Opeth - The Leper Affinity (live in San Jose) 2001

[@MetalSoundguy]

This was the last show of the tour, as direct support for Nevermore (who were touring on Dead Heart in a Dead World). The whole tour was amazing, and as the sound guy, I'm pretty happy to have this on my resume.

You're one lucky guy, it must've been amazing to have the opportunity to witness Opeth in person in their best period and with their best line-up.

[@MetalSoundguy]

@@hasko.m I can't believe how amazing it is that I mixed the set 34 or 35 times that tour!

[@lordgraga]

Lopez-Mendez fuckin latino power for the brutal Opeth. Now, it's folklore.

[@mikkedevastation167]

Pure nostalgia , still remember when i saw them in 2003

[@MesmerGW2]

God damn Lopez was on speed that night

[@campe_0p525]

Literally, look at him at 4:38

I enjoy new Opeth as it's own thing, but holy shit -- this energy! Somebody give these guys a cup of coffee and get them on a workout program or some test boosters or something because this brutality is amazing.

Michael Neppel I do not understand this comment at all. Lmao

[@mushfiquemahi9429]

@@TheGuitarifier He said that opeth member these days need some sort of stimulant and shits to regain the insane energy of their old times, such as, this video. They play their death metal songs much slower these days!

Sounds like Heavy Vivaldi, to me 🤗💞

[@PinkFloydrulez]

live music is so awesome

[@Diakonov29]

3:10 classic lopez pattern. awesome.

[@biorythmicshifter]

This is them at the peak of their power in terms of sheer aggressiveness. When that kind of energy is juxtaposed with the serene elements it makes those moments much more impactful. Unfortunately they don’t have this in them anymore although they remain being a great band. I much prefer this era…

[@EnragedSephiroth]

God DAMN that energy!

[@maxeypad]

Saw this tour in Houston.....good times.

[@graveyard13]
