The problem with tthe tech is proof of how professional this band is, 'cause it shows that the sound they make is completely real with no shit backing tracks. I love these guys!!!!
I love the gear malfunction. Sure it takes you out of the moment for a minute but it tuns an otherwise average moment into something more unique and memorable. Life would be so boring if everything was perfect all the time.
Which is why the current trend of locking everything to a grid in the studio is frankly killing music. You might as well just program a computer to play all the instruments and save some time.
I was at this gig and the technical problems weirdly almost made it better! The audience felt Frederik's pain while Mike took the piss! Then the Audience keeping the atmosphere going and finally the massive cheers when the guitar fired up! Tremendous!
9:51 / Fredrik and Per (wherever you are), I applaud you. What a grandious vocal job you did here. I go back to this again and again just to re-experience it.
This must have "sucked." They are in the middle of a process to record this entire song and concert for a new live DVD and something goes wrong with Fredrik Åkesson's guitar. Still they finished it off with a near perfect execution. I cannot wait to get the entire DVD I ordered online for this concert..
@@dorianl7294 he probably is not the kind of guy to be in the first row at opeth. he said in an interview that he doesnt like being surrounded by beer and sweat in the audience
I actually saw him a few years ago in the back rows when Opeth was playing in Israel (where he spent a lot of time, with his collaborations with Aviv Gefen and later Ninet Tayeb), so it is quite possible he came to enjoy them in his home country of England too.
Embarrassing to have just discovered Opeth at my age. Fucking awesome sound. Im sure the his guitar failing was a test to see if the bass player was actually playing : P
Never too late. Imagine all the other things you missed! Be glad to have found this nugget. I'm no spring chicken either, I just think that's how things go. Increasingly, things are in the rear view mirror and you're like "uh... how didn't I see this before?!". The only embarrassment would be to never accept change and new things. You're doing fine.
Enbart Opeth är ett band som gör att man kan skylta med att man är från Sverige. Fyfan va många timmar man har suttit och bara lyssnat med slutna ögon. Min bästa resa är inte utomlands, utan lyssnandes på Opeth
Its absolutely unusual that a frontman names the members that left the band before introducing the new ones. He´s a gentleman and so confident that no problem saying that Per and Martin Lopez left...
The poor editor is doing his best to make the band look energetic and dynamic when they're just standing there. Opeth is a technical musician's band. If we wanted 'action' we'd be watching Van Halen or something!
The fact that there is a mess up in the song makes it that much better I think. Not every show can be perfect and the group seems to have a pretty good sense of humor. I am sure they had a good laugh about it after the show was done. And no one seemed to be too pissed off about it. Doubt a roadie got fired.
This song is so all over the place I love it. One of if not my favorite watershed track. Mikaels solo is one of his best too in this song. Love the clean parts and the funky psychedelic part in this song. It’s a perfect prog metal track.
@@admiraladmirable420 No, steven said he doesn't really go to shows anymore. However, there is another steven wilson lookalike in the luminol live video, so that could have been the guy in this video.
7:00 one and a half min of soundtrouble. Pjuh! I could feel the stress of Fredrik, althogh - Mike were calm and saw it more as a funny blooper I suppose. :D Beast band! I saw them live during their 20 years anniversary at Cirkus, Stockholm. It was a fantastic evening!
It apparently happens quite a bit during their concerts. Strings breaking and equipment mishaps. He's probably used to it. Go watch "Demon of the Fall" from the new Red Rocks DVD/Blu-ray---another minute-long failure.
My friends forced me to buy 'Watershed'... I've never listened to Opeth before so I was affraid... I must say that it was the best way to spend my money !
The liquid is in your throat One hopeless delight After all you fell in love with death Life has aborted All you've had and all you became The night is calling, you pray forth A barren waste is your land Crops they were sown to die This skin is a mirror The eyes hover with ignorance Health runs from your lips Sucked in and safe from the world of sleep All years caring for a liar The barren drift road is winding higher You're a moth too close to the fire You are stuck in a route of confusion Changing and waiting and seeking the truth of it all Fleeting in sorrow Pushing your spirit away Seeking the weakness of the psyche Whispered from the heart of evil Luring them all into despair Resenting the goods of a savior Cries out: "The restless will also... die." A seIection culled from the damned Drawing a lifeline of one A friend died in your room And sought the birth of a follower O brother, you are a killer And you target yourself I wish you had never come back For us to see the beckoning end And the pride of a mother Drawn close in a mother's son And the love from a father Was used by a father's son Over warrior's token Mispoken lives on The language unimportant So fair and so just All the land is taken
I can not believe that the powerful 3 last minutes the audience were like in a mass, almost no movement. Here in Chile the moshpit would have generated clean electricity
Best part starts at 3:13 , questionably the best tune I've ever heard : melodic , eerie , fast , kinda off beat which makes it perfect with shuffling drum part... amazing !!!
"I didn't want to go back to working with tires so we found some new people" I would hope that after almost 20 years touring with a band you would have enough to live off of and wouldn't need to go back to your old day job but still...hilarious point from Mike.
He's gone back to his vocals before this period. He said in an interview he moved to using in-ear monitors either on this tour or just before, which made his clean singing sound great but he couldn't hear his own growls so he had to scream louder and harder just so he could hear himself. But he has said he's gone back to using stage monitors. Seeing them on the 17th, can't wait!
Opeth is awesome. Good job staying classy Fredrik Akesson. I've lost my guitar mid song before and it is frustrating(I accidentally unplugged a pedal with my foot). I did it in a bar in front of like 60 people (I'm a nobody), but damn it, I knew most of them and got heckled a little:)
You obviously don't know Opeth or Mikael very well he's probably one of the nicest dudes ever, the type that if you see him outside a venue before a show would stop to autograph and takes pictures with you
That guitar swap was seamless and professional as fuck! Kudos to Mikael and their tech!
good thing it happened at a time when he's just strumming chords!
+chrisgsauce What guitar swap?
+Shotokan Cyclist exactly that why it was the guitar switching was flawless
I saw it, and was duly impressed.

