Opeth - A Fair Judgement (Live at Shepherd's Bush Empire, London)

[@bahahamod39]

i feel so sorry for people who do not know Opeth

[@chewbaccajr.2875]

Opeth changed my life

[@billybishop1997]

Baha Hamod I know them!

[@MR-wy5yk]

Baha Hamod and for people who do not understand Opeth! Feeling this is just for some of us♥

[@defibrilatorr]

Only band that headbanging while I cry.

[@Psychedeloshippie]

druce bickinson HAHAH yes you’re so right haha

[@cudovitja]

Opeth is the best band on Earth. I would say that's A Fair Judgement.

[@ThreeLeftOverCrest]

Not only a fair judgement, but one live at shepherd's bush empire, london

[@morejulo]

People like you move the world

[@Rayzxb]

bum bum ts

[@luhatusebner88]

I totally agree with your judgement

[@DustinTavo]

A fair judgement is served.

[@jaspergillgannon4991]

Lopez plays the drums like he's painting a picture. An astounding artist and musician. It really shows in this performance here

[@explosivx43]

It also shows in Soen 😄

[@gringostarr69]

I didn't respect his playing when these albums where new, but after years I've grown to love it.. He really has his own unique style. Sadly the opeth is no more the same opeth..

[@jaywolbert8235]

For sure, one of the best bands I've ever heard!

[@Auspices1349]

Lopez was part of what made Opeth: 'Opeth'. Edit: Everyone in this iteration of the band made Opeth: 'Opeth'. Over the years I honestly start to believe that the longer the collective length of hair in a metal band is, the better they are/were.

[@Lexcoaster]

Phenomenal musician!

[@Roaxo]

I like how slowly they played it this time.

[@RBFObscure]

Was about to say the same thing. It's better than the album!

[@Gilmour3]

Lopez IS the song....he is in it and it's in him...The greatest drummer Opeth had and will ever have

[@gustavomazonave8536]

Way to underplay every single great musician that has been and is part of Opeth

[@Irelandunited2012]

Camerawork is fuckin epic here too. My god what a performance.

[@AndreLuis-oo6bf]

That's so right. The sound engineer is phenomenal too, great job done✅️🎶🤟

[@hanielshaer8327]

For me it's their best lineup, with Lopez brutality on drums and Lindgren the artist!

[@adriannudelman4519]

oh yeah, totally agreeeeeeeeeeeee!!

[@Irelandunited2012]

YES 100%

[@McSmijens1]

That freak in outro shows that opeth can write a better doom metal riff than most doom metal bands lol

[@yaseen_elolemy]

absolutely agree!

[@breakingawayfromyou]

Pls someone tell about bands that make music like that

[@coda5934]

yami Katatonia, first two albums

[@coda5934]

Onur Kaya he is not asking for a band that sounds like Opeth, he is asking for something that sounds like the outro in this video, just the outro.

[@ccc0909]

That was 100% inspired by Type O. Nobody else plays a slower drum tempo than they did.

[@TheAskald]

I swear these fifteen minutes feel like one. What's crazy is that this gem isn't even one of my favorite Opeth songs. That's how good this band is. Every Opeth song is godlike.

One of their best outros, up there with Deliverance and Harlequin Forest

[@JaviTryxter]

Leave it be.. It was meant for me Soul sacrifice, forgot the advise Lost track of time, in a flurry of smoke Waiting anxiety, a fair judgement deserved

[@hanaleisurfcompany9312]

the verse that sums up one's biggest regret.

my favorite part

[@nescaudrummer]

Opeth is so good it makes me wanna cry

[@Anotherandoman93]

Beat you to it lol

[@lelotomo]

I love how Opeth has that magic feel to its songs. Look at the crowd, everybody is quiet, well... you know what I mean. The jazzy vibe their riffs gives us just makes me appreciate music so much more.

[@wonderwall135]

mikael is so humble. much respect

[@ogulcanyolcu8714]

he were so humble, now he's destroying, roasting, killing us. He's really funny. If Mikael doesn't want to play and just want to talk, that's OK, still that could make my life, not just my day.

[@ScreamBloodyGore145]

I would do anything to see them live with Lopez and Lindgren Axe is amazing but Lopez is...you know...something else. He's John Bonham of our times

[@anzoomantu2216]

agree

[@jamiefalkins5805]

got to see them 2x with Gene Hogland drumming !

[@XTyrannicalX]

People don't quite understand this-- but it's the reality of the musical unity. Lopez brought it all together. It sounds lifeless and barren now.

[@jamiefalkins5805]

I would have to agree.

[@arjundhannyify]

I miss lopez the most

[@benwoodruff6568]

That slowed down doom metal breakdown is so freaking good!!!!!

[@00DemonicAngel00]

06:00 - 06:10 Those ten seconds are destroying my soul

[@manueltorres-fq9hh]

x2 :'(

[@tornoutlaw]

I like how this has an instrumental for the chorus. Nothing's left to say...here :)

[@m3na9]

This is (was) my favorite Opeth lineup, and this particular concert at Shepherd's Bush is prolly my favorite on youtube. Someday maybe i'll see them live... but it won't be the same without Peter and Martin, sadly.

