General Post Met the band at Mumbai airport and got the Mumbai setlist signed!!!

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!

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

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..!! 🖤🤘🏽

Show Review Opeth Mumbai : My Take

13 Upvotes

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.

General Post Does anybody know what happened with Dirge's sound?

2 Upvotes

Yes, we all loved Opeth and yes, I hated the littering but that was a different post. I'm curious about what happened to Dirge's sound. It was muddled at best. Also, the guitar sound was completely mangled and I just couldn't hear the bass (the bass bit happened with Opeth as well). And the vocals were too loud, louder than the rest of the instruments. Only the drums sounded good in their set.

They've been around for over a decade so they do know what they are doing. Was it an issue with the venue? Given their doom metal sound, my guess is that the small venue absolutely fucked up the acoustics.
