Opeth - The Night and the Silent Water (live - Roundhouse Tapes)

[strumpf777]

this is soo damned epic. so emotional and sooo brutal.

[Caneggia12]

When Mikael is growling on sweet melodies like that it looks like a desperate scream.

[PlataniumIdiot]

this recording is always so funny to watch, because of the crowd and what they shout out throughout the performance. The performance is also great.

[izzyalistair]

I can't stop coming back to this song, it's so fucking amazing.

[themoblitz]

True Opeth fans don't have a favorite album.

[izzyalistair]

@themoblitz It's true, someone asked me, then I realized...it's a tie between Blackwater Park, Morningrise, Watershed, and My Arms Your Hearse with all the other ones not far behind...how do you pick a favorite with so much epicness?

[luckyluke193]

@themoblitz My favourite might be Still Life, but then again Blackwater Park is fucking amazing, and Ghost Reveries is mind-blowing too, especially the first 5 or 6 tracks, I felt kind of let down by the end of that album though. The Grand Conjuration and Isolation Years are just lame in comparison to Ghost of Perdition, Harlequin Forest, Beneath the Mire, and Baying of the Hounds.

[thedoors781]

This should have a "Love" Button!

[123121s1]

do you like this? i think it's great

[OpethMadrigal]

DA DADA DADADADA!! How I wish I could hear this song live!!!!!!!!!!!

[DanielBassPlayer1990]

@OpethMadrigal I've heard it live, I can seriously die happy now :)

[BlackHatchl]

This song is absolutely beautiful, musical poetry!!!!

[quinteronanci]

Opeth's bad ass all together but I love when this song start from 2:59 It' sounds AMAZING!

[chromehound1]

0:57, he looks like hes gonna sing something so pretty

then AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[OpethNyu]

OPETH EN MEXICO!, MANITA ARRIBA

[leakimjohansen]

Even better to hear this live!!!!

[leviathandacri]

i remember this opeth!!! now RIP OPETH

[pspvampire]

Does he say it's a doobie song? :|

[Destructerator]

@pspvampire yep, like the doobie brothers

[alfotis]

EPIC WIN after 07:35 :D (one of my favorite Opeth moments EVER)

[karlmoles65]

The last +2 minutes are my favorite in Opeth's history

[ravenouscolonelhart]

my god... I wish they would play just ONE song like this with the death scream in it, these days. Last song every show k mike? I love all Opeth's music but there's something about this kind of harshness that is just awesome.

[swedishbutcher]

im suprised they still play this! i think michael said it was his least favorite opeth song! still kicks ass though

[MrYourdoom]

Now this... is fucking good music

[xkhuongdox]

YOU.SLEEP.IN.LIGHT.BUT.THE.NIG­HT.AND.THE.SILENT.WATER.STILL.­SHO.DARK!!!!!!

[000MidnightSun]

seeing these guys tonight in Columbus! it will be my fifth Opeth show. hooray!

[MrOwise]

SEX !

[perplexedmoth]

LOL AT THE FAT POKEMON AT 0:40

[ThePugnaciousAnt]

OMFG look at the guy in the crowd at 0:40 xD

On topic: This is one of the best songs ever written... So freaking beautiful. Infact Morningrise as a whole is probably the best album mankind will ever witness! Mikael is a genious.

[dougclub1]

@ThePugnaciousAnt I was just about to make a comment about the dude at 0:40. XD

[blackblurable]

@ThePugnaciousAnt I don't know about that. Still Life as a whole album is beautiful too. That shit could be a movie bro. All their albums are awesome!

[ThePugnaciousAnt]

@blackblurable Thats true, but Morningrise is still my favorite! But I have to agree with your first statement, Still life is absolutely amazing, and is definitely close to Morningrise.

[TheWargasmic]

Opeth makes me dick hard, every time.

[blacktepes]

This band looks so cut--- HOLY SHIT THAT GUY SCREAMS LIKE A DEMON

and that's how i made my new house shitting bricks

[DarkMateriaZ]

"It's called the night and the..."

"YEAHHHHHHH !!!!!"

"...silent water" xD

[kevycanavan]

I think mr mikael's voice is far better here than on the recent albert hall DVD

[Hammarby1000]

@kevycanavan

Mike has commented this; the case in the Albert Hall was problems with the earplugs or something so he couldn´t hear himself that simply got him tuned in at wrong voice level.

