I can second that about the London show, absolutely amazing. They have been filming it so I hope it will be released in it's entity on DVD.
Highlights for me were Harvest, Harlequin Forest and April Ethereal.

Saw the show last night at The Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles, CA USA. I was speechless. It was one of the best concerts I've seen in the last 20 years. Was as a defining a tour for their generation and genre as was Genesis, Crimson, Camel, PFM, Yes, Pink Floyd was in the 70's at their peak. Unforgettable!

Reason I'm asking is because I bought a ticket for my girlfriend separately later on, as she wanted to make a small city-trip from all of this. But she's not into Opeth (or metal) at all. Would kind of suck for her is she'd be seated by herself then.

My tickets have a row and seat number. If we're actually gonna be seated it's gonna be a pretty weird Opeth gig. Confused Does anybody know for sure if it's gonna be standing or seated?


LOL I had exactly that same question. We Belgians are Royal Albert Hall noobs!

There's still tickets for the London show.
Just got mine and looking forward to it!
My expectations are extremely high.

Stockholm, Sweden sounds just fine by me! LOL
Too bad that they chose Cirkus as their arena. I've seen them recently during the Prog Nation 2009 tour when the band played at Hovet. It was a really nice surprise to hear them perform White Cluster! Clap

Well we're freaks. We saw them twice last year, once in Brussels and another time in NYC on our honeymoon. Romantic Smile
Now we'll see them on a London trip which we were planning for anyway.

If I were you I'd buy the tickets as fast as I can, and if I couldn't go after all, sell them to someone else Smile

The Stockholm show was pretty tempting, but I decided to pass. I'm sure I'll regret at some point.

Yes it's a bit exclusive...
Especially since they will spend the best of the coming 3 months rehearsing, I would expect them to capitalize on it a bit more, but I guess they didn't want to get too involved in touring. Lazy bums!

I agree; no Chicago = LAME. However, since Blackwater park is a phenomenal album, I am excited about whatever live releases may result from this extra pretentious 20th anniversary trendy-city-exclusive mini-tour.
