Opeth - Credence (Record Store Day Performance 2013)

Opeth played a short set as part of Record Store Day 2013 at Newbury Comics in Leominster, Massachusetts on April 20, 2013
Thanks to Opeth, their label, Newbury Comics, and Record Store Day for putting this together!

[@personanongratano1]

I love how Axe's feet are still doing the bass and hi-hat pedals.

[@dirtyduck10]

The ending to this song always gets me, powerful stuff

[@D34TH30RY]

I miss old opeth... such more deep emotions in their songs, well it is just my opinion... but srsly, this song prove it.

[@Alejandroken]

the emotions are different

[@WithASideOfFries]

Endlessly gorgeous.

[@AliTAguero]

One of the best performances by Opeth. They are a unique.

[@AliTAguero]

And the detail of the keyboard is perfect!

[@masagusbudhy]

Thanks for uploading

[@petergoddard1960]

for sure. bloody sublime.

[@DonCorleone851]

i don't know you, but i love you for that playlist!!!!!!

[@AdamMorin]

Hahaha. Enjoy it! I wish I was knowledgeable about video and audio editing back then like I am now. I should revisit the raw footage.

[@magugreech]

This is what I call lucky people! :)

[@GanXDark]

I really wish they would.

[@Claidheambmor]

You're absolutely right, though the addition fo the keyboard makes it sound like Porcupine Tree too. :P

[@istvangyal85]

them lucky bastards! :D

[@goktugergen7356]

they should form a band

[@pineapplepeanuts]

Its the best part of the song ;-)

[@guydelusignan4272]

Fredrick is the next Jerry Cantrell with those harmonies

[@ANGELO123993]

Grandd opeth

[@silentwitness536]

I didnt know Michael Moore was a fan??!

[@2-pistols]

What is that guy in the audience with the hoodie doing he is like blocking the screen cowering over, looking down at his phone all through the first song.Sit the f down and pay attention

[@jesuschrist7250]

Do not speak of djent in the same context of Opeth! This is my next command

[@tcbshaded39]

I was there, sitting around maybe the fourth row and to the right, by Frederik. I cannot describe the depth of clarity from the total effect of the mix and instrumentation. I have never heard a "smoother" sound from any band live. It was time-shattering bliss. Enrapturing sound. And of course I went to the Palladium after that and moshed to Deliverance. It's all just Opeth.

[@CikisHelyzet]

I am still jealous

[@Silkki6]

Fredrik always looks like he wonders if he left the kettle on

[@hass9510]

well done. This comment really got me

[@Ecclesiastes11718]

5:55 to me,that's the Opethest Opeth melody of all time.Just can't get it out of my head,no matter the years...

[@1982boltman]

BlackSketchyThing Truth!

[@robin-38-]

Yep

[@MakoDvLZ]

I remember once me and a friend were playing this song and just about the end he was going to change and i just screamed at him WAIT THE SONG IS NOT OVER YET! you cant miss this part

[@Maniac_987]

It’s the best part. 🤘🏻😌

[@draiverx]

Proof that time travel exists. A flip-flop phone appears in 2013 ....

[@momi1carlos]

- Mikael I love u! - I love you too son! jajajjajajaja

[@momi1carlos]

Lucas Clabellino demasiado groso

[@slowpace1984]

Jaja knip igen va

[@seazonofthefly]

They sound just like Opeth!!

[@talibakhidr6158]

..??

[@thewise1121]

..??

[@mattiapalombi1597]

eheh

[@angarf420]

Lol

[@Dellvmnyam]

Yes, that's beacause they ARE Opeth !!!

[@AndresMetalSubtitula]

Yeah man, to see opeth in a small place with a few people, right there in your nose like something personal... I would kill to see them live like this,,, good for these lucky people who witnessed this.

[@zackweeks9945]

From 5:20 on is some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard. Amazing.

[@Ecclesiastes11718]

YEEEES that's my favourite part.One of the most amazing melodies i've ever heard

[@magugreech]

Long time ago I read a comment in a opeth video and since that day i think what that person said is the best way to describe this band "Opeth shows in their music what the soul wants to scream, but it cannot"

[@HeyLook287]

Fucking seriously? I never knew this even happened, I live like 20 minutes from that store!

[@lordmorgoth7]

Know that feel

[@jasperpatterson818]

Opeth need to come to New Zealand again :/ I didnt even know they existed the one time they've been.

