Opeth - Harvest (Live at the Royal Albert Hall)

[vorcys]

And that is the importance of a good vocalist.

[avarshanidze]

The best possible live version start remake of song, ever

[chaotemagick3]

my favorite band. i feel like they couldve used better guitar tones for this song though

[rzrmayur]

0:35 --> and Mikael !!! here you extracted some orgasms :D ... opeth forever!!

[Alterbridge321]

Such laid back metal. I've been running out of Korn songs and been looking for new bands to listen too. I found one! :D

[SilenTaSSASINsAlient]

@Alterbridge321

Try Porcupine Tree...

[Alterbridge321]

@SilenTaSSASINsAlient I've heard a lot about them. Wanna reccomend a song for me?

[SilenTaSSASINsAlient]

@Alterbridge321

Lazarus

Time Flies

Trains

Blackest Eyes

Arriving Somewhere

My Ashes....and basically all PT songs......

[Alterbridge321]

@SilenTaSSASINsAlient Thanks! :D

[zanwan05]

@Alterbridge321 time flies.

[tatometal]

awsome  song

[space78511]

dame i thought that was pink floyd in the beginning

[kills12kills]

@TheGuanche88 agree



[TheGuanche88]

Acoustic guitar is missing badly. Still great tho.

[Azured665]

I like how there's porcupine tree on the side. Good sign that people on Youtube understand what kind of music goes together. THERE IS STILL HOPE!

[crimsonbard666]

Opeth and Dream Theater is a ear orgasm to me u cant compare them both just watch the Fucking Video people jesus Fucking christ

[pablitkin]

@crimsonbard666

I agree 100%. Glad that you're here, man.

[joshyaurora]

@crimsonbard666 Dream theater are good but not as consistent.Some of their shit is just tastless guitar wankery with no feel imo.

[MrGamerBazer]

@joshyaurora they are systematic chaoes :P I think its great to go off on one like they do. There is soo much exploration and self discovery you can do with it.

[Elbylold]

im the 75000 viver :P

[Martozzi]

@Elbylold me too... O.o

[marorococa]

@Elbylold saammee.... :L

[TheDrico2009]

Five people don't have ears and brain.

[musikmaster]

i cant stop crying,. ive heard this song many times before but never performed live like that with such emotions.. this is absolutely breathtaking..

[wavade]

Seeing them live in a few days.

I am gonna be in tears if they play this one

[janknjazovic]

opet puscaj opet :)))

[Battossai3000]

They should do another version but with Axe using brushes in the snare...that would be awesome!

[bacob20]

AMAZINNN AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING AWESOME AWESOME AWESOMEEEEEEE FUCKING AWESOME FUCKING AWESOME FUCKING GREAT !!!!

Hails From Brazil!

[meskalinmaskin]

@bagenelles yeah. sweden.

[MrMike0113]

I notice that at about 6:00, Mikael seems to change "us" into "(h)ours".

There wasn't really any idea behind this comment, I just wanted to point it out.

[Mardell88]

When I listen to this I feel like putting a kaftan on and dance around a woodland.

[doublefrozen]

5 people were harvested

[HenkkaLover]

this is like listening to god playing music

[akdomun]

@HenkkaLover Mikael Akerfeldt looks like Jesus sometimes, Jesus having a lot of fun

[tjbayliss]

Epic live performance. Best voice.

[joelco92]

I am more and more starting to realize how good of a drummer axe is... very spot on and his fills are badass

Great performance btw never heard them perform harvest like this

[DankieDickie]

@joelco92 Agreed. Was not very open minded about him at first but after a few hundred hours of listening I'm thoroughly impressed. Still miss Lopez, though.

[paintbynight]

this live version is so much different than the one at shepherds bush...this one seems like more 70's laid back with the organ sound in the back ground...



[reactor4music]

Quite an erective song indeed..

[Wrathofkala]

LMAO..................

[alkleiza1995]

The crowd is like, COMPLETELY silent. That does say something about Opeth.

[xKrylancelox]

@alkleiza1995 Music to enojy silently, without mosh, without noise, only chorus by the crowd...

[Eman41297]

@alkleiza1995 DUDE THERe fuckin speechless cause of the fucking amazing music this guys bring to us

[MrMike0113]

@Eman41297 I think that's what he was implying.

[sonic777111]

Mikael is really underrated as a singer. He's a great guitarist of course, but his voice...wow, it's flawless!

