Mikael Åkerfeldt and Per Wieberg on board Melloboat 2008

Few hours before the gig, some of the band members got on the stage to do some sound checks and instruments set up.

Mikael was singing "Here Come The Tears" by Judas Priest and playing the guitar with Per playing the keyboard in the background.

Mikael = Best vocalist EVER. Period. Opeth are such beautiful people

[OyvindBjorgo]

The song is Here Come The Tears by Judas Priest. ;)

I think the rendition done here is cooler that Judas Priest's version.

[MisanthropicMartyr]

they really need to release a studio version of this...

[nachtschatten27]

Don't you have a complete version of this song?

[gruu]

Now this was kinda rare, really cool stuff, thanks alot!

[irmunky]

ahh did anyone get the full cover? how much of the song did they play?

[5lug]

... what. you can't compare mikeal to halford? yeah right.

[evilmaldadmuerte]

WHAT!? No way, you can't beat the original. You can't compare Mikael to Halford!

Cult jamming, though

Hear the orignal on the 'Sin after sin' album!

[KennysKoolKlub]

[floyd0murphy]
