Opeth - Atonement (Record Store Day Performance 2013)

Opeth played a short set as part of Record Store Day 2013 at Newbury Comics in Leominster, Massachusetts on April 20, 2013
Thanks to Opeth, their label, Newbury Comics, and Record Store Day for putting this together!

[@mutantcolors]

This is a good one for anybody wondering how Akesson got the job. What a solo.

[@Meshuggapeth]

When Opeth play in this style, they are all the more powerful through their restrained genius.

[@Aaron_Gentry]

Guy in the audience: Did you bring Steven Wilson?
Mike: Yeah of course, he's in my pocket

[@creative_username0176]

😂😂😂

[@Meshuggapeth]

5:36 Mikael perks up and approved Joachim tearing it up on the keys

[@bacloumusic6835]

I see you everywhere i go..

[@trichila6397]

I listened to Atonement on LSD a while back, I swear to fuck I'm tripping again

[@meionerd_]

Hail Opeth, Best band in the World

[@henrymullettaw6571]

Hearty "YEAHH" at 00:47 , great tune loved it.

[@Karinap1974]

I want to be Steven Wilson, just for a moment, so I can get a cuddle. LOL

[@BobTheBuilderx69]

Frederik fuckin kills it!

[@AdamMorin]

Thanks!
Actually my friend deserves all the credit. He shot the whole performance with a point-and-shoot Canon. I'm sure his arms were killing him after but it's definitely worth the effort.

[@dongre_t]

This is from Ghost Reveries and sounds like complete indian style Sitar kind of music. I can also see when he turns the tanpura (which Gives you scale line in the background and played on single string of sitar) on at the Beginning. Opeth is Great,if I need to Introduce opeth to somebody who knows lil bit about music this song would be one of the top 5 Unique Songs which you can hear from a death metal band. Btw Opeth is beyond any Genre boundary when it comes to experimentation.

[@ApoorvPadhye]

I knew the guitar riff felt like the notes of a raag. I'm not learned enough to pinpoint which one, I just like to listen and enjoy.

[@savanan007]

I was just checking comments. I knew someone might be commenting this raaga resemblance in the leads. lydian flavours the deep Indian roots. Thank you.

[@kakarotdb490]

I just love Opeth. The depth they have in their music is unexplainable. Good job guys. Love you all.

[@AdamMorin]

glad to be of service!
actually it was my friend who took the footage but he didn't want to bother uploading it and offered up the files. it was too good not to share! thanks again to Opeth for being awesome.

[@avielp]

Frederik: 2:17 You there, mortal, you may twek me pedals now

[@MrPeerts]

+Aviel he probably wants a little more monitoring is my bet.

[@rohandas2354]

One of my favourite I remember every day after school I would listen to it

[@TNTIV]

Mikael is one funny dude.

[@Michael_Michaels]

The only song that needs no adds or edits and fits perfectly in such close and private performance.

[@nafihasanzahid]

Opeth 💖 best band of the world

[@deldzl]

Legolas is tearing up those bongos.

[@mothernorth64]

I love Opeth! Forever!

[@deathbizcuit]

Man! Fredrik is so cool when he play the ending solos... Thanks for sharing mate.

[@nattyhob]

I love how they continue to update and expand their old songs. Very cool.

[@Meshuggapeth]

Tony Bath yeah like Hope Leaves. Mikael improves the songs mainly by unleashing the superlative talents of the new bandmembers

[@parrottfamily3]

WOW OPETH! You guys never cease to amaze me! Perfection!!!

[@EricMetalhead]

Greatest musical genious of all time!!!! Katy Perry that is...

[@mycreation3]

Humble,brilliant,dark,melodic...🎼

[@maestro2279]

5.24 Fredrik is thinking 'WTF is the guy on keyboard doing?' He seems to be a funny bloke but a very talented guitarist at the same time. Nice to hear the song in this version. Thanks for uploading.

[@timg2727]

I absolutely love this song.

[@leonflint5413]

Atonement is one of my favourite Opeth songs. Thank you so much for uploading this good quality live version of it 🤘🤘

[@creative_username0176]

Ikr, opeth is dope

[@Jin.Yoon.]

A perfect song for the place. You'll never know how much I thank you man. Thanks so much for sharing these!!

[@RockbertoRocks]

I wish audience videos were shot as perfectly as this. Thanks for uploading this!

[@tariqshahrouri4275]

I'm in love with this. Opeth overwhelm me every time ...

[@omairsh8]

Fredrik is such a beast, but man my heart always gravitates to Mikael’s soulful bluesy leads. Like meeting an old friend

[@Goshoonkeys]

it's so great, to hear free improvisation to this song. At the end, Fredrik gave me some Gabor Szabo vibes.

[@istvangyal85]

I'm supposed to go and buy lunch but I cant stop watching these record store vids! Opeth \m/

[@snes.chalmers11-29]

This has personal and nostalgic feelings for me. Back in 2007/8 i was going through a confusing time, my parents were mad at me, had no job, no partner, but this song was strong for me, don't know how else to explain it, but this song helped me be strong

[@rollingrock3480]

The synth player really killed his solo.

[@iramxndez]

Thank you for sharing!

[@Domingarra]

Awesome sound, Adam. Thanks for uploading this!

