10.14.2005 Opeth/Fireball Ministry

Fireball Ministry opened up the show w/ their brand of mediocre heavier rock. sabbath meets motorhead type of songs was what someone described it as. a big meh was what i though. i think i saw 3 guitarists and no bassist. one of their guitarist was a blond woman who looked like she was having problems playing her guitar while "looking cool" doing it. jerky motions and awkward showy follow throughs after guitar strums.

Opeth. wow. this seriously was one of the best concerts i've seen ever. no joke. had they played drapery falls, it would have been somewhere in the top 2. Mikael commented during the set that he had a "throat infection", but that certainly didn't stop him from going all out on vocals. they played an hour and 50 some odd minutes of pure death metal bliss.

songs played:
baying of the hounds
bleak
when
in my time of need
the moor
the grand conjuration
deliverance
blackwater park

demon of the fall