[@vimyyyiy]

Haha....this is so easy for Axe that he's checking out the toys!

[@meionerd_]

Perfect, they are my favorite band

[@Alejandroken]

6:29 the keyboards sounds like a Pink Floyd Echoes song

[@ThePortal101]

I don't get why people have to record with their phones when there's a camera on a tripod shooting this amazing vid. This is a great performance

[@AdamMorin]

Dustin Ruth Actually, this was shot by my friend with a hand-held Canon PowerShot S110 and later stabilized in KZbin.

[@ThePortal101]

Wow he did a good job because it looks like it was done with a tripod mounted camera.

[@avielp]

+Adam Morin Tell that person I love him

[@BrunoLucenadesign]

Love... :)

[@DentApSten]

Adam,If your friend was a sniper man I wouldn't leave home.

[@pineapplepeanuts]

I wouldn't mind it if they went totally acoustic as long as its as morose and melancholic as Opeth can be :-)

[@moma026able]

I love how they're always in perfect shape when playing live. I looked at a lot of their live performances these days and every band member is always just playing flawlessly.

[@LunaYsilencio]

Que lindo encontrar esta presentación de Opeth con las versiones acusticas! Gracias por subirlas a youtube!

[@MerlinOpeth]

Lara Margot si

[@Ecclesiastes11718]

My favorite Opeth riff!

[@carloseugeniocarlos4287]

Opeth is the cure of my pains! one of the most beautiful songs they ever made!

[@Rychster]

Credence is one of my Opeth favs. I love it! Thanks for capturing this song and others during their visit.

[@Cluless02]

Amazing dark, poignant song. Opeth - Sweden's national treasure.

[@TheRodrocker]

f******** amazing!!!! OPETH just had the pleasure to see them 2 nights in Santiago, Chile. never seen or heard about this gig, but downloading now and ready to enjoy later with some beers at home, hehehehehe.....Cheers Dude for the vids...\m/

[@tylerjacobson8012]

Atmosphere in music, especially in heavy music, is something sorely missing. This song is one of the most evil and melancholic sounding tunes ever because of the atmosphere akerfeldt has harnessed with it. Songwriters need to make music that has atmosphere so thick you can’t help but get swept up in it.

[@ronyshahare1427]

Deserted again. You speak to me through the shadows. Walking in closed rooms, using cold words. Captured by the night. The yearning escapes from my embrace. Strange silhouettes whisper your thoughts, scream your sadness. And they all turned away, unable to face more of this death. Credence in my word. Written in dust, tainted by memories. I confess my hope, recognize my loneliness. Your laughter weeps the truth. Push me into corners. Confirming the epitaph of my soul And displaying the once unknown karma.

[@MetallicOpeth]

the spin they've tossed onto the end of this track is just class so good

[@racerbizoehm]

needs china cymbal

[@GanjaPharmzor]

Djentleman*

[@GanjaPharmzor]

Also, I can't think of a more standard (in opeth-terms) lick than the one that starts on 5:51

[@andreselsuave]

I think i will watch these videos soooooooooooooo many times

[@goktugergen7356]

Come again

[@darthpunk5455]

That dude front left wearing beanie inside out

[@Goshoonkeys]

joakim looks like simon collins with beanie i think xD

[@Roaltar]

Having witnessed this gig on this video I am convinced that Opeth should definitely do an all acoustic unplugged live DVD, like Nirvana and AIC did :)

[@GanjaPharmzor]

It's hard to define their sound in words really..

[@prontera09]

The outtro, wow ....

[@elifhentschel]

Oh I would do anything to be there with them! And I could die from joy really.

[@opethdan2408]

Amazing! How many people were there? I wish I saw them that close and in a tiny spot

[@marciobrandaoo]

Thank you so much for sharing this.Absolutely awesome!

[@AdamMorin]

Márcio Brandão You are quite welcome. Enjoy!

[@mohammedqawi5697]

Wish i was there... they never visit Egypt tho..

[@joshuaaurien3514]

The song can't end until Axe makes the quick Viking face.

[@AndresSotoC]

One of my favorites song of Opeth. Thanks for upload!