[@Charnaille]

Their absolute best song to date. And this live version is pure magic.

[@derin8989]

‘’He is in my pocket’’
I knew he would say that 😅

[@carl_lindquist]

Enjoyed this video! All the best!!

[@sviola1160]

Reminds me a little of Within You, Without You by the Beatles :D

[@Meshuggapeth]

Sue Viola Mikael loves the Beatles

[@conorm2540]

definitely, that and Tomorrow Never Knows

[@vicclon12]

I love Opeth, they're maybe my favorite band, they and Megadeth, thank you so much for uploading this. I wish I was there that Saturday.

[@Chlldxprss]

Thanks for this, Adam Morin.

[@pinnicktabor]

Sounds awesome!

[@probjection]

I love the album version, but this one is so much better in a different way

[@Valkiria444]

This is just awesome! This video it's in a very good quality, good job. (:
They don't play that song like too long ago... Thank you Adam!

[@BrokenArts]

One of the greatest bands in the world, there is just something about them playing against a back drop of beanie babies and super hero action figures.

[@geologist5838]

This song takes me to new places, every time...

[@CrimsonThorns]

Even in a small intimate setting without fancy light show & props...Opeth still shines. Love this band.

[@battymo731]

AWESOME!!!

[@VS-ol7rx]

those guys don't need shit to make great music... they can perform in freaking mall and still sound genuine. Not much talent like this is to be found these days... much love from russia !

[@akkalat85]

Nice upload man thanks.

[@aggeliki5z]

Love it!!

[@anmuydarp]

[@savantdisgrace4581]

Dude mad props for uploading!

[@Nina01x]

Just brilliant 👏

[@yesicas.3860]

Beautiful

[@lowwinbehold]

Thanks for this upload dude!! This is fuckin' awesome!!!

[@sonik86]

Was such a great performance, I'm there in the front row

[@deadwater46]

Nice work Adam, it must have been a pleasure to be there.

[@farukdemir1876]

7:55 END IT !

[@omittedband]

Amazing

[@ivyssauro123]

the psychedelic keyboard in the end makes it even better than the original, cool

[@JimInFlames]

amazing

[@saarbrucken2]

5:57 - 7:15 he nails it!

[@TheHoratio09]

They premiered it at a gig I went to in London last November and they've been playing it at every show since :)

[@sezergozutok9546]

MASTERPIECE

[@LeatherCladVegan]

This is my favourite Opeth tune.

[@SriVatsav786]

5:10-6:00...Best ever

[@PiresMachine]

Sensational!

[@metal4bld]

i thought i was tripping on opeth
when the camera started moving

[@MrNarak]

Masterpiece

[@Rychster]

Best band in the world!

[@Opranius]

Playing in front of pink unicorns - like a boss. :-)

[@MrSahincene]

Solos like egypt gams almost

[@TheOvermaster]

They played this song on Tuesday night in Halifax, it was awesome

[@EuriLochus]

"We cuddle."

[@ayaz3465]

Such oriental atmospheric vibes! Absolutely love this version, thanks so much for sharing!

[@gideon1984]

Simplemente los mejores...

[@gstrfst]

No mate, He said after Opeth released Morningrise everybody in Sweden and Norway was coping them (and bands with similar sound at the time). He doesn't hate that lovely record, he just got really tired of hearing ripping offs from Morningrise.

[@devilsrage6041]

I wish u guys come to India for a concert

[@olaaskar6007]

❤

[@afroditimanakou9194]

i missed the chance to be Mikael's girlfriend.....how amazing are they, so simple yet so majestic

[@akatabby]

Wow....wow wow wow...

[@99princeps99]

great sound .. indian dreams.....

[@drums4life80]

❤️🤘

[@andreselsuave]

Yeah the sound is just amazing ... I downloaded them just in case Adam decides to remove them or opeth decides to request youtube to remove them (I dont see mikael doing this, but who knows...) . The material is just TOO GOOD to be lost... amazing quality... im just amazed

[@AdamMorin]

no problem!

[@nicholas72611]

0:31 "Play off Morningrise" lololol.

[@GuSnake1]

How can he make those chorus??

[@stefanburns735]

indeed. cant go wrong there

[@myewgul]

Did mikael say Morningrise was a good record? I thought he hated it.

[@raz0rcarich99]

He doesn't hate it per se. He was just tired of everybody in the scene reproducing that sound (primarily the heavy use of dual guitar harmonies), and therefore My Arms Your Hearse came out like it did.

[@robin-38-]

How do they produce all these tones? Love it

[@metallicrazy8891]

0:40... ooo!

[@thysmayness]

This is awesome! Looks super intimate. How many people showed up?

[@jabberwocky1969]

I showed up late ... No way to get in. 150 lined up maxed it out another 100 behind them. Sounds like Mikael was pleased and I know record shop folks were giddy.

[@ThePelosChanel]

as i see it, those are just parts of a regular drum set. hope that helps :)

[@richoboss22]

Can anyone tell me what's that percussion instrument that Axe is playing?

[@theyabib3323]

this sounds george harrison-ish, ever since my dad said that I cant get that out of my head, great tune!

[@herdavaian]

sounds like Blue Jay Way
