GR and Watershed are two of the best albums ever made. Don't get me wrong, I love pretty much everything Opeth, but those two are monumental. I must've had GR on repeat for two years straight. Impossible to tire of, damn masterpiece.

Look at 6:12 min. That change between finger to the pick is not easy at all! This band is completely awesome. Thank you Opeth for givin' us your music. You're on my top 3 favourites Band.

[@PinkFloydrulez]

for anyone who was curious like me, these were the last 3 songs of their set which also included: eternal rains will come cusp of eternity the drapery falls to rid the disease the devil's orchard i, for one, definitely would not have opposed the inclusion of the rest of the set in this video

[@JSMCalder]

[@nikhil10011]

@@soullessSiIence I wouldn't say crap but for me pre Watershed the dynamic was unique with the brutal segments mixed with the clean segements. Post Watershed it's basically just straight up prog/almost hard rock and while I like the music everytime I listen to it I think fuck this could have been another pre Watershed album instead of this.

[@luliby2309]

I've been surprised at the somewhat low views on some of these Wacken performances, but 50K is pretty low, especially for a band like Opeth. Granted, the length is probably a big part of that...but still. What an amazing performance too.

[@gerardwang753]

[@theuniversewithin74]

Thx to In Cauda Venenum I'm going backwards towards Watershed. I haven't really been following them since Watershed, but I now feel guilty, because ICV is a freakin masterpiece. My favorite band of all time. If I had to pick ONE catalogue to bring to another world, it would be Opeth.

[@MrT1o9P9i2]

This is the only band that can grab my attention and have me just sitting and listening to them for tens of minutes. The songwriting and the performance is so good

They should have two drumsets on shows. One for their new shit and one for the good heavy stuff. That proggy 70's sound doesn't go with their real sound, or what it was their sound...

[@danyakba8244]

Juan De Jesus you are funny, did you check your ears or something? *damnation record*, to BID your farewell, benighted, atonement, burden, harvest, hex omega, porcelain heart, credence, the throat of winter etc etc... are they heavy? are those songs "death metal"? nop... are those songs writing in the 70's style? =yes opeth is all about freedom and the use of others types of music. This band is for open minded people and not for metalheads.

[@Juango787]

I'm a musician/producer, not a metalhead. I know what i'm talking about. Their heavy stuff (like i wrote before) doesn't sound good with that sound right there. That's simple listening. Are heir apparent, the grand conjuration & deliverance heavy songs? Yes, and they played em' right here on this video. None of the songs you said are on this video. Not even their new stuff is played on this video.

[@miabennett1363]

Just because you are a musician/ producer, does not mean you are right. Your opinion does not equal fact, in any way shape or form. I personally quite like tone of the drum kit in this video. The snare has a delightful crack, and the cymbals cut through nicely, without being overbearing or harsh. And by your logic, as a musician, who plays in a progressive/ technical death metal band, who also almost exclusively listens to both extreme metal, and progressive rock, I also know what I'm talking about. That said, the whole, "because I am this bullshit means I know what I'm talking about" is complete shit, as at the end of the sound, sound/ tone is completely perspective and one's opinion is just that. It is an opinion and not a statement of fact.

Great performance overall but the only drawback was Mikael's vocals. It's clear all the cigarettes he smoked over the years have come back to haunt him.

[@Celatra]

actually it's not the cigs as much as it was a change on how he approached his vocals, due to getting an in ear monitor. plus at an old age it becomes alot harder to use your full vocal folds.

he s just singing too far from the mic. not even the cigs or the PAs fault.