I can't believe it is one person, first he sings like an angel and then it sounds like the devil's voice, amazing i love him and this song !!!
Méndez is a beast.
mendez is killing it

Handsome and talent, love him !

Mikael should change his name to memekael, since he's pretty much one, not in an offensive way of course 😊
Dude have u seen Peter, the previous guitarist?
@@gunwantiramchandani5431с большим носом?
Holy shit Mikael, fucking voice at the start
Feels so strange to see so many people standing so close together now. What a crazy song though, still kickass after all these years!
Haha a post documenting the biggest scam to people in modern ages.
The guitar swap he does in the beginning. What a fucking legend
In the middle of the song just unbelievable
Wow that bass player is pretty impressive!
Martin Mendez
Opeth is another name for "The Martin Mendez band"
@@rajdeepganguli2274 Mikael Åkerfeldt & Martin Mendez band'
@@Celatra No, is "The Martín Méndez band" 🤣
@@rominajuarez4095 to be fair, no. mikael writes the basslines
Mendez' masterfully soulful bass groove during the funky part feels so in-the-pocket. One could actually DANCE to Opeth at this point in the song.

They could always have left it out from the dvd... but hey, it's great anyway!
agree
Actually, the cameraman accidentally unplugged the power chord for the amp, according to Fredrik
Joel Andreasson now that I think of it that mistake does add a little charm to the video concert.
Joel Andreasson don’t think so. At 2:55 something clearly sounds off so I think it was the guitar
Man, remember when 360p was high def?
2010 man, what a time
😽
7:45, Damn the lead!! The crowd is fucking awesome. Respect!
3:48 For a second I thought that's Steven Wilson rocking out to them in the audience!
Probably was. This is in England and Steven Wilson is not only friends with Opeth but also loves their music.
@@dorianl7294 he probably is not the kind of guy to be in the first row at opeth. he said in an interview that he doesnt like being surrounded by beer and sweat in the audience

You need to check out the album still life if you haven't already.
7:35 I like how Martin just slid back in the shadows when Fredrick's guitar stops working.
I wish they still made songs like this.
Agree. Sadly the last song they wrote that I enjoy
They did it again bro 🤘😁

Bahhh
Bhug laude
mawashigiri gedan for you
Yet the same editor still shows the INSANE DRUMMING only once or twice. Smh
Even though Mikael's growls had really started to go by this point, he sounds absolutely great at 10:49.
This song proves that Opeth is one of the most creative and most extremely talented bands to ever grace this reality! Without Opeth life would suck!

Opeth - Guitar Eater :D
After all you fell in love with death,
Life has aborted.
All you've had and all you became,
The night is calling, you pray forth.
Idk how he has the most satisfying metal voice
his cleans are so pure and lovely...
This is the most smoothest guitar swap in the history.
The blast beating is just fucking great!