[DISEIL]

when i started to view this video ,, i realized something's wrong !!! i paused it .... and ran like a fucking NINJA to my closet.... " i forgot to wear my Opeth T-shirt " \m/

[152asdff]

Man crush initiated.

[Brasker]

4:25-4:40 and 7:31-10:08, make me reach Nirvana

[hugopereira14]

@Brasker as much beautiful as 4:25-4:40 might be,it doesn't hold a candle to 7:31-10:08,in my opinion.but hey,this song all around is just perfect,so...

[jorgejorge91]

unos maestros este tema me hace volar

[Antalarion]

00:58 wtf some dude screaming "I love you"

[mannotaurable]

Man those keys just add an extra layer of awseome sauce

[moi302]

I got to say, thanks man for your videos they really convince me on buying the dvd.

I got to say I had a good deal though, this is pretty much the best use you can make with 20 $

[Opethyou]

morningrise for me is their BEST album.. i like the others too but Mornigrise is..WOW..i do not have words..

[andydakilla]

6 people were forced to suck Mikael's large penis.

[JamestheZinHondo]

Everytime I listen to the songs I love by this band, over, over, over, over, over, over and over, more and more confirmation comes on why this is the first band I have ever said and has remained to be my favorite band. The riffs still give me chills no matter how many times I hear them.

[erikpintolopez123]

is this a short version???

[DarkMateriaZ]

@erikpintolopez123 They've cut the outro a bit if I'm not mistaken.

[DoomScytheBand]

Don't Feed the Trolls! lol

[faminesector]

Awesome.

[shadecross]

damn that part from 7:32 to the end is of the best crescendis only the classical masters get better than this ;)

[ChaplainDMK]

09:04 - John Tardy? :D

[PalantirBlackMetal]

The prettiest acoustic section is Opeth's history.

[lulhoofd1]

681 people are complete fags

[hugopereira14]

@lulhoofd1 no,YOU'RE a complete fag.

[sillymonkey829]

What a great song to wake up to!

[jimbobanalbeats]

First time I heard this song was like 10 years ago. I was driving through a blizzard in my North Dakota hometown and the music was perfect for the moment. It definately made me tear up up a bit. One of my favorite Opeth songs simply because of that unforgettable first listen. Keep making great music Opeth.

[juliocrador]

2:56 to 4:58 it kills me. I can´t wait to hear their next album.

[Cobaltpunk]

Omg, so sick.

[zorac91]

the sophistication in the music of Opeth is just something that's impossible to measure...

[Evilfishlord]

this is fucking amazing, vocals are absolutely orgasmic, i hope they play this at Sonisphere

[9burgerwuss]

I love the clean guitars in this song!!!!

[bigboblovejoi]

From 4:10

[hugopereira14]

orgasm.

[metallicarobin]

7:32-8:18 goosebumps :O

[rawdeezey]

fuck my ass. opeth are the best metal band in existence.

[firef1yyy]

I saw yoUR EYEEEES!!!!! Somewhere.

[jrahkala]

'Your face was, like the photograph

Painted white

We did not speak very often about it

What does it matter now?'

My favorite lyrics in any song, ever. It makes me think of the passing of a loved one, and all the things we can never finish saying to those who have passed on. Amazing.

[ZooxYorkxRulez]

meh ive seen better..

[JimInFlames]

03:15 fuck god how can this be so perfect

[gogators432]

goddamn the buildup at the end

[sceprent]

Near end of first switch to clean guitars "I LOVE YOU!"

[chidhumetal1993]

hey people.... i'm new to the opeth fan club..... and its fucking awesome.... :D.... the songs i've listened to are bleak, when and this song.... can anyone tell me some more songs....

[loblit05]

@chidhumetal1993 first rule of the fan club. dont call it a fan club, it sound so gay XD. my favorite song is black rose immortal. best heavy songs are deliverance, blackwater park, the grand conjuration, porcelain heart.

best soft songs are burden, harvest, to bid you farewell, in my time of need.

i recommend that u look for album versions, since the video versions are shorter, and some of the magic is cut

[chidhumetal1993]

@loblit05 lol..... sorry abt that..... thanks for the list man....

[421Roger]

@chidhumetal1993 just type in opeth on the youtube search engine and click away, you wont be disappointed...

[chidhumetal1993]

@421Roger thanx man..... i'm on it.... :)

[TheWargasmic]

7:30  \m/ O_O \m/

[Zapp90]

Arranging organs on this song was like the best thing that ever happened to it. As if it wasn't fantastic already. This is such an awesome live show.

