Movie Reviews of Opeth: Lamentations - Live at Shepherd's Bush Empire
Movie Review: My Favorite Music DVD - EVER!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
OPETH - Lamenations (DVD)
-
Since the purchase of this DVD I do not believe I have gone a week without watching at least part of the Concert. From start to finish this DVD showcase one of World's greatest bands proving why they are one of the greatest bands.
There are two sets: The 1st set opens with Windowpane and continues though all of the Damnation Album (Actually they throw in Harvest off BWP before the closer Weakness.) Set One may be subtle in its delivery, yet it beautiful and incredibly atmospheric. The exception is the ending of Closure, Which I believe has the only real distortion off of Damnation. This ending erupts which is only a preview of what is to come during their second set.
The Second Set (The Heavier Part) is composed of songs off Deliverance and Blackwater Park. From what I've heard, they had some label issues and couldn't record anything Pre-BWP for this DVD. SET II, kicks off with Master's Apprentices... which is was the perfect way to begin thing on a heavier note and then they continue with: The Drapery Falls, Deliverance, and The Leper Affinity. For a closer Opeth plays the beautiful: A Fair Judgment, which is my personal favorite, slower Opeth song.
In addition to this 2 hour concert there is an hour plus Documentary with Steven Wilson. (Incase you don't know he was their Producer for BWP, Deliverance and Damnation. - He is also the front man of the UK band called Porcupine Tree.) This Documentary is a great way to get inside the making of the last 2 albums as well as to get to know the Band and Mr. Wilson.
Some highlights are, the scene where Martin Lopez is recording the end of Deliverance... very cool. There is also a scene where Mikeal is doing some death-growls with a goofy look on his face. He keeps giving a look to Steve Wilson as if he's questioning his approval on his previous scream. (Actually it is quite humorous to hear a vicious death growl and then see the looks he gives Wilson)
All in all, this DVD is required for anyone who either loves Opeth or those may have even a remote interest in the band. In fact everyone who has a remote interest in music should check this out. Even the first part of the Concert (SET I) would easily be acceptable by my Fathers 70's Rock Roots.
Favorite Tracks: Closure, Master's Apprentice, The Leper Affinity and A Fair Judgment.
-5.0 Stars
P.S. To those who said this DVD was boring because there wasn't enough stage antics... go buy the Killswitch Engage DVD. Personally I'd rather watch a talented band compose a work of art. Then a band that will do overdubs to correct the mistakes they make while playing live and dancing around like fools. Nothing Personal KsE but antics may impress the 15 year olds but Opeth are the Masters of a live performance and this DVD clearly demonstrates that.
