One of only a few select shows, to celebrate a career spanning 20 years. All of Blackwater Park in its entirety + an additional full set, performing songs never or rarely played live.

| ______________________________ [Dec 7,2009 12:42pm - Yeti ""] hooollyyyy craaaap. i must go to this. |
| ______________________________ [Dec 7,2009 12:42pm - Yeti ""] GET MARTIN LOPEZ BACK FOR THIS ONE SHOW!!! |
| _________________________________ [Dec 7,2009 12:42pm - Martins ""] There's also a signature Opeth PRS that I think just came out. This show sounds amazing though. |

| ___________________________________________ [Dec 7,2009 12:44pm - MikeOfDecrepitude ""] Johan DeFarfalla back on bass or Opeth are (bigger) pussies! |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 7,2009 12:46pm - arktouros ""] Terminal 5 is an awesome venue |
| _________________________________________________ [Dec 7,2009 12:46pm - boblovesmusic@coolidge ""] ahh hell, I might have to go to this... |

| __________________________________________ [Dec 8,2009 3:27pm - MikeOfDecrepitude ""] Stian Aarstad impersonation = Akerfeldt fail God, this band is so fucking gay and I love them for it. |
| _____________________________ [Dec 8,2009 3:30pm - Yeti ""] this is another band that gets the "gay" label that i can't understand. Still Life and My Arms, Your Hearse are both about women and death. |
| __________________________________________ [Dec 8,2009 3:35pm - MikeOfDecrepitude ""] I might not be into the last couple of records, but their musical accomplishments speak for themselves. People can bash this band all they want. They'll still be wrong, and Opeth will remain champs. |

| _____________________________________ [Jan 7,2010 12:57pm - xanonymousx ""] it's like seeing the boss, but its metal and not in jersey but new york |
| ______________________________ [Jan 7,2010 12:59pm - Yeti ""] i want to, but it all depends on the ticket price. i have been less than impressed lately with Opeth live. |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 7,2010 1:09pm - goatcatalyst ""] I'm almost tempted, but I don't think my frail neuroses can suffer another Opeth audience. |
| _____________________________ [Jan 7,2010 1:11pm - Yeti ""] maybe we can assemble and make them very, very uncomfortable. |
| _____________________________ [Jan 7,2010 1:11pm - Yeti ""] this reminds me, where has Conservationist been? i miss his antics. |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 7,2010 1:12pm - goatcatalyst ""] Will you progrom with me if need be? |

| ___________________________________________ [Mar 8,2010 10:53am - MikeofdecrepitudE ""] So that new Opeth track "The Throat of Winter" is completely lame. Why can't the guy just start a prog side project and not change the Opeth sound? |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 8,2010 10:56am - boblovesmusic ""] this show is sold out apparently (surprise) |
| ___________________________________________ [Mar 8,2010 11:43am - FuckIsMySignature ""] new opeth track? |

Why can't the guy just start a prog side project and not change the Opeth sound? ack. i knew the loss of Peter Lindgren and Martin Lopez would spell the demise of this band. Watershed has lost a lot of appeal to me, it still has some very enjoyable moments but it lacks so much character. i knew the next step was going to be way more boring prog. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 8,2010 1:26pm - dreadkill ""] i think it's a good tune, but by no means one of their best. |

Watershed has lost a lot of appeal to me, it still has some very enjoyable moments but it lacks so much character. i knew the next step was going to be way more boring prog. You mean the loss of two guys that hadn't written any material in years? or in lopez's case, ever? Mikael would have written Watershed regardless of those two being in the band or not. |
| _____________________________ [Mar 8,2010 3:16pm - Yeti ""] i don't know if it would have been as straightforward, especially with Lopez on drums. he had an incredible flair that is completely gone. agreed though, Watershed would still have been written however i think it would have been different. though vocally it still would be mostly singing. |
| ___________________________________________ [Mar 8,2010 3:32pm - neverpurified nli ""] I don't see why everybody is so critical of Martin Axenrot either, the guy is a monster of a drummer. His drums sound incredible on the new record too. |
| _____________________________ [Mar 8,2010 3:37pm - Yeti ""] i just don't think he fits in Opeth. he is phenomenal in Bloodbath, and his other projects. however the flair is gone. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 8,2010 3:51pm - dreadkill ""] i like watershed a lot, but it's nothing to crud your undies over. |

