Seen them a few times back in the day - between the state of the later albums and the prices I'll pass.

[Squigs]

Dunno what's madder to me, the venue or that you could pay €100 to see Opeth in Ireland.

[Pagan Saviour]

Yep, still have my stub for the Shelter In 2001 with Katatonia and November pretty sure it was around 20eur. Both Bands in their prime too. I'll keep that memory.

[Squigs]

Aye, more power to them.

What size is the BGT? About 2000, give or take?

[Pagan Saviour]

Yeah about 2000 or so. And indeed more power to them, it's great to have seeing them increase the crowd size over the years. Just not for me.

I saw them over the summer and they were great, good mix of the setlist, mostly the heavier 2000s stuff with a few tunes off their latest album sprinkled in, think the softer song they played was from Damnation. Would have liked something from Still Life but they played one from Morningrise.

[Trev]

I gave up on the prog era stuff, but really enjoyed the last album, probably head along to this

Is the Bord Gais all seating though?

[Pagan Saviour]

Yep, it's a bit mad in that respect. Think the last Rock gig I was at there was Incubus - it was a terrible gig anyway but the seating arrangement took away whatever life was left in it.

[Blizzard Beast]

Last album was good.
Whats the sound like at that venue like for metal gigs?

[Pagan Saviour]

I thought it was a bit boomy if I'm being honest, it's fine if it's a different type of artist or a musical etc

[Paul keohane]

Ive very little interest in Opeth with a long time, but this could be cool in a venue like that!.

The Shelter gig back in the day was something else!,I still have to tour shirt!

[Rust Puppets]

The Presale code for the artist presale is LASTWILL. I got a ticket there now €80 for lower level ticket.

[Trev]

Managed to get a ticket in the third row, was a bit on the fence about going but figured I may as well grab those seats once I saw them

[Rust Puppets]

I'm in the 5th row so should have a good view. I've seen Elvis Costello and Suede play there before and the sound was good but first time seeing a metal band playing there.

[Carnage]

I've been there 3 times (Dead Can Dance, Kraftwerk and Blade Runner live), once on the middle tier and twice in the gods. Sound was great for all three so I wouldn't expect any issues.

I'd be curious how well it'll work for a metal band, though not curious enough to pay that t8cket price plus accomodation, travel, food/drink etc.
