Opeth - Ghost of Perdition “Live” (Reaction) Checking out our 1st Live Opeth Performance!

[@Aj66602]

I was there! The holy trinity lol, Devin Townsend opened, then Gojira, then Opeth. Amazing concert, Opeth is my favorite of all time but honestly Devin stole that show for me, his performance was impeccable.

[@CMDJS]

F*** those 3? Holly sh** 😂😂😂😂

[@sankharaYT]

Wow, one hell of a line up & location. Glad to hear you had a great experience!

[@stepitupandgo67]

You lucky bastard

[@thefluxcapacitor1]

Hey, I was there too! It was 5 years ago today and I just got back to my hotel from seeing Opeth again!

[@alfonsoagren414]

That must have been the grearest evening. Devin and Opeth are my house Gods. Gojura is brutal honesty which I love. I will atleast see Judas Priest next month. Live in Dalhalla in sweden. Another fantastic stage setting with water around the stage. Old mine. 😎🤘

[@insaneasock3156]

The keyboardist adds a whole 'nother level to this already masterpiece

[@DrMcKay66]

Im going to give extra credit to a dude named Magnus who manages the lightshow. Some of it is pre-programmed but most of it is done manually by this amazing guy. 😍

[@Defensive_Wounds]

I have seen Opeth 8 times here in Perth Australia! My guitarist, brother and myself literally bumped into the entire band on a footpath before the latest concert!! It was so cool! We all nodded at them in recognition and casually walked past them... lol We didn't want to do the selfie autograph thing, we thought it'd be cooler to just acknowledge them that way and let them chill before the gig!

[@WorldOfPain666]

I've seen them twice in Perth myself, both times they blew me away.

[@Defensive_Wounds]

@@WorldOfPain666 My favourite one was 2008 when the power went out 3/4 through the gig, the amps and emergency lighting still worked but no strobes etc. Mikael after 10 mins standing on stage wondering what to do, got some torches for the drummer to see his kit, then asked us if we wanted them to continue playing - you know the answer! They did 2 more songs (BWP and Demon of the Fall...lol) The other fave show of theirs was 2019 when I actually bumped into all of Opeth plus 2 security guards on a footpath outside a pub with my guitarist and my brother before seeing Opeth on stage!! We wore custom Opeth teez that I printed myself by hand that are total one-offs!!

[@AbhijeetSingh-ed3lw]

Listen to shepherds bush live concert...even on your time... it is flawless...... this one is production wise better but pre 2008 opeth live is magic!!

[@wesleyb1458]

Yes!!! Lamentations! ❤️

[@reddevil1105]

Masters apprentices is the best live performance by them on Shepard’s bush it’s brutal!!!

[@darkphoenix2]

I had a moment of disappointment when I saw this was Ghost of Perdition again, but you two are too entertaining and I was grinning like a fool within the first minute. It helps that you seem to have barely listened to Ghost of Perdition since you first heard it...which is crazy to me 😅 It's funny, a lot of Opeth fans will crap on Mikael's harsh vocals for how they sound these days, but everyone who reacts to this video is still impressed by how he sounds. You can hear a difference for sure, he's more growly and less screamy, but I think it's just different, not necessarily worse or better.

[@nbrod3n516]

I mean he's almost 50 years old.

[@jasonjenkins6373]

its probably natural as well. the metallica vocals were "screechy" in the early days as well in the 80s. its just a vocal progression. a classical musician does a review on it, the vocals are very relaxed and im guessing its probably for preservation that it closes off early.

[@neelmukherjee9690]

Great reaction! Please do Demon of the Fall live from the Roundhouse Tapes. One of their best live performances!

[@Soonopen1979]

I had the pleasure of seeing Opeth in Detroit back on May 18th of 2003 and met the band after the show (except for their drummer who I watched run from the venue to the tour bus). That was the first time I was ever star-struck. I had a nice little chat with Mikael Åkerfeldt. He told me how he was struggling to quit smoking. I expected Mikael to be a really big guy like most Swedes seem to be, but he’s actually only about 5’6” (edit: I am mistaken, he’s about 6’, I was thinking of the bassist). I love your reactions! See you next time :)

[@AbhijeetSingh-ed3lw]

wtf.... he is easily above 6..... obviously not like skarsgards,zlatan but still 6+

Sweet fav Opeth song why no America who knows they are so good how are they not more popular in America they don't come to Canada but they are popular here just not enough population to make the tour worth it. Mikeal is the most talented male vocalist in Death metal was my fav male lead death metal band ever. Arch Enemy and Opeth were in rotation with Nightwish Cradle of Filth Dimmu Borgir Epica(Sahara Stardust) yeah late teens early adulthood all the time 24 hours a day.

Ooooh what a shame you did the red Rocks version and not the roundhouse tapes DVD live version. His growls are so bad here after many years of doing them.

[@bengaylord1015]

I’ve thought this same thing for a long time. I was at this Red Rocks show and was honestly very underwhelmed. I’ve seen Opeth many other times and his voice is just not the same when it comes to growls. It happens after so many years but still disappointing.

[@reddevil1105]

Believe it or not growl wise compared to years ago these are pretty weak Mikael is always gonna sound good.. if you wanna hear he’s peak vocals go listen Bleak live of the Roundhouse tapes (he does a scream in that what any other metal vocalist would die for) and my personal favourite live performance Masters apprentices live at Shepard’s bush it’s stunning!!!!
