Opeth - A Fair Judgement - live in Istanbul, June 29th 2003

This performance of A Fair Judgement is taken from one of Opeth's best ever shows - Istanbul, Turkey, June 29th 2003. The crowd was excellent, the band was in good shape, and everyone was headbanging. Enjoy.
Mikael Åkerfeldt - vocals and guitar
Peter Lindgren - guitar
Martin Mendez - bass
Martin Lopez - drums

This might still be my favourite Opeth song. I haven't listened to it in years but this video reminded me why I used to like it so much.

[@The_Karst]

Hey man, thanks for commenting - I haven't seen you on any Opeth boards in a while! I guess time passes...crazy to think it's been 18 years since this came out.

@@The_Karst Hi mate, i think we traded some Opeth stuff recently. What Opeth boards do exist i like to know. Any others then Facebook and Twitter groups?

[@The_Karst]

​@Martifct Hi - so sorry for missing this message! Other than Facebook, the only other active Opeth community these days is on Reddit.

[@Martifct]

This is truly amazing. I was fortunate to see them 2 weeks before this show in The Netherlands.

[@thomster8639]

Amazing performance, thank you for the upload!

[@nielsenjesp]

Saw them live in helsingborg, sweden, later this tour (2003). Got deliverence signed by Per Wiberg, even if he wasnt officially in the band yet. ;)

[@campe_0p525]

Wow that's an audience

[@gxsgdhdhrgdhfhdrdhjdhjtfd]

6:34 That drum fill tho

[@The_Karst]

The fill at 7:33 even impressed Mikael!

[@T-mert]

my place :)))))))))))

[@sanbilge]

Thanks so much, possibly Dutch uploader! I was too young to be in this concert, the interaction seems so satisfying!

[@The_Karst]

Thank you! Not Dutch, but have spent time living in many different countries and Opeth fans are wonderful across the world. This show really was one of their best ever.

[@sanbilge]

@@The_Karst I'm watching your Godhead's Lament upload right now and I have the shivers. I remember how HUNGRY everyone was for metal back then; I'm from Istanbul myself.

[@The_Karst]

@@sanbilge That Godhead's Lament performance is incredible - even Lopez was headbanging at some points. And the crowd!! I envy you my friend - Turkish crowds are some of the best in the world. These are the fans that Opeth deserve.

[@TheAshimaru]

Turn on mono audio on my phone. It's sound amazing seeing this video 👍

[@Hermin43]

Rly nice

[@victornogaroli8642]

Would love to see the whole concert

[@The_Karst]

I've also uploaded Godhead's Lament (the opening song) from this show. Check out my video history...it's been a couple of years but should be there!

[@campe_0p525]

Damn what a beard he had

[@messiah2230]

Do you have the whole show?

[@T-mert]

go search on youtube. it exists

[@The_Karst]

@@T-mert Yes, it's been posted (and taken down) a few times over the last 10 years. Fantastic show!

Still as poignant lyrically as ever & though not a super clear filming as Laminations was the song & the line up of the time show Opeth in fine form & it's a bit strange to hear the crowd sing along with Mike even though the song has some very dark meanings of contemplating your end . Great work from the band & a great crowd to boot. Thanks for the share .
