]

I agree with you !!!!

[@dethronedemperor]

@@ajejebrazorf8358if you haven’t heard the new album, you’re in for a real treat

[@marcogonzalez8063]

Opeth is the best band of entire world, greetings from Ecuador 🇪🇨 South America

[@sparechange1744]

One of the best bands of all time

[@DarkangelGab]

This music always bring me to tears...sometimes even dont know why...I love it!

[@colinclark1981]

Same. It's probably their saddest sounding song imo

[@milicanikolic5704]

my favorite from Damnation

[@keetakitten]

Damn, Mikael's guitar is gorgeous

[@sakura1910]

keetakitten His Signature SE by PRS... I wanted one, but they all seem to be sold out quite some time ago :(

[@francismcalister7811]

Yeah, I wanted one too as it's pretty peculiar in terms of specs, but that opeth logo is a big drawback for me. I love the band's logo, but it would take some major guitar skills to "overcome" that.

[@waltherp991968]

Opeth is my religion!!!

[@pranavnalineshakoundinya9196]

that guitar solo in the end! just gives me the chills! Simply Superb!!

[@forget-me-not9876]

Band with the stretch as far as the whole universe,but still performs in a book and toyshop with the same intensity and passion and sensuality.Insane dedication towards music ♥️

[@omardalbah2038]

The solo keeps me coming back here every single day. Unbelievable..

[@Onyx8Moon]

So beautiful. This song has helped me transform negative energies into release...

[@colinclark1981]

Mikeals voice is incredible in this performance

[@HussainSaahil]

A Hello Kitty drum kit in the background would have made it perfect.

[@kevinkaber]

those lucky ass nerds! ive seen them 3 times an that would have been my favorite for sure lol

[@MajorShmoopy]

It was my favorite concert without a doubt, I talked with Mikael before their show in Worcester in 2014 and he said he was very nervous to play it. I guess the small crowds get him more than the huge crowds.

[@oterovidal2484]

I love Mikael's singing in this!

[@colinclark1981]

It's so damn good

[@LiamNoir]

With the juxtaposition of those toys (sorry, collectables) in the background and Frederik's solo at the end, it's like I'm hearing a different song entirely. ❤️

[@phucdang768]

They should do an unplugged live show like katatonia sanctitide

[@oaspe]

Fredrick without capo. My hand can’t do that.

[@crystalskylight9327]

It's a big stretch! My hand can't do it either!

[@gauravonguitars]

Even with a capo, it’s quite a stretch.

[@krypton9367]

Haha I was about to comment on that. That is one nasty stretch

[@EGOSGUITAR]

welp for some reason i can do that stretch with the G string tuned to E without a capo. it comes with practice i guess

[@suhasrn]

Thought so too, eventually you get used to it and stops feeling like a stretch

[@miguelzartz9054]

Opeth in a comics store! "These are a few of my favorite things" right here...

[@paullevine1813]

Some super fine acoustic work from Fredrik , he adds so much & hides as much of his talent till it's his turn to shine. As hard as this is to play on electric, acoustic wise it's a hell a of a stretch to reach those opening chords. Peter Lindgren was also amazing on this fine piece of music.

[@Fernanda80001]

It's so perfect, i love opeth *-*!!

[@denisvezijak9219]

Beautiful

[@carloseugeniocarlos4287]

Mikael is a legend! My favorite Opeth Song!

[@colinclark1981]

Mine too

[@darksinthe]

that acoustic guitar solo starting at around 4:10.... so much better than the studio recorded song. WOW.

[@krispynachos9980]

Ben Heintz I agree. Sometimes I think Fredrik Akesson doesn't get the credit he deserves in the metal/rock community. Truly underrated guitarist. People would rather be dick riding Synester Gates

[@ChiefRayn]

probably because Avenge is way more popular than Opeth and also Opeth is not the kind of music you find teens listening unlike Avenge which has a broader audience than Opeth, Synester Gates is great guitarist anyways no doubt

[@robin-38-]

Yeah it was exquisite!

[@slowpace1984]

Yeah the studio version had no solo at all so there you go...

[@CKaphwan]

Absolutely!

[@bons244]

So weird to see Mikael and Axenrot playing beside comics and plush toys, coming from Bloodbath live in Wacken performance lol

Absolute superlative.

Mars attacks!

[@moe8885]

Video proof that the cameramen don't care for the bassist

[@colinclark1981]

Well even if he tried to focus on him, he's still hidden by fredrik

[@E_LiveMusicArchive76]

I tried but he was hidden and very hard to get from my viewpoint that's the only reason bassist are very import imho to every band.

[@gandalf8216]

In the coooooorner Beside my windooooow There hangs a looooneeely phooootograaaph Hearing Fredrik getting nervous and playing too hard by mistake, only to play a tad bit too softly afterward, is pure Swedish charm.

[@jeremyb.186]

Sadly I have small hand so I can't pull off the finger stretch as well.

[@forget-me-not9876]

At one time,I thought the dolls would dance and Michael would stop and say,thank you,it's time to leave.

[@Crinklechip-s]

If anyone comes from Leominster MA I'd be interested as to how you pronounce it in America. In England we say "Lemmster". Opeth great as always.

[@sergioschwartzmann5470]

Banda completa.

[@out6493]

guapo!

[@jasajbalal548]

Is the guitar tuned a step up from standard tuning? I notice Frederick doesn't use a capo on this one. I have seen people put a capo on the second string and play from there.

[@colinclark1981]

Nope it's still standard e. They are playing the whole song 1 step lower basically.

[@afoster1621]

Imagine best music and can pick up 2000ad same time. Even Dredd wouldn't judge your darkness. Prob give free pass to cursed earth tho
