Opeth - Forest of October. Live at The Royal Albert Hall

I can die happy now knowing that they finally played this masterpiece live , fuck now i'm jealous of everyone at Royal Albert Hall.

Go see them live and you might see them play it again. I've seen them live a dozen times since the late 90s and they've played Forest of October many times.

[@Karpo1]

The memories that now rests in this forest Forever shadowing the sunrise of my heart Wings leave their nest at my coming Swaying away unto the cold glowing sky Dreaming away for a while My spirit sighs in peace Gazing unto the stars Please, take me there I am so alone, so cold My heart is to scarred to glow I wish the sunrise to come Take my soul (away) From this cold, lonely shell I am free From the eternal sea I rose Veiled in darkness on either shore Lost my pride, lost its glow For me the sun rose no more The forest of October Sleeps silent when I depart The web of time Hides my last trace My blaze travel the last universe Like the sights of magic Wrapped in aeons My mind is one with my soul I fall alone While leaves fall from the weeping trees

Something subtle i'd like to point out that is one of the many reasons that makes this band so killer. Listen to the guitars from 2:19-2:20; Fredrik does the most subtle slide down the neck and for the longest time I thought it was Akerfeldt some kind of crazy sounding bend. One of the coolest little moments.

[@andresmarin5328]

The best versions of Orchid, Morningrise and My arms your hearse are the live versions. It´s such a shame the sound quality of the originals. We the fans would love a new master, or a live version of those albums.

[@themerovingian7154]

Morningrise quality is fine.

Morningrise and Orchid I can understand but.. MAYH production is pretty great. Especially for a Death Metal record in 1998 on a smaller label.

[@MegaTattoo79]

no problem with the originals imo

[@matthewrose1203]

I wouldn’t change MAYH at all, the way April Ethereal just blasts a hole through your headphones with a double bass wall of sound is authentic, everything is too overproduced and clean nowadays.

[@tylerjacobson8012]

They all sound terrible. Akerfeldt himself has said this on numerous occasions. Especially morningrise. That album is just terrible sounding. I can’t hardly ever listen to it because of that.

As Mike got the growl from hearing Ozzy do iron Man i take it this fellow doesn't like Black Sabbath either. Great thing about this band is we get it all both nasty & clean & it is what makes Opeth as good as they are . Endless creativity & the passion to not just play but play well.
