Opeth -- New York, NY -- May 26th, 2009

Fantastic show. We met all of Enslaved. Apart from Ivar and Grutle, I don't think they speak a word of English, I could be wrong. Either way, here's Enslaved's set:

To the Coast
Fusion of Sense and Earth
Ruun
As Fire Swept Clean the Earth
Ground
The Watcher
Isa

Opeth played a ridiculous show, as always. The set is pretty much the same as all the others. I guess the best part of the night is when we met Mikael and Axe. Both were pretty nice guys, and according to Mikael, they're TRYING to come back in March. Nothing was set in stone, but I guess we'll see. Here's the set:

Heir Apparent
Ghost of Perdition
Godhead's Lament
Wreath
Karma
Hessian Peel
Closure
The Night and the Silent Water
Lotus Eater
--------------------------------------
Fredrik Okesson solo
Demon of the Fall

great times were had.

Opeth has gotten too boring and without the guitar player its really weak

It was the same set for the last show of the tour on 5/27 in DC. They also did the Harvest sing along bit. I was hoping they'd throw in something extra for the last show, but they didn't. Really great show, both bands were outstanding. Though it seemed most of the crowd wasn't that into Enslaved which bummed me out. Almost 2hr set from Opeth was awesome.

No "The Drapery Falls"? That is very surprising!

Fredrik Åkesson is twice the guitarist Peter Lindgren could ever hope to be (and I love Peter!), and an awesome singer to boot. Opeth's backing vocals sound AMAZING live.