[presunhos15]

0:41 the crazy german kid that plays Counter Strike

[Thiaz88]

repeat from 7:30 again... and again

[Thiaz88]

/:30 repeat from here... again... and again.... and again

[germainetsessaucisse]

0:56 We Love You...WOOOOAAAAHH!!!

[DetNosnip]

@AttemptedManslaughte

No, sadly...Lopez had left by that point. "Lamentations" is the only DVD with him on it and still the best IMO, even if the setlists for this and the new one were amazing.

[MrDubious]

To be in this band, it requires: really long hair, incredible and diverse musical cababilities, and a laid-back attitude on stage with more emphasis on playing your intsrument properly.

[fingerboy18]

LMFAO at around 0:40 there is a ginger that is retarded.

[lastdayinsin3]

go figure, right? haha

[Takeskyggen]

@fingerboy18

yeah that was pretty funny

[NeedHeadMusic]

@fingerboy18 he's just enjoying and feeling the music so fuck off and dont insult opeth fans

[fingerboy18]

@NeedHeadMusic I am a big Opeth fan too, but I don't act like a retard.

[kommisar]

He's more funny than retarded. Cut him a break. Lots of guys do "retarded" shit at metal concerts, and it makes the shows all the better! A lot of people say moshing is retarded.

[fingerboy18]

@kommisar Man, I was just trying to be funny. I love the crazy fans at shows! The thing we can all agree on is that Opeth fuckin' rocks.

[kommisar]

That was your attempt at humor? Uhh....

Yes, Opeth rules!

[sio42]

RIP Mikaels grandad

[sio42]

@AttemptedManslaughte unfortunately no. Its mr axenrot

[ruffunitlm]

1:10 Guy on the left has his mouth open in amazement haha. Can't blame him.

[DamnedArtm3mis]

Any one can tell me what Mikael says at the beginning? The part of "Please enjoy this one, it's a ___ song called..."

[gorecores]

@DamnedArtm3mis he said "doomy song" i guess!...

[ogreroy72]

Hmm... I like Vlad's eccentric hat. It almost makes him look like... A wizard?!?!?! Nice hat Vlad! Greatest music EVER!!!!!!!

[Necromania92]

3:33 ^-^

[cocomayor]

1st verse riff makes me cry is just amazing

[mario4prez]

why isnt fredrick playing on this one?

[sjuktcooltju]

@mario4prez Peter Lindgren plays here. He left and got replaced by Fredrik Åkesson during 2007.

[Colbystrns]

i like the mellotron being used from 3:10

[Colbystrns]

why do 2 people dislike this masterpiece?

[123121s1]

i think it's a wizard??? if you look at it you can kinda see a wizard's hat

[flixization]

@123121s1 lol it's not a wizard dude it's vlad the impaler.

[123121s1]

@flixization could just be a wizard who looks like vlad, if you look carefully at the very beginning of the video you can make out a wizard hat, so it's probably a wizard

[flixization]

@123121s1 Haha ok man you see a wizard, I see vlad the impaler. I've watched this DVD many times and seen the shirt elsewhere. I'm not gonna argue it, enjoy the greatest music. :)

[thomassmith18]

This is my first time listening to Opeth.........this guys vocal style can change faster than lightening....makes it look effortless.......

[123121s1]

vocalist has a wizard on his shirt??

[antihero9911]

@123121s1 no i think it is Vlad Drăculea the historic person behind count dracula

[himalchulicup]

OPETH COME TO nepal

[FeralasHELL]

I have been on this planet for 50 odd years and one of my former students used to listen to these guys, I never really got around to checking them out till now.

Fucking epic! is all I can say.

[xAsThePalacesBurnx]

@FeralasHELL Now that's what I call metal!

[FeralasHELL]

@xAsThePalacesBurnx - I won't argue with that observation.

[cRazyShark00589]

@FeralasHELL salute you salute you man

NOTHING AGAINST OPETH

[FeralasHELL]

@cRazyShark00589 Cheers mate and right back at you.

[JoeSkaterGuitarist]

@FeralasHELL and they're only gonna get better with the new album Heritage! I absolutely love all of their stuff heavy or soft and I'll be seeing them in London on their UK tour in November gonna be fuckin awesome! cant wait

[GitarrSnubben666]

Amazing song, amazing performance, I want to see them live ASAP..

