Opeth Live at La Loco, Paris September 13th 2005.
Pretty fucking great show although there were a couple of songs I would have liked to hear that weren't played.
Setlist:
Baying of the hounds
When
Deliverance
Hope Leaves
In My Time of Need
The Grand Conjuration
Face of Melinda
Blackwater Park
Demon of the Fall
Pretty solid list, but I needed more material from "Still Life" instead of the two "Damnation" tracks. Two in a row was too much in my opinion. Mikael's voice was top notch this evening, and the drummer from Bloodbath did a good job filling in for Martin Lopez, although at times you could hear him playing things a bit differently. Nothing major, just a little...odd at times
I have to say that the track that impressed me the most was by far "The Grand Conjuration". Some feel that song is OK on the album but I tell ya, it is absolutely amazing live! Runner-up would be Blackwater Park, well-played and one of my favorite Opeth tracks of all-time.
Least favorite tracks would be the two damnation songs. They are good, but I wish they would have played "The Moor" or something else off Still Life instead.
