The first band was Nachtmystium, which was an okay band I suppose. I have never been big into the "black metal" scene. The crowd was somewhat moved, although I was not very impressed.
The second band was High on Fire. The good thing about this band was that I liked the performance of the lead signer. He seemed quite pleased about being on stage, and not gloomy and forgetting he has an audience. However, High on Fire is not my cup of tea either...
Lastly, Opeth came on. At this point, I have been pushed to about third row from the fence. I thought that the moshing overall was a bit too much for Opeth. There were some people who thought it was a hardcore show, having no regard for others.
After about a few songs into Opeth, I got frustrated at the moshing and decided to take a coke and go up to the balcony. The sound quality was much better (I have actually never before left the pit). Best of all, there was no bad smell thanks to the lack of deodorants! Opeth put on a good show. They played songs from various albums, ranging from even their oldest ones! Mike and the rest were in a great mood, which really added to the show. A hilarious comment made by Mike towards Per was "Per looks like fuckin' Conan, minus the muscles".
