Opeth Tickets

This was an an incredible show. Opeth was great as always I couldnt be more pleased

Opeth are one of those bands that will leave you with your jaw dragging on the floor, whether you're experiencing them live or listening to their albums. I don't think I've ever seen a more professional or flawless group of musicians, and I've seen a lot of bands in my time. Even if you've never heard their music before watching them live, I guarantee you'll leave the show a fan. Bravo to you gentlemen, and thank you for a great evening.

Another tremendous performance by one of the best metal bands on the planet earth! I'm a lead vocalist in a classic rock band and i love the way Michael can change his voice during the songs.It is amazing the way he does that.I'm working on it.

Opeth is a band who is amazing, simply put. The musical genious that is Opeth is evident through the thoughtfully composed pieces that take the listener on a serious ride. Their progressive influence brings you up, down, into beautifully soothing melody, and within seconds to brutally intense blast beating and gutteral growls that will make your blood curdle. It is just too cool! This show in NYC was my fourth time seeing Opeth (the second time that month, I went to the Boston show on May 2nd as well). The material never gets old. Just seeing these amazing musicians at work is enough to hold anyones attention for hours. Mikael Akerfeldt, the vocalist and guitarist who is the main driving force of the band never ceases to entertain with his witty banters between songs, and always having something interesting to talk about. The band is simply amazing live, and I recommend that anyone who likes progressive music should go see Opeth in a city near you!

There is an amazing atmosphere at every opeth concert, their music is pure Art combine with the energy that all fans share with the band.

My husband and I, had an awesome concert night. Everything was great! At the begining we went to the concert a little scared because we are pregnant, but being there and seeing all the security the concert had and the very well behave people, we had a blast!!! Thanks Opeth! Pregnant women rock too!!

So this was a solo trek because there was no way I could drag rtb or violaleeblue to a heavy metal concert. Black metal. Death metal. As I was watching the bands I imagined the two of them there with the same look on their faces that Woody Allen had when Dianne Wiest took him to CBGBs in Hannah and Her Sisters. The Grand Ballroom is upstairs from the Hammerstein Ballroom at the Manhattan Center. It’s a great space. No where near as cavernous as the Hammerstein, carpeted, balcony, and great sound. When I say great sound I mean it. This was another instance where the bands were loud without being LOUD. Unfortunately there’s the long line to get in, the bag check, the patted down body search, and the taking away of your expensive umbrella, which you’ll never see again because by the time you get to the umbrella table at the end of the night all that are left are the cheap sidewalk vendor umbrellas. The first band was Enslaved, who are a black/Viking/progressive metal band from Norway. Their lyrics are in English, Norwegian, and Icelandic. Most of their songs deal with Norse mythology. I know this because I read their Wikipedia page. All the songs are sung in the guttural black metal voice but even when they switch to a normal singing voice (for the progressive metal sections) I can’t understand any of the lyrics. Musically they’re better than most metal bands I’ve heard but there was still something Spinal Tapish about them. But I think that’s true of most metal. It’s the long hair and the whiplash-inducing head-banging and the clothing that make so many of these bands appear cartoonish before they’ve even played a note. But it’s what their audiences want and what their audiences dress up as also. Except for those in Enslaved and Opeth t-shirts of which there were way too many. What is it with kids today? Like Opeth, Enslaved’s progressive metal is a nice counter to the metal. As many of you know I am not a fan of progressive rock but theirs is definitely more metal than rock. I didn’t think the drumming was very strong but in metal it is the guitar that rules and that sounded great. Band members are Grutle Kjellson (bass, lead vocals), Ivar Bjørnson (guitar, effects), Arve Isdal (guitar), Cato Bekkevold (drums), and Herbrand Larsen (keys and vocals). The keys weren’t very strong either and I think that leads to the sound being more progressive metal instead of progressive rock. Opeth took the stage as the audience was chanting their name. This was as boisterous as the crowd got. They were the politest rock audience I’ve ever seen. More polite than a Lucero crowd. More polite than a Flogging Molly crowd. The band was trying to egg them on a bit but even when lead singer and guitarist Mikael Åkerfeldt asked them to act up a bit, he asked in the most polite way possible. Both bands were extremely polite and they were the boys you’d want to take home to mother. Åkerfeldt also joked with the crowd and teased and played with them quite a bit. Before one song he announced, “We are Opeth. The best band in the world,” with a totally straight face but he almost immediately started cracking up. Fredrik Åkesson (guitar), Martin Mendez (bass), Per Wiberg (keys), and Martin "Axe" Axenrot (drums) make up the rest of this Swedish progressive death metal/progressive rock band. Opeth had a much stronger drum sound and again the progressive rock vocals and music worked as a nice balance with the death metal vocals and music. The keyboards were much stronger here, which is where the progressive rock comes in. The lyrics were in English but I still had difficulty with a lot of them. I did like “Hessian Peel” a lot, which had a really nice guitar. I can’t let this review end without mention of what’s happened this week. The way that I grieve is to make the person very present in my life. I talk with them. They accompany me to work and hang out with me at home. Just as I wouldn’t take rtb or violaleeblue to this show, I wouldn’t take terri-lynn or Jack with me either. But even though I didn’t bring them, there they were. Terri-lynn and Jack were at my side, commenting on the music, teasing me for liking it, and helping me enjoy the wonderful mindlessness of having sound bombard and assault me physically.