[nitrogif]

missing the acoustic guitar :(

[lippix]

AWESOME!!!!!! I want the tabs/chords of this live version!!!!! where can I find them?????

[SevenStringShredHead]

@lippix ultimateguitarDOTcom

[lukejams]

5 people got mesmerized and got confused between the like n dislike buttons !!!!!

[lukerr87]

Best band ever? I'm starting to believe so.

[lzero989]

@lukerr87 Starting?

[theinmortal6]

@lukerr87 Not the best band ever, but, definitely, one of the best bands in the last 20 years.

[YoLpIsBest]

@lukerr87 IMO, there's no single best band, many great ones.

[lukerr87]

@YoLpIsBest Of course, but Opeth are without a doubt, ONE of the best bands in the metal genre.

[YoLpIsBest]

@lukerr87

I don't think about genres much, for me there's music I like and music I don't like.

[Battossai3000]

@lukerr87 I alredy believe so!

[euripappas]

@lukerr87 Hey pal... They can't be the best band ever... Try listening to Dream Theater... You'll understand ;)

[DiamondDimebagDarrel]

@euripappas they are uncompareable...totally different genre...i preffer Opeth :D... and the best band is definitly Pink Floyd!! well that's my opinion :D

[euripappas]

@DiamondDimebagDarrel I've been covering both bands the last two years, and I can see clearly they're both in progressive metal genre, so they're compearable...I believe... Technically in their instruments and music composition, Opeth can't be compared to Dream Theater... And I believe you can also say so cause it seems that you play guitar as I see in your profile picture, and your name too.

[DiamondDimebagDarrel]

@euripappas you're absolutely right!! Dream theater, is way more technical than Opeth, but in my opinion Opeth makes/compose better music but that's the matter of tastes :D... so don't get me wrong i like Dream theater and i do play guitar so i know how technically Petrucci is better than Mikael or Frederik with no doubt! but i just like Opeth's music more :D...

Cheers from Croatia!!

Enjoy!

[ElectricTurkey1]

@DiamondDimebagDarrel I'm with you on that one. Mikael is the best song writer of all the bands I listen to. Dream Theater is great, but Opeth is my #1

[hanifabidin90]

@DiamondDimebagDarrel dream theter decent album are only Awake, Images and Words, and Scenes of Memory, different from Opeth, every album from them is masterpiece.........and one thing, James Labrie s*cks on stage, this comes from huge DT fan

[sebisman2]

@hanifabidin90 I agree that james labrie f*k*ng s*cks on stage, and that opeth makes pure music. But I think that there more awesome DT albums, I like almost all of them (from my personal opinion and from a musical point of view).

Im not saying whos better, actually I dont care, but I think it isnt right to choose some picks from a lot of DT masterpieces, just like you woudnt do with opeth.

[OpethIsTheBestBand]

If i could find the people who disliked this, i would beat them senselessly.

[funone2no]

Yes I LOVE THIS BAND!

[RammsteinTranslator]

4 people just wanted there to be a dislikes joke in the comments.

[jdmusic07]

4:36 - 4:42 - I can read everyone in the crowd's mind: "this band is unbelievable"

[dzedav11]

On youtube, Opeth is the band that has the fewest dislikes on their songs....That's what I've noticed. :)

[Metallaro66]

3 people don't have ears and brain

[kthebloody]

perhaps the best video ever. its so tough to hold back the tears. the way mikael sings is phenomenal. a million views is still far too less for this video!

[yankillyou]

Wonderful, This reminds me of a very painful period, I was listening quite a lot to this version and tears were all the time shedding from my eyes

[andydakilla]

BETTER THAN ALBUM VERSION.

[DrEviscerator666]

3 People like to do hardcore dancing while Opeth plays!

[HadoukevMoongoose]

Seeing these in november cannot fucking wait!!

[MusicalMisanthropist]

@HadoukevMoongoose Seriously, I'm seeing them in october. It's so exciting. Have you seen them before?

[HadoukevMoongoose]

@MusicalMisanthropist Yeah in Newcastle, i havnt seen them before but i cant wait

[WrathOfSteve]

@HadoukevMoongoose I'm seeing them in Newcastle too, gonna be sick.

[thedeadmansorrow]

3 people are idiots for disliking

[Thystonius]

Actually I think Axe is doing great. Also, if nothing is ever allowed to change, you are actually saying no to anything in life... some songs from the 'Axe' era are fucking mindblowing, appreciate the best of both worlds

[claramacdowell]

Fuck it Opeth is a metal band, for me it is the good old progressive rock.

