- Please enjoy this unreleased video of Opeth playing Moonlapse Vertigo - taken from their show in Melbourne, Australia on April 24th, 2006. The song has not been performed live since this gig.
Mikael Åkerfeldt - vocals and guitar
Peter Lindgren - guitar
Martin Mendez - bass
Per Wiberg - keys
Martin Axenrot - drums
And to think Mikeal wrote this album almost entirely by himself songwise. The man is an actual genius.
And every record from then on, modern day musical genius
still ife songs are so damn hard to play. thats the answer. seen them live 5 or 6 times they played white cluster and thats all ive heard.
@@jasonjenkins6373 Interestingly enough white cluster is easily one of the hardest songs from still life lol.
Favorite song from that album! This is probably the best recording I've found so far.
@@etherealmurmur7141 I really just wanted to see Mikael playing the riff that fades out, and see how he moves his hands
The growls are insane.
I miss Mikael's brutal growls so much.. :(
So disappointing they don't play this song live anymore.
Why ?
@Yıldız buhanoğlu Cuz he cannot growl anymore...
Which is not a very strong argument considering they're still playing Deliverance and Ghost of Perdition... so... I really don't know
He does just fine screaming. Usually half of their setlists consist of pre-Heritage material. This is just one song out 8 albums worth of songs where he screams. Also, I heard it’s a pretty hard song to play.
They've only played it 8 times
@@ag4640 Deliverance, Ghost of Perdition, Demon of the Fall and the likes could be seen as some of their 'greatest hits'. Hence why they continue to play them.
I do get the feeling he's trying to phase that stuff out though.
this is one song that I will always wish I could have seen performed live.
To perform a song of this caliber live with such perfection, Opeth is honestly something otherworldly !
Martin looks so fucking ready, dude. From the start he's already in the power position
Getting to see Opeth in this era was a fucking treat, I tell ya. Saw them seven times starting in 2004.
Hell yes it was
I do appreciate that they still love playing pre-Heritage songs now, especially Blackwater Park, but it’d be great if they occasionally include some material from Still Life for their set list.
Mikael seem to have more fun playing/singing back then :/
damn Opeth play their catalogue live with a lot of integrity. This can't be an easy song to sing or play
One of the reasons I wish I was born before opeth realesed orchid, so I could go see them life when they were in this era
Real
This is one of the favorite Opeth song of mine! Too shame there's no official version of this show. Sounds even better than the original one. (And Axe's hair looks so smooth and shiny. 🤩)
This might be in my top 3 Opeth Songs. Bring it back guys! We wanna hear this masterpiece live again!
I wish i could go back to 2006, what a beautiful year it was. Always sunny, and I was always listening to Opeth.
Always sunny. so true... everything was so green and sunny! World cup 2006 too... one of my best years!
Weird how the song you like most by the band is the one the band leader thinks is not good enough to be worth playing live. Don't get it lol.
One of Opeths best songs, 1999 was such an amazing year to be a melodic death metal fan. In addition to Opeth releasing Still Life, In Flames released Colony, Dark Tranquility - Projector, Tristania - Beyond the Veil, Arch Enemy - Burning Bridges to name a few albums. Such a good year, 95 - 05 was absolute fire for this genre.
that growl tho, fuckin beautiful shit
6:34 that guitar entering here by sliding. Orgasm.
7:10 drum and after that peacefull restful soft vocal. I'm flying mann.
dostum seni birçok opeth videosunda ve bu şarkının only vocal kayıtında yorumlarda görmüştüm. iyi bir müzik anlayışın var :)
I was there.
Powerful song
Sounds awesome!!
6:07 I made the sigh there "Hahhh" lol
Thanks for the upload. My favourite opeth song
We're lucky to have this. To think, they've only played it live 8 times since it was written 23 years ago!
@@The_Karst we certainly are 👍
The good old days.
I tried to tell them to play this a few years ago in SF but Mikael wasn't having it. 😂
Yeah, he must not enjoy it. They played it at all 7 of their shows in 2000, then once at the end of 2001, then at this show. That's it. :(
I wish he did thees songs in his concerts. I can help him with growing, gladly as a second microphone. :)
Same, love the intro
Perfetto!
people singing along with the second riff gave me shivers
The riff at 2:43 is an all-time classic Opeth riff
I know I’m a year late but I had to say that is the ABSOLUTELY MOST EPIC RIFF OF ALL TIME.
@@jake-pw2wm just a reminder for me to re-listen lol
My absolute heroes 🖤🖤🤘🤘
This definitely deserves much more viewer
Thank you!
I love you dude.
This plays into my suspicions that Axe was playing Lopez's kit for this tour---AFAIK Axe has always been endorsed by PDP/DW, and here he's quite obviously playing Tamas, which is what Lopez was playing before he left. I could swear the kit he was playing on the Roundhouse tapes was the same kit Lopez was playing before he left.
Why they don't show Peter che palle
Do you know if this show had an FM broadcast? The previous night was broadcast on Triple J, however only part of the show was recorded and it's missing White Cluster, Baying of the Hounds, Under the Weeping Moon and Closure. I have the bootleg with just the 5 tracks that were broadcast.
They supposedly also played Credence and Night and the Silent Water at this particular show on the 24th, but I can't find a full bootleg of it.
Hey there! Sadly, just the first night had an FM broadcast - and only those 5 songs were saved. There's a possibility the rest are sitting on someone's hard drive somewhere, but they definitely weren't broadcast and I've never found a trace in the last 16 years. Is there a particular track you're looking for?
Edit: duh, just saw that you're looking for Credence and Night and the Silent Water.
@@The_Karst Thanks a bunch for the response! Ah, I suspected as much, otherwise I'd assume they'd have turned up somewhere by now.
To be honest, I was actually looking for HQ versions of Moonlapse Vertigo and Serenity Painted Death (or as HQ as possible). I'm working on a personal project to create live compilations for each Opeth release, and I've been trying to get my hands on as many soundboard bootlegs as I can. I was just hoping there was a soundboard for these two Still Life songs, as I've obtained the rest from different sources. Although now I'd probably settle for A-rated AUD recordings. I would actually love to perhaps ask if you'd be willing to share any of the bootlegs I may be looking for, but I do understand if you're not able to share them for any reason.
Great stuff! Is it Lopez on the drums here?
No, Lopez's last gig was on July 9th 2005. Axe was on the drums by this point!
Did you have more tracks of this gig?
I do! I have the whole show on video, and another (better quality) source on audio. Management has asked me to stop sharing for now, unfortunately. I'm working on it.
Thought this video will be a jebaited moment.
this video is truly Pog
