[@lareau6]

fans normaly argue witch song is the best, opeth fans argue witch part of black rose is the best one.

God 2022, what a year! Porcupine Tree back together and playing Anesthetize, and now Opeth finally playing Black Rose Immortal live after 26 years of us asking! Absolutely brilliant!

[@justiceforindia-uz3wy]

27 years later Mikael Åkerfeldt Realise this is actually fun song to play.

[@emreertem8345]

Better late than never..

[@lopolik]

@@emreertem8345 Yes, but imagine if he played it live in the 90s when he could still hit the high pitched harsh screams, damn that would be so epic, like you have the mid 90s versions of ''In the Mist She Was Standing'' with those kind of vocals? Wow, that'd be so epic.

20.11.2022 is the day my dad died, I will listen to Black Rose Immortal in his honour.

[@tylerjacobson8012]

Mikaels growls are so much more polished now. His dynamic voice is back in shape it appears. Must be from having relearn all these songs again. He sounds so evil and deep now. Love it.

[@lolman6916]

Yes his lows sound great!

[@fansee1368]

It's such an improvement from the Sorceress tours, glad he's getting back on his feet again I know he doesn't care about Death Metal anymore, but practicing his growls for the sake of a good show is a nice gesture

[@daghetto101]

​@@fansee1368New Album cooking at 2024. Lets go

[@1Vurgas1]

Im sry no, I dont know what happened to his growls. there is no range, just barfing register.I dont know what changed, he always said he was extremly economic with his growls. is he just out of practise? sad freaking story. he was like a god, now a mere human

[@lareau6]

​@@1Vurgas1His clean voice is much better than the 1996 recording tho. The guy cant just sound like he didnt sang metal for 30 years.

[@apollyonexe868]

Their main roadie just after the 12 minute mark, with his coffee and smile ear to ear watching the crowd enjoy this passage just as much as he clearly does. You can tell their road guy misses Pre-Heritage Opeth just like so many of us. He has that nostalgia ridden smile written all over his face :D

[@apollyonexe868]

Also, I am pretty sure thats the same roadie thats been with them for most of their career. I swear I remember him from waaaaay back in 2004 When they toured here.

[@jochembraad1760]

[@danielalls]

1:37 Pretty great description of the track: "20 minutes of a melodic and kind of Baroque-sounding Death Metal, with a Black Metal and Progressive influence."

It is not meant to be different… The Bassline De Farfalla wrote and we can listen to in Morningrise album was that make me fell in love with Opeth in ‘96 …

[@mohamedbenamara1588]

​@@ColoriDiTeI'm a bass player, and I love both Martin and Johan, yet each one of them has a specific tone, I think that Johan's EQ and bass playing is bolder Than Martin's, especially that he used a lot of time the fretless. Nevertheless, Martin is the best ❤

[@lessthanthreemetal]

I consider this song to be like a standalone EP with separate tracks or "movements" than a single track.

[@Csut555]

14:30-17:25, one of the most wonderfully composed pieces of music ever. It’s meant a huge amount to me over the years and I’m thoroughly delighted to see them finally play BRI live. Amazing

[@siavshiva]

the greatest riff of all-time

[@Bobbynou]

This song is a goddam masterpiece. So happy to be alive to watch this live after all these years. And I fucking love the riff at 8:09

[@thecrypticstench]

This is friggin incredible, never thought they’d ever perform this song live. The live mix is so damn good, as is the recording. And can we just take a moment to appreciate how audible the bass is?! Thanks for recording this masterpiece 🤘🏻🍻

[@bannedfromisrael]

It's always nice that Martin's bass shines through, I find that's usually the case though. The bass in Opeth is integral to each song, nothing is just slapped together.

[@BlackSailPass_GuitarCovers]

So humble, but it's a masterpiece for sure :) All of 'Morningrise' is. It makes me so happy to see them play this song live.

[@td601]

11:59 onwards is my favourite part about Black Rose.

[@taylorlatham5198]

I love this entire song but something about 12:00-14:22 is magical. It defines what in my opinion is so unique about Opeth. How they can go from absolute beautiful harmonies to death metal are both are separate but together and absolutely magnificent. I’ve seen Opeth once im only 30 so I guess you can say a young Opeth fan. No other band will ever top Opeth for me.

[@markblaauw4961]

Ah man, I was there. Probably the best concert I've been to, ever... Very good recording.

[@kashifbrohi3916]

Oh man! I never thought I would get the live version after so long years and finally here it is, it feels like the wait for the fans was worth it as the way it's played live is simply incredible....... I enjoyed every second of it. One of the best metal band ever with multi flavoured music.

Thank you brother for this!!! This is greatness and I never thought I would see the day.

[@lopolik]

oh damn, I saw Opeth twice, once in 2014 and then September 2022, I always wanted them to play Black Rose Immortal, but I hope on the next tour they will come near my place, and will play this song! This is my favorite Opeth song! I never thought they'd play it live, but here it is! Awesome. Instrumentally it's perfect, the Mikael cannot do the high pitched screams like in the 90s, but it's great, it's still so good to see them play this whole song live.

[@shahbaazkhan167]

I was there in the concert in november 2019 olympia theatre dublin and i requested this song. There came a straight no from Mikael. Great to see them perform BRI live. Wish i was there. Seeing forward to hear this masterpiece live once in my lifetime. Thanks Opeth for such a 20 minute magical journey.

[@BrofUJu]

Heard and interview of him where he said he likes the songs for the most part but not the recording of the sound of it as much

[@ajshiv50]

@@BrofUJu the guitar mixing on Morningrise is brutal and jarring to the ears. Any live version of those songs is way better than listening to the actual album recording.

[@branlopgar]

​@@ajshiv50 I think they mixed the album like it was black metal. Including the typical "all treble, no mids, little bass" sound in the guitars. And they had traces of black metal in their sound but not to the point of sounding like it is all BM. Just how the bass didn't get completely buried in the mix is a miracle. And you know a band is special when a song is better enjoyed live than in the album.

man his growls have changed over the years

[@verstarkt2192]

I think they are good no?

[@branlopgar]

30 years can do a lot to a man's voice, specially when he stopped doing them 15 years ago (damn, I feel old). And his growls and screams seem to have recovered some strength, because I remember back in 2015 or 16 when they performed in Wacken, his growls were the weakest they had ever been. At some points in this performance, it did sound like he was still in 1996.