[alexnagel81]

@claramacdowell who cares?

[Bananenbennie]

nice mellow version

[Nikkolaecarpathia]

Needs moar opeth

[Geist452]

@Nikkolaecarpathia done, and done

[Thystonius]

Gee stop whining about Axe, he's way way better than Lopez. The only songs where I prefer Lopez are the slower songs like these, but only a little bit...

[lordofthedonuts89]

3 people clearly have a major hearing disorder :/

[thedeadmansorrow]

@lordofthedonuts89 right lol

[FeelTheFight]

Opeth. Pink Floyd of heavy metal

[zeesupahgerman]

@FeelTheFight actually I would vouch to say that title belongs to Porcupine Tree (the modern Pink Floyd). Opeth is more like today's Led Zeppelin.

[Azured665]

@zeesupahgerman Steven Wilson doesn't like being compared to Pink Floyd, and peronsally, I don't see them remotely similar to Pink Floyd except for the fact that a few of their songs resemble Pink Floyd. Most notably Time Flies, and that's about it.

[xXzimrotXx]

@FeelTheFight Nah. the Moody Blues of Metal

[9rmetal]

fuck man opeth pretty much everything they're fucking awesome

[taximan891]

God damn, these boys play tight, as tight as a witch's cleft.

[ErikaCoverdale]

The best Opeth´s song.

[Ambulanceo]

fucking awesome performance

[bjorn860]

just 1 people dislike this video?, i think it's peter lindgren, the former guitarist of Opeth x)

[AndresMetalSubtitula]

@bjorn860 and why would he do something like that?

[bjorn860]

@AndresMetalSubtitula i was jokin' mate, he wouldn't dislike the band he was in for like 16 years,

[grabox87]

such an amazing song <33

[peavelSD]

nice job, but still I prefer the acoustic version

[jettjackson]

@peavelSD I agree. They should use their acoustic guitars more when live...

[dujfraz]

listening to this and then.. idk demon of the fall, truly shows this band's versatility

[Claidheambmor]

A very interesting version of Harvest. Have to agree with ChucklesMginty on his smooth jazz comment! It's slightly less corny in one sense, yet wonderfully prog because of the synth. :P

All hail Opeth.

[waxercrane]

Opeth the perfect band.

[Seek1Destroy1]

On the nite, I remember thinking I enjoyed The Moor or Harlequin Forest the most. Since buying the audio CD, Harvest and The Funeral Portrait really cut the mustard for me.

This is just so mellow and easy on the ear. Vocals are impeccable. Guitar and bass toned JUST right. Solo is superb! Keyboards and drums were applied in perfect measure too. I really like the swing elements Axe incorporates into this too. Opeth = the supreme masters of music

[jamiejujamie]

247 people need to shit in a bag, and you know where i'm gonna take it.

[mazrio128]

OMFG this is so f'in sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! \m/

[donbehatin]

Yep, better than the studio version.

[vincedoomreaper88]

I'd love to have heard Pink Floyd cover this.

[osobliwy666]

I was there and when i whatch it i still fell alive.

[Dru99niak]

Martin Lopez..

[Chadorok]

0 dislikes... Finally the world understands that Opeth wins ?

[PatS1t]

@Chadorok I ruined it

[Chadorok]

@PatS1t I hate you man :(

[HachiroLobo]

@Chadorok Unfortunately, my friend, that time hasn't come yet...

[carjan91]

@Chadorok Four months later and hope has died :'(

[can192]

@Chadorok oh no 3 dislikes :(

[lookin4fun11880]

@Chadorok Unfortunately aliens invaded earth just to dislike on opeth songs,DAMN !!!

[fardiemann]

@Chadorok why did u have to say there is no dislakes? now people will notice your comment and dislike the video x)

[Strikr]

The only thing that would make this performance better is if Kenny G came out with his Soprano Sax and then burst into flames.

[JonyKiba]

@Strikr

indeed

[jonesy97]

@Strikr Ha! I was screaming,"NOOOOO!" until I read the bursting into flames part. Well, I guess it's ok then. Lol.

[felphero]

@Strikr AHAHAAHHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA­AHHAHAHAHA

damn man, that was some funny fucking shit

plus 1!

[Allor1994]

the most beautiful opeth song

[Rowina18]

Opeth's smoothness always leaves me speechless.

It's like they were born on a stage, performing. It's like their instruments are added limbs belonging to their bodies.

I'm amazed.

Beautiful version of a beloved song, btw.

