Man this guy wrote some of the most beautiful songs ever to grace the earth

[@thomaszampino6369]

And some of the darkest

[@sawwwru]

And some of the heaviest

[@its_Enzo]

he has a special talent of writing perfect outros

[@jopangsae]

and this is one of the best outros written by mikael

[@williamreynolds3487]

So true

[@silverballs9399]

He has a special talent for writing great music

[@perplexedmoth]

Yes, especially the outros. The ending of In Mist, the ending of the whole My Arms Album, etc.

[@paullevine1813]

@@silverballs9399 Not to mention what a fine guitarist he is as is Fredrik & Peter before him.

[@grantgorelay]

they have to play this more often, its such a beautiful song

[@Alilsocialista]

I was there pregnant with my first boy! Taking him to enjoy such great bands! Will never forget this festival! 🤘🏼

[@fcamiola]

Amazing....congrats! Opeth is life

[@Leo._...]

I love how they play this riff live, it's so tight

[@0LionKiller]

This is just so beautiful.

[@TheAdam159]

One of my favourite Opeth songs. Hope its on the setlist when I see them in December!

[@blackblurable]

Still Life, best Opeth album. Strongest album from start to finish.

[@m3lanchol1a60]

nope watershed is

[@_radicchio]

This is my only their album ever loved so much! And I feel for now - forever... let it be so!))

[@ogulcanyolcu8714]

@@m3lanchol1a60 you're totally gay

[@karolosblack]

I agree. Still life is a masterpiece. It was just overshadowed at the time since Dream Theater released Metropolis Part II the same year in ‘99.

[@John34bruh]

@@karolosblacktrue but MAYH is better imo

[@otavio_correia]

Stage Hands: No one's gonna look at this cable mess! Camera Guy: 5:45

[@Gambitheart]

The crowds not dead they are at peace...

[@divdav99]

I was there, everyone around me was singing along.

[@shoujiazhang3691]

The sound of snare drum kills

[@PeterLupu]

I love it how the snare sounds like a bomb at 6:00 :D

[@guydelusignan4272]

Singing whilst playing those guitar parts is God Tier

[@dziobakd]

good memories can't believe it was 3 years ago. Opeth, Metallica, Gojira, Biffy Clyro, Slipknot were my favorite performances of this festival

[@AfroMan5900]

glad to see the new keyboardist is fitting in nicely

[@madeleinebaltazarromero1652]

My favorite album! Still life 🖤🤟🏼

[@djmarkyno1]

absolutley outstanding talent

[@rapidpyre]

benighted could fit perfectly in Heritage

[@moimoi3899]

it's my best song of opeth

[@palemo44]

blow my mind

[@ARom16]

Milkshakes are so fuckin' metal.

[@SApcGUY]

class.

[@shaaaky]

Still life is one of my favorite :D

[@CubeFace69]

Wow that snare sounds amazing, so punchy!

[@fAtsElW0W]

its a pitty to see opeth performing at daytime.. they create their own dark environment though ^^

[@djmarkyno1]

its ashame people these days dont recognise a talented band when they see one anymore. theres not many like opeth

[@john0chev]

@9soad AWESOME!!! :) i miss everyone, back home there's so many chavs, and no-one gives free hugs..... plus there's no OPETH!!

[@john0chev]

i was there :) with a swedish flag

[@JimmyLongboat]

The majority of them left to see Limp Bizkit on the main stage once Opeth finished (allowing me to get straight to the front for Bill Bailey). So you couldn't be more right.

[@divdav99]

5.15, good ol' cup collectors

[@itlivesin]

alway a funny mother#$@!^, Love

[@thatguy088]

just goes to show its more the talent of the player than the quality of the instrument, mikael is using a student edition and it sounds incredible!

[@a1988ditya]

Wat a composition !! Fucking Highness

[@PJyrstinkangas]

I find this high quality.

[@lkjs-si2sr]

Cameraman took the time to film the Milkshake sign lol gj dork

[@decliam]

Front row ftw!

[@julian.castro18]

wowwwww Comus T-Shirt!!! Prog FTW!

[@dziobakd]

haha I was there my fav band.

[@soakedbearrd]

This is as good as the studio version but done live, very good.

