[@texxxdrummer]

@@AntonNidhoggr having listened to both, I agree that sound was superior on Opeth. I am not much of mixing expert but I tried to explain to myself that with DT there's just too much going on on each instrument at some places, that it's impossible to mix properly :)

[@vonkrakenhaus7772]

@@Khazandar if I may chime in at a much later date, I actually live in Denver, CO. and I've been to one or two, or 30... shows up at red rocks amphitheater, and the acoustics are astounding. I mean the sound is unbelievable. Most live recordings at red rocks are taken right through the board and Need little to no post production. I can't describe it to someone who has never seen a show there, but I'm telling you, aside from tweaking out some crowd and background noise, this is pretty much raw audio.

Man, always impressed by Mikael's guitar playing. He's no shredder or guitar god, but he's far better than most guitarists and that's still underestimating his playing. He's clean, controlled, his solos suit the pieces and are often very cool. But above all that, his compositions are filled with amazing atmospherics, beautiful chord progressions, often heartbreakingly dark or melancholy...

Couldn't agree more! My very early years of life, my dad introduced me to floyd, I found Opeth on a whim in my early teens and the feeling I get from Opeth is the same as Floyd! Also, sticking with Prog, I'll recommend Caligulas Horse, they're an Aussie prog band with clean vocals, start with the song Graves and you'll hear the Pink Floyd influence! Added bonus they also opened for Opeth here in Aus!

[@Dorfnite]

I don't know man, it's not bad but definitely not anything legendary. This mix has many good points, but I can definitely name a few bad ones. Barely any bass, high notes on the guitars are sloppy, soundscape is imbalanced, no harmony between the instruments. It's as if the sound is organic, but at the same time it neither sounds as if you're standing in the audience, nor as if you're listening to it on record -- maybe the producer couldn't decide where to go with it? It's just not there yet. Performance is great tho. Edit: spelling

@@abhishekchaubey903 right, as if Dream Theater wasnt pretentious technical jerking 99% of the time.

[@eriveltonmatos3490]

I agree Abhishek ... Opeth is unlike anything I've heard. I've heard Rush, Dream Theater, Kansas, Genesis, etc. It is beautiful and sad at the same time, brutal and light, perfect ... Hugs from Brazil, and sorry for my english.

[@whyisaac224]

The lights technician are amazing. When this sound thru the big rocks, something magic happens. Great song.

[@GTXWarrior]

Man, I wish I could've been there. Such a musical experience! Opeth remains my only band related tattoo. These guys are everything I'd want in a death / progressive metal band. Atmospheric, heavy, melodic. \m/

[@TheWowcol]

Whoever got to attend this event witnessed one of the greatest moments in the history of the universe.

[@ililiililliliill9498]

Sounds like a studio record Amazing work

[@christopheraran]

AGREED!

[@albertoortizmunoz4616]

Just came to get the link to recommend this to a friend, I've listened to this so many times... And I'm still here, again, until the end of the song. Can't escape.

[@campe_0p525]

that backing vocals: LOVE

[@halladayz]

This band really exemplifies my upbringing with the weirdness of Uriah Heep and the smoothness of deep purple. I'm just in aww of the performance, with a sense of joy just to follow along the cheers of the crowd. Magnificent performance!

[@waynemoran9101]

He has definitely had to train hjs vocal cords to apply a different way of getting those growls to sustain with the more melodic singing. Truly Inspiring ❤️. I love this band.

[@sledgewolf339]

We’ll miss axe dearly. Opeth will never be the same without him. New drummer did a pretty good job at learning the songs and making sure they could still tour but I really don’t think the band will ever be the same.

[@GrowingDank42]

I hope they play Ghost of Perdition when I see them live in November in DC with Mastadon. Got my tickets already and everyday it gets closer I get more pumped!

[@ruzala3172]

Same!!!! Tonight is the night! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@TheParodyOvSparta]

The sound guy sure nailed it. A perfect musical composition such as this one, deserves a perfect live mixing (which is hard to achieve, must be added). Opeth is just incredible, and having the pleasure to listen to it with such a great audio quality, in a live show, it's delightful!

[@thenarcopath488]

Ultra Pissed Off i missed this show... At least i got to see them for my 18th birthday in LA with IN FLAMES. Amazing show.. Thanks Dad & Thank you Opeth, In Flames, the roadcrew, stagehands, lighting cheifs ect!!

[@stskjer]

Just got into Opeth, this performance really blew me away

[@TheAcousticgrace]

Never have i ever seen a band do such an amazing job live. every fucking note was spot on!!! Opeth, you lot are insanely underrated!!!

[@GetzGoth]

Sirius Black on vocals, Hagrid on lead guitar, and on keyboards and backing vocals Ms. Hermionne Granger!

[@JoeParrish]

Flawless performance of a brilliant song. Whenever I hear Opeth I'm reminded how great they are

[@iamtheiconoclast3]

I went to a metal festival once in Toronto. Mastodon was there. GWAR was there. Opeth came on part way through the day after some much heavier bands, and when Mike growled into the microphone I thought the fucking roof was going to come down. Could almost hear the sound engineer panicking, like, crap, I had this set for all the other vocalists.

[@seraphale]

In between seeing them live, I forget how amazing they are live.

[@HIVEMINDxMusic]

what shocks me the most is how @7:03 the bouncers at the front of the stage aren't even headbanging?

[@michalj9503]

As always, Opeth rules ! Amazing performance, great sound, vocals awesome ! Can't wait to see Opeth again !!

[@Jex2112]

I cant believe how amazing this sounds for a live recording, you can hear every instrument clearly, its really awesome.

[@coreystokes8835]

Flawless. Studio sound with stage presence.

[@thedailycyclist9295]

Ive been listening to this song for years and never get tired of it...so EPIC!

[@gallien]

I watch this vid once a day.... it's perfection.

[@Ingwarland]

It is 2020 now and I still regret of missing your gig in Saint-Petersburg... You're f*cking gods, guys. Respect from Russia.

[@melodypebbles]

Chills, always chills down my spine and goosebumps. I love Opeth, this video, and this song. 🖤🤘

[@cynthiatrento2754]

Best live band ever! They sound amazing and just get better with time.

[@daduka]

These guys are geniuses... Just like Gojira and Mastodon.... Best metal bands ever...

[@frankfrohmann1504]

I love this comparison. Fully agree.

[@xyhmo]

Imagine being there and not knowing what they will play next, and then hearing those few first notes... omg, in a moment I will be hit by a wonderful sledgehammer.
