I was just about to start a thread about my Opeth concert experience yesterday, but I guess I'll post here.
Opeth just started their tour, and Calgary was the second city they were playing, but just before the tour started the drummer had a mental breakdown and couldn't come.
So the first show, in Edmonton, Opeth didn't even play, but signed some autographs after the opening bands Moonspell and Devil Driver finsished.
For the show I went to the opening acts did extended sets, and Opeth played 5 songs they rehearsed with their drum tech just before the show, none of their death-metalish stuff though, just some of the lighter songs. After that they did an autographing session and I got my hoodie signed =D They were cool guys, I had a little conversation with the singer about Canadian beer, and they complimented me on my hat
I hope their drummer gets well soon and they can swing back to Calgary after the rest of their tour is done for a better show.
