opeth are coming to my home town adelaide this fridaynight, this will be my first opeth gig!!
whats a usual opeth set list? should i expext hard or soft? do they have any crowed fav tracks?

Expect a wide mixture of tracks. Last time I saw them (in November) Morningrise was the only album that wasn't represented- even Under the Weeping Moon from Orchid. There were three from GR if I remember rightly. The Baying of the Hounds was the biggest crowd pleaser, although it was actually my least favourite track of the evening.

It'll be awesome. Opeth are a better live band now than they ever were in the past. I thought that after seeing them 3 times I'd get bored the fourth, but it was the best yet [/fanboy]

You can expect a few classic oldies, but the rest of the tracks are entirely up to their preference. When I saw them last september, they played nothing from Orchid or Morningrise, but pleased me greatly by playing Face of Melinda. You can also expect at least two tracks from Damnation. Which is nice.

Face of Melinda? They never played that for me :x

But yes, Opeth set lists are unpredictable.

Yeah, I know, it totally took me off guard. It's one of my favourite Opeth songs, so I was pleasantly surprised. Mikael did mention that it was the first time they played that song in Belgium though, so it must be a gem they are reluctant to show to everyone

Opeth is Fuckin' great live. I've seen them twice and excellent the two times. Yes, they played from all but Morningrise and the only dissapointment was closing with Deliverance which I did not like very much. They changed a couple of songs and made them into Pink Floyd expriences which was...well, you know! And Mike was pretty funny too!

Highlight: Demon of The Fall!

thanks for that, ive missed the last too times they have played here so im realy pumped to see them, i hope we get Face of Melinda one of my fav songs.
in the last couple of moths we've got some pretty big bands come down to adelaide like Nile, behemoth(diffrent gigs) and soon to see cryptopsy.

Yeah no doubt about it, Opeth is damn sick live, i was really pleased. When i saw them in septemeber they had a pretty good set list a little bit of everything, heavy and soft. Have a blast dude, you'll enjoy it!

i only saw them at sounds of the underground and they surprised everybody by playing one of the songs from Damnation lol.

My mom likes Opeth and she listens to Light FM.

I missed a chance to see them live here in Miami. Might see them when they come around again in 2038. God I hate how no one plays in Miami.