[@gustavolopezramirez5492]

Que exelente clasico de opeth de verdad me llegó

[@GanjaPharmzor]

Nah, it's the extreme contrast between the distorted guitars and hellish vocals and the clean (acoustic) guitars and clean vocals what makes Opeth sound like Opeth. But ofc, each to his own..

[@du725]

this song...

[@SanchitKumar89]

Omg this is just sooooo amazing :')

[@Goshoonkeys]

as a confession, i had to laugh at this guy closely at the end who had to capture mikeal in 30 photos >_< sry for my f*cked up english dudes

[@pineapplepeanuts]

I responded before but now I understand you. Those dynamics you speak of are indeed a part of their sound, but its not infallible. Watershed wasn't very inspiring (I know I'll get shot for saying that). On the other hand, Damnation is a masterpiece because its so morose and moody, yet it lacks that particular dynamic. Heritage is more varied but devoid of death metal and guess what - its mediocre. Haxprocess and the instrumental impacted me the most but its lacking to me.

[@vincentguzman7364]

wow ..! amazing, hearing that song in this version leaves me speechless and many feelings ... thank you, greetings from Bolivia.

[@WybjornVR]

How the hell was Watershed a joke album? Regardless of what other albums may be their "best", Watershed was a fantastic, fresh, and new album, highly inspired. I love Heritage as much as I love Ghost Reveries and MAYH, but saying "Watershed" was a joke album is ignorant. It's all Opeth and all well written. I also think Blackwater Park is fantastic but likely their most overhyped album. A bit less experimental and a bit more repetitive, but still amazing.

[@Squirrelpants]

I'm fascinated by the maniac in the hoodie in the lower right. At 2:25 he just gets up, appears to be in pain, and hunches over for most of the song.

[@reducetheatoms]

0:32

[@dford192]

This is great! Thanks for uploading this! I was probably only about a "row" or two behind you I think. Great show. :)

[@pineapplepeanuts]

This is just evidence to me that what makes Opeth so great is not so much the clean/harsh dynamic, but just that morose, sad, yet melodic quality that transcends their genre clashing. I didn't really hear a whole lot of it on Heritage, which is why I think so many people are saying that they "don't sound like Opeth." There's merit to that.

[@pineapplepeanuts]

Lol well I gave it my best shot. Glad there's a great band out there like them though. Sorry for the length, its exam week and I'm still stuck in writing mode hehe

[@creepy1507]

the drums sound funny ..

[@Azagthoth12]

This is amazing. Wish they would play in a small setting like this near me.

[@MrHansdeCowboy]

what do you mean with this commercial ?? didnt get connection ( K-nexx ) LOL

[@dford192]

Looked like he was cleaning his glasses or something.

[@andreselsuave]

Wow ! nice audio and video quality... besides the obvious awesomeness opeth delivers :D

[@that1stupidkid613]

For once I feel like the members of a metal band are at least slightly charismatic!

[@chinmay8954]

Man thank you so much for uploading these, so gooood!

[@skalamaz3]

This is so cool any band would do an event like this much less Opeth. Thank you.

[@horatio_]

damn this is unreal, i wish they played at a comic book store near me.....

[@aposlave]

Don't worry he compensates it when playing master's apprentices :D

[@oneemptymag]

Damn that is freaking awesome. Would have been sweet to have been there

[@HeavyJams]

Thanks

[@GanjaPharmzor]

Hahahaha, knew this would happen

[@slapmetalbassftw]

Oh my god! these people are soo lucky @_@

[@6sic6ification]

What's happening to the guy in the gray hoody?

[@GanjaPharmzor]

Mikael is such a gent..

[@MrMike0113]

Is there much of a market for metal in Egypt?

[@stimulak838]

1:55 an old legend bottom right.

[@ivyssauro123]

the song is too good, his heart couldn't take it :/

[@afrozenescape]

Beautiful performance. Thanks for recording it all :)

[@colinclark1981]

That piano outro is so beautiful

[@teawithlecree5328]

I wish I could see them live...

[@psychosis7au]

So sick to see a band do this kind of gig

[@spinnetho]

Absolutely WOW ... I mean... WWOOAAARRHH... :)

[@marcoa.9658]

Wow, one of my fav songs...thnx for the upload.

[@REsearch010]

- Mikael i love you! - I love you too son. :D

[@mattlillis6152]

one of the best all time songwriters

[@goddamneclectic]

Was there... It was fucking killer

[@Teemaino]

The drummer must be really bored
