Getting really excited to see Opeth in February. I am in full bloom love with the new album after a few months of listening to it pretty regularly.
Super excited as well. Iāll be seeing them at the Apollo night 1. While I enjoyed the new album a lot, it did not immediately connect with me as much as Sorceress did. But I only listened to it all the way through 2 or 3 times. I need to give it another spin for sure.
Getting really fired up for Worcester on Monday. Also mildly interested to see if the setlist changes at all for the US leg (which starts Thur).
last night they played āto rid the diseaseā instead of āhope leavesā, so thereās one switch up.
catching them tonight with my girl, how romantic!
Worcester and the Canada shows canned due to Mikeās laryngitisā¦ Ugh. I learned when I got to the venue last night. Really hoping they make the date up because I donāt think I can get to NY this weekend (both shows sold out as well). Major league dart in the balls! Cāest la vie.
I saw their Facebook post. Itās a bummer but hopefully it means theyāll come back soon and hit some other regions and cities, too.
Anyone in need of tix to Fridayās Apollo show? A couple friends and I all have to bail for various reasons.
We have three tix together in Upper Mezz Left, Row A. Looking to get face which was $55.50 per ticket. Willing to sell them off individually or in a pair, if not all three together.
If youāve never been to the Apollo, the mezzanine sections all hang over the orchestra about half way, so even in upper mezz your sight lines and sound are pretty great.
Tickets are electronic so I can transfer to your TM account or email a PDF. PM if interested!
Opeth last night in Denver was mind blowing. This was only the second time I have seen them. The first was a couple years ago at Red Rocks, when it was cold and windy and the sound was terrible. This experience at the Mission Ballroom completely blew that out of the water. The sound was great and the set list was great. Admittedly, I havenāt gotten that into the new album yet, but man those songs all translate live so well.

That is awesome!!! I love all Opeth but donāt miss the growls that much. Sorceress and In Cauda Venenum are tight up there with Still Life, Blackwater Park and Ghost Reveries for me.
I donāt like growls at all, but Opeth is the only band I can actually kinda stomach with them
Happy 20th birthday!!

Such an amazing album!! I go back and forth with Opeth favorites and if you put a gun to my head I would probably say āStill Lifeā by BWP is so close.
Still Life, BWP, and Deliverance are all a tie as the best of their cookie monster phase. Canāt decide.
Also, Deliverance is fucking superb as well.

Agree! If you take Deliverance & Damnation as a single album they way they were intended, I think that would be my favorite. Canāt forget Ghost Reveries eitherā¦ Morningrise and MAYH get overlooked too. So many good onesā¦

I think the title track of Deliverance might be my favorite Opeth song