I'm happy to say that I've been to several Opeth concert's now, but sadly this one was the worst. The set list was not as great as I was expecting; they went through the set list like they were tired of touring... not to blame them their tour schedule looks intense. But none-the-less they are my favorite band so I'll take a tired Opeth gig any day!!! I also caught Axe's drum stick at the end on the concert... sweet!

The lights go on, and the first words of the concert. "We are Opeth. [Pause] We are the greatest band in the world. This was followed by a solid 2+ hours of hard hitting rock. I'm not typically a metal/prog rock guy, but damn, these guys are good. It's high-energy, fun, a good mixed crowd, just an overall good time. Opeth is worth seeing for anyone who's into either the black metal, prog rock, or even hard traditional rock genre. *PS - he's just a funny guy and you'll piss yourself laughing with the things he says. Everyone knows Whitesnake is the greatest band in the world.

Exceeded my expectation. Only downside was that the mosh pit, as always, eventually descended to the point where only cow-like hulkmen were stalking around and staring malevolently at people. Take a break, man, nobody wants to most with a four hundred pound side of beef. Otherwise, multiple thumbs up.

I was able to see Opeth again at the Regency within 6 months and was far from disappointed or bored. These guys are expert musicians, talented songwriters, and just a solid band. The sound they produce engulfs you in pure bliss. I will not miss an available Opeth show anytime in the near future.

Enslaved opened the show and they were good. They played the opening track from Vertebrae and plenty of older stuff. They also had great rapport with the crowd. Opeth was extremely tight - one of the best sounding live shows I've ever heard. It's clear that invest in equipment and personnel to produce that effect. They played great material. The bummer of the show was the heat. I'm just sick and tired of going to indoor shows in the summer where it appears that not one iota of thought has been to the comfort of the guests.

They where amazing i would go back to the newport to see them again!!

I had a great time of course. When down about 3:30 in the afternoon. I live in corona, so it was on;y about 15 to 20 min from where i live. Got myself a room at the motel 6 nearby, and then took a cab to the show. I know i was going to have some drinks, so i was being good! Anyway the show was great. The only complaint was, that it was to freaken hot in there! You would just be standing there and start to sweat. But it was worth it!!

i've seen opeth at least a half dozen times and each show has been amazing. well, this one was no exception, and arguably sported one of their longest and most diverse setlists i've ever heard them play live. They played a couple songs off the new album "Watershed" as well as a healthy dose of old school Opeth "MR, MAYH" and of course a spattering of hits from the in between albums. My only disappointment was the absence of an "Orchid" track. But the set was easily around two hours, so I definitely got my fill of Opethness. All in all, a great show for hardcore Opeth fans and ones who are just discovering them. Mikael Akerfeldt was humorous and entertaining than ever between songs. If you have any interest in metal, this is a band you must see live.

As always Opeth didn't disappoint. Hypnotic, mesmerizing ... A great time!! True musicians in every sense of the word, their cohesiveness and attention to detail add a specific style and flavor to their music that sets Opeth apart from the rest. Mikael's vocals are sweet and commanding in their own unique way .. always a great show to see!

the show was great. after the show i got to meet the band. got my shirt autographed by the whole band. I can't wait till opeth returns to san francisco.

Great bands in a not so great venue. First time seeing Enslaved and second time seeing Opeth. Overall, I would highly recommend both bands on this bill. The Glass House could use better ventilation. Another down side was the lack of alcohol, which was probably related to the All Ages aspects of the show, but I've been to other All Ages venues where booze was available, so not sure why Glass House did not offer up cocktails for those over 21.

Well Opeth was amazing and enslaved wasnt necessarily for my taste but they were good dont get me wrong. The only real problem i had was that the glasshouse was poorly ventilated thus making it a very sweaty show. Other than that it was a great show with Opeth's song Karma being played for the first time live ever. All in all i got to see one of my favorite bands on my birthday. Was a sick show with a bass solo and guitar solo during the encore and a finisher of demon of the fall. Excellent playing few to no mistakes but what can ya expect from opeth

full house of hard rockers! European metal bands, sounds loud and angry, to me, (I was in the US Army Second Infantry Division) sounded like music to go into battle!! The bar gave me and girlfriend some good drinks, but it wasnt her cup of tea so we left early. I like these kinds of bands (Mayhem like) makes me miss the Ozzfest this year.
