Observaciones De OPETH

Según Blabbermouth.net, los cada días más populares Opeth van a ofrecer varios shows especiales durante su próxima gira norteamericana, bautizados "Chronology MCMXCIV- MMV - A Live Observation By Opeth", en los que tocarían temas de sus primeros trabajos, muchos de ellos nunca antes tocados en vivo. Dichos shows durarían más de dos horas, serían en lugares con asientos, y no contarían con ninguna banda soporte.

Los suecos/uruguayos ya habían hecho algo similar tras la salida de la dupla "Deliverance" / "Damnation" al dividir sus shows en dos secciones (una con el material relajado y semi-acústico, y la otra con los temas más pesados), y el resultado de aquel experimento fue el memorable DVD "Lamentations" (de compra obligatoria para cualquier amante del grupo, dicho sea de paso). Esperemos que estos nuevos shows se graben para un futuro disco en vivo, en lo posible doble.

Sweden's OPETH will hold several special performances, dubbed "Chronology MCMXCIV- MMV - A Live Observation By Opeth", in select U.S. markets on their upcoming tour encompassing material from each of their albums released throughout their career (1994-2005). These shows will be seated, with no support bands and will run for over two hours each with unique production. The markets in which these special nights will be held are New York, Chicago, and there is also a to-be-scheduled special performance in Los Angeles, CA.

OPETH will launch the much-anticipated second stage of their Ghost Reveries Tour in North America, beginning on February 15 in Raleigh, NC. In tow on this outing will be DARK TRANQUILITY supporting directly and THE DEVIN TOWNSEND BAND as openers in February and labelmates DEVILDRIVER as openers in March.

Sweden's OPETH have revealed more information about their upcoming special performances, dubbed "Chronology MCMXCIV- MMV - A Live Observation By Opeth", which will take place in select U.S. markets on their upcoming tour. The shows, which are scheduled for New York City's Town Hall (Feb. 23), Chicago's House of Blues (March 2) and Los Angeles' Wiltern Theatre (March 14), will consist of a chronologically played setlist, starting with music from the very first record, "Orchid", and ending with vibes from the latest opus, "Ghost Reveries". These extended sets are exclusive to the three dates and there won't be any support bands on these nights. OPETH and crew will also bring in extra production and screens in order to try and make this the ultimate OPETH live experience. The band promise a very varied setlist and songs that have never been played live before. The setlist will boast no less than four songs that haven't been performed on American soil and several others that haven't been played for years.