Akerfeldt will always be Opeth. I might not be too enthusiastic about what he's writing these days, but the guy is a master composer. I've never heard anyone write or perform songs the way he does. |

| ______________________________ [Apr 1,2010 10:38am - Yeti ""] the one thing i'm banking on is that it won't sound nearly as good as it would have 10 years ago. his voice has really degraded, and the members that made the songs so intense are gone. and they fuck up some parts in older songs, when they do "The Night and the Silent Water" they always screw up the end, and that's the best part. |
| ___________________________________________ [Apr 1,2010 10:39am - MikeofdecrepitudE ""] You're depressing me =( |
| ______________________________ [Apr 1,2010 10:41am - Yeti ""] GO LISTEN TO OPETH THEN, CAPTAIN SOBBY |
| ___________________________________________ [Apr 1,2010 10:52am - MikeofdecrepitudE ""] Can't. I'll end up putting on older Opeth and it will make me lament for the past. |

| _____________________________________________ [Apr 8,2010 12:20am - MarkFuckingRichards ""] Overall this show was awesome, but Mikael's growls fucking SUCKED until "The Moor." Also, fuck people clapping to the rhythm of songs. I came to hear Opeth, not an off-beat human metronome. |

| ___________________________________________ [Apr 8,2010 12:41am - FuckIsMySignature ""] one of the reasons why I dont particularly care to see Opeth live again. i'd rather just blast my cds through my soundsystem and shoot people in video games. |
| _____________________________________________ [Apr 8,2010 12:47am - MarkFuckingRichards ""] This was definitely the last time seeing Opeth for me, unless they do another show where they play any of the first 4 albums in entirety. |
| ___________________________________________ [Apr 8,2010 12:52am - FuckIsMySignature ""] possible but not probable |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 8,2010 1:30am - goatcatalyst ""] I can't stomach Opeth fans. I probably would have gotten arrested if I went to this show. Such doe-eyed meek cunts. |
| ___________________________________ [Apr 8,2010 2:47am - arilliusbm ""] The fans sucked. Clapping? WTF is that? People giving metal signs with the thumb out? Apple laptop orgies? Mikeal making fun of ex band members? Mike and I stranded in times square? what is going on? |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 8,2010 2:50am - Sacreligion ""] They played The Moor? Awww...AWWW! |
| ___________________________________ [Apr 8,2010 2:55am - arilliusbm ""] They played the Berber as well. |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 8,2010 3:07am - Sacreligion ""] So what do you mean stranded? hahaha |
| ___________________________________ [Apr 8,2010 5:15am - arilliusbm ""] The ass of new york women is what's up. |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 8,2010 8:24am - goatcatalyst ""] I just got a Tweet from Justin Bieber saying that he can't wait to cover "Hope Leaves" and that Opeth changed his life last night even if some tall dude named Aril kept looking at his ass like a bowl of candy and trying to buy him drinks. |

| ___________________________________ [Apr 8,2010 10:52am - arktouros ""] also, limp-wristed clapping to prog rock. sounds like a good time. |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 8,2010 7:30pm - MikeOvDcptvde ""] Highlight for me came when Mikael asked what other bands were on Peaceville. I then proceeded to yell Darkthrone and started a failed My Dying Bride chant which, surprisingly, about 3 other people partook in. |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 8,2010 7:41pm - MikeOvDcptvde ""] Aside from the deplorable crowd, this show was incredible. |
| __________________________________________ [Apr 8,2010 9:01pm - quintessence_nli ""] If you told me 8 years ago that I could of gone to this show I would of shit my pants. Now I just cannot fathom putting up with such faggotry. Kudos to you guys for putting on your blinders and ignoring the crowd to see Morningrise material? that rules. |