[@Snoobroglo30]

I should've been there this weekend. Pff, Summer School. T__T

[@sinarz8768]

How are you doing now after 10 years?

[@blackblurable]

Don't forget Deliverance as well. Watershed is pretty much similar at least to me to Blackwater Park. Still Life, make sure you get that. And if you're hardcore and don't have it, get Orchid. That's classic stuff

[@dewiowen1]

Oooh, it's shaken udder milkshakes. They're damn tasty!

[@php768]

dat comus shirt

[@RLomoterenge]

If I ever form a band, the name will me “Milkshake”

[@josealejandrogarciarojas2218]

Mikaelshake.

[@goofed86]

Hello Castle Donington lol Mikael is fucking awesome.

[@glennielsen]

anyway I can get this entire show in a high quality download?

[@TheAdam159]

@mattais21 Hey which show are you going to? I'll be at the Melbourne gig. Anyone else going?

[@metalbard007]

@mattais21 its sad that majority wouldn't know any of the songs prior to Ghost Reveries :(

[@DrHans]

I was amazed when they played this, at how many Opeth 'fans' weren't bothered by this track. I loved them at Sonisphere 2011!!

[@reducetheatoms]

I love Mikael's guitar, though I wouldn't want to own it, it feels wrong to want to have it for myself. It belongs to Mikael and should always belong to him :3 I just really like the birds on it

[@blackwood4090]

Thanks youtube algoritm

[@Trace6x]

@rickengothic I think it's called, prog.

[@ThePurgatoryfire]

@luckyluke193 I know, i was there trying to enjoy the prog and some DICKS behind us kept charging through doing "ironic moshing" yelling "this is shit!" I was well pissed off. My first time listening to Opeth too, really loved it.

[@paullevine1813]

They were not really fans of the band just morons with blinders on.

[@ofenblase3713]

Have they played it so slowly or is the recording too slow?

[@9soad]

@john0chev I was right beside you!

[@browiththecoolslidyface9709]

8:26 general snus

[@lovedarkbreathe]

@Lateralenima Seems so.

[@YoLpIsBest]

@mattais21 They're Opeth fans, of course they know..

[@philipkeaveney777]

@glennielsen Yeah. go to sonisphere. That's what i did....

[@enzoslashslash]

General Snus at 8:25 ... Swedes

[@ironrushscorp]

@TheSIKKS66 well they only had 50 minutes to play... so they decided to play 5 ten minute songs haha

[@FlappyMcCuddles]

White Snake? Milkshake!

[@goofed86]

Hello castle Donington lulz Mikael is awesome.

[@blackblurable]

Your missing out man. You need Still Life and Watershed on My arms your hearse and dang all of them actually. Get cracking on it, that can be your Christmas present to yourself

[@francismcalister7811]

Are those drum brushes made of rubber?!

[@1992OGW]

@mattais21 i did. :)

[@blackblurable]

That's not the new keyboard player. He wasn't gone til 2 months later

[@linusfotograf]

It is Joakim, not Per

[@TheAdam159]

@luckyluke193 Yeah, I love Opeth, but I hope there's not a bunch of closed minded headbangers there when I see them in December, shouting out BLACKWATER PARK and trying to mosh. I love Opeth's softer proggy stuff just as much as their metal. Heritage should sort out the men from the boys!

[@francismcalister7811]

TheAdam159 how d'you like 'em now?

[@masteropuppetz66]

Uh oh, Axe's drum kit has gotten smaller and looks like Lars'...

[@SRNF]

@Skidbladner i miss per this new guy is fine but he messes up a lot and the backup vocals are meh now. Hope per comes back

[@bjorksven]

@cyclysm748 They look like boots :P Not too rare, I think

[@Lateralenima]

Is the bassist becoming bald?

[@RLomoterenge]

Lateralenima We’re all getting there

[@Thystonius]

The keyboard player is fucking awesome, screw all you people who want Lopez or Per back, Axe totally rocks as well.

[@philobeddoe8342]

😬 They've definitely gotten worse live over the years. Not to mention the crap albums theyve been putting out.

[@ShatteredWindowpane]

Is it just me, or does Joakim seem a little.. Childish? His playing is amazing, but the way his face always is and how he headbangs, it's just.. Strange.

[@linusfotograf]

Strange comment I’d say
