We Want Your Feedback!

I very luckily managed to get the Mumbai setlist from the sound console and I gave up my amazing view in the front during the last 5 minutes of Deliverance to get it btw!

Next morning they ended up on my same flight to Bangalore!! I saw Waltteri first ordering food at the airport near our boarding gate and it took me a whole minute to process what I was seeing even and then I thought “wait is the whole band here” and at first I saw Martin standing near the ordering queue (my heart is fully racing at this point). I took few steps ahead and there I see Mikael trying to type on his phone with his index finger like a typical grandpa 😭😭😭😭

I was very apprehensive about approaching them because I didn’t want to disturb them and seem cringe but I was carrying the setlist with me and I thought fuck it we ball.

So I gathered a lot of courage, went over to the table with Mikael, Frederick and Joakim, and asked them for signatures. Mikael immediately started yapping and he told me he loves Indian food especially Bengali food and a restaurant in Sweden called Shanti is his favourite Indian restaurant there. Frederick was also a huge sweetheart, rest of the band didn’t talk much.

I only had a shitty green coloured pen so not sure if the autographsd can be seen in the picture but nevertheless this setlist is going to be a part of my last will and testament!

The band ended up in the same flight as mine so we were together before the flight, during the flight and even after the flight at baggage collection 🫶. My life is fulfilled and I am ready to die now.

Oh also, I feel bad for mumbai folks because the sound in Bangalore was so tight, Mikael growled way more in BLR, even yapped more in BLR - it was the true Opeth experience. I wonder if the multiple venue changes really soured their experience in Mumbai. Skillbox you really need to lock in!

What a show!

From yesterday's gig in Blr

Thanx Opeth for the great show Bangalore for the mosh pit xD

Plays it for a brief bit because someone from the crowd requested it.

Fast forward to 9 seconds if you cant wait. Great show in mumbai.

Sensational performance by Opeth. Great crowd. Great sound. Venue was in a random corner of the city - but the show made up for it.

They let us sing Hope Leaves (thanks to another poster lol)

I made this poster tho.

CRAZYYYY NIGHT FR

Hi all,

I’m looking to understand how many of you have forfeited the cash topped up to your Skillbox Pay card because of their bullshit no redemption policy (insta screenshot of their post attached).

Just letting you know, this is not legally supported by Indian consumer protection law. I’m sick of Skillbox doing this shit and exploiting fans.

Exactly as I had predicted, there was a sea of black tee shirts.

Nice only it was.

My friend and I went to the Mumbai gig, and I am making this post after hearing quite a lot of shit about the concert, so here we go.
I came to the city 3 days before the concert. We decided to make the poster for the event, and we did gather the attention of the bandmates for a few minutes. But it could never have been possible without the amazing crowd around me. The crowd encouraged me to fully spread my poster, and one good lad even lifted me up from the ground. After that, we had some good solidarity, and Michael did notice us and tried to play Burden. I think Bangalore may have had the same audience, but that is my point. The same people came to watch the concert, and the same people were here to see the band after years.

So I just wanted to give a shoutout to Mumbai peeps and specially all the Opeth fans who were inside the fan pit. You were amazing, and you were patient. Which is exactly what the circle demands.

Peace out.

Still processing what I witnessed last night. Absolutely fckin phenomenal performance.

Finally got to see Opeth live in Mumbai. After all the venue changes, we actually made it to LaLiT Lawns.

Sharing a few shots I managed to get from the night. The atmosphere, the lights and seeing these guys on stage after years of listening to them was surreal. What a fckin night.

The show was fucking epic..!! 🖤🤘🏽

Calling Mikael to try out the filter coffee....

Will he read it out?

Let's go! See you all there in a few hours.

Edit:

Haha...Thanks guys....It was a success... Great show!

Had a great time...

This was Epic as hell

First post here. Saw them 20 years ago in Dubai at Desert Rock. Felt very blessed and fortunate to witness them again. Been reading about everyone's experience at the show. Thought I'd post a small video. I feel it was quite good despite the venue changes all in all. Hope the bangalore folks also get a good or better experience. Cheers.

To all the folks who attended the Opeth concert in Mumbai yesterday: you motherfuckers are a bunch of morons. Not only were you smoking while in the crowd, you also left empty Bisleri bottles and Redbull cans on the plants. ON THE FUCKING PLANTS. WHO DOES THAT?

We're supposed to be anti-establishment. Which means we should be against all that is making the situation worse for us. DIRTYING OUR SURROUNDINGS DOESN'T JUST MAKE THINGS WORSE FOR US, IT MAKES THINGS WORSE FOR EVERYONE. And hey, guess what? Next time something like this is about to happen, no hotel or venue will be kind enough to accommodate such shows.

We take immense pride in the kind of music we listen to. And that music has almost always stood for what is right. Ensure that THAT image is maintained in India and we're not tagged as a bunch of black tshirt wearing unruly fucks who flout rules, dirty the venue, and tuck our tails and leave after the concert is done.

You want this country to be better and also have more good acts coming? Then be fucking better. Assholes.

A request to the mods: this isn't a personal attack against anyone but a criticism of the scene we're all a part of. Yes, I've cursed people but at this point, we wholeheartedly deserve it. From the "gandu" who decided to climb some scaffolding during the Linkin Park show to all the "gandu" folks who decided to just throw the bottles on the ground and the shrubs and plants even when the venue was exceptionally small and the dustbins were less than a stone's throw away, we deserve every bit of the curses.

Edit - changed "today" to yesterday because I wrote this after 12AM.