[@chewbaccajr.2875]

They still are so fucking good. I love the way that they play live songs, is equal to the original tracks

[@HanOnkel]

Indeed. It was never the same after the good guys left.. :(

[@soakedbearrd]

Fredrick and Axelrot are great.

[@explosivx43]

​@@soakedbearrd Rip Axe drums :(

[@StealerAG]

Still one of the best songs I've heard ever. And what a performance

[@davidsantana4276]

Wow. Just wow. Every single note seems designed to make a perfect melody. This is an utterly beautiful song.

[@tHazza2745]

tbf if I was there I'd be yelling out "demon of the fall" too.

[@mattman1127]

They played it but couldn't record it because their label only wanted footage of the Blackwater Park, Damnation, and Deliverance albums. They played Demon of the Fall after this, but I can't find footage of it anywhere. Imagine if they recorded it, the quality ahhhh. Thankfully we have the roundhouse tapes.

[@jaspergillgannon4991]

@@mattman1127 It's a damn shame they didn't. It'd be the only hi-quality pro-footage of it with Lopez. Maybe one day...

[@sammyloehnis3373]

@@jaspergillgannon4991 To be honest, I think Axe nailed that song at Red Rocks. Again, I haven't seen Lopez play that song live, but I certainly prefer the Garden of the Titans version to the album version

[@blppt]

@@sammyloehnis3373 Disagree. Axe added a bunch of heavy handed fills in the early part of the song in that performance. Not a fan. His best work that night was probably Deliverance, where when he did add his own flourishes, they all fit perfectly and his double bass was spot on. For my money, the Roundhouse tapes version of "Demon" with Axe was near perfect, if lacking the amazing mix of the Red Rocks blu-ray. And Axe's performance on "Ghost of Perdition" on roundhouse is better than even the album version, IMHO.

[@soakedbearrd]

Theres always that one dude that screams BLACK ROSE IMMORTIAL.

[@danielalexanderpobo]

I watched this whole live show so many times. Most underrated prog metal band of all time

[@hitch4198]

Opeth is really something else

[@arjundhannyify]

The last time these people were together for a live concert! This audience was blessed to have witnessed epicness of the best line up Opeth ever had

[@evenfallabeksylt9271]

The brutal ending must be symbolizing said judgement - harsh yet fair. Awesome song.

[@TheSecondNature]

much better than the studio version. I don't really like the way that distorted guitars were recorded on the album version, both the mix and the sound itself. live it sounds way more intense

[@fum46]

I felt attracted to Opeth for this song, I love the jazz fusion with metal, it's just wonderfully engineered!

[@godlikegaara]

I wish my dad was alive to hear this....he was such a Frank Marino/Zappa/ Megadeth fan I think he woulda loved it

[@ginaca9054]

Te amo Opeth, no hay un día que no los escuché, son esa voz de vida, ese soplo de felicidad

[@mykokano6337]

Empecé a escuchar Opeth hace 6 meses ….es increíble no paro de escuchar temas tras temas…volver a escuchar y descubrir sonidos…sensaciones sentimientos ….lo vi en vivo acá en Chile…son increíbles….no entiendo cómo no los seguí desde antes….por favor escuchen OPETH!!!!canciones que me acompañarán todos los días del resto de mi vida

[@humbertoarceo1821]

Busca los bonus tracks, demos, covers, colaboraciones y proyectos paralelos a Opeth, todo está increíble.

This gig is lightning in a bottle ❤

[@ozzyogkush]

I love the ending riff, gave me goosebumps first time I heard it.

[@johnlennartsson4816]

[@Astrank]

And this is why i love when bands and drummers play without a click track.

[@HattemAlHajry]

Great song and epic performance. The solo is very emotional, especially the 2nd part of the solo played by Peter, even though it was ignored by the cameraman.

[@williamreynolds3487]

I wish they would play and write songs like this or Benighted or To Bid You Farewell. I don’t care about the screaming. I just want this style back.

Anybody else that was around for those shows when Opeth was first gaining in popularity, like '03-'05? Fucking magical times, for sure. I still love Opeth, love what they do now and they are probably a "better" live band now, but dudes... the vibe of the shows from the Deliverance/Lamentations tours? I miss being that young and so impressed with this beautiful music.

Agreed. It's slower, but still heavier at the same time. A doomy feel to it. Fantastic.

11:20 “Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.”

Martin Lopez was so great. I was a metal drummer thinking speed and heavy was everything until I heard him play. The techniques while keeping it metal, just amazing. Totally changed how I felt about drumming

Wow, this is so good! So musical, precise and full of interplay. Gotta love Lopez' dynamic, almost jazzy drumming! I just clicked into a few newer live shows (2015), but stopped them after a few songs. They just seem to shred down their parts nowadays...?

[@daghochi3861]

I don't know how much folks in this show paid for a ticket, but right now in 2024 and after 13 years since I discovered the band and it became my favorite, and not being able to be lucky enough to see them perform live especially the old stuff, due to my geographical position..