One of their Heaviest and sinister songz🤘
Freakin'love it, great lyrics as well🗣
Watershed still is my favourite Opeth album to date. A really close second is Blackwater Park. :)
1:56 I love the guy in the audience that totally predicted the hum right before mikael did it
3:45 the guy in the crowd totally looks like Steven Wilson
Might be him alright, he's british and did a lot of work with Opeth, so he could've been there.

great performance! a legendary metal band. pure rock!!! greetings from MOROCCO
Fredriks switch from clean to brutal vocals always impresses!!Pity about the guitar failures, but that was quickly sorted!!Love this fucken song!!!\m/
You mean Mikeal right? Fredrik is the lead guitarist, mikeal is the vocalist.
MyGagen You're right, I meant Mikeal!
Thanks mate:)Drunk posting while watching Opeth!;)
Haha, all good man we all do that sometimes.

Cheers bud!!
he'd make a good Fredrik too...
Hasta cuando tienen problemas técnicos son del carajo!!! Impresionantes...
sounds exactly like the recording. incredible.
the part 9:05 is so good(drums)
cant stop being amazed by this band...
Every drummer of the opeth line up has been absolutely stunning

Hard fucking core live Opeth. There is a God.
Those vocals were fecking gorgeous.... Amazing band
Amazing professionals both musicians and crew. Love this band.
The liquid is in your throat
One hopeless delight
After all you fell in love with death
Life has aborted
All you've had and all you became
The night is calling, you pray forth
A barren waste is your land
Crops they were sown to die
This skin is a mirror
The eyes hover with ignorance
Health runs from your lips
Sucked in and safe from the world of sleep
All years caring for a liar
The barren drift road is winding higher
You're a moth too close to the fire
You are stuck in a route of confusion
Changing and waiting and seeking the truth of it all
Fleeting in sorrow
Pushing your spirit away
Seeking the weakness of the psyche
Whispered from the heart of evil
Luring them all into despair
Resenting the goods of a savior
Cries out: "The restless will also... die."
A seIection culled from the damned
Drawing a lifeline of one
A friend died in your room
And sought the birth of a follower
O brother, you are a killer
And you target yourself
I wish you had never come back
For us to see the beckoning end
And the pride of a mother
Drawn close in a mother's son
And the love from a father
Was used by a father's son
Over warrior's token
Mispoken lives on
The language unimportant
So fair and so just
All the land is taken
Esmeraldita Flamingo I think you got the last few lines wrong but thank a lot!
GODDDDDD such beautiful melodies! this is so kick ass
Maaaaan I miss this Opeth so much!
10 minutes of pure insanity! Mikael is the best death metal male voice! goosebumps.... I wish he can record my answer machine message! \m/
Damn... Good singer guitar player
Guitar player singer, good bass player, good drummer...
god-tier band!
That's a cool thing to introduce new people!
My fav band!
Holy sh*t ! I love his growling ❤
This is a pretty cool song!. And very well executed live as well. It really works! Hope they play this alot live going forward.
LEGENDARY!!!
Song starts at 1:57 , though I'd highly suggest sticking around for Åkerfeldt variety hour.
Guy at 7:25 does NOT know how to clap...
I can not believe that the powerful 3 last minutes the audience were like in a mass, almost no movement. Here in Chile the moshpit would have generated clean electricity
And in people being robbed by the corrupt security
Doesnt exist publico more energetic than us, south america Ftw.
I just want to attend an opeth concert with old albums
It took me some time to understand what's Opeth about though...
But right now is my favourite band !
I expect to see this one performed tomorrow night here in Denver! Can't wait!
that "son" at 9:53 was Akesson?? damn son, he got some cool stuff going on
The tenor part in the chorus of Pale Communion too
Wow, this is superb! (And thank the heavens I can hear the bass!!!)
Best part starts at 3:13 , questionably the best tune I've ever heard : melodic , eerie , fast , kinda off beat which makes it perfect with shuffling drum part... amazing !!!
One of the coolest songs to trip to.

I'm by no means a fan of heavy metal, but cred where cred is due: These are some musically talented individuals.

yes, they still play older songs in recent shows...
I saw them a moth ago and they played heavy songs from Deliverance, Still Life, Blackwater Park, Morningrise, and Watershed, they're still beasts!
Yeah, i agree. Just listened to a few of their albums last night. Amazing material... they are at a different level that few bands achieve!!!
Sam Castilleja
Very true!
Just listened to another set of their albums... wow. Nuff said!!!
Sam Castilleja
Which ones have you listened to and which ones were your favorites?
I show this to anybody that tells me death metal can’t sing
To be fair, Mikael is an outlier in death metal in having a great growl and great clean singing voice.
I'm going to see these guys in 2 weeks!!! I'm fucking stoked. I should stop listening to them until then but it's hard to do that...
i love the chor at the end.