[Lbradsteen]

I love the song on Morningrise, but this performance cements it as my favorite when before I could not pick one.

I honestly do not expect this to ever be surpassed.

[SickDrummer2438]

The last three minutes of this song own a grasp on me that I haven't been able to shake since the first time I listened to this, which was at least a year ago. One of the most passionate things I've heard amongst any musical genre.

[phreestylesk8r]

hahahahaha 0:57 , we love you!

[edsleep]

this song isn't for a mosh, wtf are those guys thinking

[TheSchaeferin]

Rooaaarrr!!! why can't they play that song at here?!

I want iiiiit!!!

[NeedHeadMusic]

I love the calm part!

[NickTorrance237]

There are so many good riffs and harmonies in this song that's it's just unbelievable. This is my favorite album from Opeth. Masterpiece.

[26ale1182]

quanto cazzo è bella sta canzone.. Opeth vi adoro !!!!

[Sevristh89]

One of the most beautiful songs in the musical history.

[Brutal90Death]

This song has some of the saddest and most expressive riffs I've ever heard.. you can almost feel the pain!

[Thystonius]

@Brutal90Death Beautifully said, I agree.

[k5lta]

agreed.

[Aemasone]

@Brutal90Death Black Rose Immortal is pretty good for that as well - I suggest you listen to it if you don't know it already. :)

[WhetstoneUK]

@Brutal90Death Yes! You understand!

[DrumBum561]

@Brutal90Death well Mikael wrote it about his grandfather who passed away. I think that both the lyrics and music make this one of Opeth's most emotional pieces. And also one of their best.

[wolfeman85]

lol "it's a doobie song"

[firef1yyy]

@wolfeman85 That's what I always think he says hahaha

[th1nkman]

I can't believe how good this song is. It's like it resonates with the universe.

[tzizcake]

Opeth EVERYWHERE !!!!

[SaraMlkw]

great.. 

[aligatorsandwitch72]

:42...

THATS NOW HOW YOU PLAY AIR GUITAR GUY!!

[eche1986]

That Tepes shirt is so nice

[TT1086]

Dude at 1:10 with his hand to his face was BLOWN AWAY.

[th1nkman]

@TT1086 So was I and I'm sitting at my computer.

[musiteufel]

The harmony between the guitars is just impressive... i want one of these PRS-woods!

[deadwater46]

Bio69 Thanks for the correction.

[deadbutfree33]

0:42, kill that kid with fire

[th1nkman]

@deadbutfree33 That kid's a badass.

[ploplo81]

From 8:18 to 8:48 it seems there's a fucking electric field created by the guitarists.

They're charging and then they'll EXPLODE.

[lastdayinsin3]

This is what really happens when you divide by zero.

[deadwater46]

Mikael wrote this song in rememberance of the passing of his grandfather. What an epic song! I've had the priveledge of seeing this performed live.

[Bio69]

@deadwater46 Actually, this song's writing merely coincided with the death of his grandfather, hence why he hasn't liked performing it until recently

[jazbii]

i slammed and cried with this song at the same time

[th1nkman]

@jazbii Same here, brother.

[Osafune2]

Majestic.

[NaziAngel23]

don't you ever stop! opeth thanks for being in this world!!

[inopethflames]

opeth = the best band, everyone else is fighting for 2nd, maybe 3rd after sonata arctica.

[headbanger428]

Holy Shit .......ImI

[gastonreboredo90]

Absolutely flawless.

[Corey6781]

Those who would do anything to see you again.... if only for another second...

[Dekrapitator666]

dramatic as fuck

[Technoslyna]

fcking fantastic! As always! There's no live-band like opeth!

[wildwyattswebshow]

This song is about his grandfather

[StealerAG]

the growl at 1:02 shakes my heart.

I've always said that mikael's growls are incredibly expressive.

[JimInFlames]

@StealerAG mine too!

[Thystonius]

@StealerAG never thought that growls could bring me to tears like this!

[inthecommonmind]

7:30 is my favorite part of the song where it just builds and builds.

[burzumsodomkreator]

0:59 some kids says i love you lol

[kevycanavan]

Morningrise is amazing

[giovannilradice]

@ 7:30 GORE! lol

[giovannilradice]

@ 0:58 listen closely. I LOVE YOU!  lol

[magnumclimber]

fucking love this tune.
