This was my first time seeing Opeth perform live. I ought to say they are really, really, REALLY great live. They went through a couple of songs from their Deliverance album, a couple from the Blackwater Park, and Demon of the fall acoustic version (I kinda like this version better because, for some reason, I feel the darkness of the lyrics goes with the acoustics) ... I don't know if it was their technical crew or just simply Opeth, but the sound quality is beyond words... you could hear professionalism in each song. I totally recommend seeing Opeth live; It's a must see. I guarantee you will value Opeth more than you do it already :D

Brilliant. Devastating. Heavy. Funny. Complex. Shades of light and blackness. All this and more can be accurately used to describe the experience that is an Opeth concert. This is not Kiss. They are not TSO. You are not going to get lasers and pyro. What you will get is a set of ever changing tempos, and intensities. The band is impossibly tight. They go from blistering along like a runaway freight train to a full stop with just a single keyboard note cutting through the silence in a millisecond, and just as suddenly careen off again.

The sound at the House of Blues was full and loud, but not oppressively loud. This was a good thing, and something many bands either don't notice or don't care about , because it allowed the vocals to carry through the din, whether Mikel was growling in his death metal voice, or clean singing. On the whole the sound was balanced. You could hear the different guitar parts, bass parts as well as the keyboard lines and drums. Nothing was pushed overly to the front, and the songs were easily identifiable, and distinguishable from each other.

If you are any kind of fan of complex death metal, you should absolutely check them out if they tour near you.

This was my 7th Opeth concert attended, I will never miss a show when they come anywhere near me. They do a good job of mixing the setlist with both old and new material, as well as changing the songs from tour to tour so each tour is a completely different experience. Mikael Akerfeldt is a great front man in terms of interacting with the audience, and their musicianship is top notch. I would highly recommend attending an Opeth concert, well worth price of admission every time in my opinion.

Opeth's close friends Katatonia were the support act, and are another one of my favorites. I've seen them two previous times as a headliner, and 3 times now in support of Opeth. I would also recommend arriving early to check them out.

These guys are SO freakin' good! I'm amazed that they can play in a venue with only hundreds of people. They (based on talent) should be able to sell out arenas of thousands here in the U.S. I'm a "classic rock guy", 55 years of age, and have traveled with my sons to see Opeth and/or Katatonia on several occasions. Always worth the travel, but particularly great at The House of Blues!

They started the set with a rousing rendition of Ghost of Perdition and it only got better from there -including an acoustic version of the classic Demon of the Fall. All the naysayers that complained the Opeth had gotten soft when they released their latest album (which has a more 70's progressive-rock feel) must now eat their faithless words in shame. Opeth is simply the best metal band of this age because they do a dynamic blend of original death metal, folk and progressive music in timeless fashion without peer.

I just recently discovered Opeth, and found their music to be excellent. It just so happened that they had a show coming up in the area, so I jumped on the opportunity.
They were absolutely amazing! Great sound, amazing performance and interaction with the crowd. I even think they sounded heavier live. Definitely a must-see!
The only reason I gave it a four star rating was because the show started an hour late. Otherwise, great experience!

I've seen Opeth several times, and they have never put on a disappointing show. They have always put on a top notch performance, and this show was no exception. I drove over two hours to this show, and brought my 15 year old niece with me. I introduced her to Opeth's music by letting her borrow my Blackwater Park CD, and she loved it! She really wanted to go, so I took her, and she said they were awesome! I bought her an Opeth hoodie, which is now her favorite, and she wears it to school every day. :-)

Opeth captures the feeling of their albums very well in their live shows, and I would highly recommend seeing them to anyone. Their musical diversity, even within individual songs is incredible. They can go from slow, and melodic to heavy as hell, and back again effortlessly...a talent not many bands possess. Go see them if you have the chance!

Unfortunately, Katatonia, as good a band as they are on CD, were the victims of poor mixing and they just sounded loud and uninspiring despite a lively stage presence. I felt bad for them. I gave them a C-. Opeth on the other hand, being the lead band, got the better mixing for vocals, guitar leads and lighting. I saw them last fall in Orlando and they put on a great show at the House of Blues without any of their heavier, growling numbers. It was disappointing to some though that seemed to be their only complaint. I bought this ticket as a last minute decision and made a work day out of my trip to the State Theater in St Pete. I was wondering if this leg of their tour would bring a change in their set list and I wasn't let down. Although I've heard better shows from a sound quality standpoint, they earned a B+ which is a pretty healthy rating. The night was made better by the phone conversation with my son for the hour and a half ride trip home. He turned me on to Opeth several years ago and I wish he could have been there to see the show with me.

Incredible show! I've been waiting a long time to see either Steven or Opeth live, but I got to see them both only 20 minutes from my home! The musicianship and songwriting of both bands is incredible. Wilson played mostly from the new album, which was OK since it is a great album. The Opeth set was a great mix of new (Devil's Orchard and Haxprocess from Heritage) and older material. Mikael Akerfeldt was entertaining despite being somewhat under the weather. My only complaint was that the set lists were short (7 songs for Wilson and 8 for Opeth) due to the fact that three bands played instead of the normal two. I would rate the concert 5+ stars based on the bands and their performances, but the venue sucks, so only 4 stars overall.

This is only my 2nd time seeing Opeth in concert, the first being the Heritage World Tour in November of 2011, but my god this show was amazing!!! They didn't waste much time with any soft songs. It was pretty heavy from the get go. And Michael was absolutely hilarious! There was a small enough crowd that he could interact with most all of us pretty comfortably and you felt like you were able to connect to the band on a more personal level, especially with him telling his jokes and whatnot.

The only downside I saw was the Norva (concert venue) was rather strict about moshing, so no one in the crowd really got to have the full concert experience. We had maybe 2 or 3 mosh pits during the entire 2 and a 1/2 hour long Opeth set, but there was alot of spilled drinks on the ground so I think it's safer that it didn't get too crazy.

I cannot WAIT for the next Opeth concert!!!

The sound was pretty bad. That's not the fault of the bands or even the sound engineer. The venue is just small and the acoustics are bad. Admirable job, all things considered. I really wish I could give the show 5 stars because Opeth and Steven Wilson both played amazing sets, but the sound...meh.