[TheDamnedWolfman]

This is fucking unbelievable -- Anyone would've told me "Opeth will play 'Harvest' in a different, far more beautiful way." I would have never believed it. Way to take an already perfect song to another level.

Holy shit. I am speechless.

[di6di6er6]

even the trolls like to opeth...

[supertaldo10001]

thumps up if you cant stop listening this

[Zymm]

so funny how he said "just want to help the guys. :-)" to avoid the copyright shit on youtube xD!!!, i dont think they need HELP xD!!!! godamn is OPETH!

[AgiosoAbominatum]

they are the closer thing to god i ever met haha

[Rhandahl]

@AgiosoAbominatum I am sure you mean they are the closest thing we will find here, that is somewhat being what someone describes as an omnipotent creature, obviously there is no god..... Hail opeth anyway:)

[0nl1n3n00b]

@Rhandahl

+1! :D

Couldn't have said it better, thank you. :-)

[Beastm0deENGAGE]

Holy crap!!!

[countgr]

amazing version!!!!!

[VansOwns]

perfect

[kingyoshi12]

I'm sick right now, like I have a cold and fever. Mikael's voice is slowly curing me<3

Nothing beats his soothing vocals

[anguszena]

amazing,electric,quiet,technic­al and awesome version.......chapeau! OPETH RULES.

[uptheWessums]

i heard Bloodbath before i heard Opeth and i was like, "wow this guy can sing." Then i heard Opeth and i was like, "this guy is so fucking good!"

[5kokoko]

Mikael kinda looks like Billy Connolly... but god they are amazing. this just made me cry.

[deadlymist666]

Wow Opeth is awesome!

[dpkpkr]

i love the way these guys compose their tracks...........they takes listeners 2 totally different level.......this guys are owesome........

[lichking23]

There is nothing to say about this performance. This guys are godm damn incredible. Love u Opeth, u are number 1.

[lichking23]

There is nothing to say about this performance. This guys are godm damn incredible. Love u Opeth, u are number 1.

[VansOwns]

this music needs to be longer

[keixoun]

I TOTALLY LOOOOOVED THIS VERSION the keyboards sound sooo 70's

[alienhell663]

For me, this song sounds better live. The studio version seems to have such a focus on chords in the acoustic and this just flows so slowly, so sadly. It's very tranquil and so so beautiful.

[WinterDweller]

great fucking performance of this song, i just fucking love it.-

[jazbii]

i love this version when it starts at 0:00

and when the video ends at 6:24

[markusmachadoReturns]

Holy shit best live version of this song ever

[craggaz]

3:02. An attractive female (at least I *hope* it's a female - could just be a very effeminate-looking guy with long hair...), standing a few metres away from where I was, and who likes Opeth enough to pay £30 to see them. A rare find, but it makes me happy that such females exist.

[balmung100]

haha a member of one of the biggest and most famous bands in the world.. is wearing an entombed shirt :D

[Megadedly]

@balmung100 Their not one of the biggest and most famous dude...what are you talking about.

[kippeveer]

@balmung100 Check the video Pull me under by Dream Theater, The singer wears a Napalm Death shirt.

[PretzelsForEveryone]

How is even possible for one to begin describing the sanctity of the masterpiece properly.

They are truly magnificent. Flawless rendition, I believe my eyes watered a little.

[Unrated48]

Opeth is synonym to music.

[applexxcore]

@Unrated48 synonymous*

and yes, i agree

[dragonblaze1991]

What a voice. Epic!!

[Unrated48]

THIS !!! THIS IS SEX!!!

[Battossai3000]

i preffer the orig version but this is quite good me likey!

[jmcb76]

This actually gave me shivers!

[dani1928]

Mikael is better then god

[GuitarRocks23455]

I fucking love his voice! its Hard to find a a vocalist that sounds as good or even better than the recordings now days.

[donangry]

Axenshit knew better than to even attempt to seriously emulate Lopez on this song, it can't be done. Kudos to him for knowing his place.

[HarvestHollow]

@donangry Axenrot* is actually a really solid drummer. Both were great.

Get the fuck over it.

[donangry]

@HarvestHollow Tell me what it feels like to be satisfied with mediocrity in your music.

[HarvestHollow]

@donangry No man, I get what you mean. I like Lopez more. But Axenrot still a great drummer, 

[Megadedly]

@donangry Stop saying the same shit on every Opeth video, no one gives a shit. Axe is a great drummer. Go eat a dick.
