man, you’re doing the Lord’s work... this is unreal. One of Opeth’s greatest songs.

[@MIsweetshadow]

Once again thanks for the upload !! The performance is top notch and the sound quality is just unmatched for a bootleg. Incredible !!

[@InfinityPotato97]

Yeah, it sounds amazing not like bullshit and not recorded with a microwave.

My arms your hearse meets ghost reveries

[@reducetheatoms]

7:29 - 8:00 i can't believe how good that is, sounds so much like the original.

[@williamreynolds3487]

This album has some of Opeth’s best outros. So good

[@Thrasher5251]

Transition into the softer part is just perfect!

[@reducetheatoms]

Respectfully this song is better than the whole BWP album Im kidding. I just believe that info. Not forcing it into anyone.

[@hamishcounsell5579]

4:47 that transition is so much better then the studio version dont know where you found this recording but this is the shit

[@CoolWhipp-hy1qu]

Yeah it’s got the keys in there which sound sick

[@fullmetalguy8357]

I wish they broadcasted the whole show for this night. The bootlegs I've managed to obtain online only have 5 tracks and I would have loved to have heard White Cluster in this quality.

I'm not good at identifying the instruments and the genres Opeth has within their songs but I think I am hearing some instruments they used a lot in the Heritage album (especially the keyboard and the other guitar) and I think the Amen Corner sounds wonderful with those instruments, I wonder what another version of this song would sound like if it has some Heritage vibes incorporated in it. Honestly if Opeth makes a new album and it's a melting pot of My Arms Your Hearse and Heritage I'd be so happy. (Something like In Cauda Venenum i guess ?)

[@finnthehu200]

This is incredible. Such an amazing song, it's a shame they don't play it more often live.

[@reducetheatoms]

Mikael's vocals I suppose... i dont think mikael would like to play a song that would sound bad to his ears ?

[@alessa_cybergoth]

Mikael sounded like a complete beast here!

[@micheldroguett]

Thanks a lot to upload this live record of this superb song

[@JakeAlstad]

can you give us some details on the recording setup you used? (if this is your recording) this sounds amazing!

[@The_Karst]

Thanks! This isn't mine, so I'm afraid I don't know what equipment was used. What I do know, though, is that it was broadcast live on the radio - so must have been taken direct from the mics.

@@The_Karst Only got this song? What is the bootleg of this show?

[@The_Karst]

@@lucelo2112 check out "The Wireless April 2006" and you might find a few links through Google. I've got the rest of the show too - I can upload when I get a few minutes if you're interested?

[@lucelo2112]

@@The_Karst I sure would like the whole show. Thanks for uploading.

[@alessa_cybergoth]

Does anybody here knows what's the name of this painting? It fits Opeth really well. Same goes for Claude Monet's paintings, they fit Opeth really well.

[@Wobbanz]

Whats this painting?

[@reducetheatoms]

I dont know but it's a very nice painting

[@T-mert]

are there any record we can listen from this concert?

[@elon_bust]

Do you have this full show?

[@The_Karst]

Unfortunately, the whole show wasn't recorded - just 5 or 6 tracks. I've put a few up on my channel though!

[@elon_bust]

Where might I find the other two tracks you didn’t put up?

[@reducetheatoms]

​@@elon_bust keep thinking I bet you can find the answer by yourself
